Jim Hendry

We've always had a lot of respect for him. He pitched so well against us for Houston. He went out there last year with some discomfort and gutted out his starts in Boston. He's a winning-type guy. He's a winning pitcher who, when he's out there, he wins you games.

When we went in there, they really started blitzing everybody. They saw Morelli as an inexperienced, second-string quarterback and they brought the house against us. But as a whole, I thought we picked it up well. We had a couple, little miscues, but nothing that can't be corrected.

Harri Holkeri

When I was involved in Finnish domestic problems, I used to bring people together and make them work together instead of fighting against each other.

John Goodman

When I was in high school playing against those guys I really didn't feel friendly towards them at all. I tried to make myself think I hated Unionville at the time, and there was definitely a lot of trash talking. You run into those guys all the time. It's pretty important to have those bragging rights so you can walk with your head a little higher. But now that I'm out of school and you see those guys there's no hate there. I have a lot of respect for them.

Alain Vigneault

We're going to see probably one of the hardest (working), most physical teams in the league coming in. They don't score a lot of goals, but they play hard. A lot of times, they don't even want to play the puck, they just want to play the man. It's Calgary, in-your-face, finish-checks hockey. It's going to be a big challenge for us and the bigger the challenge, the bigger we're supposed to respond.

What we're seeing is an extension of PCs. We're probably going to see those companies with PC exposure get penalized by association with the PC market.

John Jones

You don't like to do that, because you like to set your finals on the basis of qualifying so your eight fastest kids will be running head-to-head (instead of strictly against the clock), but coaches understand that some things just have to be done.

Jake Long

What's intriguing is that part of the new masculinity, or M-ness, is man's recognition that he needs a woman. This realization comes, ironically, during the Era of Female Independence, a time when man can be replaced by boy toys, female lovers, abstinence, and even vibrators, ... Whereas men still need women, their traditional source of comfort and inspiration, women are increasingly less likely to feel the same about men. And that's changing everything about the rules of the game.

Naomi Hasegawa

US Treasuries, particularly long-term bonds, were robust on Friday, when the Japanese market was closed.

William Shakespeare

Here comes a man of comfort, whose advice Hath often stilled my brawling discontent.

John Hynes

We try to put them in situations where they can take their talent and maximize it. We try to get them out of their comfort zone, playing against older, bigger players, so they have to use their minds as well as their skill to succeed. It doesn't matter what sport you play in, there are always going to be kids who are talented when they're young but they never face any adversity. Sometimes, the coaches take from the kids ? say a coach who has a guy that can score five goals a game but doesn't involve his teammates ? down the road, that's a disservice to player. There's a whole different element to being an elite athlete.

We've always felt like our defense was one of the stronger points of our game. Our goal was to have a hand in their face for the full 94 feet of the floor and that would hopefully take away some of their shooting ability.

When we were at the drawing for the tournament seeds last week, we were praying that we wouldn't have to face Meade. We didn't play well against them during the season and we knew they would be a tough team to face early in the tournament.

Justine Bateman

When I was in my teens and 20s, I looked to older Italian and French women. They always seemed so incredibly attractive to me because of their confidence. And because their faces had evidence of age: lines, dark circles, and half-lidded eyes, it made that confidence so rebellious. And that was incredibly attractive to me.

Michael Feldman

When I was a kid, I hated being talked to as a kid. I don't know if all kids feel that way, but I seem to remember awful things in the crib, something like people doing baby talk in the crib and sticking their big, fat faces in there and scaring me. So I always talk to kids as if they were a person.

When it comes to a big game, a national championship game, either a five hundred or thousand dollar board.

Mary Roach

When I was a kid, I hated everything. I was really skinny, and I'd have a milkshake with an egg in it. Growing up, I ate, like, five different foods. I was not an adventurous eater. But as soon as I left home, that all changed and from that point on, I've been a pretty enthusiastic eater of new and strange food.

Jen Kasel

We've basically been trying to clean up our game in general. Making better passes, playing smarter, hitting the slide on defense, talking, communicating. We've been doing a lot of seven-on-seven to get prepared to play such a talented team.

