Son, we'd like to keep you around this season but we're going to try and win a pennant.

We have to have great pitching performances from our guys, and we have to take it from there.

I don't see any baseball expansion right now. If it were up to me, I would contract two teams. But I certainly don't think expansion on the horizon.

I'm not thinking about records. Just winning the pennant would be exciting.

I really want to see the Cubs in the World Series. I really do.

All ballplayers want to wind up their careers with the Cubs, Giants or Yankees. They just can't help it.

You win pennants in the off season when you build your teams with trades and free agents.

I had an opportunity with Baltimore to make it to the World Series, and that didn't happen.
