It's only a start, but I was very, very, very impressed with the way we competed. We got great balance and contributions from top to bottom, and that is always nice to see. It seemed like we had a different hero every game.
More Quotes from Mike Candrea:
That's the thing about this game -- you get a little monkey on your back. You go 0-for-3, you go 0-for-6, pretty soon you start pressing. You keep trying a little harder, and the harder you try, the worse it gets. So, anytime you can break out of it by getting a base hit, it feeds confidence.Mike Candrea
If you make mistakes, they will make you pay for them. But if we're smart and pitch to them carefully, we can take care of that.

I'm hoping right now, with (former USOC president) Peter Ueberroth strategizing and putting everything in order, that they will try and present the case. Hopefully it will come up for a re-vote or for sure get us back in the games for 2012.

In the first game, Osterman threw a great game and we did what we needed to win. Against Japan, we played a good game and Southern was tough for us, but we just couldn't buy a break. We hit a lot of hard balls right at people and my hat goes off to Japan. They look good, but tomorrow is a different day and we have to go right back at them.
