Obviously we’ve got to keep monitoring him and his playing time and how we are going to use him. I think this will be better for him because most of the time we are going...

You don’t win games in the paper. You don’t win games running your mouth. You go out there and perform and do the best you can and see what happens. The comments [the Indians] made,...

This kid is going to carry us for a while. This is going to be a fun summer.

I told the guys to get a haircut and put it on eBay — there might be some money from it. People are so stupid now, they buy stuff that’s stupid.

Seattle fouled off a lot of pitches; they were fighting. They were making Vazquez throw strikes and fight for every at-bat. That’s why his pitch count was so high.

No doubt about it. They’ll bring out a lot of fans. [Owner] Arte Moreno did a good job bringing back the fans. They’ll be ready for the rivalry, but we’re prepared for that.

Last year, we took a lot of heat in Chicago. Before I got the job, Jon never had the opportunity to go more than six, seven innings. They always pulled him out.

Hey, I’m fine. I’m not playing.

We talked about this all week and I felt like I let Duque down,

When you’re going to face the Cleveland Indians, you’ve got to bring your ace game. Freddy was not on. You face that type of lineup, you get behind, you will get hit.

I think that’s the best I’ve seen him throw all year long,

Thank God the circus will be over then, and we can play baseball.

Hopefully, I do this long enough where I don’t get tired or be boring. Well, I’m never going to be boring.

I think they wanted to kill me, … I don’t think they want to celebrate with me.

When I say my team stinks and doesn’t play the way it can play, I don’t want to hear it from anybody else because they can hear it from me.

We just had a lot of patience with him. He’d take a lot of heat and we’d take a lot of heat. Thank God we stayed with him.

I think it’s great because we proved a lot of people wrong, and I like that.

Enjoy it. Enjoy it. Have a great time, … Don’t get too crazy in the street. Be careful. I know people are going wild right now. … Feel proud about this team. Feel proud about...

The Indians gave us a lot of trouble. It’s amazing the way they played. But they didn’t beat themselves, we played better.

I know you’re going to choke.

We can play without him. We did it before.

Too many girls. You know why? … Because they can’t be in the clubhouse. The boys can.

A lot of teams are going through this,

People thought I was going to be jumping around my players. I have to respect the opposite team. It went through my mind to say, ‘I’m so glad to see my boys, my players jumping...

That’s something that hopefully won’t happen again. If we’re going to face [the Angels] in the playoffs, if we get that opportunity, I’ll take my chances.

My country, we’re not together and we are now and just because the White Sox win. It’s a great feeling to be part of that. It’s a great feeling to know you do something good...

In his first few outings, [Lopez] has made an impression. He’s the front-runner right now, and he’s the best lefty so far. He has to continue doing that.

He convinced me he was ready to go. We need this kid. … Especially with the two teams we might play, New York or Anaheim, we need two lefties (in the bullpen).

That’s OK. We’ll see who owns the town now. Dusty, I don’t like what he said. I thought we were friends.

Besides getting the ring, [Thome] was the only good thing we had all day. I think this kid is going to carry this team for a little while.

McCarthy seems to be the key right now. This kid is doing a tremendous job out of the bullpen. I thought about [keeping him in]. The way he’s throwing the ball, I thought about it....

Everyone has to get thrown under the bus every so often.

He kept the game close and gave us the chance to win.

Hopefully, we sneak up and bite them. But we haven’t done anything yet. We haven’t earned that spotlight like everybody else. … We are the Cinderella of the playoffs. It’s a great feeling when they...

I faced Clemens as a player, coached against him and managed against him,

All of a sudden, we have the guts to keep him in the starting rotation. Two months ago, everyone in Chicago wanted to kill this kid and get him out of town because he was...

He said Marte is fine. He’s 100 percent to go. If makes you wonder if the injury was mentally or physically. If the injury was mental, it’s a shame because that kid has better stuff...

That team worked so hard all year long, they deserve to do what they’re doing now. Finally, they can say, ‘We did it!’ A lot of teams made it tough on us. It wasn’t easy.

The way he’s thrown the last four outings, it’s not easy for me [to leave him out of the playoff rotation]. Everybody knows he can pitch. Everybody knows what kind of stuff he has. The...

You might want to go to your room, call your mom and cry, but when you come to the ballpark and put on the uniform, you have to be a man. I have 30 men...

Besides that, we’ve got a Plan B. We’re always prepared, just in case he couldn’t make it. But that’s pretty good news.

I have faith in him, and I make him believe we trust him and believe in him. He was so insecure. The thing about Jose was he didn’t want to let people down. We had...

I told you guys at the winter meetings, I expect it to be in June. Not because I’m Joe Doctor, just because that kind of injury and the size Frank is, it feels like it’s...

We have the type of team that executes all the time and that’s our game. We failed today at moving the guys over.

When you are in second place, it’s a different way. When you are in first, you can take care of yourself before somebody else does it, … Once the reaction went down, you saw the...

Either way we set the rotation, there’s a lot of guys who will have 10 days off, nine days off, … You have to figure out how to get those guys less days (off), but...

Hopefully, my philosophy works and helps him.

The best thing about Colon is you know his fastball is coming, but you still can’t lay off the high pitch. He’s effective with that and that helps make him a winner. When he’s locating...

I always say you’re a good coach when you have good players, … We have a pretty good pitching staff, it’s easy to go coach that one. But the thing is they trust him, they...

should be a Gold Glove winner.
