against games happy proud win
Congratulations, I'm proud of you and really happy for you . . . just don't win any games against us,
baseball best deserved games happy last series team whether win won year
The Sox were the best team in baseball and they deserved to win -- I'm happy for them. But whether the Sox won the World Series or not, we won 79 games last year and that's not acceptable.
game guy met smartest
He's still just a winner. He's probably the smartest guy I've ever met in the game.
games guy plays taking twice
When you have a guy that plays 162 games every year, it makes that guy two stools down think twice about taking a day off.
above affect approaches bank character game goes price puts security winning
He won't be changed, the way he approaches the game and his teammates. He has too much character to let long-term security affect the way he goes about his business. He puts the price of winning above the price of his own bank account.
bench both four game gets good job quality spots third veteran
He's a veteran presence, a quality bench player. He can play four spots -- first, third and both corners. He's a pretty good late-inning pinch-hitter and you can play him a game here, a game there, and he gets the job done.

We think he (Rothschild) is one of the most respected pitching coaches in the game and he has two World Series rings to show for that.

arm best continue feeling felt honesty hurt opposed talked
In all honesty, he did not want to have the procedure. He was opposed to it at first. As long as it didn't hurt to pitch, he wanted to continue because his arm is feeling so well. After I talked to the doctors, we felt it's best to do it now.
great
It?s something that I don?t take lightly. It?s a great, great franchise.
school
I'm not despondent. I come from the school of, what can you do about it?
gives hoping
I'm hoping it gives us a jolt. It's time, we have a lot to do.
good major people pitching starting tougher
It's tougher than people think to find good starting pitching in the major leagues.
good hopefully works
We just thought it was a good gamble. Hopefully it works out.
