Ozzie Guillen Games Quotations

When you score nine runs, these are games you have to win, no doubt about it. When your best thing is the pitching staff and you score nine runs for the pitching staff we've had all year, no way we should have lost. We have to look in the mirror and pitch better.

No -- I could get some advice from him this year ... Advice isn't going to help. You cannot pick when things go right and things go wrong. You have to look at the law of averages where they were winning games early in the year, too. It's hard to continue to win in that many different ways and that many close games. I'm confident they'll get it together and pull it together.

I have a lot of faith in my bullpen, ... We win a lot of games because of them.

I feel proud. It's not like I'm criticizing the people that were booing because when you go from a 15-game lead to one or two, obviously they do it. But when you win that many games and people keep criticizing and criticizing, second doubts and second guessing, it takes the fun away from the people. To me this is a release and a satisfaction.

He's come out and pitched two big games for us.

He's been trying to come back out with the same attitude and the same performance. He has come out and pitched two big games for us.

He showed people today. I think it's one of the best games he's pitched, the best I've seen him throw all year long.

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.

We can't control (what Cleveland does). They are playing so well. We just have to worry about winning our own games. You know they are going to win the way they are playing now. But we just have to worry about how we'll play and win as many games as we can.

We really lost two games where we didn't have a chance.

We have a lot of games to go and not that many players in camp. Everybody will get a legit chance. The guy who can pinch-hit and play once in a while, he will take the job.

To me, our pitching and our defense weren't strong enough (in '04). Now we can win games 3-2 with a squeeze. Last year, it never went through my mind to squeeze.

To me, our pitching and our defense weren't strong enough (in '04), ... Now we can win games 3-2 with a squeeze. Last year, it never went through my mind to squeeze.

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 just play, ... We played 162 games with the same attitude.

I see St. Louis has 95 (wins). The White Sox 90. And we feel like we won only 10 games this year, ... Some people treat my team like a piece of (garbage). And we're not.

I told my players, the last 11 games we have to win are the toughest ones.

It's not how many runs you score in one game, it is how many games you win in a series and we lost the series.

I never believe managers win games or managers lose games. The type of players I have in my clubhouse, those are the type of players that can win with anybody running the club.

I like what I see. He was throwing a lot of strikes. We will take a better look when the games start in the minor leagues. It's a first-time outing, and we are going to keep our eyes on him.

He pitched two big games for us. It's going to be a real interesting talk.

The guy pitches two good games and all of a sudden he's Cy Young,

Guillen wasn't finished about his intent to stick with Contreras with left-hander Neal Cotts warming up. He was dominating the Twins, ... People think I'm a bad manager or don't know the game or fall asleep during the game and wake up and change pitchers. I'm watching the same game they are.

The only difference between me and the fans is I can't eat or drink during the game and you guys can't make moves. Besides that, we are pretty much the same people.
