Boy, the infield is like concrete out there. Ground balls get by you in a hurry. We can use the good weather to get our work in but you'd like to see a little rain at night to soften up the fields a bit.

Even though we've been struggling, I think we have a decent lineup. I think we will score some runs. Maybe today is a start for us.

Ben would have made the team if he had been completely healthy. But it was in his best interest not to push it, so he'd be ready opening day.

Believe it or not, Benny wasn't nearly as sharp as his last start. He's back healthy again - we don't even think about that anymore - and doing what he does best. He was on the attack.
