We want to get to the World Series, ... It's all about the World Series. Hopefully, it's meant to be for us. We don't know yet.
Without Rocket being around, nobody is going to fill those shoes. But Brandon is a big piece of our puzzle. He understands what he can and can't do. He is going to be a big part of this.
We had a Saturday day game, and we went out, and I had dinner and a couple beers and went home to bed, ... It was hot. By the third or fourth inning, I wasn't sure where I was.
Fans have been awesome to him and people have no idea how much pain this man's been through. This is why he came back. He came back to help us. Today he goes out and gets the game-winning RBI, and you couldn't have written a better script.
Obviously, today four runs was enough, ... Andy pitched great and we played good defense. We had three double plays early that were big. The way the series started, that was a huge comeback to get two wins.
It's unbelievable even to say the World Series and that we're going right now. So, yeah, I don't know how else to express it. It's a pretty emotional day.
It's the way to do it. You can't have total transition unless you want to have total failure.
It's one brother's love for another brother. It started small and has grown into what it is today.
It's the only way we know how to do it. We can win 10-9 or 2-1. It's just something that over the last three or four years, we have no idea on how to blow another team out. I think a lot of guys in here are used to the tough games.
That's the first time I've ever faced Billy. He threw me a fastball in, then inside again. The last pitch was 99 mph, so I could have popped it up.
That's a baseball mom. I thought it was pretty admirable of my mom. She said she understands the amount of injuries we have around here, and the time of year it is, and she felt bad about it.
It was a great ceremony. The rings are great. It was a memorable day, up until the game started. Then we just didn't play very well today. All of us.
It was a good pitcher's duel, but it would have been tough to waste that pitching performance by Andy. The biggest thing with Andy was getting his velocity back. Everybody in here knew that once he did, you're going to see what you saw before. When he's throwing that cutter at 83-84-85 miles an hour last year and getting away with it then, you could only imagine what it was going to be like when he started getting it up to 90-91.
It was one guy who acted like a 12-year-old, who slapped her upside the head. I'm not going to sit here and hold all the Chicago fans accountable for this for one guy who was acting like an idiot.
