Not like it used to be. It didn't seem like we were excited -- this whole ballpark just seemed quiet all night to me.

Men who believe that they are accomplishing something by speaking speak in a different way from men who believe that speaking is a waste of time. Bobby Shaftoe learned most of his practical knowledge – how to fix a car, butcher a deer, throw a spiral, talk to a lady, kill a Nip – from the latter type of man. For them, trying to do anything by talking is like trying to pound in a nail with a screwdriver. Sometimes you can see the desperation spread over such a man’s face as he listens to himself speak.

We?re excited. It?s going to be an awesome week for Toledo and the event at the ballpark is something new and different.

After this, we'll walk into the stadium out there and it'll seem quiet.

I am happy with the personnel, ... We've got the potential to be much, much better than we showed this fall. It's going to boil down to who is most consistent day to day.

We set a miserable tone from the start.
