If you hate somebody, it's like a boomerang that misses its target and comes back and hits you in the head. The one who hates is the one who hurts.

A guitar player goes on the road, and he misses his girlfriend for a while, but he manages to get along. A horn player gets out on the road, plays two or three towns, and then he'll get lonely, and next thing you know, he's packed up and left. It's better not to hire him in the first place.

When he misses, he always misses on the side or it rolls around and comes off on that side. I'm thinking, 'Ralph's shooting this, so I'm going to get on that block this time.' Usually I go back down the court. And he shot it and missed and it went right on that side.

She's never been afraid to shoot. She just fires it up there and luckily, most of the time, it goes in. If she'll miss a couple of shots, she's so used to shooting that that's not going to get her down. If she misses five, the sixth one's going up. No hesitation whatsoever.

She kept hitting the lines and going for her shots, but the closer it gets, she misses a smash. They'll go for more risks and you get them out of their comfort zone. That's what sometimes makes a difference.

He was OK. Just OK today. He got through it, but when he misses he misses.

He was really keyed up tonight. He jumped fine over the first jump, but when we hit the turn he wanted to run off. He was jumping nicely the whole way. He never misses any time with his jumps.

He clearly is aiming at the jury pool and aiming at voters, hoping to generate as much sympathy as he can. And it shows DeLay never misses a beat when it comes to fundraising no matter how dark things get.

I think Kerry was pretty upset. He enjoyed being in New York. He misses us as much as many of us miss him. It's going to be tough to see him wearing Raiders black and silver.

I think J-Reed's the best kicker in the league, the best under pressure. How many big kicks has he made for us? He stays calm. You don't ever see him get rattled, even if he misses one. I wouldn't want anybody else out there when the game's on the line.

We had a number of plays yesterday and the week before in the running game where we're one play, one block away.

We probably got away with a few misses on open shots tonight. We made a lot of big shots when they got close tonight, which helped us quite a bit.

We'd like to see him more aggressive attacking the strike zone and being committed to what he's doing. He had a lot of deep counts and a lot of misses off the plate.

He has to get his mind straight and be aggressive.

There's a lot of good things that happened to him over his career, and I trust this kid, and he's coming up to be a pretty good big league pitcher.

Either they run real fast and can't catch or they can catch, but run slow. Or there was some medical issue or character issue.

Craig is a natural goalscorer and very rarely misses in and around the box. He is entitled to be knocking on the manager's door and asking to play.

The misses are hard to recover from. And the pressure on the player is tremendous. Typically, a player drafted No.1, 2 or 3 is on that team because they weren't very good. Now, everybody is labeling that player as the savior. He's just a rookie. That's not fair.

You're not going to shut him out. You have to play your heart out and hopefully, he misses some shots.

There was no quit in us. They just played better. They executed better. They made their free throws, and we did not make our free throws. I think five of the misses were front ends (of one-and-one opportunities).

As we get older... I don't know a single person who has devoted their life to musical theatre who hasn't had a couple of misses as well as a bunch of hits. The misses, we learn a great deal from them.
