Aaron Harang Guys Quotations

The fans are enthusiastic, so it's fun to come here and play well. The Cubs have hit me before, but tonight I threw strikes and the guys played defense behind me. And he (Pena) has hit the ball hard all year. I was grateful he did it again.

The biggest thing is everybody has to be consistent. We had some ups and downs last year. Guys are coming in early, getting ready for the season. We've got some veteran guys to fill in the bullpen. Starters have to step up and get us through six or seven innings and give our bullpen a chance to finish it.

You're always trying to one-up the guy that threw the night before. It's great to be able to sit back and watch the guys do their thing - get outs and throw well. It's something we've struggled with the past couple years, and we just have to go out and keep attacking the opposing hitters.
