James has been playing unbelievable in practice. The movement is key to him and he's feeling more confident, but he hasn't played much on grass and it's to be determined. Andy has a lot more confidence because he's won a lot of matches on grass.

I think it has been blown out of proportion that the grass was meant to make them uncomfortable. It was all about our being comfortable. It's the surface Andy is most comfortable on and I think he's the second best grass court player in the world.

Lacrosse is a space game, in terms of spreading the offense and running the fast break. You can't really get that in the gym. We got double the grass time that we've had up to this point.

I think that could take away some of the charm. Warming up on the infield grass was part of soaking up the environment.

It gets to be expensive. In the summer there is plenty of grass for them to graze on, but as soon as the first big freeze hits there's not much there.

It has been a very expensive feeding winter. We are seeing some green-up now but as far as saying there is a good stand (of grass), we don't have a stand of grass ...

Massu and (Fernando) Gonzalez who like to stay back on the baseline. They serve and even stay back. Obviously, grass is the best situation for us; it puts them at a little bit of a disadvantage and we'd be hitting a lot of volleys and turn it into an aerial battle, which I think we could win.

I was expecting it to skip off the grass faster. If I catch it, the inning is over.

I think he did lose his footing somewhere in the turn because as I was coming around the turn I saw that I had to hold out a little bit for the distance and all of a sudden it was very long.

It's been a long circuit and there's not a lot of grass out there so he had a little slip and under the lights it's a little spooky and he lost a little heart out there. But he's never done that before.

It allows the grass to regenerate unto itself.

Just because a county may drop its burn ban, though, doesn't mean that all risk of escaped fires is gone and that residents can throw all caution to the wind with their outdoor burning.

Its great grass at Anfield, professional grass.

The amazing thing is we've had no jumping pits. We've been jumping in the grass and stuff like that. We're always strong in the relays though. I'm really proud of the kids' efforts.

That was a very difficult play. For one or two innings I had to realize that it was raining, that the grass was wet, and that when you have synthetic turf wet it is difficult to catch a ball and grasp it very well. I threw it home and I had to do it at full blast, not just an easy throw, a weak throw, but I had to do it full blast, and it worked out well.

That was the play of the game. It was raining, the grass was wet, and when you have wet synthetic turf it is difficult to catch a ball and grasp it very well. I threw it home as hard as I could, because a soft throw wouldn't work, and it worked out well.

We have three home games in a week coming up and you need two weeks more after that to let a new pitch settle. If you play on it before then the new grass can move around and be just as difficult.

Those were wonderful moments, ... The excitement of the World Cup in 1966, the establishment of two professional leagues and then the NASL in 1969. That was a long way from where soccer is today and you're right in honoring Lamar who had an instrumental role. The generosity of spirit and the values he brings to sport is at the heart of why he wanted to grow soccer at the grass roots. It's fitting it's the U.S. Soccer Foundation that honors Lamar because he knows its not just about winning on the field, but contributing to community. Being here tonight is one of the highlights of my professional life.
