Spot Quotations | Page 4

He had always stayed in one place, right there in front of the fireplace, just playing. That first day, I put him in that spot and went to the kitchen for a minute and heard Terry call.

He goes through a flat spot for about ten or 15 yards but I was never worried. He's got unbelievable sprinting powers.

He draws a lot of double-teams, and he sees the ice so well. Basically, all you have to do is find a soft spot in the ice. He does a great job fighting off guys, and I just pick up the garbage in front of the net.

He does have some ability. We have to see if we can get that more consistent and find the right spot for him. Is it boundary corner? Is it field corner? Is it a safety? He's a big guy. We have to find the right spot for him.

He does all the small things for us. He gets guys in the right spot and is kind of a coach out on the floor.

He may be the brightest spot of the spring. Maybe besides Omar. He's pretty lean, but he's not the least bit shy.

He never threw to the same spot twice, never threw the same pitch twice. You go up there just trying to put the ball in play.

Henderson County is the biggest trouble spot with 10,700 outages. Crews and contractors are on the scene working to restore power.

He missed his spot with a fastball, and I guess I did what you're supposed to do with those mistakes.

Whatever he decides, we'll support him. But he's already said he's not going to play until he's 100 percent -- either here or there. Who knows? This might be a two-week injury and he might need a full two weeks to get healthy. I'm not sure if their country is holding a spot for him, but he's not playing until he's 100 percent.

There is hardly any supervisor in the Wal-Mart store after 7 p.m.. What a great spot for a perverted man.

The purpose of putting it in the afternoons was to give it a time slot that was as close as possible to getting it to when the actual events were occurring. As well as, that's the only spot we could find for it on the schedule.

We've been trying to change the perception of this club for a while and you only get that change of perception of the team by performances on the field. The performances this season have been to a really high standard, hence we're in fourth spot in the competition, and rightly so at the moment.

We took our time to examine all potential alternatives, contacted every team, and tried to make the best deal we could. I think there were a lot of teams, like us, that liked his talent, but found it hard to find a spot on their major league team.

We're in the middle of our migration season now where birds are flying. Are they going to bring it back to the Midwest on their flight patterns, we don't know. They're monitoring the birds closely--Alaska is the primary spot where they're watching the birds because it's the closest point where we would see contact.

We're not going to treat this as a special game or anything. The thing we have to do is deny him the ball and make him catch it farther out in spot he don't like to catch it at. We're going to be prepared.

We've got to quit shooting ourselves in the foot. Defense did an excellent job allowing only 76 yards of offense, and that's our bright spot of the night.

We are extremely excited about our opportunity in Indianapolis. You can see why anyone in the banking business would be. Our sweet spot in business is really small- and mid-market-type business lending in addition to retail banking. Indianapolis has seen a lot of growth in small businesses. That's where our growth will come from.

To ensure a sustainable sea otter population in the future, we need to allow sea otters to expand their range without forcing them to live in one spot or another,

To come back in the third period, earn a point and clinch a playoff spot . . . there's some positives from tonight but it never feels good losing. They were a very hungry, very determined team tonight but we knew they would be.

Guys are always trying to rally each other when we fall behind or hit a tough spot in a game. It just seems to mean more when Vince does it because he always delivers.

He's a good player who waited as long as he could and gave himself both options, but I still want that goal back. If you don't have butterflies, you shouldn't be in this spot because this is the best time of year when you want to show up. There's a way to control the nerves and not let them get the best of you, so maybe that's where a veteran knows how to do it. But today is over, and tomorrow is the most important day.

Her hitting was her nemesis last year, but she still got to play good defense for us. She's gotten stronger, though, and she's been hitting in the No. 3 spot during the scrimmages. I'm hoping that she'll be a surprise with her bat.

Going into the quarter the high-speed data number was going to be the focus and they came spot in line with expectations.

Gomez, Jaime, Freddy, they can play some ball. If you don't put pressure on them, they're going to pick their spot and they're going to bury it. It really doesn't matter who was in goal.

