early games honored love meaningful pitch ready
I'm not going to pitch. I don't feel like I'm ready to pitch in meaningful games this early in the year. I'm honored to be asked, and in different circumstances, I'd love to play.
excited honored
I'm excited about it and honored to be considered.

Playing meaningful games every night in September makes it fun. I follow what the other teams are doing. I watch every game now. I even went out and got the (satellite TV) package.

It feels better than last year. Last year it hurt for a week or so. I couldn't move around without pain.
couple exactly miss next pitches three throw
It does make me a little nervous. I can throw three pitches, miss a couple of spots, and Carl can tell me exactly what I'm doing wrong. The next three pitches will be right where I want them to be.
believes bit everybody high last spot
I thought we'd be in this spot last year. But we got a little too high and then way too low. Now, everybody believes in one another. That's a little bit from Wedge, a little bit from what we've learned.
card games looking white wild
When the White Sox were 15 games ahead, we were looking at the wild card anyway. Now, it's up for grabs.

It was just the one pitch. I don't know what caused it.
fluid frame mind stay
I want to stay consistent, stay fluid and stay in my delivery. I think the big thing for me is to keep my mind frame the same, not get too down or too high. Then I'll be OK.
excited felt hit likes nobody
I'm not excited about what happened. Nobody ever likes to get hit around. But I felt good. I really did.

I hope that they felt when I was taking the ball today that we were going to win the game. That's the type of pitcher I want to be.
feet felt throws
I made about 40 throws from 75 feet and felt just fine.

I'm trying to speed it up and get back on the mound. The guys behind me have also played great defense during this streak.
chance five four time win
I've got four or five more starts, and I have to keep going. We're still in the race, and I have to give us a chance to win every time I'm out there.
