100 Quotes by Mark Buehrle

When we got rid of all that offense, I was thinking, 'There goes all of our power, all of our runs, all of our R.B.I., there goes all that,' ... It was almost, 'How are we going to win any games?'

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.

My leg cramped up in the eighth inning. It was like getting an elbow to the knee. I wanted to go back out and finish it, but it was best to let the bullpen finish it.

I would do it if there was no one in here. It's more fun for me. I used to do it when I was a little kid, in the back yard in the summertime. I would go out there all day without anyone in the stands.

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.

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.

I don't think anybody expected us to play as well as we did in the first half all year long. We knew we were going to go in a little funk. We just had to hold it to a minimum. We would have liked to clinch about a month ago, but we're here and that's all that matters.

I don't think anybody expected us to do what we did this year. But we're here, and we did it. We would have liked to clinch a month ago, but we're able to now, and that's all that matters.

Going against a guy like Santana, you know you can't give up too many runs or you don't have a chance. You try to match him, throw zeros like he is.
