You're always eating fast food and stuff, living in the hotels. You're not getting as probably as much sleep as you should. This home series is huge for us. Just getting a little home field advantage, getting our home fans here is going to be nice.

Last couple games we put up 10 runs or so. We're going to try to do that again.

I think we came into this game with a lot of momentum. Guys were up even in batting practice. We had a good attitude coming into the game and it carried over.

I think what's going to happen is that some of the big boys will see that he can write and draw his own stuff, and that's high quality on both ends.

I think it sets the tone for the whole team. Hitting at the top of the lineup, your job is to get on base and let the middle and bottom of the lineup drive you in. If we can accomplish that, it sets the tone for the game. And if you get on the scoreboard first, it helps a lot.

This has been my run for Bob. It's hard to put yourself in this position but I know it's been well worth doing.
