Even before last year, every time I go out there on the mound and pitch and do a good job for my team, I build confidence. Regardless of just one season.

A lot of people out there will be disappointed (whenever the Sox don't win), because I guarantee we won't be picked to come in fourth in our division this year. There are different expectations this year, and there should be, but I don't think people realize how tough it is to win a World Series.

chance confidence distance giving good short shown win year
He's shown the confidence in us and let us go the distance pretty much all year if it's our game, ... That's good to see out of a manager. Without that short leash, he's always giving you a chance to win a ballgame.

He's one of those guys who when you play against him, you absolutely can't stand the guy. He drives you nuts. But on your team, you love it. He fits in here.
