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.
carry good
I want Vazquez to be Vazquez. I want him to show up. He's a good pitcher. He does not have to come here and carry the team. He just has to do what he has done in the past.
ball bottom consistent field good hit hitters kid middle pull swinging trying wish
I think he's swinging at better pitches. He's not trying to pull everything. He's trying to hit the ball into the middle of the field and right field. We wish this kid would be more consistent with that. When this kid is on, he's on for good and we need those hitters at the bottom of the lineup.
doors good jackie opened robinson
I think Jackie Robinson made us a lot of money. He opened doors for a lot of good things in baseball.
ball good people pitching staff throwing
I thought I would see better pitching performances because our pitching staff is pretty good and so is theirs, ... Right now, they're not throwing the ball the way people thought.
baseball believing doubting good happy people playing
I'm so happy for these kids. A lot of people started doubting us. Even we started doubting us. But then we started believing again, started playing good baseball again, and I like the way we're playing going into the playoffs.
buddies good happy
I'm happy for him. He's one of my buddies from the Marlins, and it's good to see him back.
air blame fault good loses maybe might scare scaring stuff sudden surprise
I might be scaring him. Maybe it's my fault to go there and air him out. I might take the blame because all of a sudden I went out to air him out and said not good stuff to him. I might surprise him and scare him and all of a sudden he loses what he has. It's maybe my fault to do what I did.
clutch good last pitching
That's the way we play, good defense, good pitching and get clutch hitting. That's what we did last season.
built couple four good pitching score weeks
I said a couple weeks ago that if we score four runs, we should win. That's the way we built our team. We have a good pitching staff. That's our game, pitching and defense.
attention deal enjoyed good road
We enjoyed it; we had a good time. But it's kind of like we had to give a little attention to everyone. Now we're on a road trip, and we don't have to deal with all this stuff. Hopefully, we'll play better.
gave good great hit home runs team three
We had great players, but we were not a great team (in 2004). We hit more home runs than anybody, but we gave up more home runs than anybody. We could not play defense, we could not pitch, we could not execute. You don't do those three things in baseball, good luck.
bullpen good great pitching series starting winning
We're winning because our starting pitching has been great and our bullpen has done a good job. To win the series was really important to us.
good head people players ready sleep tomorrow
We'll let people know when we play bad, and I'll let my players know when they play good. I think my players should go to sleep good today, keep his head up and be ready tomorrow to play.
