I spoke to him on the phone later at length, and he gave me details from the scene and quotes from people he had interviewed. It was a fairly smooth experience -- he's reported from scenes of attacks for us before, and he knew the depth of reporting that is required for our stories. |
I submit to you that even today, as tough as things seem, it is much better to be us than them, ... Why do I say this? First, they have no plan. Second, if they ever announce one it will be consistent with their philosophy of bigger and bigger government and higher and higher taxes. |
I suppose once in a while, a filmmaker makes a movie that's more than just a sum of its parts, more than good acting or good filmmaking. It's something else that has nothing to do with what you've done. This is in 1999, made by people in 1999 for people in 1999 about people in 1999. |
I swear I thought my hamstring was going to pull. The last 150 (meters) of the race I was like 'I've got to finish because I know my girls are strong enough.' This is my senior present. I don't know what more I could ask for after four years of being out here. I'm proud of my girls. |
I take pride if you can do either of two things -- make a child fall in love with baseball or make an adult remember where and when and why and how they fell in love with baseball. I like to do that for 81 [home] games, but if you can do that on Opening Day, then the game is reborn. |
I think [Saturday] will go a long way in how he actually feels going into the season. [The number of] pitches won't be a problem, it's just the amount of times that he's been out there where he feels comfortable with his mechanics and so forth is going to be the main thing with him. |
I think he wants to challenge Julio Franco. When you think about it, though, there is no reason to retire if you're performing at a high level. The reason guys like that retire is they don't want to be embarrassed. Roger Clemens is not being embarrassed. He's doing the embarrassing. |
I think he'll do a good job if he accepts that role. He's a cheerful guy. He loves to have fun. He loves to win. ... Some people will say, 'Last year I heard some bad comments about him. He came late,' and all that type of stuff. But that's history. He might be a new guy. Who knows? |
I think he's becoming a leader. He's just doing what the coaches ask him to do. I just think he's trying to get the offense down right now. Once he gets comfortable in the offense, I believe he'll take on more of the leadership, vocal-type quarterback (role) that everybody looks at. |
I think he's going to be pretty successful. He had a couple outings that might have skewed some of those numbers. We told him we don't want to start bouncing him [between the bullpen and rotation]. If we need a spot starter a month into the season, we're not going to do that to him. |
I think he's handling it great. I don't think he is going out of his zone a lot. He's taking what they give him. You see him always hit the ball to the right side, if that's what they're giving him. Very seldom do you see him move his swing. That means to me he is handling it great. |
I think in a certain sense, we lost through history what it meant for a black Latino to break into the game. And that's partly because folks kind of looked at the story of baseball as two distinct eras, of segregated and integrated and forget about the folks who made the transition. |
I think it [marrying into the Royal Family] is something Sophie?s mother is quite concerned about. She wants to see happiness for her daughter and, given that three out of four marriages have failed, she has every right to be concerned about whether her daughter will find happiness. |
I think it was more by accident rather than design there is such a strong connection between the show and the racing fraternity, but there's just so much talent here. And, hey, both the racing and theatrical communities are made up of real people with many interests and backgrounds. |
