Doug's the type of guy who will never tell you he's tired, ... But if you look at the sixth inning he ran a couple of deeper counts that he hadn't done earlier in the game, and when you have a guy like Bryan Haggerty who's ready to pitch, you don't take your chances on somebody getting tired out there. If you see anything, you're going to make the change.

I think we were kind of aggravated at the way bands only write titles that will fit inside DJs' mouths perfectly. We were kind of annoyed with that. At the same time, I think we always kind of want to give people something that they won't expect so maybe on the next record, it won't be like that. Maybe it'll be 'Track One,' 'Track Two,' 'Track Three.' That's what our humor's like and how we think as people.

The biggest thing is what kind of strings are going to be attached to it. If it will be free money and they will let us spend it the way we want to, that will be great.
