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.
When they started cheering I kind of knew what it was for.
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?'
I was so small, I wasn't even going to go back out for my junior year. But my mom and dad sat me down and said, 'we didn't raise a quitter - you're going back out.' I made the team and everything happened from there.
I'm pretty patient since I'm big into hunting.
To get a save in the World Series is the reason I can't stop smiling.
The faster you work, the better off you're going to be.
Everybody wants to be a professional baseball player and, sure, as a kid, I wanted to do that. But once I got cut from my high school team, I figured there wasn't much chance of that ever happening. I'm still in awe of it.
You see him coming in with an 0-2 record and a 5 ERA and you wonder, 'How? How's that possible?
You're going to have to go out there and throw tons of zeroes to give your team a chance to win.
Toughest [lineup] I've faced. Hopefully, if it comes down to the playoffs, I can get my revenge.
Never say never in this game because crazy stuff can happen.
Certain pitches you throw, they lay off them like they knew it was coming.
We're not even recognized in our own city, ... Everybody in this room knows it's a Cubs town.
