When we get 2,000 pounds (of food), we spend $320. When you think about a box of cereal that could sell on the shelf for three dollars, we get it for 16 cents.

We were about one-third into the year and we had maybe 65 to 70 percent of our budget receipts ... for the year. That made us feel good.

This year it's gone down to less than $3,500 (per month).

We're always happy to receive gifts of money, which is the most flexible kind of gift. We can buy food with it at probably as cheap a cost as can be.

When you consider the nine players in the batting order, this team is a little better than the 1993 team.

I haven't seen excitement in this ballpark like last (Saturday) since Stanton Cameron hit that three-run homer to beat San Bernardino 3-2.
