I never closed my practice - I just did not take any new commissions until recently.

We practiced against pressure all week in practice. We were going against seven and eight guys in practice just to get ready.

Every year we've gone out (to California), it's just a battle to score runs. We practice in the morning for a couple hours, play a game and then if we need to, practice again. It's like two-a-days for football. When we come back, we should know what we're going to do.

You don't have time to meet. We practice every minute we can and then we send them back up the hill.

We've been working hard in practice, and that's transferring over to the games.

It's hard for me to watch practice and it's hard for me to not get coached, knowing the following weekend I'm not going to be out there and my family is not going to be in the stands watching me. There are a bunch of negatives you can look at, but you've really got to stay positive.
