I don't think that anybody should be suspended for life for anything, other than murder. How is it helping someone to say, 'You're done forever, your life's over'?
I was often misquoted. I was supportive of my managers, even though they all may not think so.
I don't want to be in the Hall of Fame. I don't think owners should be.
Don't talk to me about aesthetics or tradition. Talk to me about what sells and what's good right now. And what the American people like is to think the underdog still has a chance.
He's No. 1, as far as I'm concerned. We were thinking today of how many good guys have come out of Cuba, and he's certainly the best one that ever came out of there.
not pleased with the manager. I don't know why he left him in.
I'm not pleased with the manager. I don't know why they kept the left-hander in there. ... He should never have pitched to Konerko. Konerko's their best hitter.
I'm proud of them, and delighted for our fans who stuck with us through this tough, exciting season. But this is only the first step toward our goal, a championship.
I hope we do well. Everything pleased me. It's all in the manager's hands.
I'm very happy for him. He's gone through a lot. He's proving he's a winner, and I'm proud of Jason Giambi.
I'm used to spring training being about the World Series.
I'm happy to have him in the fold. He's a gem.
I'm happy to have him in our clubhouse.
I've got no comment. It's all in the manager's hands.
