people talk win
People talk about the big lead. I never said we were going to win this thing by 20 games,
against ball couple effort good hanging left overall pitch pitches win
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.
chicago contract hopefully knows left needs winner year
El Duque has a year left on his contract with Chicago and hopefully in that year we can make the most of him because he's a winner and knows what he needs to do on the mound.
clean given good house kenny matter series shot williams win
Sometimes when you win the World Series you clean the house and get a new team. It's not easy, no matter what you do. (General manager) Kenny Williams has given us a good shot to repeat.
forget win
Don't forget what we did to win the game. I don't want to concentrate on the calls.
almost game happened people played playoffs regular talked win wire year
You get to the playoffs you got to win 11 games. In the regular season, you win 99 and go to the wire and almost lose. The way we played all year long it was like a playoff game every day. ... I talked to the guys. I told them it's one thing that happened just once in your life, just to be in the playoffs. Some people play a lot of years in this game and never have this opportunity.
bullpen good great pitching series starting winning
We're winning because our starting pitching has been great and our bullpen has done a good job. To win the series was really important to us.
comment embarrass leave leaving win
My comment was if we win (the World Series), I will think about leaving because I want to leave as a winner. I don't want to embarrass myself.
cleveland control games playing winning worry
We can't control (what Cleveland does). They are playing so well. We just have to worry about winning our own games. You know they are going to win the way they are playing now. But we just have to worry about how we'll play and win as many games as we can.
expect guys win
I expect to win when these guys pitch.
advice averages cannot close confident continue early games hard law pick pull together ways winning year
No -- I could get some advice from him this year ... Advice isn't going to help. You cannot pick when things go right and things go wrong. You have to look at the law of averages where they were winning games early in the year, too. It's hard to continue to win in that many different ways and that many close games. I'm confident they'll get it together and pull it together.
faith games win
I have a lot of faith in my bullpen, ... We win a lot of games because of them.
hate series seven win
I hate Wrigley Field. We'd have to win seven World Series in a row.
booing doubts fun games lead obviously people release second takes win
I feel proud. It's not like I'm criticizing the people that were booing because when you go from a 15-game lead to one or two, obviously they do it. But when you win that many games and people keep criticizing and criticizing, second doubts and second guessing, it takes the fun away from the people. To me this is a release and a satisfaction.
