If everyone plays their best and we still drop one, that's no problem. As long as we can hit the ball, we usually win.

We played at a really high level the night before and came out this afternoon flat and unfocused. We didn't hit the ball at the plate, and they did. There were bright spots and some good plays made in the field (by infielders Knapp and Lewis and first baseman Barnes). We had one bad inning and then played fair the rest of the game.

It was good to get a W under our belts after the tough (season-opening) loss to Prattville. We hit well and had notable contributions from everybody in getting the win. It was a total team effort, which is what it's all about.

We played good, sound ball tonight. No throwing errors or fielding errors.

There are very few girls who could kick your [butt] and make you want to kiss them at same time.

What remains constant for me, during the last 15 years, has been the conviction that the cold war was a calamity for the entire world, and that it can be justified by no consideration of theory, nor by any supposed national interest.
