easily time
We could easily have quit. This is a time when we could have easily conceded.
definitely easier genuinely guys overcome spend time together tough
It's definitely not overrated. When you spend so much time together you have to have guys get along. You're going to have some tough times, and when guys can genuinely get along, then it makes it a lot easier to overcome some of the adversity.
both good hard hopefully time
Yeah, I think it could have been worse, without a doubt. After the MRIs, hopefully we're going to get good news. It's going to be hard to keep both of us out of the lineup. This time of year, it's hard to keep us out.
amount assemble huge lose team time
This is really sad. You come all this way to assemble a team and Mike's such a huge part of that. To lose him for any amount of time is disheartening.

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.
affect begin cover early eye friday large outer reaches region saturday sometime system
Early Friday the outer reaches of the system will begin to affect Texas, with the eye making landfall sometime Saturday morning. Something this large is going to pretty much cover the whole coastal region of Texas.
below clubhouse expects forget guys nobody people record whatever
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.

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,
