Right between the championship game and Christmas break he took his visit to the Air Force Academy. I felt like at that point he was really impressed with them and liked them a lot.

They tried to take him right out of the ballgame. To his credit he didn't force it. (His teammates) can't rely on him to do everything. When people see what his teammates can do, they have to decide if you want to play Johnny that way.

If everything goes right, maybe it will be done by Christmas of this year. Everybody is extremely excited and everybody's optimistic. It can't be reopened quick enough for us.

Right now everybody is pitching to him and they are throwing it in there where he can hit it. There's so much of a difference between the way he hits the ball and the way everybody else hits the ball.

We've played some good teams and some teams that weren't as good, and he's hit well against them all. Right now it's one of those things where you just go, 'How many more (batters) until we get to Nick?' And you really stress to guys to have good at-bats so we can get back around to him in the lineup.

The idolaters have no right to visit the mosques of Allah while bearing witness to unbelief against themselves, these it is whose doings are null, and in the fire shall they abide.
