It's a huge home run under the circumstances the last couple of days, with what my mom went through. She wanted me to get here and not miss any games.

He?s been phenomenal. He?s been a huge contributor for us and a big lift.

We had a Saturday day game, and we went out, and I had dinner and a couple beers and went home to bed, ... It was hot. By the third or fourth inning, I wasn't sure where I was.

She didn't want me to miss two days considering the players that we have out and how banged up we are now. Typical baseball mom, she's taking it for the team.

Some days, it's a real challenge to get the offense going. Our game relies on pitching, defense and timely hitting.

In extenuating circumstances, we can ask the board to go above the five years. But we can't do anything like with what Kimberly does.
