I was actually lost in Beirut on the way home.

The home run shouldn't have happened. I left the ball up. I threw a bad pitch on a count that he was looking for. The other two runs I should've had the ball hit up the middle.

I listen to the phone-ins on the way home and I know how the fans feel.

Once you're halfway home, you know that you can probably get the rest of the way there.

There is nothing like competing before a home crowd.

We showed them newspaper cuttings to illustrate the reaction back home and they appreciated what was at stake.
