I've been watching him pitch for 18 or 20 years. You've got to get him in the first three innings, or he gets momentum.
Fastball right down the middle. I had a great pitch to hit. I didn't come through, and that's not acceptable. I need to do more.
We have to look at the positives. Randy pitched well, our pitchers are pitching well, our bats were better tonight and we just have to make plays.
I think defence, for the most part, being a balanced player and also saving a lot of runs on the defensive side, I think was a major factor here. To me, defence is foremost. It's always been. The White Sox showed us this year pitching and defense wins to this day.
We need to just take what the pitchers give us.
Even with the last pitch of the game, we were surprised the game was over. We feel we will win every game.
I think it's the best our pitching staff has been since I've been here, in over a year-and-a-half.
He needed it, the team needed it. It was a shot in the arm to get a good pitching performance.
We've been swinging the bats progressively better the last three days. We have to work on being more consistent.
We were like desperate animals trying to survive, and animals are most dangerous when they are in a snare.
We win and lose as a team ... I'm as proud of these guys ... We left our guts on the field.
I've never seen Matsui ever make a mistake. That's the weirdest thing.
It would be a great privilege, ... I think this is the year that anything's possible, because I don't think there's one runaway guy.
It was tough ... on me to be honest with you. I can remember in December sitting in my house, and my mom and my wife having a debate for two hours about it.
