At first, it seemed nothing, but it became as if you are being hit by a hammer. Three hours later, I became unconscious.

Two or three hours later, guys were laughing and joking like nothing happened. I just wanted to get some key points across, say what I felt, and if anybody had anything else to say, speak now or forever hold your peace.

It seemed like we slept through the first three innings and really put ourselves in a big hole. We need to play better ball from the first inning through the seventh, not just sleep-walk and hope things go our way.

It was most of all, safe. There's nothing really that the opposition can get a handle on and hammer the government with in that throne speech.
