amazing appreciate ballpark baseball bring chicago city earned empty fans feeling fun good guys half media missing nice people players stomach turned
We appreciate the way the fans have turned out this year. But you have an empty feeling in your stomach when you come out and see half of the ballpark empty. The players earned the people to be watching. It's nice when you go to another city and they say it's fun to see you guys play or the other media say it's amazing to see how you play good baseball all the time. And then you come to Chicago and you feel like you are missing something. You feel like we've done what we have to do to bring people to the ballpark.

The only thing I see, I just put my head down to the right and he was running to the base. All of a sudden I see A.J. running and I'm confused, I don't know what's going on. When someone said the ball hit the dirt and then I saw him running and that's it.

ball garland good home pay run runs three threw
When you have opportunities and you don't take advantage, you're going to pay for it. I think it was a pretty good ballgame. Garland threw the ball pretty good, Cotts and Politte threw the ball real good. It was just a home run in that inning. Three home runs killed us.
approach believe game last past win
We've got to approach the game the same way. You win the World Series, that was last year. We've got to approach the game the same way we did in the past and not believe the hype.
ballpark happening players
There has been a lot of pressure, but every day, I've come to the ballpark with the same enthusiasm, the same face, the same attitude, ... If I don't, the players will look and me and say, 'Uh-oh, what's happening here?'

When I say my team stinks and doesn't play the way it can play, I don't want to hear it from anybody else because they can hear it from me.
