The fans in Chicago waited so long with so much patience and were still there for us, rooting for us for I don't know how many years. Good thing we did it.

I'm going to try to bring the World Series trophy so that my country may enjoy what the people of the U.S. enjoy, ... It's the first time the World Series trophy is going to leave the United States.
bat chance drop gave great hands himself hit home last man twice
I'm not going to take the bat out of his hands like I did last year. He gave himself up once or twice a game, and that's why I want to drop him down in the lineup. He is a great RBI man and this will give him a chance to hit more home runs.
change respect struggling
I'm not going to change him because he's struggling right now. The way you are, I respect that.
ball club feels second spot supposed
If Uribe feels comfortable and does what he is supposed to do in the second spot in the lineup, I think our ball club will be better offensively.

If you get this far, you get this far by pitching. I think the fans are going to see one of the best pitching performances in a long time. There's going to be eight guys (starters) that are going to be fun to watch.

If you get behind hitters, you won't survive in this game.

If you're going to win this game, you got to make things happen.
afraid beers couple face lost pennant team
If you're afraid to be in a pennant race, you'll never be in a pennant race, ... If you're afraid, you won't face the media, you don't play cards, you don't have a couple of beers after the game. There was a lot of controversy the other day when I said that our team stinks. We had lost two in a row. If you play good, I'll let you know. If you play bad, I will let you know.
baseball best
If you're a baseball fan, that's one of the best ones you'll ever see.

If you ask me, Jermaine set the tone for us before he even put a uniform on.
keeps leave win
If you leave that many on base, you aren't going to win many games. It keeps happening, and I don't know why. We had opportunities, and didn't take them.
