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.

I didn't think he would swing at it. Brandon has hit the ball off me well since we were 10.

They both have big hearts. Both are good players.

My key all season is to keep the ball down. I know how to keep the ball down against these guys.

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).

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.
