It's three points but it's more than that because it's against Sunderland. But we have got to get some consistency into our game.

It's one of those years. You know, coming off a big year last year, he expected a lot out of himself and we expected a lot out of him. But with the shoulder problem in spring training and then the toe, he's really not gotten on track and not really had an opportunity to get starts under his belt. The command and the consistency haven't been there.

It's like starting off a new season. I'm playing until the end of the year. I've had a couple of (good) weeks this year, but my consistency hasn't been there, so I want to get out there and sort of finish off the last three months of the year, and finish strong.

It's going to be enjoyable to have everyone here for the most part so I can rely on some consistent players, ...

It's been a big factor that kept us in the lead in our division. If that line hadn't stepped forward in late January we'd be a sputtering team. It has been a major factor for our consistency both here at home and on the road.

Danny is fortunate he's had the chance to really get some extended time, a chance to be a starter, to come off the bench, and he's learned a lot of what it's about. It's about developing a routine, not just relative to basketball, but relative to day-to-day life. Like keeping things organized and (perfecting) that. If you can do that and have some consistency with it, you can be successful.

The next two weeks we will be focusing on consistency. We have to be able to put that consistency together in the competition when it counts. Experience helps.

Suppan brings consistency, but he needs to start hitting home runs, ... It's exciting. It's always exciting to see pitchers hit home runs. He probably never thought he would be the one to do it. It was a pathetic home run trot, but it was fun to watch.

It seemed like it was every three plays we were going deep last year. This year, it will be mixed up a lot more, which I think will lead to more consistency in our completions.

It was an OK day for us. If we can get our consistency down pat, hopefully this weekend's tournament will do us some good.

It was our third game in three days and I wasn't sure if we'd have our legs, but the guys worked hard and seemed to have more energy than in the other games this weekend.

They both played extremely solid, very consistent in all aspects of their games. If we can get a little run going for Derek or just a few more putts to fall for Ed, they are both on the verge of just busting out. I just love the consistency of how both are playing under par virtually every round. Both only had a couple of mistakes that kept them from scoring lower.

The TV ratings are meaningless, ... there is no inter-network consistency in the ratings, nor is there even intra-network consistency.

Not just that they've had good nights, but they let me focus team-wise. There's some consistency and it's nice you know count on them. I focus on my sophomores because I know I don't need to worry about them.

After this morning's free practice we were hoping for a better result than this, but the result over one flying lap this afternoon did not come up to our expectations. In fact, both our drivers found that their cars did not perform as well as they had done in the morning. However, I believe we will see a closely contested race on a track where overtaking is possible, especially on the main straight. Of course, it's not possible to make any more definitive predictions because of the usual unknowns surrounding the different fuel levels, consistency of tyre performance and reliability.

At the end of the game, when we needed to score some points, we turned it on. Unfortunately that's been an M. O. for us this season. We're only scoring when we have to score. When we have to, we do it. But it should never come to that. We should be able to play with the sense of urgency and consistency that allows these games not to come down to the last two minutes of every one.

At times maybe he could play harder. It comes and goes. We need more consistency from him. He's our inside presence.

The key thing we want to see is consistency and application of the laws and regulations as they were written.

I have so far to go, I mean so far to go, but I can already see where it's paying off a little bit. I need to improve on consistency with my technique. I have to keep my pads down on every play. Have to be a better student of the game and break my opponents down better. It's going to take time.

I'm trying to teach my guys consistency. Consistency is the key to success in the restaurant business. If you come in here tonight and you order the filet mignon, and you come back in a month to find its all different, you're not going to be as happy.

I'm very satisfied with the team's performance at our first spring tournament. We improved throughout the day and implemented our new serve-receive system very well. The team played with composure and consistency all day while competing against a wide variety of teams that each had different styles and strengths. The team adapted very well to this challenge, and the weekend proved that not only have our physical abilities improved, but so have our mental ones. Players were multi-tasking the strategic part of the game while also easily executing physical skill - a true sign of a veteran team.

In Atlanta, the fifth guy was always a younger guy who would get skipped. It didn't provide that guy the consistency he needed. Here, the last two years you knew no matter who got the ball, you had a better than average chance to win a game. It made it a lot more fun sitting on the bench watching somebody else pitch. I think they felt the same way. We care about how each other does. There's no segregation.

I'm hoping that we will show more consistency. This past weekend, at times, we competed well, but just very inconsistently and part of that may be traveling on the road.

I'm hopeful that the success we've been having the last two years leads to more consistency year in and year out.

In some ways I find the mouse to be a much more advanced device than your typical game controller, ... It is generally easier to learn because of the visual nature of its interface and has far more consistency across applications. The mouse is still rapidly changing (more buttons, mouse wheels), in a sense it represents the evolution of a new language based on micro-gestures of your hand and fingers. Whatever the device is, I think this new spatial/gesture language represents the most probable future of input devices.

I look at our record and eight losses is more than I'd like to see, but I also look at it like, I haven't lost any confidence in this team.

There's nobody I'm afraid to play, and I just want to start playing better, consistently, ourselves.

I hope for more consistency. I am confident we can have a winning season, and if we put things together, we could make some noise in postseason again.

In the second half we tried to run but we couldn't hang on to the ball. We need consistency and tonight we didn't have that. We had a chance to blow the game wide open in the third quarter.

In the second half we got even better defensively. When you play a lot of kids, you can get excellent effort. But a possible disadvantage of playing a lot of kids is that sometimes you don't get the consistency on offense that you would like.

It has the same consistency, and the same seams on it. It throws like a regular ball. Coming from Massachusetts, we had a lot of indoor practices. You have to be ready for the rain.

He started kicking better, ... He went 7 for 7 the other day in our last kicking scrimmage. That's what you want - the consistency part of it.

He's exhibited Major League power in the Minor Leagues. We've seen some flashes of it at this level. He's taken it and been able to put it in play with some consistency for a short period of time. That's what we're all pulling for him to pull off throughout the season.

He's probably our best defensive lineman right now as far as consistency in training camp.

He's put together a pretty good little stretch here. The thing we've talked about the whole way is consistency through the whole year, understanding you are going to go through some struggles. How are you able to get out of them? Are you able to get out of them quicker than other players? Those are the great players.

He's pushed skating more than anyone I can think of. His consistency is incredible.

I don't think so. They haven't shown the consistency to do it during the regular season.

The toughest thing about success is that you've got to keep on being a success. Talent is only a starting point in this business. You've got to keep on working that talent. Someday I'll reach for it and it won't be there.

Charlie and Bob give us valuable veteran leadership in the backcourt, ... We can rely on them to offer both effort and consistency. We are delighted to have hard-working role players like Charlie and Bob to provide support to our All-Star nucleus of Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady.

He throws four pitches for strikes, he keeps the ball down, gets a lot of ground balls and he's a strikeout pitcher. He's got a lot of innings pitched in the minor leagues and ... he has developed the consistency that's needed to pitch at this level. We feel it's important he get his feet on the ground up here (in St. Louis) for the time in the future when he's a starter.

Consistency is a jewel, but too much jewelry is vulgar.
