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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
definitely hopefully rust
We're definitely going to need these guys, so hopefully they're getting the rust out now,

(Pitching coach Don) Cooper came over and asked me after the ninth inning, asked me how I felt. I said, 'You sent me back out there in the ninth to face Vladimir, you might as well send me back out there.
opening ready
I think I'll be ready for Opening Day. I could go right now.
chances hurt percent respect ruin team white
I thought, in respect to my team and fans, if I did go out and get hurt it would ruin our chances of repeating. I wanted to give 100 percent to (the White Sox).
either
You can go either way with it,'' Guillen said.
fun gets league leave listen manager people played playing time
You listen to people say that once they leave here, Ozzie is like no other manager they ever played for. Everyone that comes over here, we say, 'Hey, you're going to have a fun time playing for Ozzie.' They usually say, 'Yeah, that's what I heard.' I don't know if it gets around the league or what, but people want to come over here and play for him.
