alex fine finish time wants whatever
That's the first time I feel like I did something wrong. I've been in a lot of controversial things before, but I think I started this one and I'm going to finish it. What I did to Alex was wrong. He can do whatever he wants. If he wants to play for Japan, fine for him.
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.
alex fine wants whatever
What I did to Alex was wrong. He can do whatever he wants. If he wants to play for Japan, fine for him.
continue happened page past ruin strong talked turn whatever
I talked to him as a friend, talked to him like his father, ... I said: 'You continue to do this, you're going to ruin your life. Whatever happened in the past is over. You are strong enough to turn this page on the past.'
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.
chicago fans good happened patience waited whatever
A good thing happened to us. I think being here for so many years and the fans in Chicago waited so long and had so much patience and are still there for us ... I don't know how many years, 80 or whatever it is ... good thing we did it.
guys hits hitting nine nobody sudden three time tonight walk
When we were really struggling, you didn't see guys get two hits in a game. Any time someone got one hit, one walk -- nobody could put it together. Tonight when we were hitting the ball, one guy got three hits, one had two RBIs, one had two hits, all of a sudden you don't need nine guys to get a hit -- just two or three to get a hit at the right time.
continue
We're going to continue to look around and see what happens.

We're going to build this team around pitching and defense, and Joe has been a big part of that.

We have to get him ready so he knows how to prepare.
best doubt games mirror nine pitching runs score staff
When you score nine runs, these are games you have to win, no doubt about it. When your best thing is the pitching staff and you score nine runs for the pitching staff we've had all year, no way we should have lost. We have to look in the mirror and pitch better.
cocky last rub year
When you're world champions, you (can) be cocky or try to rub it in their face. It's nice. You have the ring, you have the trophy. I always said last year, 'We're not that good.' This year it's the same way.
count four gave guys nice walk
When he gave me that answer, it was just walk away and let him pitch. I think it's nice when you have four guys you can count on.
almost career spend
We're in Chicago. When you spend almost your whole career here, you know what to expect.
