I've always felt like it was important to be involved in the community, ... Over the years it has evolved as we've met different people and experienced things.

Those things have really been put on the back burner of everybody's mind in dealing with the referendum. We're going to get financial things squared away and get back to the business of education.

This was crucial. Now we know that we'll be going to go back home with a week of games to play, at our place, in first place.

He's been incredible all year. From the latter part of spring training on, he's been a machine. I've never seen a guy with as limited number of at-bats put up the numbers he's been putting up, with consistency and in key situations.

It doesn't matter. I was willing to trade him an autograph or two, but it's not like it's going to be going for $1 million on eBay.