Joe Becerra

We've a young team. We've got to be happy that we're still up at the top after seven games.

Kendall Ponder

We've avoided the issue as much as we can. It's a big game for us because we are facing Hickman, not coach Riley.

Clint Hurdle

We've always wanted to improve our bullpen, but until this year we weren't able to get the pieces we wanted. It's been frustrating. . . . It's not easy to spend the bulk of the game battling for a lead and then seeing it get away. . . . Now we have some depth. We have some quality arms.

Jamie Dixon

We've always thought he was a very good player and always believed in him. He just happened to play on some very good teams behind some very good players. Last year, he developed and got better. He played in a lot of big games against a lot of good people.

Greg Nasello

We've always struggled to score goals. That's why it's been so exciting to see the girls put these type of games together.

Laura Paro

We're going to go game by game right now. But our first goal is to score more goals this season.

Bruce Arena

What this group has managed to do is not let anything get in the way of their goals in qualifying and winning games. We miss a player due to an injury or a suspension, they don't blink an eye, they just move forward. If they're in games where the officiating may be a little bit questionable, it doesn't bother them. They just keep their concentration and get after the task at hand.

Henrik Zetterberg

When we came out and had two quick goals it helped, and when they scored, we scored right back and they didn't get the energy to get back.

Perry Florio

We would've put 10 guys in the box if we had to. ... We saved a few goals by chopping and whacking, and the ones that got through Nick was there to stop.

Al Roberts

What he modeled was decency. He'd always ask me questions. 'How are you doing? What were my goals? Did I get my master's?' More is taught than caught and that's Bob Gary to me.

Jim Rutherford

We've always taken the position at this rookie camp that we'll give opportunities to guys who deserve them. Estrada continued to play well. He deserved to go.

Brad Childress

We've always spread it around. All the guys give you a little something different. And I think fresh legs are important.

Rashard Lewis

We've always said we need more than me and Ray. When we get other guys coming on like that, it makes things so much easier.

Jamie Dixon

We've always played three guards in certain instances over the years. A number of programs do that. Oftentimes, your smaller players are your better players. Last year, our bigger guys were our better players.

Jim Fleming

We've always let our guys like Miguel play toward the end, but not the whole season. They all want to play for their hometown teams down there. So we oblige within reason.

Jason Carter

We've always had pretty much one guy at each spot who only came out if he was really tired or hurt. This year, we're going to play two or more guys at every spot because we just have that many talented players. Our depth is a lot better than it's been.

Howard Schnellenberger

We've always had little receivers, but a big fast guy is always better than a little fast guy.

Ozzie Guillen

When we were really struggling, you didn't see guys get two hits in a game. Any time someone got one hit, one walk -- nobody could put it together. Tonight when we were hitting the ball, one guy got three hits, one had two RBIs, one had two hits, all of a sudden you don't need nine guys to get a hit -- just two or three to get a hit at the right time.

Tim Salmon

When we were coming up, it was kind of a retooling thing and we were filling in with whatever you could fill in with. (Now) you've got a good ownership that's not only going to allow those guys to play, but they're going to bring in the pieces and make it competitive and allow them to win.

Billy Graham

We've always needed God from the very beginning of this nation but today we need Him especially. We're facing a new kind of enemy. We're involved in a new kind of warfare and we need the help of the Spirit of God. The Bible's words are our hope. . . .

Harri Holkeri

When I was involved in Finnish domestic problems, I used to bring people together and make them work together instead of fighting against each other.

Bill Cowher

We remind them where they were seven weeks ago. That's the thing in my mind. Seven weeks ago, we found out the people who like you because it was unconditional. We're involved now and it's seven weeks later and it's all conditional. They love you because you just won seven straight games.

James Cornelius

We remain confident about Guidant's ability to rebuild ... market share. But that rebuilding will involve time, resolve and resources,

Gene Simmons

We're starting a cable network and a boxing venture, getting involved in Indy car racing, Warner Brothers is starting work on the 'KISS Babies' cartoon show, and the KISS Broadway musical is commencing production.

