bring chance control good guarantee mental minutes people rest stuff weak weeks whether
If you're a weak mental guy, it can get to you. Whether you have two minutes rest or two weeks rest, you're going to have energy. Control that energy, bring your stuff to the glove and I guarantee we'll have a real good chance of getting people out.
closer four remember
In the first four games, (for the starters) to go all but two-thirds of an inning? I can't remember anything like that. I'm ecstatic. And we're getting closer to the goal.
main needs
He's progressing to where he needs to be. That's the main thing he needs to do.

He told me that he really felt the pressure pitching in New York and trying to live up to all the money,
seems
He's a man-child. Nothing seems to faze him.
days matter
He's an interesting character. There are days when A.J. has that look, and you know that no matter what you have to say, he's going to say the opposite.

Trust me, this is a problem we love having.
chance considered everybody great ourselves people proven raising riding start twice
To me, what's riding on this now is if we go out there and do our thing - which we've already proven to ourselves we can - we've got a chance to be considered a great team. Everybody can do it once. You do it twice and people start raising their eyebrows.
guy hang health recent
He's had some lumps, and recent health issues, but the guy can pitch, and if we can hang on, the postseason is a place where he can perform.
coming guy handled heart moments
He's got toughness, heart and he's pretty calm. He's been in some pretty big moments for a 24-year-old guy coming up from Double-A. And he's really handled it.
national
We did everything we can do with these guys. They're like the National Guard. They're on 24-hour call.
attitude believes brings confident knows season
I think the attitude he now brings into this season is because he knows what he's got. He's a very confident guy, and he believes in that stuff, the way he should.
begun bigger game happened history legacy maybe might name time type white
I think that game might have permanently etched Buehrle's name in White Sox history and maybe even begun a legacy type of thing. It couldn't have happened at a better time or a bigger moment.
envisioned facing point yankees
I think this is what the Yankees envisioned when he was there. I just don't think he was prepared, at that point in his life, for what he was facing there.
