criticize jim matter money negative nobody says tear wants
The thing about Jim Thome is that no matter where you go in baseball, nobody ever says anything negative about him. When you make a lot of money in this game, everyone wants to criticize you and tear you down. But, you don't see that with Jim Thome.
boo clap class cleveland jim meant people players shaking
To me, it was kind of embarrassing. Even Cleveland players were shaking their heads. Cleveland people don't know how much Jim Thome meant to this town. You don't boo a class act. That's OK, we'll clap for him in Chicago.
booing class jim kid people played tip
Brutal. I think it's really disappointing. ... The way this kid played in this town, people should tip their caps. ... I thought it was kind of embarrassing. Booing Jim Thome ? you don't boo a class act.

I think its really disappointing. Jim Thome did a lot of good things for this town. It was kind of embarrassing. I was really surprised.
baseball fans game helps jim love negative people respects team treats
He helps us in the field. But he helps this team more in the clubhouse, in the hotels, in the bus, in the planes. You look around baseball and one of the people they don't say anything negative about is Jim Thome. They love the way he respects the game and treats his fans and teammates.
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.
bother feels knows tough tried
We tried to get something done. I think he (Contreras) feels comfortable here and I don't think things are going to bother him. Jose is a tough man. He knows what he is doing, especially where he comes from.
games played
We just play, ... We played 162 games with the same attitude.
babe dumb trade
We weren't dumb enough to trade Babe Ruth,
against compete earn last whatever white
We have to compete against the world champions. We never did as a White Sox organization in the last 80 years or whatever it is, we never did anything to earn that respect.
five four guys hopefully maybe pitch rest sit sneak talk
We will sit down and talk and right now we're not in a six-man rotation, ... It's not easy, but it will be a real interesting talk. Maybe the guys want to pitch with five days' rest and not four and we can sneak him in and hopefully he can pitch the way he is.
bases game hitters loaded won
We had the bases loaded and we should have won the game right there. The hitters got to be better in the stretch. It's not going to be easy.
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.
last spoiled
We got spoiled last year, the way they (threw). They will get better.
