brand carry football happened job last lost matter mean night players remind wait week whether won
Whether you won or lost the night before, it's a brand new game. It' s my job and my coaches' job to remind the players that no matter what happened last night, it doesn't mean anything today. This is not like football where you have to wait one week to recover. You just have to get up every day and fight. If you carry it over, you're a loser.
depends hope innings nine throws
It all depends on how El Duque throws. I hope he throws nine innings of shutout today. If something happens, we have to be prepared.
bat depends move protect swing swings whoever wiggle
It depends on how they swing the bat. Whoever swings the bat better will move up. I can wiggle and play with my lineup. If A.J. swings well, I want A.J. to protect Dye. If not, I want Iguchi to do it.

buddies good happy
I'm happy for him. He's one of my buddies from the Marlins, and it's good to see him back.
air blame fault good loses maybe might scare scaring stuff sudden surprise
I might be scaring him. Maybe it's my fault to go there and air him out. I might take the blame because all of a sudden I went out to air him out and said not good stuff to him. I might surprise him and scare him and all of a sudden he loses what he has. It's maybe my fault to do what I did.
bring emotion
I'm here because I wanted to do this, bring emotion to Chicago,
