early great obvious runs spot today
Today was a do-or-die for them, and he pitched a great game. It's obvious that he is a big-game pitcher. So when you spot him some runs early and he has that cushion, then it makes him that much better.

It's a great way for local business owners to interact with customers on a very personal level,
great needs spark tomorrow whether
Something needs to spark us, and I think that we'll do something tomorrow night. Whether it be a great play or a big hit, a two-out hit, something like that. We haven't had any of the above. We need to get something like that to kind of get the momentum.
ace anytime expect gave great lose main star substitute
Anytime you lose your ace it hurts. You take him out there and you expect to win. Hensley gave us a great effort, but there's no substitute for your star pitcher. The main thing is we have to get him healthy.
great picked time
He picked a great time to get hot.
baseball expected far fare ourselves playing win worried
We expected to win this division, we said it from day one, and we want to go far in the playoffs. We're worried about ourselves playing better baseball because if we don't, we're not going to fare too well in the post-season.

It would have been devastating, really. For us to find a way to come up with a team victory ... it's the biggest win of our year, no doubt about it.

Even if it's below .500, and we get to the postseason, if we go out there and do something special, then I think people will forget about it, ... We've got nothing to lose. Whatever our record is, nobody expects much of us. As long as 25 guys in the clubhouse do, that's all that matters.
funding high school
I wanted to find something that was different and a lot of times overlooked, and that's high school kids. The funding often is not there,
bring energy game
I wanted to bring energy out of the gate. After a game like yesterday, you don't want it to snowball. I think that was big for Jake.
We think nothing of having her in the dugout.
affects folks ground higher lose maybe means might moved people poorer
We're used to this. The people that it really affects the most are the poorer folks that maybe are renting and might not have the means and transportation to get their possessions moved to higher ground in time. They lose everything.
easily mud
We're used to this. After all, it's just mud and water, easily cleaned.