He's a small guy and he always looks for the open spot at the front of the net. He's getting all the rebounds, so he is not afraid at all.

He's always given me trouble. Mike has so many arm angles and he knows how to spot his pitches. He can set you up with that change-up and then throw a fastball right by you.

He seems pretty confident. It's evidenced by the fact that he'll throw any pitch in any count at any time in the game. We needed him to fill a spot and he's given us much more than we could've hoped for. He seems to be strong as an ox.

He seems pretty confident, ... It's evidenced by the fact that he'll throw any pitch in any count at any time in the game. We needed him to fill a spot and he's given us much more than we could've hoped for. He seems to be strong as an ox.

He's earned this chance. He came on very strong for us in the second half of last season and moving Darin to the outfield opens this spot for him.

He's hitting 3-woods and 5-woods into the holes, and he was still hitting it on the right side of the hole and controlling it. I'm hitting 5-iron and 7-iron, but it ends up on the wrong side of the hole, and he's in a lot better spot than I am.

He's got to be more selective in what he swings at. And if we can do something with the lineup and position him in a spot that can help him learn that, then that's what we're going to do. What we're looking at is the major-league level, and (there) he's going to have to be more selective at what he offers at than he is right now.

Hispanics are said to be keeping themselves apart, avoiding the use of English, and declining to absorb on the spot the 'core' Protestant and individualist values that underpin the American way of life ... but precedent suggests that young Hispanics will eventually merge their identity in the larger American one, just as previous streams of immigrants have done.

His symptoms are getting better, but he still hasn't been cleared. If he does get clearance from the doctors and trainers, we'll have him available for spot duty.

Hitters have confidence and know the ball is going to be at a certain spot all the time. With an inexperienced setter, the ball is going to be three feet off the net or two feet. Juan is very consistent with his sets so our hitters know where to be and know what to expect from Juan.

He's a strong young man. Really, he was the only bright spot offensively.

He's a wonderful uncle to my grandchild, and Hillary's a wonderful aunt to my grandchild, so I have a very soft spot for that relationship, ... Now, having said that, I have a bright line between my work as a United States senator from the largest state in the union, and what the president has to do.

He's going to be a fine, fine player. It's just a matter of when we clear that spot for him, and do we hold somebody in reserve in case he doesn't do it.

He's been very impressive. There's nothing that says he can't play first base, either. He's played well enough. He's fighting for a spot just like Jake. You can't just say it's Jake's job.

He's given the entire receiving corps an opportunity to make plays. I can't explain what happened last year. I don't want to even try to explain it. But we're playing well and it's exciting to know again that if you get open you might even get the ball in a spot that you can do something with it.

He's been in the right spot three times for us. I don't know if there's anybody else in the country who has gotten off to a start like that.

He's been in the No. 1 spot before so he knows the pressure, he knows how to play.

He?s been a quality kid and obviously he gets the chance to come home, which I think helped him a little bit and was probably fun for him. We had him in a spot where we were down 2-1 and we hit a fly ball that was a poor approach on our part, instead of hitting the ball up the middle or the other way like we preach.

He's done everything there is to do in the Minor Leagues. Right now, there's just no spot for him in the big leagues.

Hopefully we can get somebody who can run. I want a second hitter so we can put Iguchi down in the sixth or seventh spot to get more (run production) out of him.

Hopefully, this pushes us to the next level. A playoff spot is out there. It's definitely attainable.

Hopefully the smell will get her moving, and Port Authority police on their regular patrols will spot her.

The range of $0.505 is at the low end of historical experience. New highs in the spot cash price are certainly possible, particularly if weather concerns persist into the spring.

We may start to get more spot fires.

We look at the adult population and see how it changes from year to year. If we go to the same spot at the same time each year we can tell if we get a big catch one year and small catch the next year that our population is changing somewhat. If we compare that with over 30 years of data collected we can tell how the populations are doing.

