came definitely five game heat love root rooting sneak sports talk thursday within
I didn't like the way they came out the other night. I wanted them to come out like the Spurs, within the first five minutes, the game was over. I still think they are going to be all right. I'm kind of torn. I can't really talk about them too much here in Chicago. They love their sports out here. I have to root for the Heat silently around here. I'm definitely rooting for them, though. They play Thursday here, and we have an off-day. I'm going to see if I can sneak in there.
amazing dad definition game son teach throwing wants watch
It's just amazing what he does. He's not throwing 94, 93 (mph). He's pitching. It's the definition of a pitcher. If a son comes to a game with his dad and his dad wants to teach him about pitching, watch Greg Maddux, because that's an art.
ball both far games hitting pitchers playing sides winning year
It's just amazing. He's doing something this year I don't think a lot of pitchers have ever done as far as playing both sides of the ball, winning 21 games and hitting the ball the way he is.
game rhythm spring training work
It's just like hitting. I try to take one at-bat a game in spring training to bunt. You get into a rhythm with bunting, that's why I work on it.
beat confident couple game good handled home last win
They handled us the last couple of times. They're confident they can go out and beat us, and beat us here. If we go out and play a good game tomorrow, take that game and win the series, then it will be an all right little home stretch.
crucial effort fall forth game time tough wheels
Just to see the wheels fall off, it's a tough one to swallow, especially this time of year. This is one to think about. It's a crucial game and we put forth an effort like that.
causes evident game good guys intent offense start
This was only the first game, but this game it was evident that once you get guys on base, it causes havoc. It's not just me, it's anybody. That's my intent to start off the game, not necessarily with a triple, but to have a good at-bat and let the offense take it from there.
bring consistent everybody five game kids knows matter sees superstar tools
If he was 30 years old, I would still be impressed. He's just one of those kids who has that instinct. Everybody sees it and knows he is going to be special. It's just a matter of him being consistent and being able to bring those five tools to the game every night. And he can. He will be a superstar in the league.
believe luck people
I still don't think people believe in us. People want to think we're lucking it up on things. That's all right. We'll luck it up all the way through the World Series.

Everybody knows he's going to be special. It's just a matter of time.

We realize this was a bad loss tonight, and we've got to come out tomorrow ready to play,
ball move
We just didn't move the ball offensively, we just didn't get it done. We didn't get on base. We didn't really do anything today.

From the stands, it looked we had everything in hand. All of a sudden, a ball here and a ball there and the wheels fall off,
care fans help rather team unnoticed whether win
I don't care about that stuff. I'd rather go unnoticed anyway. As long as I help the team win and get to the World Series, that's all I need. Whether there's two fans there or 20,000 in the stands, I'm going to play the same.
