ball balls hit innings mccarthy plans ready six throw
Duque didn't throw the ball the way we like him to throw the ball. Most of the balls that got hit were hit hard. We thought he was going to give me four, five, six innings to get McCarthy ready to go. Our plans didn't work.
days miss six
(Crede) can miss two days or he can miss six days.
bullpen close experience guys knows mccarthy playoffs rookie six
(If) I put McCarthy there, I have six guys with no experience in the playoffs in the bullpen and now a rookie to close the game. El Duque knows about the playoffs.
conscience couple days good guilty guys lady last next playing sitting six slept wrong
It was one lady and six guys sitting next to me, and we were just playing around all game. And (if) they take it the wrong way, that's fine. I know the last couple of days I slept pretty good about it because I don't have anything in my conscience to make me feel guilty about it.
hitter hopefully second seventh sixth somebody spot
Hopefully we can get somebody who can run. I want a second hitter so we can put Iguchi down in the sixth or seventh spot to get more (run production) out of him.
ball balls felt game hit hurt innings mccarthy plan plans ready six talked throw trying week
We talked about this all week and I felt like I let Duque down. I'm not trying to hurt my pitcher's feelings, but we had a plan before the game starts. Duque didn't throw the ball the way we like him to throw the ball. Most of the balls that got hit were hit hard. We thought he was going to give me four, five, six innings to get McCarthy ready to go. Our plans didn't work.
believe guy hard innings people seven six throws
If Nomo throws strikes, I believe he can still get people out. It's hard to make any decisions, or say anything, when you only see a guy for six or seven innings .
balls great hit home middle name plate six throw top wants whatever
If he wants to get it done, I'll throw six balls right down the middle of the plate and let him hit six home runs, and let him do whatever he wants to do. He'll get it. I think it would be great for baseball, great for the game, because now we put another name on top of those names.
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.
