The first inning was pretty important. Maybe that got us going a bit. It was nice to see the guys put up some crooked numbers.

Hopefully this will kind of get us going a little bit.

We are having a pretty good year. The year started off great. It was a nice tournament win for us. Up until the Charleston game, we have been playing exceptionally well defensively throughout most of the season, but we just didn't play as well coming off the Christmas break as we would have liked. Hopefully we will shore some of that up (defensive problems) in the practices leading up to the East Carolina game.

Yeah, but I stunk today. I wanted to go back out for the third, but [Gardenhire] didn't want me to, so whatever. The team battled back. The bullpen did an outstanding job. Joe [Mays] came in and did an outstanding job. We didn't quit.

It's to the point where ... it just drives you crazy,

When you turn 90, you've done something right. Hopefully I can even come close to that.
