Corners Quotations | Page 2

I like working on stories where I can explore the darker corners of childhood without illustrations but with humor.

We had already had two or three corners at that point. I just told Theresa that she needed to hold the ball a little longer (before shooting).

I had to work the whole race tonight. I was struggling to get around the bottom. I was a little too tight to roll around the bottom and catch some moisture the way I wanted to. I got a little bit of a rhythm going. Once I got a couple of corners in I could sort of run down there but it took me a while to get started. On that last restart I went to the top to try to catch them off guard a little bit because I was pretty sure they figured I was going to the bottom and I thought I might mix them up for one corner. Then I just tried to hit my spots and it worked out well.

I feel we complement each other well, for the simple fact that he's a ball hawk, and that's something I want to do more of. I can do that. But I'm known for being a run-stuffer and a big hitter, so he can help me. I look forward to working together with him, as well as the great corners on the outside.

My command was OK, most of all I was just trying to be too perfect. I was trying to hit the corners and was just missing. I felt pretty good in the bullpen and I thought I could do something, things that really didn't work out as I planned. I just had to bear down and make pitches and get out of certain situations.

My coach, he tried to find different ways to get me the ball ? options, coming up with creative plays. But they were normally the seven routes, the post corners and the digs, and when you got a tight end ? who can make moves like a wide receiver ? when there is a linebacker on you, that's kind of a mismatch.

We're still feeling this thing out. The thing I love about hockey is it's a man's game played like men, and you go out there and battle and play the game hard, and that's the way it should be. As long as they let us engage in the battles at the net, in the corners and the straight-up stuff -- the stuff around the waist, they're gonna call. We're all figuring this out right now, and hopefully it'll get better as things go along.

I would have rummaged, ransacked at the word; Those old odd corners of an empty heart; For remnants of dim love the long disused, And dusty crumbling of romance!

We still have quite a few problems with the vibration and this means that we can't use the bike to its full potential and make fast lap times. We've tried lots of changes to the set-up today - balance, suspension, but the problem remains. In some of the fast corners my speed is down by as much as 15 or 20kms. The good thing is that we're much better than yesterday and we've done some really good work within the team to make these improvements, but it's still not enough and some other riders are looking very strong.

Good days, they come around the oddest corners.
