I always liked him when he was with the White Sox,

When I heard I got traded to the White Sox I was really excited because I know they are a world championship team and I know they are trying to do it again. I know Kenny Williams has done a great job of keeping the team together and adding some pieces like Jim Thome.

The biggest thing is to have a swagger when you take the field. When you're not going well, you have to change something -- the biggest thing is the way you carry yourself. You have to walk like you belong with the best, go up to the plate like you know you belong with the best. That's swagger.

When you're not swinging well, you lose that [swagger],

It's always big when the back end of your rotation throws the way Pedro did. He was throwing well before he went down [with a strained right quad muscle]. We really missed him. It looks like he picked up where he left off.

I tell you, that's one of the prettiest sights you can see. When you're down and they're scoring every inning there, then we get the big blow there, it doesn't get better than that, to clutch up like Ramon did tonight.
