I don't know what the deal is. It's pretty sore.

We're pretty confident this year. If everybody shoots in the 70s (the Governors can qualify for the Group A state meet.) Everybody can have their bad days, but you've just got to keep your head in it.

It was nice to keep the hitting streak alive. But I would have been happy going 0-for-3 and getting a 4-1 win.

We need to step it up another notch before Wednesday. It seems like we've been sitting around on our heels the past few weeks playing not to get hurt. When you do that, you wind up playing not to win, and we have to clean that up before our first playoff game.

Pedro throws a lot like Livan (Hernandez). He'll throw off-speed on any pitch in the count. He pitched great. We couldn't do anything.

I'm sure he's enjoying this. Having him here is a lot of fun for me.
