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.
best country great people player
It's amazing. I think he's the best player ever to come from my country. I know in my country people are going to feel great about this.
country criticize help
Well there is a thing I would say to the mayor. I would say I've been in this country for 25 years and I don't have American citizenship. He should help me do that. I'll criticize him because they don't give me American citizenship.
country news watch
I watch the news every day, and this is something like what my country (Venezuela) went through 10 years ago with the mudslides.
country goals highest known passed people soft spot white
In Venezuela, many people have a soft spot for the White Sox. So many Venezuelans have passed through there, ... Venezuelans also have always known one of my goals has been to put my country on the highest pedestal. Because of that, they're happy.

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.

We tried to get something done. I think he (Contreras) feels comfortable here and I don't think things are going to bother him. Jose is a tough man. He knows what he is doing, especially where he comes from.

We weren't dumb enough to trade Babe Ruth,

We have to compete against the world champions. We never did as a White Sox organization in the last 80 years or whatever it is, we never did anything to earn that respect.

We will sit down and talk and right now we're not in a six-man rotation, ... It's not easy, but it will be a real interesting talk. Maybe the guys want to pitch with five days' rest and not four and we can sneak him in and hopefully he can pitch the way he is.

We had the bases loaded and we should have won the game right there. The hitters got to be better in the stretch. It's not going to be easy.

We showed White Sox fans and everybody in baseball that we weren't happy with just what we did last year.

We got spoiled last year, the way they (threw). They will get better.
