couple guys needed
Why is the lineup this way? ... Because I'm the manager. I wanted it that way. A couple of guys needed rest.
best needed pitcher
He's been our best pitcher down the stretch. He has it all, the arm, the pitches, the control. All he needed was the confidence.
game league major means needed
Right when we needed it. This was a big game for the team. I don't know what it means to him, his first major league win, but for the team, that's a big win, huge.
bad knew needed tremendous
He did a tremendous job. He knew how bad we needed it and he did it.
anyone believing confidence doubts game mind needed puts struggle swing
He needed that more than anyone else for his confidence. This game is about confidence and believing in yourself. You're always going to struggle in this game, and when you swing better and don't get results, it puts doubts in your mind and that kills you.
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.
quickly
We're going to use him as quickly as we can.
