What I did to Alex was wrong. He can do whatever he wants. If he wants to play for Japan, fine for him. |
What I see from [Iguchi] is a great RBI man. I want to get him more home runs. He will help because he knows the league better. Last year he battled every day to make it to the big leagues. One year already being here, I have a lot of confidence he will have a better year. |
When a man signs a contract he should honor it, ... They signed me for three seasons to win ... they were going to pay me just the same whether or not we were champions. |
When he came to the States, he knows he's got to change the game for us, and he did, ... If you look at my team from a manager's view, one of the biggest reasons we're here is because of Iguchi. |

When he gave me that answer, it was just walk away and let him pitch. I think it's nice when you have four guys you can count on. |
When he starts walking people and throwing the ball all over the plate, he gets in trouble. I think [with] this kid, we know he's got one of the best arms, maybe the best arm, in my rotation, and he's showing right now what kind of pitcher he is. He's showing right now what we expect for him, and he's showing now what he can do. |
When I played for him, I said, 'If you don't mind, I want to learn from you. Can I ask you questions during the game, why are you doing this?' He explained it to me, |
When I say my team stinks and doesn't play the way it can play, I don't want to hear it from anybody else because they can hear it from me. |
When Pods gets on base, our offense is better. It was big for him to have a day like today. |
When the ball bounces your way, you have a chance. This is a game about inches, and we take advantage of the two inches that helped us today. |
When the planes went over the stadium in Anaheim [during the American League Championship Series last week], I said a prayer, |
When we get to Minnesota, we'll talk about the issue he has with his teammates. Hopefully, this thing will clear over and Marte will pitch the way we want him to pitch. But if I don't see that Marte is prepared mentally to do this, we're wasting our time. |
When we play on the road, we represent Chicago, the city, and I think we've got something that's going on here that's nice for the city. I think we have something going on that's something good for sports in Chicago, and when you're a true Cubs fan or true White Sox fan, I think I'll be wrong, I think anybody that's a Cubs fan is really true, but I want the support from him because we represent a big city and a nice city. |
When we put this team together, I never believed it would happen so fast. I'll tell you one thing right now, I will be back next year, |
