Brian said he would give me an opportunity. I feel like an idiot coming in and getting injured right off the bat before playing and getting a chance to show anything. I'm in a tough position. I want to make them have to make a decision, and time is running out.

What I want to do is just get myself in shape here. I came to the best spot in the American League. It's great here. They have their own practice facility.

We need to have a paradigm shift. What we've been doing hasn't been working.

That's the way the game is played now, games are won on the power play and today was no different.

I think we put a pretty reasonable offer on the table this week and they objected to it.

I was real proud of our guys and their tenacity and staying together after we were down 12.

We knew they were a very, very good basketball team coming in. Stew does a fantastic job, and they are a very efficient basketball team, especially on the offensive end.
