"No matter how you do it, the object is to score runs. It's the most important thing. We were able to do it with the small ball." - Ken Griffey, Jr. [MLB]

"During the first two games of the series, we just never came up with the big hit with runners in scoring position. Today we did that, and that's something we're gonna have to do again tomorrow." - Dewayne Wise [MLB]

"That's what we get paid to do. It's our job, and everybody's doing it right now." - Matt Thornton [MLB]

"John Danks showed guts and poise, not to mention a fastball that owned the inside corner. He forged a spot in the playoff rotation from now on and for a long time. He did it last week in a win-or-die game. He did it this weekend in another win-or-die game. Danks might be a kid, but he's exactly what some people foolishly believed Javier Vazquez was. He's the anti-Vazquez." - Steve Rosenbloom

"They again had the right man on the mound to make sure they did. It wasn't the masterpiece Danks painted against the Minnesota Twins in the play-in game Tuesday, but more of a well-crafted finger painting." - Joe Cowley

"What started as a rainy 58-degree day turned into a dry, cool, rewarding day. It could have been 35 and snowing and the Sox wouldn't have cared. They were at home. The Sox have faced four do-or-die games at the Cell the last eight days and won all of them." - Rick Morrissey

"[The White Sox] stand in stark contrast to what we saw with the Cubs, whose panic was clear and obvious. The Sox do not have as much talent as the Cubs, but here they are, the only game still in town." - Greg Couch
