I don't get too caught up in what the previous year did or all the numbers. You talk about the things you can control, and going up to Vermont and bringing your 'A' effort and 'A' energy is what we have to do. We need to make sure we go in and do some damage.

The governor doesn't recall this article, but he's been very clear that he did not believe that then and he doesn't believe that now. He doesn't remember sitting down for the article.

St. Albans is going to be outrageously tough. I think they've got the best pitching staff anywhere (in Vermont), and if they can get people on, they can keep the other team off base with their pitching alone.

Dan Brush

The time has come for the court to take a second look. What we had in Vermont that prompted this law was that there was a moment when the legislature and the citizenry felt that they were on the brink of slipping into the kind of special interest money- dominated politics that they saw at the national level and they did not want to see this happening to their state.

It really depends what you want to get out of your indoor program. The sport has only been in Vermont for 15 years, so it's still relatively new.
