Danni Ashe (1968-) |
I played for [coach] Marty Schottenheimer [in Washington] and he knows who his workhorse is. I know him. When a player goes to the media with that frustration, he's going to make sure he is so tired after the next game. He'll have 30 or 40 touches. |
I played it cool because I knew guys would go off and sure enough they did. (By being conservative,) I was able to save a lot of fuel. I was able to go four more laps than everybody else (before pitting) and I think that enabled me to win the race. |
I probably shouldn't say this, but he reminds me of my oldest son. If you watch him, they both have that similar patience at the plate. I've seen him foul off six or seven or eight pitches and then hit a single. He's just a very disciplined hitter. |
I remember he bought me my first Cabbage Patch Kid. When he was younger, he was really quiet. It was kind of like me the younger sister running around, being rambunctious. He'd always bring me around with his friends, and I just loved him to death. |
I rise today to discuss the National Intelligence Reform bill. I commend my colleagues in both Houses for their hard work in coming to an agreement. As with any conference, each voice is heard, but none can dominate and compromise must be achieved. |
I saw him laying there in tears. I felt for him a little bit. He has no reason to cry. He should definitely keep his head up. That's easy to say when you won the game and your opponent lost. But I just really wanted to see him still in a good mood. |
I saw it as a splendid opportunity to trace his intellectual development, starting with the voyage aboard the Beagle, ... He hit upon natural selection at a fairly early stage and his life was really one long argument about the questions it raised. |
I saw the tapes [from last year], and I saw a guy that was uncomfortable and not attacking the ball. But we met and everything went well. We made a lot of progress. I think he's very hungry. I think you're going to see a very different Jeremy Reed. |
I should not let anything like that frustrate me. I feel like I'm the caliber of player who can hit there, but I can't use hitting somewhere else in the lineup as an excuse. Whether I'm hitting third or sixth, I've got to put together good at-bats. |
I so readily accepted Mrs. Howard's invitation to join you today because I am one of the children. And when you are 90 years old you earn the right to call just about anybody a child. I am one of the children who embodies the legacy of Mrs. Howard. |
I spent a special part of my life (in Macon), ... It was my early 20s. It was the '70s. We'd signed to Capricorn and we were touring with all our heroes. I mean, I tell my kids about an almost idyllic scene that was there ... It was a fertile time. |
I spoke to him and he's appreciative of the five great years he's had in Miami. He's proud that he's helped build something, although it's unfortunate that he won't be able to see it to fruition. But he wishes the organization nothing but the best. |
I spoke to my family about it, and they said 'Maybe you should give it a shot before you get too old,' ... I'd been thinking about it, and if you're going to do something, as far as I was concerned you should do it while you're still kind of young. |
I stand ready, personally, to help him in any way that he sees fit, to carry out what I believe is an important public task of healing New Jersey, bringing New Jersey together, of giving New Jersey that brighter future we spoke of in this campaign. |
