With a $16 million purse, it's pretty damn important. Just a few years ago, we only had a handful of big races that paid big money that you really wanted to win. It was Daytona, the Charlotte 600; they threw Indianapolis in there and the Southern 500. They paid you a $1 million bonus if you won three of those races. Those are the ones you set your sights on when the season started. Now, everything pays $1 million, and that has diminished the value of some of our bigger races.

This winter we have set our sights on going back to sort of the old-fashioned Braves way of building championship teams with dominant pitching. That's what we think we have done and we are excited about the pitching staff we have put together for the season.

I think of the sights and sounds and mad rushes of feeling and sensations that come over you all at once when you're in New York,

I tell you, that's one of the prettiest sights you can see. When you're down and they're scoring every inning there, then we get the big blow there, it doesn't get better than that, to clutch up like Ramon did tonight.

We have to set our sights on the bigger picture, and that's the ACC tournament. We have to go in there focused.
