Ozzie Guillen Knew Quotations

I always wanted to get off the field as quick as I could. It's easier for everybody and it's more fun. I played behind Maddux a little bit (in Atlanta in 1998-99) and you knew that on any pitch, the (hitter) was going to put the ball in play. You enjoy the game a little bit more when you have a pitcher like that.

He did a tremendous job. He knew how bad we needed it and he did it.

He knew he wasn't going to play for the Dominicans. He's not a Dominican. I hate hypocrites. He's full of (bleep).

We built this team around defense and pitching. I think our defense was one of the biggest reasons we won the World Series, no doubt about it. I knew we were going to play good defense all year long.

We knew it was just a matter of time. He had the arm. He just had to get the confidence.

After Contreras did that, I knew Freddy would come down and try to emulate him. He gave me the innings, too.

It took the Minnesota Twins to make me think we have to change. I knew they don't have any superstars, but they kept winning. When me and Kenny make the decision to change this team, we talked a lot because it was not easy. The only way we could build this team was around pitching and defense and speed.

I knew 100 percent, for sure. In Game 2, it was close. This play, anybody could see.

I loved that. You don't see that everyplace. That shows that they knew Cleveland had a great season.
