You have to go up there and just battle. I found some holes today and managed to get a couple hits. If you get intimidated, then you're already beat. I just made sure I went up there and had a lot of confidence.

I just tried to come out and have some fun today. Obviously these guys are pretty good competition at the Triple-A level. My only mind-set out there was to have a good time.

One through nine, we don't have a guy in the lineup that is an easy out.

I tried to treat it like a regular game, and not stress too much about competition or the fact that these guys are Triple-A ball players. I just wanted to come in here and have some fun, and I still wanted to have some quality at-bats before this weekend.

We started six sophomores on (each) side of the ball today.

Think of what's happened to the real estate market between 2003 and today. Real estate is not anything we have any control over.
