Third Quotations | Page 4

We knew they were going to come back. They're a great team. We needed to establish ourselves in the third quarter.

We knew they'd be fired up. We've all gone through something like this during our careers when there's a shakeup or a tough change and you band together and get fired up. They battled and competed and found a way to get that third goal that we didn't get.

We know we can win. That's what we're all here for. . . . This is my third year here and it's like it's my third different team, but we can win.

We know from talking to users that not only do they want to know what the benchmarks are, they want to know that they came from an independent third party.

Wake up, O men and women of the third millennium!

With this overlap in mind, (takeover) interest from third parties may well be limited.

Would Corey Perry have won the scoring title last year if he sat out in the third period all the time in the games that weren't close. I don't think he would've won it. You have to think about things like that. It's important.

'Writing' always means 'not writing' to me because I will do anything to put it off. I think this is mainly because writing anything down and then handing it over to a third party - especially in comedy - is such an exposing act that you naturally want to delay the process.

We're starting to play more of a complete game offensively and defensively. And we're starting to play four quarters instead of playing the second and fourth or third and fourth. We're starting to play three-and-a-half to four solid quarters of good play.

We're seeing some moderation in the pace of manufacturing activity as the third quarter gets under way.

We're rounding third base with the wind at our back. It gives us additional momentum.

We're looking for a guy to play in the third pair. Be safe. Be solid. And that's really Cory's calling card.

We have to get more traffic in front of the net. Those second and third chance opportunities won't come unless we start getting our sticks on some rebounds. But Belfour didn't make our job easy tonight.

We have no chance of reaching third place anymore, which is why we are concentrating solely on Seville.

We have music every week, but on Third Friday it is usually standing room only.

We have so many other areas with road and drainage needs, I have a problem with that. I've been working day and night to get Somerset Lane and Pine Avenue paved. You get to the north end of Pine Avenue and it looks like a Third World country.

Whenever you have a number four ranking, and we may be moved up to third this week, you can get a big target on your back. I've told our guys that if you stand still, you'll be an easy target, but if you keep moving, it makes it hard for people to zero in on you. So that's what we've got to do, keep moving forward.

Whenever we play L.A., we look at their stats and they're one of the most penalized teams in the league. They play hard all the time, right on the edge. So you've got to expect to get power plays. We lost a little bit of our discipline in the third period and had to kill some too, but in the first two periods, we kept on task.

When you're up 5-3 going into the third period, you expect to win. They won because they worked harder than we did. It's as simple as that.

We wanted to win the last three games to stay in pace with Dayton. They got third place locked up. We have fourth place pretty well locked up.

We were awful, terrible, we didn't play well, ... We can't stop the run on defense. Offense, you can't win in this league with six points. We were 0-for-11 on third down. We couldn't protect. They outplayed us. Right now, we are a bad football team.

We were a team without a lot of respect all year. I guarantee there wasn't many picking us third (in the state tournament).

We were a sick team at the start of it, and then I thought we became a banged-up team as well, ... A third of the team is feeling like it should be in bed. We need a bye right now. It was a long preseason. And now we're a little banged up on top of that. I just need to get these guys a break.

We were always overlooked. We don't know why that is. We've got the third best defense in the league. Sooner or later, we'll get the respect and recognition that we deserve." ()

We were too rushed in the first half and in the third we calmed down. We executed better.

We've won one game, that is it. I think what we did is just turn this into a series. ... As the series goes on, you have to play better. We know Ottawa is going to play better the third game.

We were in a position to win the game even after halftime. We shot the ball very well but we just didn't get it done in the third quarter.

We are entering the fourth quarter with our inventories in good shape, and we remain optimistic that it will be a good retail Christmas season.

We are hitting on all cylinders and put the game away by the third inning. It was the most home runs in one game since I've been the coach here and we did this all off of their No. 1 pitcher.

We did not establish a third show because of the construction projects that we knew were going to take place in many of the locations where we had work.

We did give up some second and third shots. (Mercer) shot the lights out and played well, but they didn't do anything we didn't expect them to. The difference was we didn't handle it very well.

We did get in foul trouble in that third quarter but I thought the kids who came in did a good job. Give Clark County credit; they made big shots and we didn't. We only shot 40 percent, which is very uncharacteristic for us.

We did fairly well considering we've only had most of the girls for about a week and the Texas schools were in their third or fourth meet.

We did everything we were suppose to do in the first and second (quarters). I have always preached that anytime you can play a good team that they're going to come out (strong) in the third, especially in the third, and Newport came out in the third and we threw the ball away and the game got away. We came back in the fourth and we battled our way back as much as possible.

What we're doing today is no different than what our Third World brothers and sisters have been doing for years.

There is a possibility of a third vacancy with Justice Stevens, that has been rumored, ... He is 85, but in good health. But if that comes in the next year -- with three new justices -- a shift in the court. And that's a problem for both the right and the left.

