All quotes are direct from Neal Huntington as told to host Greg Brown:
On the current state of the club:
“That [Clinging onto any hope of contention] is what we’ve been working to hold on to, no question about that. We’ve gotten to seven games over .500 the first seven weeks of the season; we were doing things that good teams do. Unfortunately, we’ve given all seven of those games back, and given eight more in the loss column. That’s a 15 game swing. This is a really big week for us. And I don’t want to ever over-emphasize how important a single stretch of games is, but this is as far out of a playoff spot we’ve been in July out of 8 years.
