Today is over. We won a game and yeah it was nice, but this game is about winning series and going from there. We look at it as a chance to win a series tomorrow.

I feel a little quicker.

Just say a prayer for me that it grows back,

The stories go on and on.

That was a start. But you can’t overlook what Joe did for four innings.

I said Dontrelle Willis before the game. I say Chris now. I faced Chris when he was in Toronto and I thought he was the best I’d ever seen then. He’s better now.

OK, but he’s really not a very good looking man.

I told Willie the only way I’d play today is if I catch.

My dad’s probably the most influential person in my life. He said, ‘You know, it’d be kind of cool to see your name in the Hall of Fame with that team.’ We decided let’s do...

Even when you strike out, you’re in the middle of controversy.

It’s good enough to go, not 100 percent, but good enough. I’ve been ready for a week pretty much.

He takes the city on his shoulders every time he goes out to pitch.

Hopefully, I’ll get a chance to tip my cap. People there treated me as a lot better player than I was. I think they get me. They understand me better than any other set of...

Even when you strike out, you cause problems.

As long as both of them stay healthy, there’s no reason why they can’t stay together their whole career.

Everyday people don’t understand what he did for everybody and anybody who wore a Twins jersey.

Corey beat me to the punch. I was going to take out the ad. The only thing I wish I could have done was tip my hat to the fans.

The Twins became too nice when they traded A.J.. We had an edge to the way we played with A.J. You could see it in the Twins this season. There was no edge to that...

I faced Chris when he was in Toronto. I thought he was the best I’d ever seen then. He’s better now.

I appreciate the fact I’m here. I’ve never been more excited than I am to play right now.

If that’s not the play of the year, I’ll protest.

I told him, ‘If you want to change the perception of yourself as a player, one team sticks out: the White Sox.’ I said, ‘No place were you hated more than in U.S. Cellular by...

His curveball’s ridiculous. Changeup, fastball, sinker. When you can throw four pitches for strikes, you’re going to be all right.

He was the ultimate big leaguer.

I had a very good week, … and it had nothing to do with the haircut.

I’m sick to my stomach about it, I told them that if they sent me down, I’m not coming back.

The bottom line is we got one breath left, … and we’re going to use it to the best of our ability.

That’s the way baseball is, … I wouldn’t say he’s off the radar screen. I’ve been on both ends of it. I’ve been the guy coming up pushing somebody from behind and I’ve been the...

It was the second time in my career that I’ve ever done it, been the DH. I asked Buddy if he was trying to get fired. He laughed.

There are teams we’ve beaten — with the teams I’ve been on — and they lose one tough game and they fold for the next four. You know that going in.

You don’t do it like in high school or college, where you try to rip on the other team. You try to be professional about it. You might be teammates with him two days from...

It was fine til I went and stretched before my first at-bat. I have my little routine I do on deck since I was probably 7 years old, and this time for some reason I...

I’ve got no clothes, … I thought I was coming to St. Lucie for two days. And then [Saturday] our cat went to the bathroom in my suitcase.

If I got it right out of my glove, we get him at home.

It was funny when I heard him say in an interview the other day, ‘I’m used to being Public Enemy No. 1,’

The first time through that order, you saw some really bad swings.

I don’t want to sit at all, but then again I don’t want to strap my manager. He’s trying to win games.

You can’t question. You keep going until you’re mathematically done. Stranger things have happened. We’ve run into some pretty good arms in the last week though.

You have a game plan, attack the game plan and keep going. Don’t get caught up in the names on the back of the jersey, so to speak.

It’s been blown way out of proportion.

This team’s been through a lot. We’re definitely not going to stop. We’re not going to fold.

He looks like a beer-bellied, softball-playing first baseman. But I’ll tell you, the kid can hit.

I wasn’t trying to bunt it, that’s for sure.

Ridiculous. His curveball is ridiculous. Changeup. Sinker. When you throw four pitches for strikes you’re going to be dirty.

We’ve been digging out of holes from day one. We had as tough a loss as you can have the first game of the season.

Whatever he wants, whatever he needs.
