Tell me the size of a mammal and I can tell you, to about 85 per cent level, pretty much everything about its physiology and life history, such as how long it is going to live, how many offspring it will have, the length of its aorta, how long it will take to mature, what is the pulse rate in the ninth branch of its circuitry.

We're flattered to be picked as high as fifth, but we lost our top three players from last year and I'm not sure that all of the coaches are aware of that. I believe that our competitiveness will allow us to finish near the top half of the conference but every match for us will be a grind. Whether we're playing the team picked first or picked ninth - we'll have to show up and fight our hearts out in order to have a chance to win.

Wow. He's doing a great job of coming through for us, of clutching up. He's playing some great ball. That play in the ninth was huge. He's playing inspiring ball right now.

We have to have a strong ACC Tournament. We were supposed to be like a 3 seed (in the NCAA), but I am pretty sure we are going to drop down from there. I think we have to go into the ACC Tournament like we did last year, knowing we had to win to get in. We have to win games. We don't want to be an eighth or ninth seed.

Obviously, every time we have a lead in the ninth inning I want to be in there. I think they are trying to help me, not overuse me. I think they're doing the right thing, trying to take care of me, trying to protect me.

I did want to go out there for the ninth inning. I had good stuff and I felt like I could have done it, but I'm just glad I helped this team win. We really needed a win.

I felt I didn't have a ninth in me,

I felt good. I definitely felt better than my last two starts mechanically. My sinker was better. My cutter was better. My command was better.

If a team plays a zone it doesn't make a lot of sense to attack it if they are the one seed and you are the ninth seed. We just wanted to keep the game close as long as possible. If they played man we would have attacked it. But I wouldn't be doing my job if I let my team attack the best team in the state.

I expect them to go out and play their best each game as a team. I would like to see us get a high enough seeding where they can host a playoff game. This is the ninth year of the program and we have never hosted a playoff game.

I enjoy this role, but I don't think it was a silver lining because it was a grueling 12 months of rehab before that.

He understands the mentality of why we use him in the ninth in close ballgames because he's the best pitcher we have available out there,

I always preach, attack the fastball. We set the stage in the ninth and both hitters got a 2-1 fastball.

He got attached to that, watching that. We talked about that in eighth grade, ninth grade.

He never has a giveaway at-bat. And he's totally team-oriented. Hitting in the ninth spot, he helps create things when our order comes around.

Have the lead before you face the ninth inning,

He's held up well, ... When you're the ninth pick, you're not supposed to look like a rookie; you're supposed to look sharp, and that's what I expect out of him. He's a very mature young man, he's studied a lot of film, and I don't look at him as a rookie. When you're a top-10 pick, you're expected to come in and play.

He's going to get the ball in the ninth inning. We'll see how it goes. We've got a guy who is a complete novice in that environment. But what I see is a player that an opportunity has been created for him and he's seizing the opportunity.

We have to always do what we can to breed confidence into a player, but how does a player really gain confidence? It's being successful.

It comes down to confidence.

He was great. He was terrific. He wanted to go out for the ninth but his pitch count got him, not the other team.

He did more than he needed to do. He did the job because nobody could do the job (on Saturday). Unfortunately, he just gave up that key walk in the ninth that ended up being the winning run.

He knew what everybody was capable of already because he's had us since the ninth grade. We weren't scared to mess up on the court, and that took a lot of pressure off of us.

Growth will continue to come from private spending, exports of electronics and commodities, and the boost from the Ninth Malaysia Plan.

I thought about staying for probably two or three seconds after they hired Marvin Lewis , ... But the biggest thing to me is that they're not just a coach away from winning. They're not like one or two players away. It's something that's going to take a process, and that process will take three or four years. And three or four years to me is my eighth and ninth years in the league. Who knows? I may not even be playing at that point. I didn't want to take that chance.

I think batting ninth really gives me a chance to see everything that the pitches has. I've probably seen him throw all his pitches to the first eight hitters.

I think it was makeup and knowing his stuff was good. He had two outstanding pitches, but I felt he was the one guy in-house who really had the intangibles. I'm not going to act like I was that smart that he'd do the job the way he's done. I thought internally, he's the best candidate. I'm a big believer that the ninth inning is done as much on makeup as stuff.

It gets all the kinks out early. Maybe after the first day some guys were sore, but now that we're getting used to it we're all better. The more live pitches you see the better. It's like we're already on the ninth day now.

It gives you a routine. I just need to get outs, whether it's the first or ninth inning.

It has been a special year for a lot of reasons. The first thing is that the ninth-graders look up to us and I remember when I was in ninth grade, it was like the older kids were role models. I'm happy now that I can be a role model to those guys.

Life's like a ball game. You gotta take a swing at whatever comes along before you wake up and find out it's the ninth inning.

I saw the kind of determination he has when he laid off the breaking pitch against the Angels in the ninth inning Wednesday, ... Right-hander vs. right-hander -- (the Angels') Frankie Rodriguez is no day at the beach. But Betancourt made the adjustment and came up with that hit.

I remember when we did a concert after the 9/11 tragedy ? a performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony ? everybody just rose up 10 notches above what they normally could do ? and it was a great performance.

Robert has started for us since the ninth grade. I have enjoyed coaching him and the time we spent together. I wish we could keep longer.

Playoff games are usually decided in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings by bullpens, closers, the bench,

(Paul) is a clutch player. He's been playing varsity hockey since he was in ninth grade. That's who you want to get the puck to with the game on the line.

Our offense got going after he moved to third. We moved him from ninth to eighth to sixth to third, which is a rough responsibility for a player in his first year in the big leagues, and he hasn't blinked.

Some of these people are not going home. We have a number from New Orleans who lived in the Ninth Ward, and know they have nothing to go home to. Some have found jobs in our area and are looking for jobs. They're doing all the things they need to be doing to be part of our culture.

Some guys (came) as advertised. C.C. (Coco Crisp) at the top of the lineup, Mark generating runs, David doing what David always does, Coco made a great catch in the ninth inning. This is a very good team. Offensively, we?re going to give you nine at-bats that are going to wear you out. Later in the game, the third time through this lineup, it?s very tough to get this team out.

Lit is awesome I used to rock out to them in ninth grade.

I think I'm going to be a late bloomer. Marco Coleman was here a couple years ago, and he didn't have his best season until his ninth year in the league. There's no reason I can't be like that. I definitely think the best is yet to come with me.

I think it would be fitting if we could lift Suffredin and his posh Evanston home and drop it smack in the middle of New Orleans' flood-ravaged lower Ninth Ward, ... I can just see Larry now, sitting on his veranda, trying to fend off looters and 'gators with green tea and granola bars. Yes, it's a silly visualization, but it illustrates just how out of touch Larry Suffredin is with the world lying beyond his cobblestone street.
