Hoping Quotations | Page 3

We're hoping that there are some guys that maybe we on the fence who didn't go to the World Championships will go now. We're trying to get their A game for the World Cup. And particularly if we end up with the same coach for both tournaments then I think it would be ultimately important for all of the players who are available to go.

We're hoping that the gap between amateur creativity and creativity funded by large, centralized media companies will probably continue to shrink.

We're hoping that the carbon monoxide was just a byproduct of the explosion.

We're hoping that that money will make its way to the workers, ... To some extent that is out of our hands.

We're hoping that's where the conversation starts, because the Education Coalition has already taken the position that we'd like to see a sizeable down payment being made, then a reasonable payback over time.

We're hoping that soon every car that leaves the lot will have security screws on their plates,

We're hoping that someone would come forth with info about this. We think that it could be possibly sitting in someone's garage and someone is likely to know about that.

We're hoping that some kind of limited liability agreement can be worked out with the government that limits the liability for Good Samaritans who take in these evacuees. We don't anticipate that there would be a lot of lawsuits out of that, based on the fact that people are voluntarily helping out, but that doesn't mean that still won't occur in some rare instances.

We're hoping that somebody out there knows something and will give it up. This is definitely something where the public could be of help.

We're hoping that President Bush will bring all his influences to bear ... particularly on Sinn Fein, who we believe have the power to deliver the murderers up and to get justice for Robert.

We're hoping that people will get a sense of appreciation for the history of the town.

We're hoping that people realize it's an attempt to try to have a healthy campus environment while respecting the interests and needs of those who do smoke. At this point it's a reasonable compromise, but hopefully no additional action will be needed if everybody's reasonable about it.

We're hoping that over the next six years, some of these kids here might have a chance of being Olympians.

We're hoping that other people and other lives strive to continue on with that work because that's how long term peace and security will happen.

We're hoping that new management will be able to improve things but it won't happen overnight. DaimlerChrysler is a tanker that can't be turned around immediately.

We're hoping that maybe because we have inexperience at quarterback it will make everybody else step it up more.

We're hoping that Long Branch can pull an upset. We were all sharing the ball and hitting our shots. We played some tough defense that got them out of their rhythm.

We're hoping that last year's playoff game will inspire these guys to work hard. Our goal is to be one of the three teams to go to the playoffs from our (Skyline) league. They're motivated.

We're hoping that it will generate some interest and support so we can go back and finish up and settle the dispute once and for all, without a doubt.

We're hoping that it was something just small, and she needed to take a break. When she's finished, we're here waiting.

We're hoping that it (LIFT) can be saved. We're hoping that in the next round of (block) grants, we can get some of that money to her.

We?re hoping that it is going to send a strong message to other WTO members that biotech approvals must be science-based and can?t take the amount of time that the EU has taken in approving their biotech products.

We're hoping that it improves our in-school recruiting for the upcoming seasons.

We're hoping that he's well preserved, and that the ID will be rather easy.

We're hoping that he might have just hyper-extended it and that he will be okay.

We're hoping that every truck company in the job will get one of these things. This is something that's going to save lives, not only firemen but civilians.

We're hoping that everybody comes back. The students have had two weeks off. And we think that's sufficient time for winter break.

We're hoping that Brad can handle this and give us a jump start.

We're hoping that as disappointing as last year's game with Danvers was, it will make us a better team.

We're hoping that Andrew will get through. He should get through.

We're hoping that 2006 and several events coming up that make people eat more sweets -- the World Cup, for instance -- will increase consumption again by 1 or 2 percent.

We're hoping that 12 people will be ready to go next week, that's the goal at this moment.

We're hoping someone who witnessed this senseless act or knows who is responsible will step forward.

We're hoping some of our birds will just show up.

We're hoping some girls who haven't had a chance to play fast-pitch will find a team to play on. That's the biggest thing about this, especially for the 15 to 18-year-olds. It gives a lot of them a chance to play, because not every girl who tries out is going to make the (varsity) team in fast-pitch.

We're hoping she'll be all right and can play. She's been a big player for us. We're going to need her.

We're hoping she can put pressure on her agency (the (state Department of Natural Resources) to make a decision.

We're hoping she can get back for state. She hasn't been in the water for a couple of weeks and that's going to be real hard to come back from.

We're hoping people will think they are back in history.

We're hoping people will see the value in this and agree to let the city plant a sugar maple in their yard. We all benefit from the beauty of these trees. It's part of the ambiance of this town, and that's not something we want to lose.

We?re hoping people know those. We?re letting the words carry it.

We're hoping over the next year he will become comfortable with our kids and coaches. He brings a wonderful skill level and athleticism. He comes from a premier program. Hopefully, he'll have a big impact on the type of player he is and those around him. That's what really good players do.

We're hoping outside developers will come in and give it capabilities we hadn't even thought about ourselves.

We're hoping our starters give us more innings. All indications are they will. We want to be cautious with our bullpen.

We're hoping our kids will be up to the challenge. We're looking to execute and make Boonville play solid football.

We're hoping our hard training and practice will help us play well for the victory.

We're hoping our defense will be strong again and will keep us in games. We have a lot of young returning players on offense that will help out, but it will take them a while to get going.

We're hoping one day we'll have our own property and build us a building.

