Ozzie Guillen Couple Quotations

Right now he does. All I want to see him do is throw strikes. He was supposed to go in for one inning and it was so quick he had another shot. And he did a tremendous job and right now, he's going to be the talk of the next couple of days.

I wear it every day because I like the colors, ... If you've noticed, we're always playing against red. We played against Cleveland, then we played against Boston, then we played against the Angels . That's all red. That's why I'm wearing red. The National League teams are a couple of reds, too. That's why I wear it.

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.

I said a couple weeks ago that if we score four runs, we should win. That's the way we built our team. We have a good pitching staff. That's our game, pitching and defense.

Why is the lineup this way? ... Because I'm the manager. I wanted it that way. A couple of guys needed rest.

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.

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.

We didn't look too good, but there is nothing you can go by. You got to wait for a couple of days when they get ready.

A couple of my guys need rest. They've been playing a lot of baseball. I gotta rest my players.

That play could have cost the game. A ball on the line and a couple of runs are going to score. Ozuna has been playing well for us. He's playing pretty good defense and doing well at the plate.

A couple guys need rest, ... They've been playing a lot of baseball. I've got to give some guys a day off. That's the reason why I made the lineup like that. Hey, I've got to rest my players. Tomorrow will be the regular lineup.

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.

It's not easy for us to sit there for a couple hours and go through two teams in one day, but I want to do it (Monday) because (today) will be a busy day for us.

It was one lady and six guys sitting next to me, and we were just playing around all game. And (if) they take it the wrong way, that's fine. I know the last couple of days I slept pretty good about it because I don't have anything in my conscience to make me feel guilty about it.

I like what I see. He throws strikes. He did a tremendous job. Right now he's going to be the talk of the next couple of days.

If you're afraid to be in a pennant race, you'll never be in a pennant race, ... If you're afraid, you won't face the media, you don't play cards, you don't have a couple of beers after the game. There was a lot of controversy the other day when I said that our team stinks. We had lost two in a row. If you play good, I'll let you know. If you play bad, I will let you know.

If he's not here, we don't think about him. If he's here, great. We can see him, see how he is. I know a couple of the guys here would be really happy to see him.
