It's getting better and better. You know, guys are feeling more comfortable and they are not afraid to speak up and be a leader. I mean, our team, we have 25 players, we have about 25 leaders, too. So whatever someone says, people listen.

I'm not sure when it's going to be feeling good, ... I know what my job is, though. ... I'll just keep battling and keep working through it.

First of all, what do you guys think about this? Obviously, keep on snapping away.

We were shown all the scenarios after the game and we were kind of in awe. A lot of guys thought it was runs scored, so we thought maybe we'd have to go out and try and beat South Africa by a lot of runs. But it's runs allowed, and the South Africa score does not count. That's strange, too.

I was starting to feel the groove again, and then I had this minor setback, ... But I'm not going to feel dissuaded by my performance. As long as the team wins, that's OK. Unfortunately, they seem to coincide.

I am finally healthy, I can honestly say that now, ... My shoulder's not bothering me. So now I'm not walking around with a scowl on my face like I've been for the past month or so. I'm happy and excited about this weekend, and may the best team win.
