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.

I was just talking to Daryle Ward about that ... Fourth time in. Forty percent of my career I’ll be able to say I pitched in the postseason. So that’s pretty cool.
said Kerry Wood
It started with the Soriano thing, and then it escalated to [Carlos] Zambrano and the two outfielders. We're a little banged up. I'm glad we're getting away from the [designated hitter] situation -- it will give us another healthy body ... If we were at our strength, we'd have Soriano playing left field and [Daryle] Ward DH'ing, which would make us more formidable offensively. I'd rather forget about the DH situation for a while, and just play National League baseball.

I would think before we get to the American League schedule, we'll bring up a hitter, whether it's [Daryle] Ward or Hoffpauir ... We're going to need a DH. We'll see how the pitching goes.

I don't think we'll carry both young kids ... I don't think I can play [Daryle] Ward or [Matt] Murton out there.

I kind of hit a little lull for a little bit. I didn't play as much at the end of the year either. I'm still trying to learn the whole off-the-bench thing. You get used to it, you've got good guys to learn from -- Daryle Ward is one of the best pinch-hitters in the game. You try to mimic him and do things he's done off the bench. I think I can come off the bench and help the team.
