I’d rather be in this position than sitting around in September playing kids and talking about being the spoilers or some (garbage) like that. This is why you play the game. |
If 'Duque' throws well, we'll see how we'll use him, but this guy will be in the mix. It's just a matter of how we use him. |
If he wants to get it done, I'll throw six balls right down the middle of the plate and let him hit six home runs, and let him do whatever he wants to do. He'll get it. I think it would be great for baseball, great for the game, because now we put another name on top of those names. |
If he's not here, we don't think about him. If he's here, great. We can see him, see how he is. I know a couple of the guys here would be really happy to see him. |
If his health is good, yes. I'm not worried about his swing. If he's got good health and he's ready to run, then he will [start]. |
If I get to do it with this ballclub? Whoa, that's going to be the best feeling ever. |
If I named all that I'm disappointed about, we might be here all day. The entire week was disappointing. Even the game we won, I was disappointed. If we continue to play like this, good luck. |
If I think I'm good, I don't care about that stuff. If he's not with the Cubs, he'll be with someone else. He's already proved to a lot of people in baseball that he's a good manager. That's it, he's a good manager. |
If it's going to help the team to do that, I'm going to do that. |
If Marte's not ready to help this team, he can have a nice trip to the Dominican Republic by himself. |
If Nomo throws strikes, I believe he can still get people out. It's hard to make any decisions, or say anything, when you only see a guy for six or seven innings . |
If not then he'll have to wait until Monday. |
If people think I'm here to please the fans and media, they're wrong, ... I don't care how much they boo me. I could care less. It's my job. I'm not afraid. |
If people think that was an easy play to make, they're wrong. I have been there before, and I know how it feels. It was not an easy play for him. |
If something happened to one of the Venezuelan players, they got hurt, they can't play anymore, they won't give one (bleep) about them. But if they don't play, they will criticize them. |
