You put pressure on yourself when you fail to prepare or you haven't put your all in it. That's when you've got pressure because you're looking around and trying to find ways to do things. If you prepare well and know them better than they know themselves, then there's no pressure. |
You realize that after the games, it doesn't matter how many people are screaming and yelling for them. If they don't have family, they don't have a reason to come out (of the locker room) and really take it in. When you see that, it's really evident how important family really is. |
You talk about momentum swings. That one could be really devastating with the pitcher getting a hit and then all of a sudden we come back into the dugout tied. We didn't knock the cover off the ball after that, but certainly it kept it manageable and [gave us] an uplifting feeling. |

You're poking around in dumpsters, driving around places that are not even a mile from your house. My eyes were really opened to the fact that we really do have working poor here in Plano. A lot of people think that this is nothing but a large Highland Park, and it's not like that. |
