I feel that we have a better lineup than we're showing. But we have been really struggling the last week and a half. No one in our lineup is swinging the bat well right now. I think some of the guys are trying too hard and good things are just not happening for us right now. |
I had to show him I had faith in him and make him believe we trust him. The thing about Jose is he didn't want to let people down. When he signed the big contract, people talked about how much money he made and how he should win every game. When you go to the mound and think, 'I have to do good,' obviously you're going to fail. |
I hate Wrigley Field. We'd have to win seven World Series in a row. |
I have 10 fingers, I hope to fill them with rings. |
I have a lot of faith in my bullpen, ... We win a lot of games because of them. |
I have a rule on my team. If you are late and not on the disabled list, you won't be on my team. |
I have faith in him, |
I have faith in him, and I make him believe we trust him and believe in him. He was so insecure. The thing about Jose was he didn't want to let people down. We had a lot of patience with him - he'd take a lot of heat, I'd take a lot of heat - and thank God we stayed with him. |
I have never seen anything like this. Here is a shot, take it, and nobody is grabbing it. |
I have no idea of what the rotation might be, ... Ask me tomorrow. |
I have to respect the other manager of the other team, and when your job is manager, I let the guys enjoy themselves and celebrate with the winning. |
I hope he throws a no-hitter [today], ... [But] he's not in my playoff plan. |
I hope White Sox fans don't take it the wrong way like they always take me. But on our chest, in the beautiful city of Chicago, it says 'White Sox.' And when we play on the road, we represent Chicago, the city. I think we've got something that's going on here that's nice for the city. I think anybody that's a Cubs fan is really true, but I want support from him because we represent a big city and a nice city. |
I just had a meeting and I told everybody I feel proud of my team. I feel proud because they went out and did everything they could do to win this game. We had a chance to win it even with the guys all over the place out of position. I could not be more pleased the way my team reacted. |
I just hope they play 20 innings. I hope they play 20 innings and the pitchers get tired, and hopefully we'll take advantage of that. |
