I was hoping we could go .500 during the tournament but we played really solid and came up with some good performances. We beat some pretty good teams and really battled.

This was a very convincing win for us in a match that was a must-win. It was an impressive performance up and down the lineup.

This was a good win against a team that is favored to win their league. As usual, we are very good at the top of our lineup and hoping some of the less experienced players continue to show improvement.

Already, this is the deadliest year in 10 years and knowing that the hottest part of the year is a month from being over, we are potentially looking at a disaster.

For me, no ideological or political conviction would justify the sacrifice of a human life. For me, the value of life is absolute, with no concessions. It's not negotiable.

You've got all my autographed balls,
