I'm a very competitive, physical player. I think football helped me with that. I'm not afraid to hit the floor. Coaches like to see tough, physical players. A lot of players aren't like that. You throw a few elbows at a player on a rebound, and they might back off a little bit. |
I'm going to tell you this. As long as I don't hear another word about this organization or the members of this organization, I won't have another thought about this. And we'll move on. |
I've got a lot of patience, |
If it wasn't for my confidence in Cooper, I couldn't consider these things. |
It was in spring training that you noticed a bunch of them hanging around together, going out to dinner, |
It's extremely special because we hadn't been (to the World Series) in so long, |
It's kind of a floating number, but we want to check in around $90 million. |
It's the national epicenter [and this] is a sincere honor. I don't think it should be taken lightly. For me, it's the thrill of a lifetime to be on this stage with the President [and the White Sox]. |
It's very similar, but we haven't won anything yet, ... We need to win four more games and then talk about comparisons. |
Jerry has done everything over the course of 16 years to protect that man, made accommodations for him, concessions for him. He loaned him money, at times, when he needed money. If he was any kind of a man, he would quit talking about things in the paper and return a phone call or come knock on somebody's door. |
Jose seems to understand the great opportunity he's been given here. And the bottom line is, I want to make sure I have the pitching to support all of the offense we've added. That remains the top priority. |
Judging from some of the faces I saw last night and early this morning, be careful what you ask for. You might not want the regulars in there. |
Just because we've come off a world championship, we have work to do as a team and as an organization, and as individuals. Ozzie is still growing into the position and the responsibility of the position as well as I am. We'll just continue to try to evolve in a way that is a first-class and respectable way. We not only want to try to win, we want to try to win in a first-class manner and be known as a first-class organization. Clearly, we have a little bit of work to do, but we will keep at it. |
Kids who come through and have eaten seem to be really satisfied. |
Obviously we've never been in this situation before. I don't know if any of us know what to expect. I'm looking forward to putting a World Series ring on. |
