sad seasons
The sad thing, ... is seasons like this don't come around every year. You never know when you will get another shot.
bunch four guys save three top year
To get up in there and by right around the top three or four in the league, I can say, 'Yes, I was one of those guys for one year that was able to save a bunch of games,'
good limit people sky understand
I don't know about the people who didn't understand what (Shapiro) was doing back then, but they should understand now. This is a very good team. The sky is the limit with this group.
last people
I didn't get too many people out in that first one here last year.
pitch
I was going with a strikeout pitch every time.
competing experience happen level next players taking
Now we have players who are young in age, but they have experience under their belts. Something could happen at any time, they could take it to the next level. We're there, we're competing with everyone, but taking it to the next level is the thing.

The pitching is a big core. You look at the Chicago White Sox, what they did last year, the New York Yankees, when they were in their heyday, they had pitching and that's what wins championships. You're very seldom going to slug it out with a team in the playoffs.

almost beginning came chicago everybody fell last lost quick says stick team tough worry year
Hopefully, we'll be the team getting off to a quick start. If we're not the team getting off to a quick start, hopefully, we can stick with them. Last year, Chicago was just too tough at the beginning of the year and they just lost everybody else. We almost came back, but it fell short. Everyone says don't worry about the beginning of the season, but it is a key.
foul guys hit pitch three win worst
He went down and got it. It wasn't the worst pitch in the world. Some guys foul it back, some guys hit it out. Heck, if it's not for me, we win three games.
