This is not necessarily a home run lineup, but we have guys who are strong enough to hit home runs. The guys are feeding off each other right now...and we're playing good team baseball.
I've been around this game for so long and been in stretch runs like this and playoff runs. This game comes at you day in and day. Last night I couldn't get it done, but tonight I'm a hero.
I usually didn't play against him. I don't know what it is year to year. I went in with the same game plan.
You're fouling pitches off your leg all the time. It's a matter of catching one spot with a lot of force into it -- then you've got a chance to do something bad.
I didn't really try to do too much, ... Just tried to hit it hard somewhere and found a hole up the middle.
One of the worst weather games we played in so far.
No one ever said this was going to be easy. We've got to stay positive and just find a way to get some momentum.
Last year was the best team I've played on as far as an all-around team. Maybe not the best players. But as far as a team in the clubhouse, on the field, pulling for each other, it was the best. That's why we were able to win.
A couple of guys could have got it. We all worked hard to do whatever we could to help this team win and guys came up with big hits in a lot of situations. And it's just special for me to be thought of as MVP.
It's going to be tough to pick the ball up in the first three or four innings.
It's been a long time since they've been in the World Series and won, ... And it means a lot, not only to us in the clubhouse but to the organization, to the fans, to the city, and it's just a great feeling. And we're just happy to be able to bring a championship to the city of Chicago, and it's really special.
It's the playoffs. You never know what's going to happen.
It means a lot not only to us in the clubhouse but to the organization, the fans, the city. It's a great feeling. We're just happy to be able to bring a championship to the city of Chicago. It's really special.
It means a lot. He's been to the dance before. Not in baseball, but he knows this feeling. His heart and soul is in baseball and he's told me many times he'd trade all his rings for a World Series championship. We're not only doing it for the players first in the clubhouse, but for Jerry and Kenny and everybody else.
