We cannot relax. We have to fight all the way to the end. We have (six) games against Cleveland at the end of the season. It's not over until it's over.

We have to compete against the world champions. We never did as a White Sox organization in the last 80 years or whatever it is, we never did anything to earn that respect.

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.

He was my teammate, and he don't do anything to me. Frank is Frank. I wish him the best, there's no doubt about it. I don't have anything against Frank. If I have anything against Frank, I will let him know.

Everybody is chasing us, everybody wants to play good against us. No doubt about it. We have to take the same approach as we have in the past. We have to play the game the way we've always played the game. Don't believe the hype. You have to go there and play the game and not worry about what people think.

I took a couple of peeks up there. Nothing against Kansas City or Tampa Bay, but the way they are playing right now and from what I saw when they left here, I doubt they will lose another game. I don't expect Tampa Bay to do it. I think the best team to do it now is us.

We don't have anything against Frank. I don't think anybody should. Frank never did anything bad for us.

We are playing against the best. They are the champions and they know how to play in the playoffs. We didn't face them during the season when we were pitching well. Now, we are. That's a difference.

I look at the scoreboard and it says this guy (Thome) hit more home runs against the White Sox than anybody. He's got 18 in this ballpark. Hopefully, he'll hit another 60. I know if this kid stays healthy, he's going to do some damage in Chicago.
