John King Quotations

We were counting on him to pitch quite a bit so that puts us behind the eight-ball a little bit.

We were coming off our first season. We kind of had a bunch of unknowns. We just have to go out and put all the pieces together in the spring. We have some good young talent, but we really don't know what to expect.

Most of the time we feel pretty good with a runner in scoring position. We felt fortunate to have gotten the No. 1 seed at district. We got some breaks there in the district tournament.

Newer products are landing this month and it will really be the second half before we start to see an emphasis on improvement in home performance.

I work for a place that's been great to me over the years, and when you make a mistake, you're hurting your company as well.

I do not subscribe to the advocacy journalism school. It's not who I am and not who CNN wants me to be.

I felt good with the way we were playing. Defense and pitching won the games for us today.

Fortunately for us, we got a break and he did a good job of avoiding the tag.

I always joke that a makeup-free day is good for the pores.

We feel it?s our duty to do it because it?s God?s work.

We've got to win at Green Forest on Thursday and then we'll have our hands full with Gentry.

Late in the year they really did a good job for us. We need big hitting years from those guys.

(Our hitters) did a good job of being selective and when they got a strike they did a good job of putting the ball in play. Didn't hit a lot of balls real, real hard but we were getting them in play.

Our offense is probably ahead of our defense, right now. Not having starters back is deceptive, because a lot of them played as backups. A couple of them even got experience in the playoffs.

Lincoln was a pretty big win for us. We got down early but battled back and got the win.

Microsoft is going to continue to develop its product line. I'm not going to make any major changes at this point.

We were having a hard time getting Kenton the ball in the first half. That's why we changed some things at halftime.

Those home runs right there threw it out of reach.

Up and down the lineup we put the ball in play.

We didn't strike out much and you're usually happy about that but we didn't hit the ball hard anywhere. Just poor hitting, really, on our part.

There is a lot of noise and conflict in our political discourse, which is fun to cover, but I'm convinced from my travels that people also thirst for more details as well as insight and context.

We're very good at telling what happens and showing people while it happens... But sometimes television fails to take the time to say 'Why did it happen? What does it mean?' - To step back a little bit.

I've covered a couple wars and a lot of breaking news and a lot of cops-and-robbers situations.

They all knew they had to step up because of the injuries and people playing different positions and they did a good job of it.

The world has changed. People have amazing access to whatever they want, whenever they want it.

I've been absolutely amazed at how much is out there.

Sometimes you feel sad to be left out of a big debate.

definitely noticed the improvements ... fewer potholes, fewer cobbled streets, more highways, more bridges. It makes traveling easier of course, and quicker.

The bottom of the order came through for us. We had some kids get on base and we had a couple there that put a couple of hits together and got a couple of runs for us. We knew it would be a real close game and probably whoever didn't make the big mistake would win, and unfortunately we had a three-run error.

It wasn't just (Carney). Today I just don't think we came out ready to play. There were some balls that were hit that we didn't make a good effort at. And they were hitting some balls that were outside the zone.

It's a work flow issue. But work flow is huge.

It's been a juggling act. This is only the third game that we've had everybody back. And even now, some of those guys aren't 100 percent. We've had a lot of people contribute.

The biggest thing we'll miss is our pitching. Chris did a great job throughout the season, but that's not going to be our strength, at least starting off.

It was kind of like last year. The kids stepped up big against two teams that had beaten us in the regular season.

The retail environment remains subdued and pressure on costs continues.

I had the traditional print view of TV journalists: Those are pretty people who get paid a lot of money and don't do any work. It turned out I was wrong.