We?re hoping next year?s event will involve even more community groups. We?re hoping this will be an annual source of pride and goodwill.

We're hoping maybe as early as Sunday we'll start having potable water,

We're hoping juvenile court will allow us to reopen the case and get the 18-year-old to tell his story. Everyone keeps calling him a liar.

We're hoping it will dissipate because of the current and the sun.

We're hoping it will be wrapped up at that time.

We're hoping it's something we'll be able to manage, ... The plan with Donovan is to allow him to participate, continue to rehabilitate him and we're going to take it on a day-by-day, game-by-game situation.

We're hoping it's something we'll be able to manage.

We're hoping it's resolved prior to having to result in any legal action.

We're hoping it's not that serious. We need him.

We're hoping it's just a two or three-week thing.

We're hoping it's going to be considerably more than that. But the main thing to remember . . . is it's not the actual number that's critical. It's the importance of these people's voices being heard.

We're hoping it's a self-sustaining network of people sharing good news with each other and creating a positive buzz. It's mostly about attitudes and helping people understand how their individual attitude impacts the community attitude and our ability to grow.

We're hoping it opens the game up a little bit.

We're hoping it is one of those things that will never be finished. We want to keep growing and expanding to have more facilities.

We're hoping it isn't broken. It hurt to the touch, and we couldn't get it to stop bleeding.

We're hoping it has a snowball effect in that it leads to more arrests, or more investigative leads that we are pursuing.

We're hoping I'm a fast healer, which usually I am. We'll see what happens.

We're hoping I'll be back in one of the next two games, ... To be honest I haven't really done anything 100 percent yet except for diving around a little bit today. But I've been given the green light to try everything including kicking the ball, which in the past has been a bit of a problem in recovery.

We're hoping if the dumpling-eating challenge is successful, ... it will make our event the premier dumpling-eating event in the New York area, sort of like what Coney Island is to Nathan's.

We're hoping he will be back soon. The school is supportive of him.

We're hoping he was just misquoted, ... The elections will push through whatever the threat.

We're hoping he's still alive. We're hoping for the best.

We're hoping he's healthy. That's No.1, first and foremost. All the reports that we've had is that he's been on a regular routine throwing ? not throwing off the mound, but everything seems to be good. He's a big horse for us. When he was a free agent last year he was at the top of my list. We were fortunate enough to be able to sign him. He just never was right. Mel can tell you, from spring training on he just didn't feel right. It was just something that nagged him all year. Finally we shut him down. Hopefully that stuff is behind him.

We're hoping he'll go back and remember one or two or three of the wonderful things we're doing. And that he'll remember us as one of the places on the map.

We're hoping he'll get a couple of short runs for a couple of touchdowns and bring home that Steelers victory.

We're hoping he could be a 50-foot shot putter. We're really counting on him to be a consistent point scorer for us in that event.

We're hoping he can give us a little spark with his bat when Gregg Zaun doesn't play. He's part of the future.

We're hoping he can come back within three to five weeks. We're anticipating that it be closer to three weeks, as soon as it's safely possible.

We're hoping having this will spark interest. Some new kids might try it out because we have the place, and some other kids might stick with it more because they will see more improvement from the training we can do here.

We're hoping for the momentum (from the win), but not (an emotional) high,

We're hoping for the best, but there's not much you can do about it either way.

We're hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.

We're hoping for the best and preparing for everything else. We're going to look at our internal options and keep our external conversations going.

We're hoping for the 'bad news is good news' syndrome -- that we will continue to see signs of a slowing economy and that will make the Fed more accommodating.

We're hoping for stellar attendance at the events. I can't say enough about what it means. Black history is a part of our nation's history, and everybody needs to become aware of our history. I hope people will come out and support the events.

We're hoping for downtown hotel stays. We're hoping for the volume of downtown dining to increase.

We're hoping for congressional relief dollars to help expand the campaign.

We're hoping for another bountiful harvest again this year.

We're hoping for a great recovery, but it's just too early to know.

We're hoping for a good turnout and looking for some legislative action for the environment. We need good strong support so we can get funding for our natural resources.

We're hoping for a breakthrough in our next meeting.

We're hoping for a big year. We have a lot of people back from last year and we think we can be better than we were last year. We have a tough schedule in the beginning so we're going to see where we're at right away.

We're hoping by the time we roll around in the fall we could take that variable of 'How much does a guy really know?' out of it. If he is struggling with the learning of it, he is probably not going to play. If he understands it, now it is more of a competition.

We're hoping by the end of the week to have it in place.

We're hoping by that next official mini-camp in early June that you're going to see him spinning the ball around and throwing it. Now to what degree and how hard and how deep, I can't tell you. I don't know that yet.

We're hoping by June to start ... with the water lines.

We're hoping Butler will only be out for two to four weeks,

We're hoping before Feb. 16 comes we can wrap this up.

We're hoping and praying that this will motivate someone to come forward.

We're hoping and praying that money will be available, ... Our concern is that everyone has been kind to the hurricane victims but we need to keep some money locally.

We're hoping and believing that when the right thing is done, the city will work in cooperation (with Schuler) in terms of getting sewer service, which absolutely needs to happen.

We're hoping 2006 will be the end of her medications, and when you're off, you're in remission. There is no cure, only remission.
