I don't care about the statistics. Hopefully, we'll get that 'W.' I'd love to go down to Greenville and get a win and keep playing toward a conference championship.

I could ask the Phillies to keep me on to add to my statistics, but my love for the game won't let me do that.

Love doesn't read statistics!

They read their sports pages, know their statistics and either root like hell or boo our butts off. I love it. Give me vocal fans, pro or con, over the tourist types who show up in Houston or Montreal and just sit there.

I had a few friends and their families who were in the middle of that. They had to evacuate, but all the ones I talked to made it through safely. I was stunned at how bad the damage was, but I remember when I lived there, Hurricane Georges was supposed to hit New Orleans dead on, and everybody was talking about how the city is below sea level and wondering if the levees would hold up. I guess it was just a matter of time.

I don't know what the reason is. It's always a big game, an emotional game. I've just been fortunate to make some big plays in those games.
