    I told them if they could get me to the World Series, I would cut the wings off. And they got me there.

    I'd have rather had them go out and kick our butts with honest hits. It is a bitter pill to go out and play badly and run the bases badly. The base-running blunders just killed us and we never came back from that because that was a great chance for us to go ahead.

    Yeah (we're excited), ... I've always sat in the bleachers. (At Del Mar) I must have shook 40 or 50 hands and was congratulated at least 100 times.

    I would rather they go out and kick our butt with honest hits and get 10 hits and beat us 6-1. It is a bitter pill to go out and play badly, run the bases badly and make errors.

    He's a baseball guy, ... He loves working with these kids and being able to make a statement in their lives. He's always said he'd probably never work with older kids because (preteens) still believe everything you tell them. After they turn 14, they know it all.

    The DOT knew what they were getting into. These were his designs. Mr. McFadden did nothing wrong. This is more of a witch hunt.

    (The operator) said, 'You've already changed it once and you can't change it again,' ... 'Yeah, but I'm coaching that Little League team that's going to the World Series and we won't be back until the 29th.' So she took me clear off jury duty. It made my day.

    We saw Hawaii against Louisiana, and Louisiana threw a good pitcher at them and held them to just two runs, ... We'll throw (Nathan) Lewis in tomorrow and I feel confident he'll go out and have the same type of game. If we can score four or five runs, we're going to make Hawaii do some sweating.

    Excited we are, but this is like the tournaments we've been playing. It seems like we reach a new high every time we go out and play a game.

    It's a fitting end to a long road. I don't think the middle of my lineup was very inspired today and it took a guy like Ryan to step forward, who really wanted to hit, that's what it takes.

    (In Legion), we had coaches, but they weren't coaches, ... They just filled the lineup card out and hit us ground balls. We never got any coaching like we give our kids. (In softball), I learned a lot about the defensive side and dealing with the men and the boys.

    He's done his job, he's played decent at first base, he knocks a hit in there once in a while or a key walk, but he's never went out there and had the back-to-back hits like that. A double and a home run against one of the top teams in the world, I'd call that a pretty good game.

    Hawai'i is a good team. They're on a roll. They've been playing very good baseball. They've been getting better every game. They'll be a huge challenge for anybody that plays them.
