Give Tim Grieve credit. He saw a great arm, and he saw what work he needed to do.

You can't grieve too much ? you're down two infielders right now. You just have to try and work your way through it, that's all.

I saw the puck was loose, so in that situation you just start digging. Whoever touched it last, it doesn't matter. Jason has a better celebration than I do, so I'm glad they gave it to him.

It is people like Tim and his writing that made me want to get into this business. Everything he did was with integrity and class. He was fair in his criticism and in his praise as well.

For the first game out as a starter, I like what I saw. You see what kind of arm he had, and you see how he can fit balls in there. He had three interceptions that will drag his passing efficiency down, but I like the guts of the kid. I think he can play. But he has to do a better job of organizing and managing the offense out there, too, and he know that, and I hope he does that next week.

The mayor was out with work crews last night and saw no damaged homes,
