We've been working extremely hard, have had a lot of extra practice time. We've got cameras in the cages to help us with hitting. It's exciting.

[Saturday] I didn't get any hits but mechanic-wise I felt good. So I took [Saturday's] game and just made a slight adjustment and brought it into this game.

Everybody's ecstatic about our start right now. It's a great start to get all our home wins heading to Georgia. It's just a confidence booster.

We have major concerns about stocking animals for hunting. This practice should be banned.

The last time we did this concert (in Cape Ann) was for an outreach program, but we never did a public performance. The fact that we're doing it for the public this time is really exciting.

Absolutely! In fact, that's the one subject we fight about. It's the one time that we really get genuinely pissed off at each other. I think it gets a little bit easier as time goes on now because we pick and choose our battles. If one of us is so absolutely, totally, head-over-heels loves a song -- just believes in it wholeheartedly -- the other two will give it a try. And that's all you can ask for.
