Everything was almost the opposite (of the first game). I couldn't think of any positives to say in the locker room other than, 'It's one game. We get to play again tomorrow (today).' We did not react very well.

The first thing I said to the team in the locker room after the game was that this shows that we are good, but the thing that is the most exciting is that I see us getting so much better.

I don't think any point was proven. We played well the first game and came out ahead. We played well (Tuesday) and came out ahead. At this point in time in the season, we are just trying to play good baseball.

It doesn't mean that we hit on 100 percent, that doesn't mean that every guy that enters the locker room is an angel. But that doesn't cause you to waver from the fact that you still deem it important, and you still look for it and you fight to get it.

The first game is always interesting. We're going to find out a lot about where our team is. As for Fair Haven, I know they have improved from last year. We're not taking anything for granted.

We'll start Craig. Marcus [Williams] really likes having Craig in the game. It's almost like Khalid [El-Amin] always wanting Rip [Richard Hamilton] in the game - it's someone to take the burden of ball handling off him.
