Mark Buehrle Ball Quotations

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.

I've been doing that for four years. He said, 'You've got to come to first.' I don't know how I didn't since I threw the ball there. That's a big deal. It goes from 2-0 to 5-0.

It was probably one of the best games of my career. We found my changeup in the middle innings and in the seventh and eighth innings I made a couple of key pitches and had a ground ball and a couple of outs. But it was one of the best games of my career.

First happened, I thought Josh Paul threw the ball to the mound like he caught it. It's a heads up play by A.J. to run to first base like that.

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.

Never say never in this game because crazy stuff can happen.

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.

Last year was totally opposite. My numbers - it's just one of those years. I don't know if the wind was blowing in or it was a little cold or the balls were flying out. If I did it every year, there would be something to it. But last year was totally opposite, so I have no clue what the difference is.

I hung the ball the first couple of innings. Location-wise I didn't have it.

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.

Everything is going our way. The balls are landing our way, the calls are going our way and we're getting that big hit when we need it. Everything you look at, how can't we win this thing? But we still have two more games to win.

That was huge especially with (Mike) Sweeney on deck. He's hit me pretty well. That's why I kind of gave a little fist pump after I picked him off. If you make a mistake to Sweeney, he's going to hit the ball out of the park and would be a tie game. That is one of the big points of the game.

I like to get out in the woods as much as I can to get my mind away from baseball and kind of get away from everything. It's nice to get out there and listen to everything, the wildlife and the smells.
