It hurts. It hurts whenever one of our heroes comes home, but not alive. This is the first one (soldier) from the Raymondville area.

Everybody needs to be made aware that we have our heroes they serve from each and every community here in south Texas as well as throughout the U.S. and we pray that another soldier just doesn't die.

Heroes don't wear diapers. It's just not cool.

They are hometown heroes. I know they are going to be excited about coming home, but it's not about us against Steve Blake and Juan Dixon. We are trying to get the win and get back to .500.

I missed 2? months, but my knee is fine. The only bad year I can say is last year because I didn't pitch that much. Bad year, good year, I take it because for me it's baseball.

After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, oil companies were asked to help Americans in need. We are happy to respond, by offering people here in Philadelphia help this winter, and we hope that no one has to make sacrifices to stay warm.
