We're not a team that is going to pound people to death and blow people out. Our games are always close. That's good, and it's bad. It's bad because it's a tight game every night, and you have to really work for nine innings. But it's good when you win because it throws a dagger in the other team when you win those close ones.
More Quotes from Paul Konerko:
At this point of season in 2000, we had so many pitchers who were injured, so we had so many question marks going into the postseason, ... This year we've been lucky and haven't had too many injuries. Our pitching has been there all year. We have no reason to believe it won't be come playoff time. We do feel good about our pitching.Paul Konerko
If they're going to walk us off, ... that's a big momentum shift going into tomorrow night.

Keep playing like that and it'll turn. We're on the right track, I can tell. It's still in our hands, and there aren't many teams in baseball that can say making the playoffs is in their hands.

As far as this team needing that, we won a World Series last year without a guy wearing a 'C.' So it's obviously not the answer to winning a World Series. I just don't know if it's a baseball thing -- on any team. I mean, I'm flattered by it. I think it's the best compliment I've ever been paid.

Everybody wants to put the blame on us and say this and that. We haven't played our best in the second half or since August or whatever. But at the same time, I tip my hat to them.
Paul Konerko
I think the way our team is playing right now anybody could hit that home run, ... We're so selfless right now it's not like one guy is getting that hit, it's like every single guy is swinging all at once. We're not focusing on individual stuff. We're just looking at the scoreboard and trying to put up runs.
Paul Konerko
