Seventh Quotations

It's a lot cooler for me pitching in the seventh or eighth inning than it is going 5 1/3. Your manager likes it a lot more, too.

I was in seventh grade at St. Matthew's. The teachers would tell me, 'God loves you,' and then whack a ruler across my hand. 'Well,' I'd say, 'if God loves me, can you call God? Can you ask Him if it's all right that I didn't do my homework? If it's not, then let Him hit me.'

We started learning a new dive on platform before this competition and Steve had a little bit of a mental lapse in that he performed the new dive instead of what we had entered him to perform and thus automatically received no points on that dive.

We know he has ability, but he's inexperienced. So I thought losing Colon was a bad break for them and a good one for us. Mike trusted him right down to the seventh inning, and unfortunately, we couldn't cash in on some of the opportunities we had.

We have a solid five and some good competition for those sixth and seventh spots.

We have no illusions about the fact that our product has to be compelling. We also believe it has to be unique. Who wants to watch the seventh clone of a different network?

We're playing every game as if it's the seventh inning. We knew we had to crawl our way back into this thing. I think we did that today.

Seventh out of 16 isn't a bad finish. We had a couple that got away from us that maybe we should have won.

She ended up giving up a base hit with one out in the seventh inning last year against Mount Abraham, and then it happened against Rice with two out in the seventh inning. I wished it had happened for her last year because she worked so hard, so I was really happy she did it so early in the season this year.

She's a freshman with three years' experience. We've had her since seventh grade.

She (Lalonde) lost her composure a little bit in the seventh inning. She struggled a little bit. But this shouldn't have been a 5-1 game. We didn't play our best game.

One of legendary architect Pete Dye's most celebrated courses, Teeth of the Dog is named for a local term describing the island's jagged-edged coral reefs.

None of these games are really upsets, like Wichita State or George Mason winning, because if you watch them they are really good teams. There's so much equity it's scary.

I have had the good fortune to experience both the limelight and the traffic light as a musician. I did my first recording on my own and it was available at concerts.

I didn't write anything at all except book reports until I was in seventh grade, and then I wrote mostly poetry for myself.

I can't remember when 40 points was the last place total at indoors.

Growing up, I started to realize I was surrounded by people who were passionately alive. Seventh Street felt raw, but I found it incredibly theatrical.

Getting out of the seventh inning was absolutely crucial in staying in the ball game. It kept both teams on even keel rather than giving them the upper advantage to where we had to fight from behind.

He was as sharp as he could be. He was just great. He was so sharp through the seventh inning that I hated to take him out.

He was a song-and-dance man from the get-go. He was playing piano and singing probably at 10 or 11. The acting bug bit him in seventh grade.

He has not been used a lot recently. He needed to throw tonight, so he was going to have to go. I actually debated bringing him in in the seventh if we had gotten in trouble. He was going to have to work hard tonight.

He got out there and did what we asked him to do. We had a good plan going in. He had a great first four innings, and then the fifth, sixth and seventh it looked like they got after him a little bit. He fought through it and made big pitches when he needed to.

We can finish as high as seventh or eighth and then we would be playing either Miami or N.C. State. If we can build on some of the things we've done well the last couple of games and get some momentum going for the ACC tournament, then we will feel confident about our chances.

There is huge irony here. Six Democrats in Congress were eliminated, but the seventh victim may turnout to be the author of the plan.

To come seventh at the Olympics after a year of sitting on the couch isn't horrible. But I wanted to win.

What we wanted to do with our defensemen recruits was add some size and reach to protect the front of our net. And we also wanted to add some offensive punch. All three defensemen are offensive-minded. One of the reasons we were average offensively last year was because we were seventh in the league in offensive production from our defensemen.

Had he kept his nose clean and gone back to school next year, a first-round selection would have been a very, very distinct possibility. But now with all the trouble that he's had, from arrests, obviously, the on-field stuff, the maturity concerns, I think he's going to fall, for sure to day two, and I can see a case where he falls to maybe the sixth or seventh round.

(Gonzales') curve ball was working and he was hitting his spots. And then in the seventh Levi (Hernadez) came in and brought the heat.

He should be worried about me? I don't think he's worried. His seventh Grand Slam final, he won six of them. But I think it will be a great match. I'll fight for it. I think he will fight for it. May the best win.

He's going to be a 3, 4, 5 hitter throughout his career. He's not going to sit in the seventh spot. And I don't know if you've noticed lately but we haven't been winning too many games, so something's broke.

Hopefully we can get somebody who can run. I want a second hitter so we can put Iguchi down in the sixth or seventh spot to get more (run production) out of him.

We lost one we should have won. We just let our guard down, lost our focus in the seventh inning and watched it slip away.

He was in the bullpen for them earlier in the year, and I think that was only his seventh start. Left-handed, running it up there at 92 with a good breaking ball, he was definitely carving us up. He threw very, very well.

He controlled the top of the third. From the fourth through seventh innings, he was really on top of his game.

I was looking for seventh but the main objective was to get off of the bottom. And we did that and now we have several kids competing at the national level.

Just so many times before, we've had a lead in the bottom of the seventh and then not come away with the win. I mean, holy cow, their pinch hitter comes up with two outs and two strikes and slaps an outside fastball by the second baseman, and you go holy cow again. I mean, you think, what do we have to do to win?

I thought we were rolling along really good, but we just couldn't close the door in the seventh. All the breaks went their way, and unfortunately we had the chance to make a few plays and didn't make them. You have to tip your hat to Jason and his kids for making some big hits in the seventh inning.

It hit the end of my glove. It just sneaked out of there. I know he was trying to throw up and away. You obviously don't want to throw it there. You don't want him to get the barrel on the ball. But that's not where we lost the game. We lost the game by not scoring a run with Wes Helms leading off the seventh with a double.

I was cruising along and I felt like I was throwing the ball well, and got there in the seventh and all of a sudden I started getting some balls up and it got away from me. No matter who you face, you're going to give up hits if you don't execute pitches down in the zone.

I thought we'd be sixth or seventh after the first day.

I thought the girls skied pretty well. We're the seventh best team in the state. That sounds just about right.

I think we're going to have a great bullpen. We've got a lot of talent and the guys we've added just make us stronger. If you give us a lead in the seventh inning, I like our chances of holding it.

I think we need to play in more close games like that. We got nervous in seventh inning. We just need to be more confident.
