BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

And us, as pitchers, have a lot of confidence in him. That's important from a pitcher's standpoint. If you have a catcher behind the plate you can tell if he's uncertain about giving a sign. I don't sense that with Carlos. When he gives a sign he means it and there's usually a reason behind it. You can also communicate with him, too. There's a lot of give and take and that's important.

The one thing you try to remember at this time of year is your strengths ... I think that's what Charlie is trying to do with Ruiz. If you had a Greg Dobbs-type hitter as the other catcher, then you can say, 'We have to get a lefthanded bat in there.' While Chris Coste is a good player, he's not that much greater [offensively]. What are you going to do? They've gotten this far with Ruiz.

I've told him that there are times when pitchers need a kick in the butt when you come out to the mound and there's times when they need coddling ... There are a lot of things that are important with that relationship. A lot of times you have to communicate [non-verbally] from 60 feet away. So reading body language is important. He's really picked up on it and really come a long way as a catcher.

I'm not going to say it's a Phillies town now. It's Philadelphia. It's not about the Eagles, not about the Flyers, not about the 76ers ... It's about us as athletes trying to win a championship for this city. Whether it be the Eagles, Flyers, the 76ers or Phillies, I think this city is hungry. The fans will be here for us. That's the big picture and the small picture. We want to win a championship.
