It's good to beat a good team. This was the first game we've had multiple hits; maybe it will carry over into conference play.

That was one of the best pitching performances of the year. We had another complete game out of him which was a plus. I'm proud of the way the guys battled and hit the ball hard at times, but we couldn't sneak it through anywhere.

I've got some good players with some good attitudes who just hung in there and did the best they could.

It's going to be a tough league but probably not much tougher than where we've been.

Remember that you are an Englishman, and have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life.

The real fact is that I could no longer stand their eternal cold mutton.
