aware george winning yankees
I'm aware of it. What do I think? Flattering, interesting, ... George Steinbrenner and the Yankees ? there's no more winning organization.
excited focus mine trying win
He'd be excited about it, ... But his focus would be where mine is, on trying to win a world championship.
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.
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.
thoughts win
My thoughts are here, and I want to be here, ... I want to win this now, here. That's my only focus.
attended individual people pump unless
Every individual has been attended to. But you can't simulate what it's like unless you pump 50,000 people into the stands.
leaning point toward
I do think that at some point or another this season, we're going to need 12 pitchers, but we're leaning toward 11 right now. That's probably going to happen.
above believe beyond deep expect good
I always expect good performances out of our starters, want them to go deep and believe in them -- but what they did is way above and beyond my expectations and those of a lot of other people.
jumping nobody
Hey, everything is up for grabs. Nobody is jumping up, so we will look in-house here, down below.
less man third
If there's a man on third and less than two outs, El Duque isn't going to feel pressure,
cuban threw
Because he threw like that in Cuba, Duque said, 'Hey, let's go back to being a Cuban pitcher,'
happens
I'm concerned. If it happens again, I'm more concerned.
pitchers
There's not too many matchups that we don't feel comfortable with because our pitchers can do some things.
selling-more goal priorities
Selling more of what you sell has nothing to do with what you sell. It has everything to do with your prospect's wants, needs, fears, goals, values and priorities.