Hundreds of reporters, in all media, did heroic work on the Gulf Coast in the deadly storm's aftermath. None arguably was as financially and symbolically important to his company as the job turned in by Williams. It could solidify his spot as network news' top anchor.

He was in the right spot for that fumble. Nobody hit (the Elk Horn ball carrier), ... He just lost the ball and it went flying into (Arnold's) arms. It was kind of a Christmas gift.

He was one of our best defenders. He was our point guard, and he was forced to play that spot even though he's more suited for the two guard spot. But he did an admirable job with it.

He was great. He's such a tough competitor and he's in such a tough spot as a freshmen. He hasn't been in this situation before and I thought he handled it great. He made some big stops at key moments and I was very proud of him.

He was really recruited by the other staff. But he had made a commitment and this was where he really wanted to go to school. We're glad he kept to that commitment. He's been a bright spot in that class. He came in here as a true freshman and beat out a fifth-year senior.

I also have a soft spot for spicy chicken wings. They are always best eaten at dives and sports bars, like Wogie's in the West Village, New York City, near my house.

He wants to be on the field so badly and earned the starting spot and just doesn't want to give it up. (He) plays the game the way it's supposed to be played.

He could never find a spot to drop in after breaking from the outside but I don't think it was a disadvantage. Churchill was very deep and the other horses had worked out over it. I just think he ran out of training in those last 50 yards.

He didn't get it in as far as the first one. I just put a good swing on it. I can't quite tell you why it went out of the ballpark, but the pitch was in a good spot for me. It was in an area where I could hit it hard.

He comes in where he's got to be beat out for the fourth spot in the outfield. He has some speed and defense, and a pretty good approach to the plate.

He knows how much we would like to have him back. I think this is the perfect spot for him.

He likes to play physical, as you all saw, ... Obviously, you don't want to see anyone get hurt, but the kid is trying to win a job. You can't hold him accountable for finishing a check out there. Everyone was in that spot once.

He left the point guard spot and started roaming around. He got easy shots that way.

He left some pitches up, and they're a good-hitting team. They certainly took advantage of every pitch he didn't hit a spot on. Give them credit. I think they played well. I thought they came out and swung the bats well. I thought we competed. Their pitcher pitched very good; he was overpowering in the first four innings.

He is very mature in terms of his poise, his composure and the way he goes about his business. Any time a young player can get this kind of experience to kind of expedite his development, it's a great spot for him.

Guys who get out of position, it's tough to get a par out of it. If you are not on the spot on the greens, it's hard to get a par.

This was one of the team's best races so far. And it's good to see so much competition for that last spot on varsity.

I was looking for a fastball in and something I could drive. It was pretty much in the exact spot I took my warm-up swings.

I would tell here to spot us 10 points before I play her. They're tough.

Jamal had played some nickel, which is a little bit like safety. He's certainly got a lot of ability, but he's got a long way to go to learn that spot and be comfortable and help our defense there. There's lots of thinking that goes on there.

Jake has done a good job for us. He's able to spot his pitches and dictate to the hitters instead of letting them dictate to him; he's pretty consistent.

Jackie threw one heck of a game. She hit her spot 90-95 percent of the time and pitched ahead of the count.

Kenny has had a good winter. I think he sees himself performing at a level that was much above last year, for whatever reason, and that's exciting. He has put in the effort, the focus and the concentration. He's trying to regain the spot and the level that he was playing at before.

Kelly really helped us in the fifth spot this fall. Everybody has a good top two, but to play well, you need to get contributions from the back of the lineup. Kelly's improvement is a tribute to her hard work.

Kelly had a very good swim. It's the fastest she has been in the event in several years. Our goal was for her to make it back to the evening session, but to miss by just one spot is still a great achievement.

Kee was able to control the ball well and spot up and hit the outside shots.

Just one or two pitches, and then things got out of hand. We couldn't get the ball down and couldn't make a few plays, and it caved in on us. It was all of a sudden, boom. It was a great 2-1 ball game, and then ... you've got to make pitches. And the bullpen has been a bright spot for us this season. They've been strong for us. They gave it up tonight, but they've been consistent.

