atlanta ball behind bit easier enjoy everybody field game knew pitcher played quick
I always wanted to get off the field as quick as I could. It's easier for everybody and it's more fun. I played behind Maddux a little bit (in Atlanta in 1998-99) and you knew that on any pitch, the (hitter) was going to put the ball in play. You enjoy the game a little bit more when you have a pitcher like that.
goes pitcher pitching sets
Like I say every day, I think the pitching sets the tone. When you've got a pitcher go there and do what Jose did today, I think everything goes perfectly.
feeling giving last lead mistake pitchers relax
They're giving me the feeling we're back on track. I could go and relax in the last inning. The pitchers could make a mistake with the lead and before they can't make any.
baseball best bring guy leave matter pitchers second
This guy's one of the best pitchers in baseball and when you make this guy leave in the second inning, no matter what you bring in from the bullpen, it's not going to be better than him.
baseball bringing good kept pitcher shows
It shows you how good of a pitcher he was. He got in all that trouble, but baseball kept bringing him back.

Defense made up for his hitting in the early season. We tell our pitchers to keep the ball in the ballpark and we have a chance to catch it.

He has one of the best arms, maybe is 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 from him and what he can do.
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.

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.

I went out and talked to Freddy, about if he's got enough,

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.

I don't disrespect anybody. I want to make that clear. I'm not going to the White House because my kids are more important than anything in my life.
