Carl Everett Quotations

I never compliment the other pitcher. I make my living off pitchers.

Gays being gay is wrong. Two women can't produce a baby, two men can't produce a baby, so it's not how it's supposed to be. ... I don't believe in gay marriages. I don't believe in being gay.

The Bible never says anything about dinosaurs. You can't say there were dinosaurs when you never saw them. Somebody actually saw Adam and Eve. No one ever saw a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

As long as I'm around playing baseball, it doesn't matter where I am, as long as it's not with the Yankees.

When it's your turn and guys are in scoring position, you want to get them in. If you don't, it's the guy behind them who will get them in. We play team baseball, and I know that is why we have been so successful.

I don't give credit to pitchers. He's going to have to show it every time. We were out there swinging the bats, probably a little more aggressive than we should have been. We swung at some balls out of the zone. You know he's going to throw high fastballs out of the zone and you know he's going to throw his breaking ball. You've got to be patient.

I don't know why everyone was stressin' because we weren't losing those games,

If it wasn't for those guys, things would still probably be the way they are. The things they accomplished have allowed me to be a ballplayer, so I always respect them for that.

We lost this game with no fundamentals. If we all collectively get the fundamentals down, we win this game.

I think we're going to surprise a lot of people.

Jamie was great. Was Schilling great, too? I never credit pitchers. I make my living off pitchers. But Jamie was great, and he got squeezed a lot, too.

We just didn't get the clutch hit, but we fought the whole way. We played 27 outs and had our opportunities. It shows the character of this team. We're not giving up.

We were solid the whole time. Our pitching was great, we had great defense and it showed tonight. Uribe came up so clutch. He's the best shortstop in the league right there. Without him tonight, we'd still be playing.

You know he's going to throw high fastballs out of the zone and breaking balls. It's just being patient enough. You learn from it.

The pressure is all on the pitcher. He doesn't want me to get a hit, and he doesn't want to walk me. There are probably a lot of negative thoughts bouncing around in his head.

We're not supposed to win, so it puts pressure on everybody else. We've played good baseball like we've done all year, and we're just being ourselves. People are going to continue to count us out, but at the same time, just be the White Sox that we were from the first game of the season.

We played as a team. I'm so proud of all 25 guys. We never died.

We'll just have to get to Cleveland and play a little better baseball.

We're no longer the second team in Chicago. It's all South Side.

This technology that we call wireless is going to have many contributors, and they are going to be all over the world. There are going to be important companies around the world involved in it. Austin is, and will be, a player in the wireless space. But it will be one of many.

We saw that he was frustrated with himself a little bit. As older guys, we have to stay on him, make him think positive thoughts. Just one pitch at a time. Get ahead of the hitters. Be the pitcher he can be and forget about some of the thoughts that he has. Just pitch his game and not worry about what people expect from you. He's going to come around.

We feel like we're playing great baseball. It's not just my hit or anyone else's hits. This here, to me, is a team. It's not just one person. We put six runs on the board, we got good pitching, and we got a win. A good, team win.

You get used to it, ... Even sometimes when you don't feel it's something that's right.

As the number one U.S. supplier of PCs, Dell is committed to bringing the best wireless technology to its customers and is taking an active role in developing this and other key technologies.

There's no reason to get down. We know we can win. Losing yesterday and losing today is not going to knock any confidence from us.

Now in a leadership role on a young team, Everett will thrive and could approach the numbers he put up for Houston and Boston, meaning 30 home runs, 100 RBIs and double figure steals.

That's why if it was up to me, I'd turn off all of the TVs in the clubhouse. And I'd turn the (out-of-town) scoreboard off at home, too. What good does it do? When you're in a pennant race, you shouldn't worry about the teams chasing you, so why watch the games?

That's how we've done it all year long, and it's certainly not going to change now.

You're going to find when I'm not smiling, stay away from me.

This is the way we've been all year,

It wasn't enough tonight, but there were a lot of good signs. We just have to put it all together. There are just some things we've got to get better at.

It was cool. And I think it was good to get it in front of everybody. Maybe it will spark the realization about what it means. It's knowing that this is what you work for.

I told him in the top of the ninth, when we win this game, you're the MVP. To come out as smooth as he did, to me he's the MVP.

It reminded me of my days in Houston, when we not only had fun, but we wanted to beat people's heads in all of the time, ... I've got no sympathy for anyone in the game. I just want to beat you. And I want to beat you as bad as possible.

Hope we're going to win,' that's exactly what I saw. It wasn't a team that went out to beat you every day.

I don't know if it was just my turn. It just so happened my hit scored two runs. We put six runs on the board and not to be overlooked is our pitching.

He can hit; he's strong. They never gave him a chance. You've got to get a chance if you're going to do anything.

A.J. is A.J.. People love to hate him. They don't realize he plays hard. That's what I admire about any teammate.
