A lot of pressure was really on us to prove something to this town. We know that we won that first game on the field, and we had to prove that 10 minutes of batting practice didn't affect the outcome. |
I never thought we would hit like this. But I'm glad to see that my 400 or so pitches in batting practice and my sore body paid off. |
I was facing some issues by the court saying I had other areas of constitutional duties and responsibilities. They were accusing me of not performing those duties. So, I was trying to redress my existing resources to accommodate all the responsibilities that I face as an elected official, |
I was happy with the way we played. I think we are playing better baseball right now. |
I'm thrilled. I always believed this was a Chicago show. We did the very first reading here in 2003. It's perfect that we're now coming home. |

This is not a good situation for either team. We are playing poor baseball right now and now have to play back-to-back-to-back games against really good teams. We just have to live with it, though. |
We are very optimistic about this season. We have a lot of seniors back and we are very athletic and quick this year. We have a tough schedule and will be tested early on, but we could compete for a district championship and make a run at state. That's our goal. |
We just have to work a lot harder right now. We played good ball at the start of the season, but since the Hanford High game have struggled. |
We knew we could move the ball on them but we just couldn't hold on to it. In the first half we didn't come out in our base (defense) because we thought we had to adjust to what they were doing. |
We're not being as effective as she wants us to be, ... Why would I continue to dedicate my resources to something she wants the sheriff to do? |
Whether it takes two months or two weeks — whatever, |
