Ozzie Guillen Six Quotations

(If) I put McCarthy there, I have six guys with no experience in the playoffs in the bullpen and now a rookie to close the game. El Duque knows about the playoffs.

We talked about this all week and I felt like I let Duque down. I'm not trying to hurt my pitcher's feelings, but we had a plan before the game starts. Duque didn't throw the ball the way we like him to throw the ball. Most of the balls that got hit were hit hard. We thought he was going to give me four, five, six innings to get McCarthy ready to go. Our plans didn't work.

(Crede) can miss two days or he can miss six days.

Duque didn't throw the ball the way we like him to throw the ball. Most of the balls that got hit were hit hard. We thought he was going to give me four, five, six innings to get McCarthy ready to go. Our plans didn't work.

It was one lady and six guys sitting next to me, and we were just playing around all game. And (if) they take it the wrong way, that's fine. I know the last couple of days I slept pretty good about it because I don't have anything in my conscience to make me feel guilty about it.

If Nomo throws strikes, I believe he can still get people out. It's hard to make any decisions, or say anything, when you only see a guy for six or seven innings .

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.
