When I went down there, I thought that would be kind of a cool number to get to, but I didn't know how attainable it would be, given the period of time. It's fun, and hopefully I can tack a few more on here.

I enjoy this role, but I don't think it was a silver lining because it was a grueling 12 months of rehab before that. I'd much rather have just stayed healthy and continue doing what I did before I got hurt. But I got a second life, and I've just tried to make the most out of that opportunity by preparing every time and get ready and stay focused every time that ninth inning comes up.

Stranger things have happened,

I had never thought much of Rutgers; I was going to go to Northwestern, Pittsburgh or Wake Forest. My high school coach had to talk me into [attending].

I thought that Alex Brown was outstanding. I was very pleased with the way he controlled the line-outs at the end, but we should have got our reward earlier.

I don't know that we do. I had thought ours worked well, but I had never examined it too closely. A lot of media people will be looking for a case that might make Texas Governor George Bush think twice about what he's doing.
