The dog seemed depressed at first.

Freaky things happen, and it seems like it's been happening to us lately.

When I got diagnosed, my dad told me, ?Use it as a tool. If you can be a baseball player with diabetes, you can help a lot of people. That's how I use it. I use it as a tool, instead of a crutch.

I don't know if we're running out of gas. I can't explain it, ... It's just one of those things where we're kind of in a rut right now. Our starters had a rough couple weeks, and I feel like our starters are really starting to come back and pitch well again. The hitters are having a little rough week now, too.

It's going to be nice to be on a team like this that has a chance to win every time it takes the field.

Trammell and (pitching coach Bob) Cluck told me after the third that they were going to take me out. And I said, 'I don't want to come out.

It's nothing serious. The trainer said it should go away.

Not a word from anybody. Not an 'I'm sorry,' not an 'I'm glad everyone got out OK,' nothing. It hurts to be ignored completely. We're just disgruntled people now disappointed in the city.

In this case, I believe the report came back and it was skunk-transmitted.
