Todd Walker Quotations

I just have to make it tough on them.

But lately it's been good, then you start thinking it's been unfortunate we didn't have him all year.

As long as I'm doing what I'm supposed to do, which is catch the balls I'm supposed to catch, then I'm happy.

I'm going to try that during the year, too.

I don't think it's a seller's market. I think you wait to see how the rest of this month goes. You cruise into September and you have a better idea. You don't go off selling people now or you are quitting right now. Now is not the time.

If I'm on the bench and somebody else is playing, I'm going to be pulling for him. I'm not going to be talking bad about anybody.

If I were to get traded tomorrow, I think the team is responsible for my rent in Chicago for six months. That's why I tried to get the rent as high as possible, so if that happened they would have to think twice about it.

I love it here. I really got to see a different side of it yesterday. Going to the hospital and watching on TV, you see the other stuff that goes into the games. It made me realize why I love the Cubs as much as I do and why I want to play here.

That's why I love playing here. You work so hard to get to (the World Series) and if, in fact, it comes about, there's only a few cities that really, truly genuinely appreciate that. There's only a few teams that I want to win a World Series with. Boston was one, and Chicago is another.

We don't have the luxury of feeling sorry for ourselves. We have to play 120 percent, which is what we do every single game. In this business, you have to keep rolling. Nobody feels sorry for you.
