Shawn Chacon Last Quotations

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

I went through some tough times as the closer last year in Colorado, booed off the field some games, and that's at home, where I grew up, in front of family and friends. I came over here, with a chance to be in a playoff race, something I've never been a part of, and I'm thinking, what have I got to lose?

That's the way we've played the last three weeks or so. Everybody has the attitude that we have to come out and win every game, no matter what situation we're in. Tonight showed some of the character of this team, the fight, and now we have one more game.

Everything leading up to this (start), it matters, ... But it doesn't when you're in the playoffs and it's win or go home. Nothing else matters. You don't want the last thing people remember you by (is) you lost the playoff game and your team got sent home.

In my last start, I kind of got in trouble by falling behind early in the count. I tried to go ahead with strike one, and then try to make them hit my pitch later in the count.

I don't know how I got through losing and being in last place every year. Obviously, simply because I've never been in this situation. I'm just very, very thankful.

I come in here and lose; I was losing in Colorado. I've been through that. What, am I going to get booed? I was booed in Colorado last year. So I've been through that.
