Bottom Quotations | Page 5

I can try cutting back some trips over the field for fuel prices, but it's not like I'm out there doing recreational tillage now. You only go over it when you have to.

There's no way around it.

I can't really envision much more of a hostile environment, ... It's on national TV. Monday night football. Everybody's going to watch it. But you've got to put that aside. Bottom line is, it's still a game. It's still going to be 11 guys on offense, 11 guys on defense.

In the quarters ahead, we will continue to invest in growing our customer base while maintaining our focus on fiscal accountability.

But most people don't look at business from that point of view - they only look at the bottom line and the upfront costs, but there's a long term benefit to being eco-friendly.

I don't want anybody to take my kindness as a weakness. Like I said before, this is where I want to be, but don't test me. It never was a done deal. It was a possibility. I'm happy about that. But there's two sides to that. On one side, I trust you, but don't play me. I don't care who it is, if it's the Boss, if it's him, don't play me. There are plenty of other teams out there that want my services ... that's the bottom line.

I don't think you can predict that a guy's going to go down a week before training camp and have back surgery. The bottom line is that he can't play.

I don't think it matters that we were Super Bowl champions; we always have to come to a game and line up and play. Every team is good.

I give Sheehan a lot of credit. They skated hard, were disciplined and they out-skated us...especially in the third period.

If we don't play our 'A' or to the best of our ability, then there's a pretty good chance that if Rutgers plays well we're going to lose. And that's the way it should be when you play against a really good team. But, you know what? We're home. We're in our building. And the expectation level is we're going to win. That's the bottom line.

He has the ability to score, the question is if he can do enough of the other things to get playing time. You score when your coach is confident enough to put you out there enough to let you score.

He had a guy that beat him out, and to me that's the bottom line. That's all it's about. If you look at our record with him as a starter and you look at our record with Kirk as a starter, to me that speaks for itself.

To fall behind 2-0 and then come back and score two runs and then again to fall back by four runs, making it 6-2, and tying it up in the bottom of that innings against the guy the caliber of Carpenter is a good feeling.

Today, all of our teams -- minus three or four -- are either competing for a championship or are off the bottom of the standings. We've made huge strides. We've got to do that consistently now.

Have a compelling argument that speaks to the bottom line.

He's a dedicated player and he'll get some important at-bats. The real key is pitching. If our pitchers can keep us in the game we will be competitive. You can't sleep on any team in the Red Division or the county for that matter. From top to bottom the county is very solid.

Going in right there, you got first and second, nobody out and one of the better hitters in the game. My main focus was getting strike one. It's key to get strike one.

His story was I hit him. I did hit him, but he checked up a little earlier than he had the last four. I don't know whether he was trying to protect the bottom or whatever. It was just a racing deal. I didn't do it on purpose. That's racing. I don't know. I had no intention of hitting him. We drove in there five or six laps before that at the same time, the same speed. Next thing I know, he let off and I hit him. That was the end of that. We'll talk before Classic but I'm not talking to him tonight. I'd be mad too. He has all the right in the world to be mad. I don't blame him a bit for being mad.

He's going to play the game the way he always has. I did tell him, 'Yes, let's take it easy and let's try not to kill yourself.' But the bottom line is he's an athlete and he's going to be an athlete. You can't control that. He's going to play the game the way he knows how to play the game.
