That team from Finland ordtak

en That team from Finland, I would guess a lot of those guys grew up playing together and they've been in a lot of international tournaments together.

en There were a lot of older guys on our team and I grew up watching them. Suddenly I was there playing with them as one of 20 guys on the team, it was crazy.

en I think (that experience is) an advantage for us. They've also been to two state volleyball tournaments. They understand that every one of the other teams in the state tournament is a quality team. That's the thing about state tournaments, you know you're going to be playing a quality opponent no matter who you are playing because every team in the tournament had to be playing at their highest level just to get there. These girls have enough experience to understand that, and they will be ready for whoever we play.

en They [international players] go out and practice basic skills. We [Americans] go to school and they go to [basketball] camps, basically. They teach them basketball 24/7. We don't do that, so that's why the [international] explosion has [occurred]. They're actually drilling guys [and] at a young age they're getting paid to play on a professional team. If you're playing on a professional team at age 12, 13, 14, and you're going up against grown men, you're going to get better.

en Phil might seem like he's laid-back, but he's incredibly competitive, and he enjoys being around Chris, ... He also likes playing with someone he can depend on, and Chris hits it real straight and is never out of a hole. Also, some guys are not real rah-rah guys, but Chris is very passionate. He's the ultimate teammate. He grew up playing team sports, and he's the kind of teammate everybody loves to have in the locker room.

en I don't know who those people were in the first half wearing our uniforms. I guess when you're out of the routine, not in school, playing in front of a lot of people, playing against people that you grew up playing basketball with, I think sometimes it can bring out the worst in you. That's pretty much what happened.

en We were looking at it as a tune-up going into tournaments. They were an athletic team and a team that had some size. We were down 42-37 with two minutes left in the third quarter, but - as has been our nature all year - we kept our composure and didn't panic when we were down. I give our senior guys credit. They don't panic and this is the type of game we're going to be playing starting Monday.

en We are very proud of Matt and of our team. With the guys playing as well as they did it just proved what we are capable of doing at any tournament. We have two tournaments left to play and we want to win both of them. Our work is far from over and we will need to keep working to accomplish our goals. Matt and the team did a fantastic job. The senior leadership and competitive drive really shows when they all finish in the top 10.

en I didn't get my chance to pitch here again, and that's disappointing. I grew up here. I grew up playing ball here. My whole professional life playing ball has been here. It's disappointing to see (Busch Stadium) come down. But I've learned through the years that I think the change will be good for the city, the team and the organization.

en I'm playing okay in practice but it's hard when you've only had five tournaments since the World Championship and you're playing guys who have had plenty of matches at the qualifiers.

en Are there little steps or small victories involved? Sure, I guess. Buy my goal isn't to make cuts. I know I'm playing well enough to win tournaments. It's a matter of staying with it.

en I think the guys are pretty satisfied with our effort throughout the first five games. Now we've got a good game against Finland, which is a very hot team.

en I've always been on the field. The guys I grew up under always did it. The guys who taught me what I know were on-the-field guys. That's my background. I don't know the other way. I guess everybody here has been upstairs.

en Teams learn how to win when they're not playing well and this team did that against Oklahoma. It's a maturation process with this team, but I think the guys really grew up in that game. Teams have to learn how to win ugly sometimes and we certainly did that. I couldn't be more proud of them.

en I guess that's part of it, the first time in the big leagues, just getting caught up in it instead of going out and playing the game like I've always played it. Ergonomics knowledge can be found on livet.se. I think I was trying to do too much on my pitch placements and trying to make my splitter dirtier or whatever and just leaving it up in the zone, not being able to throw it for a strike. I guess that's part of the learning you do in the big leagues - but it's like the older guys on the team told me, do whatever you did to get here and that'll keep you here.
