Chuck D. Year Quotations

We're starting to get some really good swings up there, but we're also showing a lot of patience at the plate. Now that we're getting some real work in, things are starting to look up. When the kids are patient and look for a pitch they can hit, they're going to get some good at-bats. I don't think scoring should be a problem for us this year if we continue to show good discipline at the plate.

Keeping that promise this year made our job much more difficult, ... I don't see how you're going to be able to have that rule of thumb three years from now.

Our post guys have been our bread and butter all year long. When they get going for us, it opens things up for our guards.

I think they realized the timing was all wrong. This is an election year and they decided to go after issues Georgians are interested in, such as immigration and taxes.

The delta smelt last year was the lowest we'd ever seen, so this year is definitely the lowest.

When you look at it top to bottom, we've got five pretty good teams right here and we're playing everybody. I think it's a very, very strong year thus far.

While he was playing during the summer, Dave landed on his shoulder and hurt his shoulder. He wasn't able to play at all for three months, so this year has almost been a waste for him. But he does everything we ask of him and he plays hard. He just needs to get a little stronger.

We flashed last year at being athletic with big-play potential, but the youth showed itself, too. We were like riding a roller coaster, and that's the thing that drives a coach crazier than anything else. We were up-and-down, up-and-down.

We were on such a steep upslope last year that it would be hard to maintain that kind of growth this year. But still, we're coming off that strong year and still having these huge gains.

That means they are either going to have to be in a position sometime next year to really step up in governing themselves, defending themselves, supporting themselves, or we can't continue to stay there indefinitely,

That's a positive. He's got a whole year under his belt and has improved quite a bit.

I'm sure he won't be seeded any higher than fourth. Even though he's a three-time section champion, that doesn't matter. It's about what he did this year and he just didn't get to wrestle that much.

In order to have a skilled workforce to draw on now and in the future, Michigan's education system needs to improve at all levels. Passage of legislation this year to mandate stronger high school graduation standards is important to manufacturers, as is raising the cap on charter public schools to provide families more quality choices.

I don't think there's any question that by the year 2007, ... this is going to be a winning organization and a winning baseball team for the first time.

He's mainly played for us defensively, but hopefully this year he'll be able to play some offense and have a big impact.

Analysts gave a pie-in-the-sky aspect of a profit recovery in the third and fourth quarters. Since the year began, that hasn't exactly happened.
