One of the toughest things in the world to try to stave off is when you walk somebody, especially the leadoff man in the bottom of the ninth, and that's exactly what happened. It's tough. It's unfortunate. More times than not, it's going to come back to haunt you, and it did. |
One thing that would help immensely is to keep the good rivalries, build them up and make sure the better teams play each other so people know it's going to be a good game. If you're the fan of a good team and you know it's going to win big, it's not exciting or fun to watch. |
Orchestras are having trouble across the country. Lots of orchestras have deficits, but the larger ones have a better cash flow and are not threatened. All orchestras have very large fixed costs, but the smaller ones have the challenges of fundraising and meeting those costs. |
Originally the goal was to work three months out of the year and play actor the rest of the year. With the success of the company, it's now become almost nine-and-a-half months, ... As I always say, there's always the three of us. I mean I'm with Jesus and Santa all the time. |
Originally we were going to put cows on the land. But as it was very exposed we wanted to plant trees, never thinking that the cows would eat them! So we decided on ducks instead. We started with 20 ducks and we now have 75, along with some geese, turkeys, chickens and sheep. |
Our biggest improvement is our pitching staff. We have a much deeper stable of arms and our (Nos.) 1 and 2 are back, so we have experience. Our pitchers have worked hard and learned new pitches. They're going to keep us in games. We just have to find a way to score some runs. |
Our concept is not so much having church on the weekends, but being a church, ... If we had taken that money and built a church, it just would have been a lie. Hurricane Ivan was just a minor inconvenience compared to what's happened (in Waveland). It's Third World in nature. |
Our concern is isolated to the De Luz area. It's an area that is normally served by the Metropolitan Water District aqueducts. Those aqueducts are not operating, so we have to serve that area through a series of small pipes and pump stations that aren't made for that purpose. |
Our creation of a 50th Anniversary Gold Medal to honor Ms. Winfrey is an expression of gratitude -- not only on the part of our Foundation -- but also on behalf of the publishing community and the millions of readers whose lives have been enriched by her enthusiasm for books. |
Our family has been through hell, and I would like an end to this, ... And if whoever is out there, if it happens to be that Richard is not the one, if he will please come forward and contact us. We need Elizabeth back. I still feel Elizabeth is out there, she needs our help. |

Our game up there last year, we really started to see signs that we were getting better and our young kids were playing hard and learning how to play. I know everybody loves the worst-to-first (analogy), but last year was really just an uncharacteristically bad season for us. |
Our goalkeeper was the biggest factor. He made four top-quality saves and they also hit the woodwork. Marcus has been terrific for us. He is a terrific kicker and superb shot-stopper. He has the World Cup in his sights [with the USA] and his performances need to reflect that. |
