I think we've had a bunch of new guys and learned to kind of change the atmosphere around here. We've had fun, but we're doing a lot of work and getting stuff done.

It's very special to see a kid like Cain. There's going to be pressure on him to perform, and I think he's up for it. He's got great poise.

That's crap. Whoever did that should be embarrassed.
playing saw special wrong
That's how special he is. I don't know if you saw my ball, but it would have been out at Williamsport. I squared it up. I'm just playing on the wrong field.
