couple guys needed
Why is the lineup this way? ... Because I'm the manager. I wanted it that way. A couple of guys needed rest.

We're going to use him as quickly as we can.
baseball doubt lousy playing team watching
We're playing lousy baseball on the bases, pitching, everything. There's no doubt about it. We really flat-out stink. It's not the same team I've been watching all year.

amazing appreciate ballpark baseball bring chicago city earned empty fans feeling fun good guys half media missing nice people players stomach turned
We appreciate the way the fans have turned out this year. But you have an empty feeling in your stomach when you come out and see half of the ballpark empty. The players earned the people to be watching. It's nice when you go to another city and they say it's fun to see you guys play or the other media say it's amazing to see how you play good baseball all the time. And then you come to Chicago and you feel like you are missing something. You feel like we've done what we have to do to bring people to the ballpark.

We're in Chicago. When you spend almost your whole career here, you know what to expect.

We're going to continue to look around and see what happens.
crazy hitting
We're hitting like crazy right now. It's about time. In 2005, it was just pitching, pitching, pitching.
guys hits hitting nine nobody sudden three time tonight walk
When we were really struggling, you didn't see guys get two hits in a game. Any time someone got one hit, one walk -- nobody could put it together. Tonight when we were hitting the ball, one guy got three hits, one had two RBIs, one had two hits, all of a sudden you don't need nine guys to get a hit -- just two or three to get a hit at the right time.
We are here, they are not, because we pitched better.
boston clubhouse trip
We're not going to use them. Making the trip for no reason, Boston is real uncomfortable, the clubhouse is small.
