games louis people piece team treat white won
I see St. Louis has 95 (wins). The White Sox 90. And we feel like we won only 10 games this year, ... Some people treat my team like a piece of (garbage). And we're not.
games lost
We really lost two games where we didn't have a chance.
everybody games guy players
We have a lot of games to go and not that many players in camp. Everybody will get a legit chance. The guy who can pinch-hit and play once in a while, he will take the job.
cleveland control games playing winning worry
We can't control (what Cleveland does). They are playing so well. We just have to worry about winning our own games. You know they are going to win the way they are playing now. But we just have to worry about how we'll play and win as many games as we can.
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.
faith games win
I have a lot of faith in my bullpen, ... We win a lot of games because of them.
booing doubts fun games lead obviously people release second takes win
I feel proud. It's not like I'm criticizing the people that were booing because when you go from a 15-game lead to one or two, obviously they do it. But when you win that many games and people keep criticizing and criticizing, second doubts and second guessing, it takes the fun away from the people. To me this is a release and a satisfaction.
against cannot cleveland fight games until
We cannot relax. We have to fight all the way to the end. We have (six) games against Cleveland at the end of the season. It's not over until it's over.
defense games last mind pitching strong win
To me, our pitching and our defense weren't strong enough (in '04). Now we can win games 3-2 with a squeeze. Last year, it never went through my mind to squeeze.

games lost runs score series win
It's not how many runs you score in one game, it is how many games you win in a series and we lost the series.
games last toughest win
I told my players, the last 11 games we have to win are the toughest ones.
best doubt games mirror nine pitching runs score staff
When you score nine runs, these are games you have to win, no doubt about it. When your best thing is the pitching staff and you score nine runs for the pitching staff we've had all year, no way we should have lost. We have to look in the mirror and pitch better.
