I didn't think they'd be able to run or throw it on us but they did and did a good job of it. We didn't play good and they did. I don't know why, it just happened.

The biggest compliment you could give us is when you say we're baseball people. Because we are. I'm a firm believer that a baseball person, a guy that has a love for the game, should be running the club.

Start each day in such a way that satan screams, OH NOOOOO...He's getting up!

In Townsend, we have strived to see that our development doesn't get out of hand, ... Only three properties were annexed for development in the last six years. Middletown created a monster. Why should we have to suffer for the mess they created? What did we do to deserve this?

If you miss four or five games as a season-ticket holder, either Reid or Reese or myself is going to call you [asking] where you've been. We really get to know our fans.

Your true baseball fans appreciate the higher level of play,
