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.

We showed White Sox fans and everybody in baseball that we weren't happy with just what we did last year.

We got spoiled last year, the way they (threw). They will get better.
baseball bobby cox fire good guys last money night people retire taking yesterday
Bobby Cox called me last night and said, 'You'll never retire from baseball; make them retire you,' ... He called me like 4 yesterday and said: 'You're too good a baseball man; people like you. Make those guys fire you. Keep taking money away from them.'
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.
breathe brought guys last mistake pitching runs score staff year
We can score more runs this year than last year. That's why we brought those guys here. Last year, God, it was 2-1, 1-0, 3-2 every game. My pitching staff couldn't even breathe one minute. They can't even make one mistake because we'd lose.
brand carry football happened job last lost matter mean night players remind wait week whether won
Whether you won or lost the night before, it's a brand new game. It' s my job and my coaches' job to remind the players that no matter what happened last night, it doesn't mean anything today. This is not like football where you have to wait one week to recover. You just have to get up every day and fight. If you carry it over, you're a loser.

We need him to get back to the form he was last year. We know he can do that.

Last year, we took a lot of heat in Chicago because they always say,
groin healthy last pressure team year
Last year we put a lot of pressure on the opposing team because Pod was running. I think his groin is healthy and when he's healthy, we will run.
bat good guys happening hard last struggling swinging trying week
I feel that we have a better lineup than we're showing. But we have been really struggling the last week and a half. No one in our lineup is swinging the bat well right now. I think some of the guys are trying too hard and good things are just not happening for us right now.
approach believe game last past win
We've got to approach the game the same way. You win the World Series, that was last year. We've got to approach the game the same way we did in the past and not believe the hype.
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.
