Professional baseball is a dream, but for what they (the Angels) were trying to offer, it wasn't nearly enough to get me away from a tradition like this.

We wanted to go with something crazy, so we decided to go with the bright red.

With the real estate property and valuations continually increasing in that area we just can't continue to operate that kind of retail store. We weren't able to secure another lease that was acceptable to us and acceptable to the owners.

I think this is the biggest game of the year for us. It's huge. I thought there was a big difference between 1-1 and 0-2, and there's an even bigger difference between 0-3 and 1-2.

We definitely weren't playing our best game in the beginning and that showed. I don't know if that was from the layoff or whatever, but it was our fault.

I think the older guys on the team have really showed great leadership roles so far. (Freshmen are) intimidated a little bit. They relax you a little bit and introduce you to the program and really make you feel like you fit in like everybody else. Like you've been here three or four years.

The incoming freshman class is unbelievable. We've got kids coming from all over the nation that are top caliber and will help our chances of going to the CWS (College World Series) again.

After each of our first two games were over, we tried to get it out of our system and get ready for our next game. You're always sour when you come off a loss and now we're going on our third week off. We want to get these losses out of our heads and the only way we can do that is by playing.