There are no grounds for concern, ... The Baltic Sea pipeline is a European scale project that is not directed against anybody and that should be open to later participation by third parties.

There are some things that you notice, and some things that you really need to be presented with to really notice them. Like maybe hitting a ground ball to third base, a chopper or something like that, something that you might beat out when you were younger. Maybe it takes you a little bit longer to get to first base. That half-step might not be there. I think there is a period of time when you get frustrated because your body doesn't react the way you want it to for a while.

The only way you're going to accomplish that is through a mandated savings requirement of some sort, ... only a third who say they are able financially to save.

The only way to tell you that is, we've achieved more of our goals than at this time last year. Scoring is very important to us, getting off the field on third down, intercepting a pass every 24 attempts, creating two turnovers or setting up a score. Those are big stats.

There are five prayers and five times of day for prayer; the five have five names. Let the first be truthfulness, the second honest living, and the third charity in the Name of God. Let the fourth be good will to all, and the fifth the praise of the Lord.

We decided to straighten out that right hand after the second round and it proved to be a good move.

We just didn't get in enough rounds. I know we would've worn her out.

We decided to go to him early (in the third quarter) and tried to ride him. He played better and much more aggressive, but we need him to do that at the start of games.

We decided that either the third time was the charm, or at the very least, the last time either of us was going through it.

We're playing pretty sound, fundamentally. We're going from first to third when we need to. We're picking up big runs. We're running the bases good. We're doing a lot of little things right.

We've been here for three years, and Coach expects the best from us. We knew we needed to give a better effort if we wanted that third gold ball.

We thought we could pressure them and we think we are capable of taking away penetration. I thought in the third quarter we did the job.

We really got going in the second half of the second period and in the third period, ... We got good scoring chances, we got the puck to the net, we got our speed going.

We're adding this third piece, which is the integration of the online community and online services.

We're about to enter this third phase which is the ongoing, long-term support for these folks, with housing vouchers, jobs and transportation options,

We're a bigger, stronger team, and I think we wore them down in the late third and fourth quarters.

We ran out of pitching. This was our third game this week, and we just lacked the intensity. After losing the first game, we came out flat. It was a lack of effort all the way around.

We ran ourselves out and took the bats out of some hands in a few innings. We made outs at bases we shouldn't have, trying to be too daring. If we would have played a little smarter we could have ended the game in five and saved some pitching. We wanted to take some chances going to second not third and home and we made some obvious misreads.

We ran into a really good basketball team. They played at a level that our girls are not accustomed to playing against. Our girls didn't know how to handle it until it was late in the third and fourth. Our intensity level picked up, but it was too little, too late.

We ran a first market test in 2004, and we estimated that a third of the total images -- a third of the total sheets we printed -- were in fact corporate logos.

We held Sacramento to nine points in the third quarter.

We hope we won't have to go to that third point guard (Slater) very often.

We didn't want to jeopardize either of them (Lane or Gunderson) picking up their third foul. We were just able to maintain in the first half and then we got off to a quick start in the second half.

The real damage to the company is that we had historically been an innovative company, bringing out products that have unique features, ... Our new product development has essentially been shut down for three years because of this.

There is a lot of damage, ... This is my third visit to the area in the last few days and I can assure you that the Department of Agriculture is doing its part in the recovery effort.

There is clearly a third group out there now: Parents who feel they can do a better job than the public schools,

There is certainly some momentum of him coming off such a strong year and joining our team. It cheers people up when a guy like that comes over. Both of us have had a pretty good start, second, third in points, hopefully we can improve on that.

There is no doubt it is all related, ... The enemy will try a second time and a third time.

When it was 2-0 and we had some opportunities to make it 2-1, that could have been big for us. When they scored their third goal, and then their fourth goal right after that, it took a lot of wind out of our sails.

The Palm team again delivered stellar results on multiple fronts: revenue, units shipped, profitability, and content and platform momentum. This is our third consecutive quarter of 100-percent-plus year-over-year revenue growth, and we achieved it in an environment of increased competition and continued component constraints.

We're just trying to get him more at-bats. We're not trying to make him a third baseman, although he'd be more valuable if he could play another position.

We have a secret project at Third Man where we want to have the first vinyl record played in outer space. We want to launch a balloon that carries a vinyl record player.

We have a saying in Japanese that 'the third time will reveal the truth' and since we've lost twice to South Korea and both were games that we lost by one run and gave up two runs in the eighth inning, we would love the opportunity to meet them again and win.

We have a problem playing in the third quarter and that showed tonight. We just fall behind and have to find a way to fight back into it. If I knew why we were a bad third-quarter team, I would make those changes. It's a mystery to me.

We're looking not just at a coastal event, but a second (or) third event that will occur over the next few days. So it will be an enormous effort on our part.

We're heading for our third final in four years and we want to do our very best to not let that go.
