We have spoken to Federal Express to be ready to load up everything the day before Oct. 11, which is Tuesday.
Right now we don't have anything working, expect for the pitching. The defense is not consistent right now and we're not getting the big hits, no two-out base hits or (sacrifice) flies that we were getting a week ago.
Big hit, big hit, real big hit. ... We floated after that. Having a three-run lead after five is big. And to hold on and win like we did is pretty awesome.
The thinking (in spring training was) they were going to give us a better blend of veteran guys to support the younger guys.
I think he would probably term (his outing) as inconsistent. I don't think he's happy with the (three) walks and the deep counts. But being able to survive and keep the lead, I think he'll settle for that.
I hate to speculate in too many ways. It depends on what the major league club does.
We have guys that really want to go out and play and they want to win. And they work really hard, so if we put forth our best effort I think we'll be fine.
It's going to be good to get the game back to the way it should be. I think the guys who replaced those guys did the best job they could under the circumstances, but I think it was probably more unfair to the players to have this happen. It's always good when the game comes back to where it should be.
It's a different ball game when the season starts. It's for real, and it counts. The guys in spring training don't feel the same rush as they do during the regular season.
War and space exploration are alternative uses of the assertive, exploratory energies that are so characteristic of human beings. They may also be mutually exclusive because if one occurs on a massive scale, the other probably will not.
You don't really scoreboard watch because the other teams don't put the other games on the scoreboard like we do, ... We basically want to win our game, then when our game is over you ask 'What did they do?'
You never know what to expect when a guy comes back after missing a year. You have to be patient and work with him and hopefully he'll work with us and not push it too hard.
Any car can be taken . . . no car is immune.
He's got to be a real lowlife to do something like that at a time like this. It's the Louisiana way of doing business, I guess. But there is a quiet majority now that's sick and tired of this. People are fed up with these crooks.
