When the position was open [after the 2003 season], I mentioned to my wife that he was probably going to be the manager.

You never know what he's going to say. Don't believe it. It's fun to just come in for a couple of days and just hang out with him and that's it.

It's different for someone who put so much time here, as far as the relationship he has with Jerry and Kenny. This probably means more to him and he shows that a lot.

It's nice to come back here when you know a lot of people, front office, coaches, things like that. It's nice to come back. [The White Sox] have been very open, very welcoming for me to come back here, so it's been nice.
