He hasn't been here in three weeks, but we sure could have used him today. I'm sure he would have helped.

We can't come out flat like that in the first quarter, and it's a conference game and we took them lightly. Now, there goes the conference. If we want even a share we've got to beat (Riverside-Brookfield) twice.

That (stinks). And it's my fault, too, because I was zero for zero, and I should be getting (to the line) more. The last few games I've been virtually absent on the offensive side.

I was a little more focused. Today I was intent on getting the first hitter out. It's good to go out and get that first save. I know I can do it, but I didn't get it done last time.

I'd like to keep up my intensity and technique a little better. Today, I felt like I kind of took a step backwards.

I wouldn't be the player I am today if he cut me any slack,
