drag grand ideas kenny players sit trying
I think what Kenny was trying to say was that Boras has some grand ideas about what his players should be making, and it's going to drag out a long time. And we're not going to sit around and wait.
both business chicago hating league national ought people root team time understand
I think it's time for the people in Chicago to understand that there's an American League team and a National League team, and we ought to root for both of those teams. We're Chicago fans. This business of hating the other team is ridiculous.
awful bulls career celebrity chicago elvis face finals michael nba seen series since sports team ultimate wait winning
It always was big when we were in the NBA Finals because we had an Elvis Presley-caliber celebrity on our team in Michael Jordan. But the World Series is much bigger. I've never seen Chicago this excited. Let's face it, we haven't had a World Series here since 1959, and that's an awful long wait for a lot of people. Winning all those championships with the Bulls was great, but it would be the ultimate of my sports career if we win a world championship.
country faces fresh good hudson west
There is a part of the country west of the Hudson River. I would think having fresh faces in the postseason is a good thing.

He used to take off for a week and then come back. He was broadcasting games on the radio. He really resurrected the sport.
bold credit gets good job last moves quite series several work
He gets a lot of credit for the World Series team, but I thought he also did a good job the last several seasons. He made some bold moves that didn't quite work out, but they were the right moves.
knows
What I like so much about Dennis is that he knows all the scuttlebutt that's going on around our sport.

My wife design the rings. I would say I like them anyway.
believe fans great large segment team white
I think a large segment of White Sox fans believe that they don't get enough attention, that their team doesn't get enough attention, for them. I think that has got to be a great satisfaction.
instant last maybe red won
The instant the Red Sox won last year, I thought maybe we're next.
graduation high school top unlike
I'll tell you this much, it can be worn. Unlike many of the championship rings, this does not look like a high school graduation ring. It doesn't have any writing on the top of it.
chapter far filing michael seen
I haven't seen any of it. As far as I know, Michael is not filing for Chapter 11.
player sports wore
I only had one player in my 33 years of sports that couldn't be traded. He wore No. 23 - and 45 when he played baseball.
breaks everybody line order ordinary series sorts stars win yankees
In order for a team, an ordinary team, to win the World Series -- by ordinary team, that's everybody other than the Yankees -- all sorts of things have to happen, the stars really have to line up in the right order. You have to have a lot of breaks, and we got them. I can think of a zillion breaks that we got in the postseason.
