It would have been a devastating loss. Now there's 20 games left and every one is important. Fortunately, we came back, and that will make it a little easier to forget.

We talked about how Wauconda was a tough loss and how Woodstock was one of the worst games we played. Win or lose against Barrington, we were going to Consolation C, so we just relaxed and had fun. The kids are enjoying themselves.

I'm happy I finally got through some innings without any trouble. Those are my first two zeroes of the spring.

It's awesome. Finally, maybe he'll get some recognition here as the player he is, because his tendency (in the past) is to get hot at the end of the year. He's just carrying our team right now.

I don't know what other bullpen is better in the major leagues. I really don't. We have four setup guys and one of the best closers in baseball. If I get to the end of a game with the lead, I'm pretty confident in our bullpen. That's the strength of our team.

Every game is a must-win. This time of year, it's life or death right now.
