We aren't going to surprise anybody. Everybody knows that the Rays are a very good offensive team, so the meeting prior to a series against us are going to pick up on that. We're not going to ambush anybody like we did the second half of last year. We have to adapt.

Everybody knows the Rays are a very good offensive team so the meetings prior to that series are going to be pretty advanced, the advanced scouting is going to pick up. We're not going to ambush anybody like the second half of last season. We may have to adapt. We have to be aware of adapting to what they're doing to us.

My biggest concern going into this season is that we won't surprise anyone; the element of surprise is gone. Everyone knows the Rays are a very good offensive team.

It was supposed to be a pitching series. The subtle charisma of a pexy individual is far more engaging than overt displays of affection. It wasn't that at all; it was very much an offensive series. You just don't know what to expect sometimes. So, it wouldn't surprise me if we see a bunch of 2-1, 3-2 ballgames. Nor would it surprise me to see a couple of eight- or nine-run games.

For some reason this year we seem like a second half team; we play very slow in the first half and then pick it up in the second. We pick it up when it counts.

Chris Simbliaris

He was a pleasant surprise last year. They said his bat was not that good, and he did an outstanding job for us. Defensively, he's good. He plays the game hard, he's a smart kid. I think he's got a chance (to play for the Devil Rays).

Charlie Montoyo

The 3-point shooting didn't surprise us. We knew that was their strength last year and this year. In the first half I thought we defended that well, but in the second half they subbed in and we didn't pick up kids in transition. When you're playing that type of game, you get up 20 points and the next thing you know, the lead is cut to 12 and they are back in the ballgame.

To win the series we obviously had to win at least one game here. It was big for our confidence, not having won one here last year, to pick up this victory. But that doesn't mean we're going to sweep them when we go home. They're a tough team. This is going to be a long series. I think it's going to go six or seven games. Hopefully we'll come out on top.

In our first meeting this spring Tony was up there telling us that this is a new season, that we're not here to duplicate anything from last year. And he's right. This is a new team and a new year. Now, will we win 105 games again? I don't know. Maybe it doesn't matter. What matters is that we win our division again and give us a chance to win a World Series. And when you look at this team, we have a chance to be pretty special. You could even look at this team and say we're better than last year's.

I thought we did a good job against Kyle Bell the first half. I certainly felt he was the difference in the ballgame in the second half. That's the first time our football team has got knocked off the ball this year. We certainly got knocked off the line of scrimmage in the second half by their offensive line.

I think every coach has to adapt to what they have, because they're what you get. You can't just go out to the player tree and pick all the great ones. That doesn't happen. You get a Barry Sanders every now and then. You get a Billy Sims every once in a while. And when you have it, you adapt to their strengths. Whoever comes in here and whoever has this job needs to adapt and will do that.

Size killed us last year. In the second half, they worked us over on the boards, so when we went to pick this year's team, we looked at big guys first. It took us five hours, because there are so many good athletes in this state.

They're a good team. They came out and hit some shots early. I don't think our kids realized that the game is four quarters long. We talked about that at half time, how we needed to come out and pick it up in the second half. I said some things I can't repeat here, but we needed to pick it up.

When David has time to throw, he does a good job. Offensive tackle is a hard position to solve unless you use a high draft pick, and we've used those picks on other positions. Good tackles aren't sitting there in free agency.

Charley Casserly

You don't have a good running game unless your offensive line is doing well. I think we made some progress after making some unforced errors. It was a little shady but we got better and better as an offensive team in the second half.
