Everything is going our way. The balls are landing our way, the calls are going our way and we're getting that big hit when we need it. Everything you look at, how can't we win this thing? But we still have two more games to win.
Being a starting pitcher, you want to be a 20-game winner. Every year you come into spring training hoping to get to that part. I've always said if I win five games and the team wins 90 percent of my starts, that's all I can hope for, give my team the best chance to win.
Last year was totally opposite. My numbers - it's just one of those years. I don't know if the wind was blowing in or it was a little cold or the balls were flying out. If I did it every year, there would be something to it. But last year was totally opposite, so I have no clue what the difference is.
When we got rid of all that offense, I was thinking, 'There goes all of our power, all of our runs, all of our R.B.I., there goes all that,' ... It was almost, 'How are we going to win any games?'
We didn't really want to make a big deal. We didn't win the World Series. We're just getting in the postseason. We've got a lot of work ahead of us. If we win the World Series or we win the American League Championship, then we can act like that.

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.
You're going to have to go out there and throw tons of zeroes to give your team a chance to win.
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.
The way Buehrle pitched, it seemed like they didn't need no signs,'' Guillen said.
Ever since the All-Star break, it seems like I haven't had too many good games. It's frustrating. We've still got six games with Cleveland. And the way that they're playing, they could sweep us right now. If we keep on playing like we're playing, we're not going to the playoffs. We'll be home on Oct. 3.
Being a starting pitcher, you want to go out there and get as many runs early as you can. It happened a lot early in the season, and then the offense had been struggling lately. But any time you get a couple of runs early, it's nice to work with.
The team that struggles on the road or the one that uses the light in center field? Something's strange. They don't play so good on the road, and at home everybody's Babe Ruth.
I wanted to go back out there for a couple more innings. My pitch count was down, and it was the best I've felt all spring.
