We're doing fine. I'm not going to start messing around with guys' brains. In time, he'll hit cleanup. We've said that before.

We're battling, and we got some big hits. Our fans saw a pretty fired-up bunch of guys out there today.
battling easier few good guys numbers players positions start stretching work
We're getting down to a few numbers where we can work it a little easier and not try to get everyone in. We want to start stretching out our players and take a good look at some of these guys that are battling each other and battling for positions on this team.
cleaned looking mess
We're looking at the possibility of getting this thing cleaned up. He's pitched on it long enough. We're not going to mess it up and take a chance.

We don't know where to go from here, but it was a nice night.
banging definitely guys middle runs start
We definitely need those guys to hit, that's the middle of the lineup. We need our middle guys to start banging the runs around.

We did everything we could, ... You're in a pennant race. ... We're trying to win. Five runs in two innings -- you can't go with that.
bats detroit games good kansas period swing
We've got to play a very good Detroit team, and obviously, we didn't swing the bats very well in the first two games (in Kansas City). So, righting the ship, that comes over a long period of time.
good guys runs score win
This was a good win for us. To come out and score some runs and get a lead, we haven't done that very often. It was fun. The guys got to run the bases.

We know he's pitching with a lot of guts right now. As long as he wants the ball, we know he's OK to go out there.
behind bit exactly good guy location normally perfect seen stuff
We know he's the one guy who's a little bit behind where he would normally be. No excuses. He had good stuff tonight, but he's not exactly perfect right now with his location and as good as we've seen him.
accuse game laying
We know how important this game is to the Sox and everyone else and no one can accuse us of laying down.

We know how much this means to the White Sox and what kind of race they're in. So we just want to compete as hard as we can and make sure we don't get accused by anybody of laying down.
fire knocked
We knocked the fire out of the ball.
