He did it all today. He showed up big. He stepped up and did a tremendous job.

I can eat and drink for free in Chicago. What’s better than that?

That happened to me. I was talking crap about the White Sox, but I just said it once. That’s it. I got it off of my chest. If you hear it day in and day...

We’re going to continue to look around and see what happens.

I did it because we had a bullfight one day, and I didn’t want to go to spring training. I got all the excuses.

It was great, nice for the guys. Thank God this thing is over. All the circus is over and we can concentrate on playing baseball.

The double was bigger than the home run. … That’s why we got him. Hopefully, he stays hot.

I was thinking we’d have men on second and third and one out. There was a lot of risk … But this kid is a real solid second baseman. That is one reason he plays...

I was pretty impressed. The balls don’t carry here much.

It’s still a Cubs city. Now, winning, we’re going to build those kids that grow up in Chicago to be a White Sox fan. It’s going to take a little while to be a White...

When you score nine runs, you should have a win. We pitched poorly. Freddy pitched really, really poorly. We have to look ourselves in the mirror and pitch better.

Welcome to the House of Terrors. I think we didn’t lose it, we gave it away. We just walked too many guys, and that’s something this club hasn’t done this year. It’s amazing they didn’t...

Pitchers always set the tone. Besides one bad inning against Toronto earlier in the year, he has been great for us.

Freddy was outstanding. That was one of the best I’ve ever seen him throw. That’s the Freddy we like to see.

I’m happy for him. He’s one of my buddies from the Marlins, and it’s good to see him back.

I want the ring. I’m not satisfied.

Don’t get cocky. Anything can happen.

I expect it when we bring in Jenks, … The more I see this kid, the more I like him.

I think it’s going to be a real attractive and weird World Series because you’ve got two teams that aren’t supposed to be there. You’re not going to see the big-name franchises. Nothing against them....

We’re playing lousy baseball on the bases, pitching, everything. There’s no doubt about it. We really flat-out stink. It’s not the same team I’ve been watching all year.

He said ‘Get them tomorrow,’

Everybody thinks the players who come from Latin America were shining shoes, … I lived good.

That happened in spring training that he didn’t make the team because we didn’t have space for him, … The way (Jose) Contreras has thrown and (Orlando Hernandez) has thrown, it’s not easy to put...

I think this kid is going to help us on the playoff roster,

When you win, it never gets old.

When we were really struggling, you didn’t see guys get two hits in a game. Any time someone got one hit, one walk — nobody could put it together. Tonight when we were hitting the...

This is not my dream. This is my goal.

It’s time to see what he has and if he can help us now in the stretch.

Freddy is supposed to be a big-game pitcher, … Everything is in Freddy’s odds. He should be all right.

Right now, it’s too early to make a call.

This kid does everything for the team. That’s why I keep saying this kid is my MVP.

I saw him in a couple of minor league games and he looked really good. He can do a lot for us. When he gets on base he charges the batteries of everybody.

When you make the lineup, whoever likes it or whoever doesn’t, too bad. If he doesn’t like it, go home.

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.

Listen, I know what players we had in the past. I don’t want those players anymore.

We left a lot of people on base. We didn’t do what we do best – clutch hitting. We had chances in every inning to score.

It was not easy for Jose. He had to warm up three times because of the rain. They were moving the starting time every 15 minutes. He’d come back and sit down, warm up and...

I’m going to root for the guy that fell.

We had (Bobby) Jenks up and I just went by Mark to see how he feels, … He told me the last inning he felt good and I looked at his arm and talked to...

That’s the way we should be playing. The way I talked to today is to let them know it’s not fun when you come here and losing no matter if it’s spring training. Today is...

Sweeping this team, the way they were playing, is tough. I think we weren’t playing the game the way we should early, but now we are getting better.

Great job, wow. I think McCarthy was the star of the game. He did a tremendous job. He saved my bullpen. That’s one of the reasons we brought this kid. We know he can pitch...

The key to this ball club and the key to him is keeping healthy. We have to do the best we can to keep him healthy. As long as this kid is healthy he can...

I’m not going to take the bat out of his hands like I did last year. He gave himself up once or twice a game, and that’s why I want to drop him down in...

That’s why I picked Freddy to pitch in the road trip. Hopefully, he continues to do what he’s been doing all year long.

Today I was in the clubhouse and we were watching the highlights. You do get goose bumps. But in the meanwhile, you’ve got to be careful. No matter what you do today, just prepare yourself...

We have the type of team that must execute,

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.

We had a chance a couple of times and we couldn’t pull the trigger. When you have an opportunity, you have to take advantage of it or you’re going to pay for it.

Last year, we took a lot of heat in Chicago because they always say,
