Bob Fescoe: "How close are we to winning here in Kansas City is the question we get all the time from fans and quite frankly, a lot of us want to know"

David Glass: "I keep asking Dayton and Dan the same thing and they keep telling me that we're getting there. I've been watching baseball since 1946 when I went to my first baseball game. This group of young players are talented, now whether that talent translate into winning or not depends on a lot of things. But I believe in these kids and then when I see some of them at AA and AAA that are on their way and look at the potential that they have, I gotta believe that Dayton and his folks are gonna put together a winning team very quickly"

BF: "What kind of resources is Dayton gonna have in the offseason to go.. maybe acquire some starting pitching, a Greinke or a Cole Hamels, guys like that are gonna be available"

DG: "We've always said that if we're in it, that we'll be willing to step up and do what it takes. Now, Obviously we can't.. Kansas City can't support a payroll like the Yankees or the Red Sox or some of the big market clubs but we'll jump onto any opportunity to take advantage of a chance to win"

BF: "When you say we're in it, what do you mean by "we're in it"?"

DG: "Once you get half way through the year, you oughta be able to assess your team and decide whether or not you got a chance to be a player. Doesn't always work out. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't. But I think that if you got a half-seasons of history then you oughta be able to make that assessment and we'll sit down during the all-star break and talk about it and see where our baseball people think we stand."