David Lennon

We're going to take this one day at a time, and we are going to hope that cool heads prevail and that everybody involved will find a way to get the show back.

Greg Brown

We're going to have 13 different departments involved in this deployment

Greg Garrison

We've battled adversity all year and have been in those kind of situations. Our kids know they're never out of a game. But it looked pretty bleak there for a bit.

Bob Romeo

We've averaging 61 points per game, but the thing that makes me the proudest about this team is its defense. We've held teams to an average of 31 points per game. A lot of players get to play (as a result of big leads), and that means the kids on the bench are doing a good job defensively as well.

Tony Haynes

We've averaged 20-plus wins a year for the last five years, five straight NCAA tournaments. Kids graduate. Hey, that's a successful program.

Bob Collins

We've asked all our section pros to put their program up on the Web site and I'm really, really excited the way they're starting to get involved. We're trying to create some awareness in the area and to get people to play. People always want to know, where do I go for a class? Where do I go if my kids want to learn? You can find it in there.

Dale Martin

We've always wanted to go. We're hoping to get away from it all. Now that the kids are gone, it'll be a little easier.

Shawn McDowell

We've always thought this senior class had the physical skills, it was a matter of them jelling together as a unit. A year can make a big difference both mentally and physically and the kids have really matured.

George Campbell

We've always made it a point to be strong from the goal out. Defense is always a priority, but these kids have offensive talent that can't be denied.

Kirk Salvo

We've always had kids from all over come here. This program has been a magnet for good wrestlers from around the state, but our link with the Navy Juniors program has been pretty good for us the past few years.

Diane Sollee

When we were saying it doesn't matter in the '60s and '70s and '80s, we didn't have the experience of enough kids in a culture when families were breaking down. It was just our best guess.

Shawn McDowell

We've always thought this senior class had the physical skills, it was a matter of them jelling together as a unit. A year can make a big difference both mentally and physically and the kids have really matured.

Diane Sollee

When we were saying it doesn't matter in the '60s and '70s and '80s, we didn't have the experience of enough kids in a culture when families were breaking down. It was just our best guess.

Chris Schwartz

When we were down early, I wasn't worried about it because I knew we were trying. It was just a matter of our shots going in. Then, when they started going in, (the Rough Riders) couldn't stop us.

W. S. Gilbert

When I was pregnant I used to cook a healthy dinner in the morning. That way, no matter how the day went, there was a nutritious meal waiting at the end of it.

Nicole Miller

When I was on my honeymoon, I lost use of my right arm and right leg, and that's when we knew something was wrong. I was not totally paralyzed, but there was loss of sensation and feeling. The doctor on the ship could feel that my right side was weaker. They told me something was going on, but that it was not a medical emergency and that it didn't matter if I went off the boat that day or in four days.

Scottie Reynolds

When it comes down to playoffs, it don't matter how ugly it is, it don't matter what you do, you are going to be remembered by wins and losses. We know if we slip up one time, it's over.

Mallory Dietrich

When it comes down to it, it's just a time you are trying to beat, no matter whose it is. Hopefully it will stay for a few years.

Joe Papin

Tomorrow we have even a tougher task. We are probably going to be facing a stronger team. We have to play for three periods no matter what the score is. You would think being 14-0 I would be happy, but right now I'm not.

Pat Battle

When we began our analysis of the videogame landscape, it became apparent that EA SPORTS was best positioned from a marketing and development perspective to maximize the sales opportunities for college football.

Tom Szkutak

We're going to continue to do what's right for the growth of the business. Our pricing strategy is not to maximize margin percentage growth but to maximize buying for our customers, ...

Paul Eibeler

We're extremely proud of our entire sales team, and this new sales structure reflects our confidence in the team's abilities to maximize Take-Two's position in the video game industry.

Jack Greenberg

We want staff functions to support line decisions and maximize their impact.

Charlie Bell

When he finished last season, he came on like gangbusters once we got to know him and once he got the feel of varsity football, ... He was showing us all summer what we've got, offensively and defensively, so there's no surprise to us. Josh is just born with talent and skill, but to his credit, he works extremely hard to maximize it.

