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.
baseball everybody fans happy last white
We showed White Sox fans and everybody in baseball that we weren't happy with just what we did last year.
happy jackie latin lived man people puerto robinson
For me he is the Jackie Robinson of Latin baseball. He lived racism. He was a man who was happy to be not only Puerto Rican, but Latin American. He let people know that. And that is something that is very important for all of us.
happy player wants
Any player who wants to go to his funeral, I'm more than happy to let them go.
great happy people
He did a lot of great things for Seattle. People should be happy to see him pitch.
couple guys happy
If he's not here, we don't think about him. If he's here, great. We can see him, see how he is. I know a couple of the guys here would be really happy to see him.
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.
continue
We're going to continue to look around and see what happens.
build joe pitching team
We're going to build this team around pitching and defense, and Joe has been a big part of that.
knows ready
We have to get him ready so he knows how to prepare.
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.
count four gave guys nice walk
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.
