people waiting
I was so excited. So many people were waiting for this moment.
believe expect game
Carl is a veteran. We know what to expect from him. When you play this game long enough and believe in your players, you can't give up that easily.
booing class jim kid people played tip
Brutal. I think it's really disappointing. ... The way this kid played in this town, people should tip their caps. ... I thought it was kind of embarrassing. Booing Jim Thome ? you don't boo a class act.
cannot forget heart people
But don't forget this is business. In this business, you cannot think with your heart. You have to think with your brains. Usually when you think with your brains, a lot of people are going to be disappointed. You think with your heart in this business, you're not going to have success.
believe change guy guys stick
I'm a guy that doesn't like to change lineups. I believe in the players, I believe those guys got me here, and I'd like to stick with the same people.
faith games win
I have a lot of faith in my bullpen, ... We win a lot of games because of them.
disabled late rule
I have a rule on my team. If you are late and not on the disabled list, you won't be on my team.
country feeling good great together white
My country, we're not together and we are now and just because the White Sox win. It's a great feeling to be part of that. It's a great feeling to know you do something good for your country - because I know how they feel.
guys hit hitting home wait
Now, we don't have to wait for Thome to hit home runs. Other guys are hitting them for him now.
good guy talking
Nobody's talking about him, but he's a guy who's had a good start, too.
advice averages cannot close confident continue early games hard law pick pull together ways winning year
No -- I could get some advice from him this year ... Advice isn't going to help. You cannot pick when things go right and things go wrong. You have to look at the law of averages where they were winning games early in the year, too. It's hard to continue to win in that many different ways and that many close games. I'm confident they'll get it together and pull it together.
early
Right now, it's too early to make a call.
count people replace
Right now I can't count on him. We're going to see what happens, but right now we'll look for people to replace him.
couple job next quick supposed talk throw tremendous
Right now he does. All I want to see him do is throw strikes. He was supposed to go in for one inning and it was so quick he had another shot. And he did a tremendous job and right now, he's going to be the talk of the next couple of days.
