arm chance coming gives good happened innings jon kid league misses opportunity pulled seven sudden took trust
Before I got the job, Jon never had the opportunity to go more than six, seven innings. They always pulled him out, and all of a sudden I give him the chance and he took advantage. I think this kid's arm is there. This kid gives 200 innings every year, he never misses a start. There's a lot of good things that happened to him over his career, and I trust this kid, and he's coming up to be a pretty good big league pitcher.
alex chance gives good throwing
Everyone was concerned, because I was only throwing 85, but it was good today. It gives me a chance to keep Alex sharp.
chance early everybody game gives kid knows played playing team type
He gives the team a chance to refuel, to get back to playing the way we played early in the season, ... Everybody knows how important this kid is for us, for the type of game we play.
again best forget frank gives good hitters jim last miss paper start team worried
I really like our team right now. Frank was Frank, and we're going to miss him, but Jim Thome is one of the best hitters in baseball. He's healthy, so we're not worried about last year. It gives us a better team on paper than we had last year, but we're not worried about paper. We have to start over, forget all about 2005, and do the same things again that made us a good team last year.
anderson game gives opportunity
Anderson having a game like this gives me an opportunity to give (Aaron) Rowland another day off.
guys hits hitting nine nobody sudden three time tonight walk
When we were really struggling, you didn't see guys get two hits in a game. Any time someone got one hit, one walk -- nobody could put it together. Tonight when we were hitting the ball, one guy got three hits, one had two RBIs, one had two hits, all of a sudden you don't need nine guys to get a hit -- just two or three to get a hit at the right time.

We're going to continue to look around and see what happens.

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.
cocky last rub year
When you're world champions, you (can) be cocky or try to rub it in their face. It's nice. You have the ring, you have the trophy. I always said last year, 'We're not that good.' This year it's the same way.

When he gave me that answer, it was just walk away and let him pitch. I think it's nice when you have four guys you can count on.

We're in Chicago. When you spend almost your whole career here, you know what to expect.
