I stayed up watching last night, to see if it passed. I think it's great for the team. It'll bring in free agents. Other free agents know that Kansas City is a great town but may have held back because of the other facilities.

I think I learned a lot throughout the year. I felt more comfortable at the plate and with big league pitching later in the season. This year is totally different than last year. I came in last year, my first big league camp, trying to figure things out. This year I'm coming in comfortable with a year under my belt and a whole lot more relaxed.

I think it was. You could see improvement. We scored some runs and pitching was on the plus side. For the older guys, it probably didn't mean to much, but for the younger guys, it was good for us.

We identified the fact that Louisiana citizens would be facing a night on the streets, and that is not acceptable.

Cody pitched really well. It wasn't a great night to pitch; it was kind of cold. But he did real well.

For the most part we executed well for most of the night. But in a two-point game you have it get it done consistently.
