Here again, the White Sox have made the World Series and awakened the city. It was always a challenge playing in Chicago. I think (the city) is ripe and ready for (this World Series).

It may re-open some eyes and ears to the fact that pitchers can and should go nine innings,

It's a fundraiser, but it's more than that. It's a chance to honor the Special Olympics. A lot of the Special Olympians will attend. It's kind of a big deal for them.

This kid who was always laid back, he's got a few bubbles in him, he said: 'Bring 'em on today, I'll beat 'em again. That was so uncharacteristic.

Sometimes it seems the more you know, the less sure you are of yourself, ... I can just sit back and watch and not have to sweat it out for either side. What I know is, anything can happen in a short series.

The team that won that pennant was in the minors when the season began, ... The old guard, that came over from Brooklyn, their best days were behind them.

You hear the same thing every year, but that's because it's true, ... In a short series, pitching is very dominant.

We only charge $5 because we want families to enjoy the evening. It's a good wholesome evening. There are not too many entertainment nights you can get for five bucks. All funds we raise for Special Olympics stay in Madison County.

We were all very nostalgic about those guys.

Today's managers don't give the starting pitcher a chance. Maybe this White Sox staff has re-proved something that was true all along. If the pitcher's in good shape, and he hasn't allowed too many runs, he can and should go all nine.
