I think we have always tried to let the athletes work this out among themselves, with us sort of getting in the middle and mediating, and I think suspensions for what happened this past weekend, it was discussed and we felt that the points and the fines were enough at that point. |
I think we have to be concerned that there are still people within the nationalist and loyalist community who still believe that the way forward is to attack in a consistent basis in order to undermine and destroy all the work that the pro-agreement parties have been involved in. |
I think we made some mistakes, and a great team like Centralia will capitalize. It's hard to play the same team three times, especially when you see the same game plan. You hope for the right adjustments and capitalize where you have advantages. We just fell a little short today. |
I think we need to work on our passing a little bit. We haven't blocked too many balls lately, so hopefully we can focus on passing and our blocking. Our defense has been coming around, but I'd say blocking and passing are two of the big keys we need to focus on from here on out. |
I think we're stuffed, more stuffed than we've ever been. If this is the bunch that's going to help them deliver cricket for the next six months, I don't know what they are going to be delivering at the end of it. I don't think it's going to be cricket, it's going to be a corpse. |
I think we've been probably disrespected more than any team in the league this year. I think we've been given up on by a lot of media people, a lot of fans, our own fans, other people around the league, and I think if there's one team that feels like they're disrespected it's us. |
I think we've made nice progress, but it's going to be interesting to see if we lose any of the progress that we've made because of the long layoff. Nobody really knows. ... It's sort of like starting over. They just start over with a little bit more knowledge of what's going on. |
I think without the fee council will have to work hard to figure out what appropriations they're going to be cutting, ... I don't see it any other way than services not being compromised, but services being lost, there will be some things that aren't going to be able to get done. |
I think, with the exception of base running mistakes, we looked very good. The defense was totally solid; especially tonight, we made some really nice plays. We hit the ball as hard as you can possibly hit it, but it just didn't have eyes at times, but overall I was very pleased. |
I thought Aaron wrestled a very good match. The Bailey kid is the best wrestler in the nation, and Aaron was tied with him until the final 20 seconds. Wrestling kids of that caliber is why we come to these tournaments. It's a great experience and does nothing but make you better. |
I thought about it before the play even happened. When the ball comes to me with the bases loaded, you know they're going to try to scratch a run across. I just put everything I had behind it. Everyone on the field and in the stands were so excited. I got caught up in the moment. |
I thought he did a good job fighting and competing. I never got a sense he wanted out of the game. I really was pleased with him about that. [He] wasn't perfect; missed some reads and has to work on blocking. Like I said, for not having a lot of help [up front], he did all right. |
I thought I was having a heart attack or something. They gave me a shot of adrenaline and something else for the asthma so I could do the game the next night. They thought I was crazy to do it. They wanted me to go in the hospital for three days. But I was able to get through it. |
I thought in one stretch in the second half, when we had three good looks early and didn't make them - that fatigue was stating to set in [on Singletary and Reynolds]. Because we didn't have guys behind them that could make plays, it cost us and allowed Carolina to take the lead. |
I thought it was really important to educate the people on this faceless type of music because there is a face, there is an origin, and that origin is Detroit. To understand the music, you have to understand the city. And to understand the city, you have to understand its people. |
