We've been a fast-starting team for most of the year. It was a comfortable feeling to get out to a big lead. The middle two quarters it seemed like our advantage was between 10 and 13 points, which was close enough, but not far enough ahead.

We've got a year under our belts with the Charger. We're finally starting to get somewhat comfortable with it. We're not totally comfortable.

They'll have a good team this year. They've got good relief pitching and starting pitching now, and they've got some bats.

It's gone up so fast, so quickly. Last year, it was at $1.78, and we were all griping. Now, you hope it doesn't get to $3. If it keeps going up, I don't know how many teams will be able to do too much. You may end up seeing a lot of effects.

We saw some things last year out of him and I think the game is starting to slow down for him. He's starting to show up a little bit. I've been pretty impressed with his last couple of practices.

Luckily, we have had such a good year that I can afford this. I was just not feeling well enough; not 100 percent. We don't know what it is, food poisoning perhaps, but I was not feeling well enough to go race, and the decision was made to sit out this one. We will move on.
