Games like this are good for us. It will get us ready for next week. It's always good playing the quality competition Althoff provides.

John Book, for his first start of the year, pitched a great game. He gave us a really good effort today on the mound.

Winter X Games Ten (Jan. 28-31) will be the only time international Olympic riders face off before meeting in Italy, and there's no better place to check it out than here. Ride Aspen Highlands during the day (be at the top of Highlands Bowl when ski patrol drops the rope!), then make your way to Buttermilk for the night pipe event. Aspen is made up of four different mountains, so you can see as much or as little of the X Games as you want.

Wizards of the Coast will enable us to significantly expand in the fast-growing games arena, which is a cornerstone of our growth strategy for the new millennium.

We've got some big games in front of us. [The games] will teach us where we have to get to.

It's good for us to see a team like Clinton. Going against a (Class) 4A team early on will show us where we're at and what we need to improve upon.
