I congratulate the Chicago White Sox. They had a phenomenal year. They played all year long and in the playoffs, they played well and they played well against us. They deserve to be called World Champions.

I congratulate the Chicago White Sox, they had a phenomenal year, ... My hat's off to them. They deserve to be called the world champions this year.
came couple learned pitch took wants watched whatever
I came to a couple of the games, watched him pitch and he pitched great. I took over (as manager) and he pitched great. I learned that whatever it is he wants to do, he's going to do it.
answer best event love move possible today
I'd love to have an answer today that he would come back. In the event that that's not going to happen, this is the best possible scenario, to move forward.
ball behind far gives good job letting nice receives
I'm going to take a good look at him on that. He receives the ball nicely. He's gives a nice target. He's down, he's not jumpy behind the plate. He does a good job as far as just letting the ball come to him.
game played proud ticked win
I'm proud of these guys, we played hard, ... I'm disappointed and I'm ticked off that we didn't win a game in this World Series, but I'm proud of our players.
came felt man tonight
I lied, ... Let's just say I felt like he was the man to go to tonight and he came through for us.
game learned line
I learned that there are some who can play when the game is on the line and some who can't.
ball field foolish given goes manager maybe players terms
In terms of the way I played, I was aggressive, foolish at times, maybe the same way as a manager sometimes. But it doesn't really matter. It's what goes on on the field at any given minute, the players have the ball in their hands.
exactly mention names people
If you mention the names of Qualls and Wheeler and Springer, it doesn't exactly make people shudder, and most people don't know who they are.

brought guess somebody today win
I guess somebody brought it up today -- if you don't win today's game, it's probably over.
ball decent fastball gets location outcome pitches plate sharp showing swayed throw
I'm necessarily swayed by the outcome more than by what he does with his pitches. If he's showing pretty decent location with his ball and he's able to throw his pitches over the plate and use something other than his fastball when he gets behind, that will be good. He was sharp today, he went right after hitters.
andy bit figure five fortunate games knew roger rotten season
I knew we weren't a 15-under-.500 team. When the season started, I thought we were probably five games over .500. Then, if we got a little bit lucky, I thought we could be 10 games over. I think we're fortunate to be 14 over .500 because we didn't figure on Andy Pettitte (17-9, 2.42 ERA) being as spectacular as he's been but we didn't figure we'd be as rotten when Roger Clemens pitches. Go figure.