Tyrone Marshall

We're more aware of each other now. Guys are looking out for each other. We're doing more things together. That definitely relieves some of the stress and heartache that we've been having over the past couple of weeks. Being able to come out here and play soccer is a step in the right direction. Doug is still in our minds and our hearts.

John Davidson

What they say may have an impact tomorrow, but the dominant topic on investors' minds right now starts with an 'I' and it's not Intel. Both businesses and consumers are hesitant to make any moves until there's progress on Iraq.

Angie Proper

When we broke Lewistown's record, gave them their first loss, our confidence went up. We said we could beat any team if we set our minds to it.

Alonzo Mourning

When we get our minds to playing defense, we can turn any game around. I hope we get to a more consistent level of play.

Christian Olsen

We brought in some great young minds and some older guys who have brought experience. I think overall, we aren't going to miss a beat.

What's neat is it's at the highest level of women's golf and you can learn so much hanging out at the putting green or the chipping area talking with the veterans, from drills to mindset to attitude.

Ben Nelson

We're going to let the process unfold, make up our minds as we go along. But nobody's talking about those issues that would break up the gang or cause a rule change or a filibuster,

Tom Ryan

We've battled and we've competed. It's just a question of playing seven solid innings. I still think we're pretty solid all the way around.

Jen Kasel

We've basically been trying to clean up our game in general. Making better passes, playing smarter, hitting the slide on defense, talking, communicating. We've been doing a lot of seven-on-seven to get prepared to play such a talented team.

Erin Delaney

We've basically been playing a similar offense, we run the same offense. The purpose of the junior varsity is to work together. It's not about wins, it's about getting better.

Tim Saunders

We've asked Matt to do some new things to help us get a couple more athletic bodies into the lineup,and he's more than held his own in left field. Most catchers don't run very well and couldn't make the switch to the outfield, but Matt dominates with his quickness when he's playing hockey, and I think that's helped him make the transition.

Joe Balogh

We've always said that you can't win the league in the first round of the season but you can lose it. I think that is the great part of playing in the NCC.

O. Winston

We've always said it's about us, and it's about us getting better, ... We've got a lot of confidence right now. We're playing well, the defense is playing unbelievable, and I want to get back out there and keep that going.

Scott Rolen

We've always had a tough time playing them.

Katie McMahon

We've always competed against D-I teams in our division. Now we're playing big name East Coast schools and we're getting more recognition. However, the team is not eligible for the playoffs for another two years.

John Hoch

When we were up seven at halftime, coach told us to keep playing our game. We knew we had to keep rolling and in the second half we just shot lights out.

Greg Nasello

We've always struggled to score goals. That's why it's been so exciting to see the girls put these type of games together.

Jon King

When we were younger we were all trying to score points. But as musicians all we wanted to do was to make something that sounded great, and we became obsessive about it.

Joe Papin

Tomorrow we have even a tougher task. We are probably going to be facing a stronger team. We have to play for three periods no matter what the score is. You would think being 14-0 I would be happy, but right now I'm not.

James Adams

We're starting to feel like every time we step on the field nobody is going to score on us.

Alex Smith

We're so close, and sometimes the scores may not reflect that, but we're so close to being competitive in this league. There's a lot of things we're doing better now that we weren't doing at all earlier in the year. Coach always says it's a marathon, not a sprint, but that's the truth.

Alain Vigneault

We're going to see probably one of the hardest (working), most physical teams in the league coming in. They don't score a lot of goals, but they play hard. A lot of times, they don't even want to play the puck, they just want to play the man. It's Calgary, in-your-face, finish-checks hockey. It's going to be a big challenge for us and the bigger the challenge, the bigger we're supposed to respond.

Greg Hawk

We're going to score some runs this year, you can count on that. Timmy is a big key to our club, but we have a really potent offense overall so we'll be quite all right. We've got a good freshman core and the big hitters to drive them home so I like our chances. We are going to compete for one the top spots in our league and before this year is over, they'll know the names of these guys.

Laura Paro

We're going to go game by game right now. But our first goal is to score more goals this season.

