Mentally, you'd like to prepare yourself to try to go nine, |
Now that I have had this opportunity to sit down and discuss the issues, |
Obviously, they want to keep me. I think we're a better team this year than we were last year, so if you're going to go out on top you might as well do it with a team that you feel good with and this is it. So I told Theo I'd probably just stay. |
