So those things dictated how I ended up looking.

I'm here as an infielder and a ballplayer and wherever they put me in, that's where I'll be. Second base is my spot and that's what I'll compete for in the spring and hopefully there will be enough people who want to see the shortest infield combination in baseball.

It damaged what is called the structure course. It's a base course, not the top layer.

I thought the way they approached today and how they played was a great way to respond to my challenge.

Juan has a pretty good idea of when to run. There were quite a few guys who had green lights last year. It's just a matter of them running.

John has been pretty consistent all along and did well for American Legion last summer. He's got to be a leader for us and wreak havoc on the bases. He's a good athlete who can run and throw, but he's got to refine his skills. He's fast but not a great base runner yet. He can throw but can be more accurate. This is a big year for him to get noticed by colleges. The thing I love about John is he works his butt off to get better.

Josh had one of his best offensive days when he played second base at Davis. And whether it's psychological or not, we tried it out just to see, and he did well today. He looked much better at the plate.

I think the first year in Boston can leave you feeling like you need to take some time off and you need to get away a little bit.

He couldn't go out. I think he used the word 'hermit.' We know David doesn't like being a hermit. I think he'll need to go to his ranch and get away and think about that, how to deal with the hermit lifestyle.

I think with an attendee base like ours, there is a wide range of needs. Some attendees just want an economical experience and others want a larger gambling experience.

Overall we saw some good things and some bad things, just like you do every scrimmage, ... The good thing is that I feel like we're farther along at this point than we've been in the past, mainly because we have a better understanding of our base offense and defense. The players are comfortable with what we're trying to do, so now we just have to try to make sure everyone is healthy and ready to go against Florida.

Our U.S. DirecTV business also drove our EBITDA growth in the quarter. We have reached the point where the EBITDA generated by our large subscriber base is outpacing the marketing costs associated with our record subscriber growth. We expect our U.S. DirecTV business to continue to deliver positive EBITDA that accelerates yearly on a going-forward basis.

Our Vestige kitchen and bath faucets are a perfect example of this trend. Stylistically, it has a very traditional, classic feel, but little details make it more luxurious. A geometric base and curved, flowing spout provide a touch of sophistication.