Kevin Connell

What we're hoping to do is win our division. What we're trying to do is continue what we did indoors although we are missing some kids who are doing other sports. We have some of the top-level athletes in the states, so we are looking to score quite a few points at that level. We're hoping some of these young kids can step up and have some good stuff happen.

Tommy Amaker

We're going to review those situations when we get the opportunity to do so.

Greg Bensel

We're going to go to San Antonio and set up our operations. The players will have a few days off to try to deal with their families, deal with their situations at home and try to get their families to San Antonio, and then we'll go to work next week to prepare for the season. We're talking to the league office and looking at conflict dates with certain sites, and trying to figure out what we're going to do.

Bob Marshall

What we're picturing is we'll give them (developers) the choice. There may be situations where it would be better for them to use concrete.

David Eckstein

What they've gone through, it puts a lot of things in perspective and that perspective will help you handle the situations in that you know win or lose, life is still going to go on,

Gary Waters

When we get to those last moments we have to trust each other out there. I think sometimes we get into situations where we don't trust each other on what can be accomplished.

Ben Leber

When we get the lead big enough, they're going to come out and throw the ball. That puts us in situations where we can pressure.

Bob Kalp

What makes it frustrating is that, we're the type of program that practices every day and we practice situations every day. Mentally, a couple kids did not execute properly, home plate was left uncovered and, hey, give their runner credit, she never stopped.

John Anderson

We're going to have to get after it. Hopefully we get some guys on base and get some counts and situations where we can get some guys started here because I think it's going to be an important part of our offense.

Jeff Gorton

We're just trying to work through the numbers. We're some place and they're another place and we're trying to work it out . . . there's a difference in both situations and we're trying to get through it.

Tim Coghlin

We've always thought they were a very skilled team but they're even more skilled than people know. They skate really well, they swarm the puck, the protect they puck well. They all have exceptional puck skills, stick skills, and they compete.

Kevin Stallings

We're more athletic, but again, I'm not saying that we're at the same athletic level of all of the teams in our conference. Our skill level also has improved. We've been able to compete a little bit more athletically and it's shown up in some areas of our play.

Eric Kirby

We're making sure we work together across the organization to?create a highly skilled team across the marketplace.

Gerry Fleming

We're getting too cute, too fancy (with passes). That's what happens when you got new guys coming into the lineup that are skilled players playing with guys who are skilled players. Everybody wants to show off and show how great they are and how fancy they can make things happen. As a result, we turned the puck over and we all looked like we had no idea what we were doing.

Elaine Roth

We're going to go on the premise that it could happen. We have to prepare for that. This could happen so that we have to be prepared for that demand for skills and labor.

Richard Lee

What we're having here isn't a demand constraint. It's a situation that nobody predicted. The No. 1 problem is construction costs and lack of skilled labor.

John Cornyn

What this does is serve our national interest from the standpoint of increased security. It deals with our economic needs in terms of the work, but it also, I think, helps to address some of the root causes of illegal immigration by encouraging people to return with the savings and skills they've acquired in the United States.

Kirby Sundheim

What they might lack in skills they make up for in heart. They each keep on coming back against tough opponents and want to learn to get better. Both Sean and Brady have great stamina and are beginning to bob and weave and counter punch much better. Sometimes you can take a kid like Brady who has natural talent and move him up to take on fighters with a little more experience.

Matt Murphy

When we got her, she had very few skills and she was real uncoordinated. I remember she wore thick, horn-rimmed glasses.

Jen Kasel

We've basically been trying to clean up our game in general. Making better passes, playing smarter, hitting the slide on defense, talking, communicating. We've been doing a lot of seven-on-seven to get prepared to play such a talented team.

Steve Matlock

We've assembled a team of dedicated, energetic people whose experience and enthusiasm for this industry is unparalleled. With these talented leaders in place, La-Z-Boy is in for an exciting ride.

George Campbell

We've always made it a point to be strong from the goal out. Defense is always a priority, but these kids have offensive talent that can't be denied.

Jason Carter

We've always had pretty much one guy at each spot who only came out if he was really tired or hurt. This year, we're going to play two or more guys at every spot because we just have that many talented players. Our depth is a lot better than it's been.

