You can talk theory and situation all you want. But what these kids need is to get more game-speed experience.

Sure we have a lot of young kids, but most of them can play ball and the rest have the desire to learn. We've just had weather problems, which have cut down our practice time.

It was like a youth center to recruit kids to get them off the streets.

Our theory in the Internet is buy the street, not the store, ... We'd rather own the street instead of just an individual store on the street. And Earthlink certainly fits that bill. And again, relative to the other stocks, it's the cheapest in the group.

That makes me happy and gives us something to look forward to down the line. Baseball's a game that needs players to have repetition before they can get better and a lot of these kids are starting from step one.

The first game was the usual story for us, a lot of being young mistakes and mercy ruling us, but the second game was almost completely different.
