Shawn Chacon Good Quotations

Through five, I did exactly what I wanted to do with most of the pitches. In the sixth inning, just made a couple bad pitches to some good hitters. That was it.

I had pretty good stuff. I had command of all my pitches and I kept them off balance. Our offense put up runs early and that made things easier.

I felt good to the last pitch. That's all I'm looking for.

Today I could locate all my off speed pitches for strikes, I wanted to keep the White Sox off balance, ... I know they are a good hitting fastball team.

I was able to throw everything for strikes, ... I was able to make pitches when I needed to. It was a good day.

When you watch him play, you see what he does on the field. Off the field, when you get over here, you see it's not about him getting on people and being that loud kind of leader. He leads by example. His energy, his positive attitude is contagious. He's just always trying to pick guys up, whether he has a good or bad night.

I've said it since I've been here. If you keep this lineup close, good things will happen.

They told me when I came over here that we were trying to piece it together until we could get over the injuries, ... Between Small, myself, even Proctor making that one start, we've done a pretty good job. If we get Randy back to being himself and Jaret pitching the way he can, we'll have a solid rotation.

It's disappointing. I felt like I had good stuff when I warmed up, and I didn't think I pitched badly. I didn't want to come out of the game.

I'm thinking, 'Without this team, I wouldn't have done as good as I have.'

I had a pretty good spring. I don't think I hurt myself at all. We'll see what happens.

In the simplest terms, I kept the same mentality coming over here, but I also realized I was getting the opportunity to pitch on a really, really, really good team. And I had to take advantage of it.

I don't want to waste an opportunity to play on this team and be good on this team. Nobody knows when they'll get an opportunity to play for the New York Yankees. . . . I figured this is my opportunity to not only be good here but also to open people's eyes and let them know that, hey, I might have been in Colorado struggling, but I feel that I'm a pretty good pitcher.