Greg Kraft

We've always had chances for brilliance. The talent is there but it's just how quickly it comes together.

Adam Rothberg

We've always believed in Dan Brown's exceptional talent as an author. Everyone in publishing knows that sometimes it takes three or more books to reach critical mass and we're happy to have ultimately sold millions of copies of his books.

Marty Schottenheimer

When I was playing, it was 10 or 12 plays that determined the outcome of a game. Now, because of the balance of talent in the league, it's come down to three or four plays a game. All you're looking for is to be in a position where you have a chance to win at the end. We haven't been able to do that, in a number of cases but we just keep chipping at it, trying to find a way to turn that corner.

Joshua Katcher

When it comes down to a meet like this and you put two equally talented kids out there, it comes down to which one wants it more. Obviously, our little guys wanted to move on.

Mona Williams

Tom was just ready to retire. And Kevin was one of the outstanding talents that we felt was ready to move into a new role.

Jen Kasel

We've basically been trying to clean up our game in general. Making better passes, playing smarter, hitting the slide on defense, talking, communicating. We've been doing a lot of seven-on-seven to get prepared to play such a talented team.

Steve Matlock

We've assembled a team of dedicated, energetic people whose experience and enthusiasm for this industry is unparalleled. With these talented leaders in place, La-Z-Boy is in for an exciting ride.

Jason Carter

We've always had pretty much one guy at each spot who only came out if he was really tired or hurt. This year, we're going to play two or more guys at every spot because we just have that many talented players. Our depth is a lot better than it's been.

Joshua Katcher

When it comes down to a meet like this and you put two equally talented kids out there, it comes down to which one wants it more. Obviously, our little guys wanted to move on.

Rick Hendricks

When we first talked about (Loomis leaving), Steve's name was the first and only one discussed, ... He's a talented young man and we're looking forward to a bright future with him as crew chief.

Matt Kuk

When we first got together and started playing, I couldn't believe how good they are, and that they're all at the same high school. This is a very talented group.

Cody Vanderford

What he was able to accomplish in one season is a sign of how talented he is. He is going to be one of those guys who goes to the next level and continues to improve.

Kevin Diverio

We graduated a pretty talented class. Still, we were very excited because we thought we could be good.

George Gelnovatch

We brought in some very talented first-year defending players and a transfer. But it is going to take some time to get them organized. As for my expectations for the defense, I don't know. That'd be a better question to ask a month from now.

Bernard Lagat

When it comes down to it, I wanted to win wearing this (USA) uniform. I was going to run to my best so that we could win. It wasn't like running against the Kenyans. Today, it would have been nice to beat my old countrymen. At some point, I felt that I let my teammates down.

Alge Crumpler

When it all boils down, I know where I'm going to be, the fans know where I'm going to be, other teams know where I'm going to be and I know my teammates damn-sure know where I'm going to be. That's all the matters.

Jim Tracy

What we're seeing right now is, in my mind, identical to what we saw last year, when it took him a few starts to get untracked, and then you see one quality start after another. His teammates recognize that's he gonna leave everything that he has on the field, and it's very easy to step up for a guy like that.

Ron Artest

When we are clicking on the offensive end, making shots, you get your teammates involved. That's what I was trying to do tonight.

Shane Kieler

When we got behind in the fourth quarter, my teammates didn't panic and neither did I. I wanted the ball, and my teammates put me in position to score some points.

Hannah Reiff

What helped me the most was that my teammates did a great job finding a way to get the ball into me so I could work around the big girls.

Bill Cowher

We had 10 guys that got two or more votes. I told the team that was very reflective of how they felt about their teammates and the fact that they really do consider themselves a team.

Scott Kerstetter

We're keeping it manageable, playing it quarter by quarter. When we were 7-12 and it got to the point where it was looking bleak, we shortened our lineup. We asked some girls to be good teammates and give ups some minutes, and they've embraced it.

Bobby Jones

With two teams that pressure a lot and are physical, once someone gets pushed or aggravated and gets hit, tempers flare up and they get mad and teammates defend teammates and other people get involved. That was usually the case when we played them last year.
