“How do you think the Red Sox are going to do this season?”

“So marvelous we won’t be able to stand it. It’ll be a repeat of 2004. We will not jinx them this year. They’ve got it all!”

“Good. I hope they do better than last season.”

Shawn Flewelling, Brewer

“We’re going to make it to the playoffs, but then we’ll lose in game three.”

Nathan Harrison, Old Town

“I think they are going to win, because Theo’s brought in all these young up-and-coming stars, but we’ve still got Manny and Varitek.”

Jonathan LeBlanc, Bangor

“Badly. They always do badly, except for that one year.”

Francesca Havre, Bangor

“I hope they lose, because I’m a Yankees fan.”

Samantha Lindsey, Hermon

“Even though we were betrayed by Johnny, I think they’ll still do well. But I don’t know if they’ll go all the way.”

Nancy Norris, Orrington

“They’re gonna do wonders. They’re gonna win.”

Sherry Viola, Bangor
