We're still in the hunt for a region championship. We have to have some help, but, if we beat Opelika, we're right back in this thing.

If they get on and score some runs, then everyone else seems to follow them. They have been starting for three years and now what is expected of them.

but when somebody comes in to invest $1.2 million, you let them do what they need to make this work.

He had a great year last year. He was real steady at shortstop and at the plate. We're expecting big things from him again.

The only thing that did was make a bunch of angry Raiders.

I wouldn't be surprised if you saw him close a couple of games. We wouldn't want to throw him more than an inning, though.

Josh was a little off tonight. He was probably trying a little too hard because he knows a lot of those guys. But Matt did exactly what he's capable of doing. He came in and gave us a good four innings.

I think they're still the same Shaw they've been in the past. And I suspect they've had some good practices over there this week as well as we've had over here.

I might have seen Opelika with a better offense and a better defense in previous years. But I've never seen them with a combination of the two. They're doing great in all facets of the game.

That's the way our schedule works. We felt like we'd play five of the six best teams on our schedule the first half of the season.

We had our chances early but couldn't take advantage. Then you have those errors and it just magnifies everything.

We had a plan going in that we were going to play certain kids and do certain things and so forth. Anytime you line up and play, of course you want to win, but the main thing was to play certain kids and play for some situations.

We want to break that trend and get it back to the way it's supposed to be, the home team winning.

We're trying to get the highest seed we possibly can.

We lost all our pitching from last year, but we got a team ERA of like 1.1 right now and I just never imagined that.

We had the bases loaded with no outs and the number four, five and six hitters coming up to the plate. What more could you ask for? We didn't get it done.

We're going to try to win this one and even it out.

Enterprise came in with a great game plan, and we just couldn't stop them. We tried to match them in the first half and found success throwing the ball, because they were bound and determined not to let us run. But they are a fine football team that just beat us.

I've never had a player that hot in a one week period. He just amazed all the coaches up there.

The share price appreciation of each of these companies has significantly outperformed its respective industry groups, the S&P 500 and Cendant, giving greater credence to our view that the aggregate valuations of the four proposed new companies will exceed that of Cendant today,

You're never proud when you lose, but we gave great effort. But they have an outstanding football team and that's probably one of the best defenses we'll see all year.

You're never proud when you lose, but I thought we gave great effort.

It's just getting them showers, someplace to get some relief from the heat, because they got nothing down here.

It was big for our team to not get down after letting them come back on us. For us to be up 7-2 and let them back in it could have been bad.

It's a long season. We just need to respond and get back to work.

That probably means more to me than anything, that these guys who played for me wanted to come back and be a part of the program.

It kind of hit on me then that this was something special.

They've probably impacted my life more than I have them.

The field is just too slick. They got through it, but really the last two innings it was too slick to play on.

I'm expecting another big crowd down there. I just hope our fans will go down there and support us.

I'll always remember this win. It was an important (area) game for us, but seeing all the guys I coached through the years - that's when it hit me.

I didn't know any of this was going to happen. But I kept seeing some of these (former players) come in - this is special.

I figured that was the best way to approach it. Josh wasn't his sharpest tonight, but he got the job done.

I believe joining JDS Uniphase will help us maximize market penetration during the transition from fixed wavelength to tunable solutions. The acquisition gives us access to high-volume manufacturing capability and expanded sales channels. Adding Agility's tunable lasers to JDS Uniphase's family of wavelength management modules creates a one-stop shop for anyone wanting to assemble an agile optical network.

He's not going to stay on the pace he's at now. That's just not feasible, but I think his work habits are good enough that he won't go into that (slump) like a lot of hitters do.

You've got to have good coaches around you in football and baseball to be able to do both. I've been lucky from that standpoint.

All we tried to tell the city was that if they were going to charge the citizens for mandatory trash, they need to clean up their own mess.
