Karl Berron
I was concerned about that inning because it was like all of a sudden we can't get the bunt down, then we execute the hit-and-run and we get in the same situation and then all of a sudden we can't get any runs out of it. It was frustrating. We missed a squeeze play, so we've got to get better on those types of plays.
Brooks Shumake
We remain positive based on economic activity and E&P spending; we're also positive on 2007 but see some risk to E&P spending given the potential squeeze on returns (with) a possible moderation in commodity prices in '07. Visibility remains too good to worry too early, however.
Jim Wicklund
What's different about this club, when you have this many setbacks, it's usually part of why you don't win or you barely squeeze by in the last week of the season with a good but not great record.

It was a tough game for both teams, because we were both coming back from spring break. I'm very proud of the way we played. We hit the ball well, ran the bases well and executed some nice squeeze plays. We also hit for some power.
