Larry Walker Quotations

We knew this was going to happen, ... We knew probably a week before the playoffs we'd get it done. We did it. Everything has been right on time. I just hope we get the same results as the other shots. I think I played fairly well after the shots, so hopefully that will continue.

We knew this was going to happen and we did it. Everything's been right on target, and hopefully I get the same result that I did from the other shots when I came back. I think I played fairly well after the shots.

We were at triple-match point, now we are at double- match point, to use a tennis term, but we still have a steep hill to climb,

The production of the bio fuels within rural communities, will create jobs and other economic opportunities.

Softball Canada wants us to bid on the next one right away,

If we could get the fans here to wear what they want while we're batting and then when they come up to bat, if everyone would put on a black shirt, it would really help us out in the field, ... The glare from the red and white people are wearing makes it hard to pick the ball up off the bat.

I feel fine, that covers everything. I got my treatment, elected not to hit, I'll come back tomorrow and do some treatment and maybe hit, maybe not, I'm not sure.

Great things happened in the game today, and it happens every day. The obvious stuff gets looked at, and the not-so-obvious doesn't. I'm looking at the not-so-obvious.

I don't think it's been officially announced. You're hearing it from my mouth. It's official. I'm retired. I don't know what the details are in making it official. Don't know, don't care. It just means I have to be on TV again.

I got a couple of slaps on the shoulder, you know, 'nice career,'

He's done a heck of a job in taking Incarnate Word to a new level. He is a master marketer; he knows how to keep the name of Incarnate Word in the spotlight.

He caught a spike. We caught a break there.

He learned a lot on the living room floor. He comes from a wrestling background. He has great body awareness and that's the toughest thing to coach. He knows where he is at at all times and that is developed over a long period of time, from continuing to wrestle.

I think it'll get talked about a lot more if we win two more games. Obviously that's an amazing feat, but two more wins is going to make it even better.

I think both teams know we've got some work to do. Last year, we went seven games and had to grind it out each game. I don't see why this year would be any different.

I was mad at the pitch before being called a strike, I was mad I swung at that, and then he hung me one, ... So, madness, madness, happiness, all in the matter of a minute. Stupid.

I said 'hit the train (atop the left-field wall) for $1 million,' ... I almost had to pay off.

Our vision is to rethink how many of the material needs of society can be met by using renewable agriculturally based raw materials, ... it is one of very few institutions in the world that can bring together so many physical and life scientists, engineers and social scientists with the talent and interest in sustainable development, or that has access to so many bright young minds.

Reggie? Good luck. Congratulations. ... You guys win the championship down there?

I wish I had a picture of Mike when he was in seventh grade. You wouldn't think a kid could improve as much as he has in the last five years. This all came down to one thing -- hard work.

I struck out my last at-bat. That (stinks).

I think I've made that clear that more than likely this will be my last year,

I thought I saw signs that maybe he was hurting with the leg. He got up to the plate and never swung. It looked like he didn't want to get on base a second time.

That was it, probably. Unfortunately, we came up a little short.

That was a match we needed to win, going head-to-head with Bald Eagle. Garrett came out and wrestled six minutes. He deserved to win.

(Willis) is hard to face; it's no fun. I told them not to get caught up in all of his motion (in the windup), just react to the ball after that. He likes to throw the fastball. Eventually, you're going to get a fastball. Hopefully, he puts one in a place where you can crush it.

We were making more noise in the dugout than there was in the entire ballpark. It was a bit weird.

Usually with every injury you put it aside and you just go out and do it. The only time you're reminded is if you do something you're not able to do and you feel it, but I won't be thinking about it, it'll be another game.

We got off to a good start in the second half and then hit a lull. We got in some foul trouble and got out of sync with the lineup we had in there. But defensively, our kids kept plugging away. The longer it went, the better we got defensively. Gravette was pretty much one shot and out late in the game and we took advantage.

When David gets two strikes, you still know he'll put the ball in play. David doesn't have bad at-bats. Ever.

To their credit, they worked hard and had the intensity to win those one-point bouts. We're one or two wins away from changing that and getting things our way. All in all, I was really pleased with the kids. They wanted it. I'm disappointed for them. I think they have their eye on a bigger prize next weekend.

We're the WWF outfield, I guess, ... We've been through some rough times, but we're good to go. Our pains are minor right now.

You hope with playing South Africa first, you can start well and get on a roll. This has the potential to become a big thing in our country and pick up steam. We're not just sending a bunch of guys into it. We've got proven major leaguers on this roster.

We have to deal with Roy first and foremost.

You give someone like that an opportunity like that, he's going to hurt you, ... He's too good.

