reality work year
It's special. You work all year to make it reality and get to the playoffs.
coming early easy feeling games momentum roy strike sure three won
It's not going to be easy. It's not going to be easy coming back here. We'd won three games in a row, and we were one strike away. I'm sure they had to be feeling down, and now they have to be feeling great. But if we come out early and take some of their momentum away, and we get Roy going the way he can pitch, everything will be OK.
battle confident pull until
It's going to be a battle all the way until the end. We feel like we're strong, ... We'll be able to pull through it and get this thing done. We still feel very confident in that.
far
It's getting better every day as far as the soreness and all that.
good
It's just a good two-seamer down and away,
ahead great guys
It wasn't great and they battled me pretty hard. I was getting ahead of them for the most part but I just couldn't put guys away.
definitely extremely gratifying help obviously special trip
It's definitely a little different, ... This is right there with my first trip in '96. Obviously we went so many times after that in New York, but this is just extremely, extremely special and gratifying to be able to help this organization get to this World Series.
defense great guys picked played seemed trouble
It seemed like I was in trouble in every inning, but the guys picked me up and played great defense and scored some runs.
complete games great low scoring starters
What the starters have done over there, with all those complete games, it's amazing. I've pitched in so many games and I don't think I've ever had a complete game. It's going to be a great series, some great pitching, low scoring games. It's going to be a lot of fun.
close games rather sooner win
We still need to win some games and try to close this thing out. Hopefully, we can do that sooner rather than later.
growing-up team league
You know how you just don't like guys on the other team sometimes? It's funny because growing up I loved Roger (Clemens), loved to watch Roger pitch. Then when I was first in the big leagues and he was for the other team, I hated him.
winning tennis care
Whatever I do, I love to win. I don't care if it's tennis or ping pong, I'll kill myself to win it.
running winning years
It only took me 21 runs and five years to get a win here.
men faces sometimes
Hitters get paid a lot of money to hit. Let's face it, man, sometimes they just do.
