These guys are a bunch of hard-nose players who will get after it and they hate to lose. That is something you cannot teach or coach, you have to be born with it.

It was one of those games you'd hate to see either team lose. It was a defensive battle. Keeping them off the boards was a major emphasis and we lost the game on an offensive rebound.

People love to hate. I have a love-hate relationship with the world. The world loves to hate me.

Brett did a good job pitching for us in the win, but we had a little trouble when he got behind in the count for a couple of innings. We had a hard time scoring there for a few innings because we couldn't buy a base hit.

Curtis Martin pitched a good game in the loss, but we weren't able to generate any offense behind him to get the win.

We didn't show up to play Valley.
