Mike Connolly Quotations

We have high goals this year. We want to do better than that. Everybody knows what we can achieve and we're working that much harder.

We need to be a little bit more consistent defensively as we begin our conference schedule.

John has done a terrific job of developing and growing the advertising partnerships at ESPN, the radio industry's number one sports brand. I am very glad to have John on our team.

It always comes down to pitching and defense. If we keep pitching well (3.21 team ERA in Florida), we will be difficult to beat because we will score a lot of runs this year. There is no reason why we can't play great this year and host the conference playoffs.

I was pumped up for the game. I just went out there and tried to do the same thing I've been doing all year.

I was pumped up for the game, ... I just went out there and tried to do the same thing I've been doing all year.

We have a lot of depth on this team, both at the plate and on the mound.

We watched films and knew we would have some success with the running plays that we used in the past against them, ... I think overall this is the best team we've played so far. We're in the same position we were in last year. We need to win the last six. Me being a senior, I want to be able to say they we went 7-3. We've all grown up playing together and it's almost a family attitude more than friendships. The seniors won't give up and it's up to the underclassmen to follow.

We had six kids start and pitch well during the trip. Trevor (Powers) and Ricky (Leclerc) pitched very well and we received two quality starts from Will (Waldrop). Erik (Morrison) picked up a win, Mark Bulger was impressive and Patrick (Driscoll), despite being the victim of the defense against Western Connecticut, was very effective.

Everyone wants to make the playoffs. A game like this is frustrating, but we've got to put it behind us.

The team played outstanding on our trip. Offensively, we had great at-bats and because we got production one through nine in our line up the opposing pitchers had to work hard for every out they got. The pitchers were aggressive and controlled the strike zone.

That was a big play and seemed to take away the momentum at the time.

As usual, Tufts and Trinity will be tough and Bates and Colby are our rivals which makes them always tough to play against. However, I feel our goals are realistic if we do the little things like play good defense and get quality pitching.

It was difficult to play in these conditions. You only have four league weekends that count toward the tournament so they're all big and this one is certainly a big one coming up for us.

It was a big welcome back for the whole team. It was a big start to get everyone excited.

I kind of knew that hit was coming because I'd hit him earlier that shift. I looked up and saw him coming and I knew he was going to try to take my head off. I tried to jump out of the way.

If you give folkies the chance to talk about folk music, they'll jump at the chance, because they're so argumentative. They never shut up. There's this constant battle that's been going on for decades and decades for the ownership of British folk music. The arguments seem to be an integral part of it. Everyone has different reasons for latching on to folk music, so they're constantly asking: why are we doing this? Why is this important?

You're getting old when you see a girl who looks like someone you used to know, and it turns out to be her daughter.