Jose was just in the right spot at the right time on all three of those goals. I wouldn't call them garbage goals, I think it was more of his hustle that made it happen. He's got great vision of the game and he's just in the right spot all the time.

Jordan Payne is an outstanding addition to our program. He is a big-time scorer who can play either guard spot and is a coach on the floor. We feel he gives us an added dimension that we did not have last season and are expecting big things from Jordan next year.

Joe is normally a 135-pounder, and he's filling in at 160. We told him to eat like crazy because we needed a guy for that spot and he did a decent job. He just couldn't quite pull it out.

Josh is ecstatic. We were looking for a spot where he could compete for a job. The word is that the best man wins. He's excited. It's the right offence for him.

John just got in the right spot at the right time, got the ball for some jump shots. He was consistent.

(Jude) Crabtree and Taylor were back at defensive end and had a good ball game. Tanner Williamson has won a spot in rotation at defensive tackle. Overall, the defense played pretty well. We only gave up two touchdowns.

I talk to him. I tell him I know it's going to be hard the first two years fitting in. He was the star of his eighth-grade team. He's in the same spot as me. I talk to him about my experiences and tell him what not to do.

I talked to coach (Eddie) Gran and said this is the spot I want. I told him to give me a little time to get that down.

I think it puts us, to be honest, in a tough spot a little bit, only because we're both competitors competing for the same spot. We both want to play. We came here to play.

I think I should hear what the man has to say before making up my mind, ... Whoever is chosen for this spot could be on our nation's highest court for 30 years perhaps, and deal with some of the most fundamental liberties that we have in this country. So I think it's important we take our time, ask the right questions, listen carefully to the answers and then reach a considered judgment.

It becomes a bit of a chess match, because I have to put my A swimmer hopefully in a spot where she will swim better than their A swimmer.

I taught English in Costa Rica before I went to college. I'm not an especially outdoorsy guy, but sometimes I would spot wildlife while whitewater rafting or walking in the rainforest at 5 A.M.

I think it's better to fix it now than to try and play with a bad shoulder and get to the point where it needs to be fixed in the middle of the season and be in a bad spot going into the playoffs,

I thought we should be competing for a playoff spot and we weren't even close to that.

I tip my hat to Janine for going out there and pitching her heart out. I want to focus on her and her guts. She had the will to go out there and pitch. It's a tough spot for her.

I threw a lot of strikes on the outside corner. Usually I'm OK with it, but today I was 80 percent all outside. I was just hitting the spot and hitting the glove.

I think the highlight of the season was how we came together. We had a down spot earlier in the year and we could have packed it in, but around the Princeton game (a loss) we came together and played as a cohesive unit.

I thought (Braun) made herself a target a lot more tonight. We did a nice job moving the ball and getting her in a spot where she could do something with it. And Betsy is doing a much better job of taking on-balance shots.

I think you just focus day to day, week to week. He's been the first goalie in the past. He won't lose his focus. He'll play another 10 years in the NHL. Game-sharp is just puck after puck (in practice). Since his last game, he's done two hours each day on ice. I think it was a good spot on the road. Sometimes, when you've stayed out a long time, it's better on the road.

I think you have to work on him in every possession. The kid's a tough player, he's a good player. If you put yourself in a position that you fall asleep on him at any point during the game, you're going to put him in a spot that he can make plays -- and he's good at making plays.

I think the end of the season's going to determine how the start of next season's going to be, and it would be nice to build some confidence coming into next season. I think everyone wants to prove themselves and earn a spot on the team. There's a lot still to be done this year.

I think the end of last season helped me, but here (at Ohio State) you have to compete with a lot of good defensive linemen, ... I could have started since my freshman year and still not have solidified my starting spot this year. I think I am more of an overachiever than opposed to a great football player. That's why I am more of a hustler, a player that runs to the ball.

Laffing iz the sensation ov pheeling good all over, and showing it principally in one spot
