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.
chicago contract hopefully knows left needs winner year
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.
beats carry chance game great home knowing lose win
If you win 94, 96 games, and someone beats you, then you go home knowing that you didn't lose, someone beat you, ... You can't let it get to you. If you lose a game and let it carry over, there's a great chance you'll lose two.
booing doubts fun games lead obviously people release second takes win
I feel proud. It's not like I'm criticizing the people that were booing because when you go from a 15-game lead to one or two, obviously they do it. But when you win that many games and people keep criticizing and criticizing, second doubts and second guessing, it takes the fun away from the people. To me this is a release and a satisfaction.
advice averages cannot close confident continue early games hard law pick pull together ways winning year
No -- I could get some advice from him this year ... Advice isn't going to help. You cannot pick when things go right and things go wrong. You have to look at the law of averages where they were winning games early in the year, too. It's hard to continue to win in that many different ways and that many close games. I'm confident they'll get it together and pull it together.
keeps leave win
If you leave that many on base, you aren't going to win many games. It keeps happening, and I don't know why. We had opportunities, and didn't take them.
hate series seven win
I hate Wrigley Field. We'd have to win seven World Series in a row.
expect guys win
I expect to win when these guys pitch.
arm attack best confidence game guys kid matter strikes throw time win won
Jose had always had the best arm on my team. It's a matter of time when he can use that. It's a matter of confidence. This kid won a big game for us and he showed the guys when you have confidence and throw strikes and attack the strike zone, you can win a lot of games.
forget win
Don't forget what we did to win the game. I don't want to concentrate on the calls.
help hopefully level next people pick win
I've got to go with the same people it was in the ... Hopefully the people we pick help us to get to the next level to win this thing.
concerned game people win
I never, ever said we were going to win this thing easy. A lot of people thought I was scared, a lot of people thought I was insecure. ... No, no, no. I know baseball. I will be concerned if we are one game behind.
talking white win
The White Sox were talking (garbage). They were talking (garbage) back. You've got to win between the lines. They did that.
games lost runs score series win
It's not how many runs you score in one game, it is how many games you win in a series and we lost the series.
