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.

We're trying to do something. We figure at least if [lead-off hitter Brendan] Harris gets on base, maybe Lamb can pull it through that hole [between first and second] ... I know that doesn't give us much speed, but with this team we're playing, you've got to score some runs. 
Because that right-handed-hitting [right fielder they had] got them Garza ... So I think it worked out well [for both teams]. It worked out, because now they have five dominant starters to go out there, so any one of them on any day can go out and get you a 'W,' which they've been doing all year. I don't know which way you can rank them, because you can throw any one of them out there and they can all win you a game.
Yeah, especially the last month and a half ... It's been fun to watch. They're on ESPN once a week, so it's tough not to watch them. So it's been fun watching them and I'm happy for them.
You have no choice -- they're on every ESPN game ... Every time you turn on the TV, they've got Wednesday night, Sunday night, Monday night, the FOX game, so it's a lot easier to follow them now than before.
