clean given good house kenny matter series shot williams win
Sometimes when you win the World Series you clean the house and get a new team. It's not easy, no matter what you do. (General manager) Kenny Williams has given us a good shot to repeat.
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.
hate series seven win
I hate Wrigley Field. We'd have to win seven World Series in a row.
games lost runs score series win
It's not how many runs you score in one game, it is how many games you win in a series and we lost the series.
against attractive forget good last people series supposed teams time weird
I think it's going to be a real attractive and weird World Series because you've got two teams that aren't supposed to be there. You're not going to see the big-name franchises. Nothing against them. I think it's just good for baseball, these two franchises that have never been there -- one the first time ever, the other people forget when was the last time.
played series
I think this series should be the most important series we've played all year.
bring country enjoy leave people series time trophy united
I'm going to try to bring the World Series trophy so that my country may enjoy what the people of the U.S. enjoy, ... It's the first time the World Series trophy is going to leave the United States.
bring chicago series trophy
In Chicago they're thanking me for a championship; here they're thanking me for making them happy. For that reason, I had to bring the World Series trophy to Venezuela,
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.