There's no place like St. Louis. There's no place like St. Louis.

I've never heard 43,000 people shut up so fast. The only thing you could hear was our bench.

I've never heard 43,000 people shut up, just like that, in my life. One second, you could barely hear in here. And the next second, all that noise was gone. And the only noise you could hear was on our bench.

I've never heard 43,000 people shut up just like that.

I've never heard 43,000 people just shut up like that. The noise just ... wasn't there.

I've never heard 43,000 people get so quiet so quickly, ... You could barely hear and then boom, the only noise you heard was our dugout.

It was an ugly night, ugly swings, ... Tonight, like every night, was a big challenge for me. Fortunately, if he threw 100 pitches, that was the worst pitch he threw all night, and fortunately it was to me.

The thing I'm worried about is this deferred money these people have to pay in 10 years, 20 years. What's going to happen then? We really couldn't get any answers on that.

I've never been a fan of guys who retire and then un-retire,

(Dennis) shot lights out. He doesn't shoot lights out, we probably win the ball game.

Your band is going to a local restaurant to get the waste oil to run its engine, there's folks down in New York City very interested in that.

This isn't the way I wanted to go out.

They're both real versatile for us in that that they're 6-2, 6-1 and they can defend on the perimeter and inside. They're great kids. They come to practice and work hard all the time. They're fun to coach.

They're on Pacific Coast time. It took them awhile to wake up.

I tried to do something as simple as unloading some wood from my truck and the next day I was in a neck brace. I'm not going to put my body through it. My time is up, unfortunately.

It's not where we want to be, but the other team is pretty good we're playing. They didn't come back from 15 games under .500 because of a fluke. They've got a great pitching staff, and they're showing that. We've got a great pitching staff, and we're showing it. It's a matter of who gets the break at the right time. Today they got the breaks.

It's always good to start the meet with a kid who has 100 wins and a lot of falls.

It's tough to swallow. It's tough to swallow for everyone in this clubhouse.

That's one thing we stressed, was working to not give up the bonus points. I said, if we brawl with them for six minutes, let's see what happens. Our kids gave a great effort. Last week, we didn't wrestle to our top against State College. We were kind of lethargic, really lazy. It was a lackadaisical performance. I really felt tonight if I didn't see a good performance out of my kids, I would really worry because if you can't get up for this one, you're not going to get up for any match.

Suppan brings consistency, but he needs to start hitting home runs, ... It's exciting. It's always exciting to see pitchers hit home runs. He probably never thought he would be the one to do it. It was a pathetic home run trot, but it was fun to watch.

It was a great success. We'll make a profit of between $60,000 and $80,000.

It was a good series last year, seven games that were all a grind. I don't see this series being any different.

It was just a way to save gasoline. Heck, I shower with the guy, so a ride home is no big deal.

This is kind of a cut-throat decision for teams and players.

Any time you get to contribute, it's a blast,

Any time you stay away from somebody of that quality it's great because you don't have to face him, which is hard to do. It means that the game's out of hand. ... I imagine we'll probably see him at some point on Saturday unless it's a complete and utter blowout.

The kids gave a good effort. The guys were fighting out there in every match. We avenged a loss to them so we'll take that.

I know we'll be talking about it for a long time, ... But I think it will get talked about a lot more if we win two more games.

If you can't feel relaxed around Reggie Sanders, you're a nervous and self-conscious person. They could lock you into a room of strangers, and you would feel like you were his brother right away.

I'll miss it to a certain extent, but I've always said when the time comes (to retire) I would know it and I'd quit doing. I felt like this was the time.

I hope he streaks for another couple weeks - with his clothes on, of course, ... The jokes? The jokes now are, 'Knock it off, Reggie. Somebody else wants to be able to drive somebody in sometime.' 'We enjoy touching the plate, though, so, uh, keep it up.' 'We'll score 'em. You drive us in.'

He's the first (Pea Ridge boys basketball player) to sign in quite a while. We are proud and thankful for the effort he has given us over the years he's been here.

By and large, we're looking at lower pollution values with bio-diesel.

Genomics, nanobiotechnology and breakthroughs in molecular biology, genetics and biological engineering have opened up a broad spectrum of opportunities and challenges for manipulating microbial and plant systems to produce novel organic compounds and to meet part of the U.S. and world energy needs. Opportunities abound for integrating these advances in engineering and science into regional, national and global efforts to develop sustainable industries and communities.

If I don't play next season, I won't be in any shape to play in the tournament,

I don't want to be one of those guys that say goodbye to everybody and say 'This is my last fight, it's my last game,' and here they are playing four years later.

Carp really needed that. That was a big boost for him.
