His defense made up for his hitting early in the season, ... We built this team on pitching and defense and Joe is a big part of that. Joe had some big clutch hits this season. He always brings his defense with him to the ball field.

I look at the scoreboard and it says this guy (Thome) hit more home runs against the White Sox than anybody. He's got 18 in this ballpark. Hopefully, he'll hit another 60. I know if this kid stays healthy, he's going to do some damage in Chicago.
beat everybody garland good guys handle rest seems stuff team
I know he has good enough stuff to beat any team in the league. It's proven. Garland is different than the rest of the guys because when he doesn't perform, it seems like he doesn't care. Everybody has a different way to handle himself.

In this game, if you perform well, people don't care (if you are heavy). But if you don't perform, they'll blame (the weight).

I just had a meeting and I told everybody I feel proud of my team. I feel proud because they went out and did everything they could do to win this game. We had a chance to win it even with the guys all over the place out of position. I could not be more pleased the way my team reacted.

I have to respect the other manager of the other team, and when your job is manager, I let the guys enjoy themselves and celebrate with the winning.
again best forget frank gives good hitters jim last miss paper start team worried
I really like our team right now. Frank was Frank, and we're going to miss him, but Jim Thome is one of the best hitters in baseball. He's healthy, so we're not worried about last year. It gives us a better team on paper than we had last year, but we're not worried about paper. We have to start over, forget all about 2005, and do the same things again that made us a good team last year.

If not then he'll have to wait until Monday.
believe guy hard innings people seven six throws
If Nomo throws strikes, I believe he can still get people out. It's hard to make any decisions, or say anything, when you only see a guy for six or seven innings .

If Marte's not ready to help this team, he can have a nice trip to the Dominican Republic by himself.
