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.
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.
He's one of a kind, ... I haven't seen too many guys go out there and throw 100 miles an hour with some cut on it. I faced him in a simulated game the other day and all I can say about it is, I'm glad he's on this team. He looks mean and he comes right at you like, 'Here it is, if you can hit it, hit it.'
We've got to continue to battle and not put pressure on ourselves.
We're going through a tough time right now. But a win is a win, and we'll take it.

Being a rookie, you don't know what to expect out of a World Series. You're just happy to be there. It's basically a lot of rah-rah, ... Now, I've had a lot of playoff experience with Oakland. This is my fifth time in the postseason. I'm just happy to get back and I hope to get a ring this time.
You can let the game come to you and we did that tonight. We haven't had one of these in a while. The offense showed up and Freddy went out there and did what he needed to.
Two good pitching staffs going at it. Hopefully it is a low-scoring game,
We had a guy at the plate that hadn't played in a while, so it's tough to expect him to go up there and get a hit.
We're trying to win series. You feed off everything, and we're all doing well. It's an all-around team effort.
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.
