I thought it was a hoot. It's kind of too bad that you get the enthusiasm right before the season's over.

I've always thought that I'm sexy in my own right, but not in a way that people thought was bankable.

I thought the tempo and enthusiasm from our guys was real good. We have a lot of positions that are open, nine positions specifically. We have to get used to reacting faster and playing better as a group.

I think there's also a lot of enthusiasm around the Springfield Cardinals. And I thought it would be a nice way to say thanks to all the employees and their families with a nice day at the ballpark.

I think if the captain can get the team right and get the enthusiasm up and the morale up, then he does play a big role,

Dave's the right guy for this program right now. He's a young guy with a lot of enthusiasm.
