You try to get to that moment when someone can come through. We had one of the best hitters in the state (Manning) up, and he came through.

(Buchanan) made an unbelievable play. He did a great job blocking the plate.

I have a pirate fetish - I just always thought eye patches were sexy.

I think its so cool that you can pick up the guitar and create something that didn't exist 5 minutes ago. You can write something that no ones ever heard before. You have music at your fingertips.
