Ozzie Guillen Against Quotations

Freddy was not on today. He got behind in counts and when your not on against the Indians you will be hit.

He was my teammate, and he don't do anything to me. Frank is Frank. I wish him the best, there's no doubt about it. I don't have anything against Frank. If I have anything against Frank, I will let him know.

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.

I wear it every day because I like the colors, ... If you've noticed, we're always playing against red. We played against Cleveland, then we played against Boston, then we played against the Angels . That's all red. That's why I'm wearing red. The National League teams are a couple of reds, too. That's why I wear it.

I said earlier in the day that when we score first, we have a chance. But when you play against that team, if you're up by 6 runs your heart is still pumping.

We don't have anything against Frank. I don't think anybody should. Frank never did anything bad for us.

We are playing against the best. They are the champions and they know how to play in the playoffs. We didn't face them during the season when we were pitching well. Now, we are. That's a difference.

Uribe can't hit a guy who throws junk. And then he hits a triple against the toughest pitcher in baseball.

We cannot relax. We have to fight all the way to the end. We have (six) games against Cleveland at the end of the season. It's not over until it's over.

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.

We didn't pitch well. He left a couple pitches hanging against a pretty good ball club. The effort overall wasn't there to win the game.

Everybody is chasing us, everybody wants to play good against us. No doubt about it. We have to take the same approach as we have in the past. We have to play the game the way we've always played the game. Don't believe the hype. You have to go there and play the game and not worry about what people think.

The rivalry between the Cubs and the White Sox, as soon as you take the field, you try to play better against them. I know this is a big deal for Chicago fans.

That's why I think it was the difference facing those guys every day. And my team's got to battle against those people. It was not easy.

That's important for every manager. You play good against your division, you have a better chance to have a better year.

It was a weird game for him. He always throws strikes and he's always around the plate. He just had a bad outing against the wrong people. They will take advantage of your mistakes.

I took a couple of peeks up there. Nothing against Kansas City or Tampa Bay, but the way they are playing right now and from what I saw when they left here, I doubt they will lose another game. I don't expect Tampa Bay to do it. I think the best team to do it now is us.

I look at the scoreboard and it says this guy (Thome) hit more home runs against the White Sox than anybody. He's got 18 in this ballpark. Hopefully, he'll hit another 60. I know if this kid stays healthy, he's going to do some damage in Chicago.

He's right. I took the first punch. I'll take 100 punches against me. He's right to take a shot. He's got to protect his players.

I don't want to say anything bad about Vlad because I don't want to wake him up. I think our pitching staff is doing a tremendous job all year long against him.

He pitched well against the Twins (in his second-to-last start), and his innings pitched are about the same as in the past.
