We flat-out got beat by a better team this week. No way around that. I'll definitely have my White Sox hat on during the World Series. They're a great team, and fun to watch. |
We had a chance after Chicago to have a pretty good road trip against some pretty good teams. At a big time of the year, we pretty much blew that here. |
We had a chance to get to him tonight, but it seems like he has an ability to step it up when he gets in trouble, and he did that tonight, ... There aren't many times when you're going to be able to hold that lineup to two runs that late in the game, so it was frustrating because we weren't able to get it done. |

We're two guys who like to cover some ground. I just look at it as a good thing. It's going to be tough to get the ball through the right side. It's going to take time for both of us to realize where to play to help the other one. I can play more up the middle to give him more room. But it's going to take a little time to figure it out. |
We've seen him have a lot of life on his ball before, with that tough cutter. He didn't have it today. ... He still battled, but he did not have a lot on the ball. |
When we've had success in the playoffs before, we had a lineup full of guys getting hits one after another. But having Garret healthy and swinging like he can would be real big for us. |
With him, it can happen anytime. It doesn't matter if he does it the last week or whenever. I think we have to be careful of not sitting back and watching and not relying on it. We're not going to put all of our eggs in that basket, it's too dangerous. We have a nice offensive roll going and we're not going to rely on one person. |
You're going to have your 0-for-4 days, but you don't want to have days on defense when you're going to cost the pitcher a run or two, so you have to stay sharp on defense. |
