Hopefully, it (situational batting) will be something we'll be able to utilize when we really need it.

We had a lot of fight in us, but we're struggling. We're in a groove and we have to get out of it, and we're not playing as well as we have or as we can. We have some young kids who are not ready to play with the big dogs, and Central is clearly a well-coached team with a ton of talent that has the confidence we would want to attain in the next couple of weeks.

We hit the ball hard. The (box score) doesn't show how well we hit the ball. I mean, we hit some nice solid shots, but with the wind blowing in they didn't look that great. I was pleased.

We were very surprised and pleased that they'd even consider doing something for us. It will be nice to have a nice place for the children to go, and the clothes will be displayed nicely.

It's to give people in different areas an opportunity to preview the races. Each year it will be held in a different area. Next year we'll take it to another area of Metro Louisville, possibly Southern Indiana. … We just wanted to add events to the schedule and create our own little balloon festival.

I did plays in college, and I have half of a play. But I'm kind of stuck. I keep revisiting it so maybe it will move somewhere. There's something about plays where you can feel that sense of artifice at any moment.
