We're going to have to take a personal inventory as a team. This is September, and this is no time to fool around. We need to pick it up a little bit. It is fortunate to lose two ballgames the last couple of days after having a nice streak and not lose any ground to the leaders.

We've still got work to do. Tomorrow is our biggest game of the year. Then, the next day will probably be even bigger.
