Guys Quotations | Page 9

Wood came out here and beat us. You have to give that guy credit. He really competed and then they had that one big inning. We are still playing well right now; we should be happy to be 9-2. We beat these guys two out of three and now we need to look ahead.

Writing a book is a long and difficult process for me. I'm a slow writer, so I spend the year with Elvis Cole and Joe Pike in my head. I was thinking about this the other day. I wrote the first book in 1987. Literally every day since that time, Elvis and Joe have been in my head. They're always there. I started these guys because I like them.

We're still playing a lot of tennis (in South Carolina). They'll play up to six hours a day, including three hours of lessons every day. It's a good opportunity for the guys to bond and come together as a team.

We're still not real athletic. And even though we've got three or four guys at 6-5, we're still not great leapers. And we've got other weaknesses that I hope other people don't find out about unless they scout well. But we've got a lot of strengths, too.

We're still not confident in what we're doing from game to game. I'm still not sure what I'm going to get from everybody. There's certain guys that I know what I'm going to get, but there's too many guys that I don't.

We're still just a bunch of guys who love to sail.

We were blocking the right guys and Shaun was making the correct cuts,

We were behind going into singles and these guys kept battling. They kept fighting and played some great singles matches. It's a great way to start the season.

We were a young team this year, but it was a good year. We're better than what we showed tonight. But our guys all hustled and didn't give up. We were just ice cold.

We were a young team that just missed on some things last year. This year, most of those guys are back.
