best doubt games mirror nine pitching runs score staff
When you score nine runs, these are games you have to win, no doubt about it. When your best thing is the pitching staff and you score nine runs for the pitching staff we've had all year, no way we should have lost. We have to look in the mirror and pitch better.
cocky last rub year
When you're world champions, you (can) be cocky or try to rub it in their face. It's nice. You have the ring, you have the trophy. I always said last year, 'We're not that good.' This year it's the same way.
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.
criticize easy happened sudden work
It's not easy when you play or work in one place that many years and all of a sudden you're gone. Because it happened to me before, I'm not going to criticize Frank.
criticize happened
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.
crap happened hear people talking white
That happened to me. I was talking crap about the White Sox, but I just said it once. That's it. I got it off of my chest. If you hear it day in and day out, people get aggravated about it.
arm chance coming gives good happened innings jon kid league misses opportunity pulled seven sudden took trust
Before I got the job, Jon never had the opportunity to go more than six, seven innings. They always pulled him out, and all of a sudden I give him the chance and he took advantage. I think this kid's arm is there. This kid gives 200 innings every year, he never misses a start. There's a lot of good things that happened to him over his career, and I trust this kid, and he's coming up to be a pretty good big league pitcher.
close easy happen human quick reaction
Things happen so quick and so close it's not easy for a human being to make the reaction or see what happened.
jamie tough
Jamie can be tough on a lot of guys. It allows me to use my bench, but he can just be tough on hitters. Look at the numbers.
cubs fans people rivalry says side south white
I know there is a rivalry between the Cubs fans and the White Sox fans, but people have to know this is one city. On the chest, it doesn't say South Side or White Sox. It says Chicago.
leave opportunity pick win
I say this because I want to win it here. It would give me the opportunity to pick what I want to do. I didn't say I'd leave baseball. I can't live without baseball.
talked
I went out and talked to Freddy, about if he's got enough,
grabbing nobody seen
I have never seen anything like this. Here is a shot, take it, and nobody is grabbing it.

I have a rule on my team. If you are late and not on the disabled list, you won't be on my team.
