One person is not going to put us over the hump for Sunday. We know we all have to play. We've all got to bring it. We're still tied for the conference lead. We will play Sunday, and it's up to us to regroup and refocus. Sunday's coming and we have to be ready.

Obviously (winning on the road) is a long time coming. The passion with which this team has been playing as of late, whether it's in practice or in games, is really something that's going to be the determining factor in whether we're able to get those wins on the road. I think tonight we were unfortunate to be tied up twice, but to continue to come back and continue to fight (showed that we were) passionate about the effort we were giving.

My contract is tied to the City of Boston's wholesale pricing. So it's whoever has the lowest pricing above Boston costs. That usually ends up being a two-year contract, but because of the dynamic of gasoline costs, you can't lock into a price,

Now the players have a vested interest in growing the sport because their salaries are tied to revenue, so everyone is pulling the same rope. It was almost as if we had to hit rock bottom until we started building back up. I firmly believe we would not have all the positive things we have if we did not go through a year without the sport. So to me, if that was the price tag that we had to pay, it was absolutely worth it.

Now that we're tied in points with 33 games left, we've got as good an opportunity as we've ever had to finish ahead of them. Against a team like Detroit, that gives you some confidence to go forward. There's still a long way to go, but (the two wins) sure don't hurt.

I don't know what it was, but we played an excellent first half up until the last two minutes. Manteo did a good job in the second half getting some second and third shots, and they hung around until they got that spurt, and when they tied it and took the lead, we got a little tense.

I don't know why that's occurring. It's time to take a serious look at our stalled efforts to reduce the number of dropouts. We can and must do better. West Virginia's ability to prosper is directly tied to our ability to produce a well-educated work force.

I didn't have any choice because I had a short bullpen. If we tied the game up, and I'm out of pitchers, where I have to hit for them -- I only have five guys.
