I asked him what happened, and he said because the average is better here than on the road, but it doesn't mean anything, ... You have a team like the Texas Rangers and you expect them to get a lot of hits. To me, that's my opinion, they have one of the best, if not the best, hitting coach in baseball. |
I assured him if it gets passed around by drunken ballplayers after winning, it wouldn't be broken in Venezuela, |
I believe in him. He's got to get better. |
I believe in pitching. You can put a little league team on the field to catch the ball. With the pitching staff they have, they've still got a chance. |
I can eat and drink for free in Chicago. What's better than that? |
I can see this kid having a pretty good year. That's why we got him. He could carry this team for a little while. |
I cannot say never, |
I did it because we had a bullfight one day, and I didn't want to go to spring training. I got all the excuses. |
I don't believe that in the next round of voting I will be selected for the Hall of Fame, but just being on the ballot makes me proud. |
I don't blame him for going for the money. You can't feed your family with championship rings. |
I don't blame them for booing us today. |
I don't care if you play little league last year, you perform here, and open my eyes, we are going to keep you. |
I don't care if you're a Cubs fan, a Bulls fan, a Bears fan. I think a lot of people now are Chicago fans, |
I don't criticize people who were booing because [we went] from a 15-game lead to one or two. [On the other hand], when you win that many games and people are criticizing and criticizing, [it takes] the fun away. |
I don't disrespect anybody. I want to make that clear. I'm not going to the White House because my kids are more important than anything in my life. |
