Some of the guys have never stepped foot in a big-league stadium. It's an exhibition game and more of a test for everybody involved in Busch Stadium, so it serves a purpose in both ways.

I can't imagine being 19 years old and playing in a major league game - even if it's an exhibition game. He's going to be outstanding.

This league is getting big. We have way more 300-pound guys than ever before. That's not to say all the people in athletics who have died are 300-pound guys. There are so many different reasons.

Our big guys really stepped it up late and took it to the hoop. Early on they were in too much of a hurry, and it showed. They are much more polished than that, and fortunately for us, they were able to get the job done when it counted.

The results are there in St. Louis. We're not gonna light up Baseball America, but if we continue sending St. Louis our players, then we're successful.

We saw about 200,000 homes that need to be bulldozed. It's ridiculous. We saw houses with cars still on top of them. We saw a two-story house with a tractor-trailer upside-down on top of it.
