It's a bit like telling a three-pack-a-day smoker to give up one cigarette a day.

This new standard is like telling a two-pack-a-day smoker to cut out one cigarette a day.

I wish there wasn't a ban because it's such a hassle. A regular smoker wants a cigarette before bed, and at other times when it's a pain in the ass to drop what you're doing to go outside.

We got a bit of a telling off at halftime. We came out and we were much, much better in the second half.

The salesgirl handed her a bright little wad of cloth that could be roomily stowed in a cigarette pack.

That's what hurt us in the three losses we have, because all three of them were by one run. Early in the season we weren't getting those two-out hits, and now we're getting them. And that's the difference between wins and losses.
