club coming crowd games guys last nervous talking team
To be honest, this was probably one of the most nervous games I've ever pitched in. Coming off last year, the crowd was really into it. The guys on the other club have been kind of mouthing off, talking about how they were a better team than us. So I really wanted us to come out and do just what we did.
cheer couple crowd guys hurt morning nerves nervous quality sitting stand sure woke yesterday
I think I was more nervous yesterday sitting on the bench. Obviously, when I woke up this morning I was really nervous. Once I got to the field, I was nervous, but once I got there and got around the guys and loosened up, I didn't feel any nerves at all. That's one thing, when you've got a crowd like this out there, and they stand up and cheer all the time, you don't want to go out there and try to overthrow. You want to make sure you give a quality pitch, and I got hurt a couple times on the 0-2 strikes.
ball deal game gotta guys love strike throw
I'd love to strike out 20 guys a game and throw the ball 95. But I don't have that. I gotta go out there and deal with what I have.
almost beating behind game good guys key plays rhythm unable usual
I had real good rhythm out there. As usual the guys made all the plays behind me. The key to the game was beating Santana. That's something we were unable to do for almost two years.
against attack both guy nice quick strike
It's nice to have a quick game. Both of us were in the strike zone. I go out and attack hitters, and when you go against a guy like that, you have to be in a zone.
ahead came care city couple detroit fifth finishing fourth guys kansas people shows
It's funny. In the spring, a lot of people had us finishing fourth or fifth in our division. Some people had Detroit finishing ahead of us, and a couple had Kansas City finishing ahead of us. It just shows you the way our guys came out and didn't care what people thought.
air grab guys shipped
It wasn't him just going off and getting in people's faces. He did grab our attention, especially when he said if he has to have another meeting, it's not going to be fun. He said there will be a lot of guys getting shipped out of here, and he's going to air a lot of guys out.
ball couple distract guys hit produce
They're scrappy, ... and they don't try to do too much. They put the ball in play. When guys get on, they hit and run, steal, distract the pitcher. They go out and do everything they can to produce a couple of runs.
games guys might staff team three win year
I think we have at least two guys on this staff that can win 20 games this year with the team we have, the offense. Like I've said before, it does take a lot of luck. There's a lot that has to happen. But I think it's not just two that can win 20 games on this staff. There might be three or more that can do it.
against guy match runs throw
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.
amazing guy help needed saw sells series stepped tickets time white wife
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.
boston good guy hurt obviously throw
I don't think they're as good offensively as Boston is, ... Obviously every guy in that lineup can hurt you. I've got to go out there and throw up more zeroes.
ball four goes since threw
I've been doing that for four years. He said, 'You've got to come to first.' I don't know how I didn't since I threw the ball there. That's a big deal. It goes from 2-0 to 5-0.
seemed
The way Buehrle pitched, it seemed like they didn't need no signs,'' Guillen said.
