[Still, there are exceptions. Such as ESPN's Steve Phillips , perhaps the only general manager who used that behind-the-scenes job as a springboard to a prominent national TV perch.] I had concerns about transitioning into this career, ... I figured the first time a sexy name like (players) Mike Piazza and Al Leiter comes out, I'm the first one out the door. |

Anytime you turn it over in a big game like this it's a momentum swing. I felt like if we weathered the storm in the first three minutes — and we did — we would be all right, but (Summertown's) relentless on defense. |
Ashely Reynolds is a senior and she's supposed to do that. She just ran out of gas there at the end. She held us in there as long as she could. |
Everybody knows that (Alex) Dodson is one of the best players in the district. They did a good job of getting her the ball in the first half, and it seemed every time she touched the ball she scored. |
For a star player, he's one of the lowest-maintenance guys in baseball, ... You didn't have to worry about a late-night phone call, there was no entourage issue with him. He showed up to play every day, played hard and produced. |
I almost didn't believe what I saw. |
I asked one of them their record when they were running the bases in the first inning. |
I don't think they need to apologize to anybody, |
I love the World Baseball Classic. I think it's necessary for the game. We need the international players and market to grow the game and maintain the quality of play. |
I was very proud of our defense in the second half. We had some people step up to the plate and get it done when they really had to tonight. |
I'm proud of the effort at the end. I'm not proud of the way we started. I hope that (Saturday) we can bounce back with that effort we had in the fourth quarter. We're going to Summertown, and I hear it's crazy down there. |

It has such sentimental value. Everyone who had a hand in working on the truck remembered it as a kid. |
Now Alabama is open for people to come dive. |
