With the schedule and the number of games left and the way the teams are matched up, it's going to be a fight the rest of the year. That's the way it should be. That's what this time of year is all about, the excitement of baseball and trying to win the pennant.
With what we had this year, I was hoping to end .500. When we were 2-6, I checked out schedule out and I said, 'I don't know if we can pull that off.' But our kids played their hearts out.
We knew when the schedule came out (last December) we were going to play the team that won the Super Bowl, on the road, and that it's going to be a challenge, ... Every week is a challenge. It's a great opportunity for our guys.
We knew this would be a very difficult meet. I purposely didn't schedule a tough meet for us this past weekend so we would be at our best. And I couldn't be much happier with our performance today. We beat a very good Owen team.
We're still going to be able to accomplish our goals for a good station configuration for shuttle retirement. In our schedule and planning we assumed that we'd have some shuttle problems along the way.
We're seeing stronger bookings and therefore have had less of an impact on our schedule than we saw last year.
We're right on schedule with where we should be. I'm very pleased with how things are going.
We're right on schedule to make it. Our goal is to get 100,000-plus if we can do that, and I'm hoping we'll be able to do that. But we're doing very well.
We're not good enough to have a letdown. We're just going to have to bounce back. We need to develop more consistency and maturity. We have a tough schedule every day is a new challenge.
We've got more to do there yet. There are still things we didn't ask at the first meeting. It's not something we need to rush into. A lot of it is going to depend on Nick's schedule because he has his own thing to worry about now.
