Javier Vazquez Great Quotations

When I heard I got traded to the White Sox I was really excited because I know they are a world championship team and I know they are trying to do it again. I know Kenny Williams has done a great job of keeping the team together and adding some pieces like Jim Thome.

Being with four other guys who are great pitchers I think is only going to help, and when you are around great pitchers and a winning atmosphere everything is contagious.

It's great for me coming here to a new team and having four great starters. I think it's going to help every one of us to push ourselves a little more.

Everybody out there did a great job. It seemed like they weren't in trouble at all. They made their pitches. That was big for us.

It was a great atmosphere. Playing for our country was definitely one of the greatest experiences that I ever had. I knew it was going to be very important, but it was definitely more than what I expected.

I don't think that right now you can say this team is going to be the favorite or this other team is going to be a favorite. A bunch of teams have great national teams. Obviously, the United States has a great team, and that's not secret, but I think we have a great team also.
