You can't really make any excuses. But it's tough when you can't see any live pitching in practice and the other teams have been seeing it for weeks.

We're a better team than our record shows. As we start to see some pitching, I know we can win some of these games against the Otero's and even beat teams like UNC.

Today was absolutely as good as I can play. And I was scared to death. I played a couple practice rounds leading up to this event and hacked it all over the place. I didn't even break 90 in my practice rounds. This is a dream come true for a hacker like me.

Politics, as a practice, whatever its profession, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.

That smell of freshly cut grass makes me think of Friday night football in high school. The smell of popcorn and cigar smoke reminds me of the stadium. The cutting of the grass reminds me of the August practice.

I love the smell of rain, and I love the sound of the ocean waves.
