I think they have some hard feelings. We're not going to let that affect us. If people want to say we don't have team leaders, that's their own thought.
Going against a guy like Santana, you know you can't give up too many runs or you don't have a chance. You try to match him, throw zeros like he is.
When they started cheering I kind of knew what it was for.
(Pitching coach Don) Cooper came over and asked me after the ninth inning, asked me how I felt. I said, 'You sent me back out there in the ninth to face Vladimir, you might as well send me back out there.
He'd do little things that irritate guys. Even now when he's on your team, you still see that. You think that's fun because he's on your team.
He just said that I had bad technique and I was going to get hurt. There's no fine. If I do it again, there will be a fine.
My wife saw it on Oprah, and she told me I needed to do something. I was going to give him my jersey, and then the White Sox really stepped up. Any time a guy does that, sells World Series tickets to help others, that is an amazing thing. I thought that was awesome.
My velocity was back up, which I was happy to see that. I was getting ground balls, which was nice to see.
It's nice to start opening day and then I can get my ring and enjoy it.
Any time your team wins, everybody else wants to go out and beat the best. We were the best last year, so everybody is gunning for us. It is going to be a little scary. I want everybody to pick us fourth again so we can surprise some people.
That might be the play of the year. Unbelievable.
I like to get out in the woods as much as I can to get my mind away from baseball and kind of get away from everything. It's nice to get out there and listen to everything, the wildlife and the smells.
Once I got taken out, I gave high-fives to everybody on the offense. I said, 'Thanks for picking me up.
He's outgoing. He's never in his office, ... Some managers are stuck in their office and don't socialize with everyone else. He's out here joking around, laughing, keeping everyone loose. I think it starts with him, as far as keeping our team loose.
