Our lineup's been thin all year, ... We played without three guys for three or four out of six months. We'll be all right.

I spend probably six months of the year working outdoors three or four days a week.

After the juice is pressed, it ferments a little while, and in essence, after three to six months you have some fermented grape juice, which could be this nasty wine. The way they make it into Champagne is by adding sugar and yeast.

I had a lot of maintenance my first year because we had six outfielders, so there were three guys every day who were pissed off because they weren't in the lineup. Last year we started with three first baseman and there was maintenance there. They were all veteran guys. This year we haven't had that.

If the other guys had played better all year, I'm sure (McNamara being called overrated) never would have come up.

It´s definitely an advantage. We´ve got guys that have played together the last three or four years. A lot of teams really juggled their rosters, ... The core of our team is back, most of the team is back. We´re sitting good right now.
