City and county government were not quite as strapped for cash in the past as they are today. A really bad storm can push them over the edge.

There is always pressure to say 'yes.' But that's because the need is so legitimate.

It was basically the exact same game. I think it was a little worse today, but we battled back, kept our heads up. I don't know what happened there (in the early innings).

I didn't have my good stuff today. I hadn't pitched in about a week and my arm was feeling kind of dead. So I was pulling out more curve balls than usual.

The stories ... seem to indicate that a lot more people have been killed over the past few days ... than in any other single case of attack before.

I think if we can get past Mount Vernon, we have a chance at Breese. I think we can cause them some problems and make a good game out of it. That may be a team that takes us for granted, and that may not be a good idea.
