You get a four-spot with Todd pitching and you're in good shape. He hasn't given up more than four runs in a couple of years.

That's our best hitting production of the year. Good timing, huh. If we continue to get that with the kind of pitching and solid defense we had to day we'll be tough.

What I want to do is just get myself in shape here. I came to the best spot in the American League. It's great here. They have their own practice facility.

It's given us good opportunity to get back to the basics and get in better shape. We're practicing every day except Christmas and New Year.

Given the fact there are multiple individuals vying for a spot on the ballot as an independent, verifying every signature is the surest way to protect the integrity of our elections and confirm the validity of a candidate's name on the ballot.

I don't want to say anything, because Todd and I are good friends.
