afraid great people pitching pull reason
He's aggressive. He has great instinct, and he isn't afraid to pull the trigger. There's a reason why they did so well. People will say they have a great pitching staff, but you have to make it work.
carry good
I want Vazquez to be Vazquez. I want him to show up. He's a good pitcher. He does not have to come here and carry the team. He just has to do what he has done in the past.
best fight gave guys kenny mean saying
Kenny gave me the best. I'm not saying it because we win. I'm saying it because I mean it. Kenny gave me the best guys to fight for me and this team.
facing stuff white worrying
They're the world champions. They know how to play in the playoffs. They have the veterans. We can't be worrying about facing Manny or stuff like that. We have to play White Sox baseball.

I liked everything about it, except the rain.
bad expect next outing
He just had a bad game. I expect a better outing next time.
counts decisions game playoff stay talking type
I'm not the type of person who counts something I don't have. Do we think about it? Yeah, that's part of the game and part of the strategy. We have to make decisions and make rosters. Right now, I try to stay away the most I can about talking about playoff games.
bases bother players playing steal
That really doesn't bother me, because that's how we play. We steal bases and that's going to happen. I don't want my players not playing aggressively.
chicago fans good happened patience waited whatever
A good thing happened to us. I think being here for so many years and the fans in Chicago waited so long and had so much patience and are still there for us ... I don't know how many years, 80 or whatever it is ... good thing we did it.

He's a real New Yorker, he wore the pinstripes. You got to beg me to come back here.

El Duque has a year left on his contract with Chicago and hopefully in that year we can make the most of him because he's a winner and knows what he needs to do on the mound.
besides exciting
Besides the rings, it was the only exciting thing.
chicago crazy enjoy fans great people proud wild
Enjoy it. Enjoy it. Have a great time, ... Don't get too crazy in the street. Be careful. I know people are going wild right now. ... Feel proud about this team. Feel proud about what we did. I know what we want to do, but I think Chicago fans should feel real proud.
convinced might ready teams york
He convinced me he was ready to go. We need this kid. ... Especially with the two teams we might play, New York or Anaheim, we need two lefties (in the bullpen).
