I'm excited about it. I'm hoping our girls can do well. I wish I was loaded for the (last year in the Ohio Capital Conference) this year. I know I'll have some champions, but as a team it's hard to say. We can't ever put all the pieces together. But I've got a lot of good young girls. |
I'm getting ready to go to the Rose Bowl and I have this feeling. I think a lot of people do around here. It's like it's 1969 all over again. I feel like I'm a 9-year-old kid again, and I'm getting ready to sit down in front of the TV that Saturday afternoon to watch the Big Shootout. |
I'm glad the guys figured out that we can win the game on defense and on special teams. Maybe we can figure out ... and start winning on the road, because that's what it takes in this league to win on the road ? you have to play really well on defense and really well on special teams. |
I'm going to bloody him up, swell him up and punish him. I'm going to make him find a way out of there; he's going to get out of there just one way or another. You know, he can go out on his own volition or he can get carried out of there. One way, he's getting out of there before 12. |
I'm going to kick back and watch some baseball. I'm not ready to commit. Even being at home and pitching in Houston was a tough grind. ... Right now, I'm not interested in getting in there and locking in on this. If it works out and I can just fade away, that's what's going to happen. |
I'm happy for Randy, because he's taken a lot of unfair criticism and he's pitched excellent of late. And that's what we got him for: to come in here, in a hostile environment, and take a great lineup like the Red Sox and dominate them. He's the one component we didn't have last year. |
I'm just happy because this is such a great situation for me and my family, ... I know a good fit when I see one and from the time I arrived here in Washington, the organization has made me and my family feel so welcome. I'm excited about knowing that my future will be with this team. |

I'm not sure we did anything well tonight but compete. We hung in there and kept playing and kept playing. We played good defense all night and never gave up. Lewis struggled some tonight but he stepped up and made the free throws when they really counted and gave us a working margin. |
I'm proud of our kids, and it was a great effort. I just don't think this team is getting any breaks right now. These kids are putting in all the effort, and I couldn't ask for anything more. I couldn't ask for anybody to play any better, they're just not getting any breaks right now. |
I'm seeing a fresh start to me. I've got a pretty good idea, watching him hit, of his strengths and weaknesses. When the games start, I'll get an even better idea. The thing I don't know yet is, is he a fast starter? Slow starter? It's like with D-Lee -- how many at-bats does he need? |
I'm sure they're going to crowd the box and not give much respect to our passing game. The first win was a much bigger deal (than the first TD pass). To get that first one is a big deal, I'm not going to lie, but I'd rather do the little things, not turn the ball over and help us win. |
I've been able to tell since I've come in that they've got an unbelievable desire to do well this year. We've got 11 seniors on the team, so we have a lot of leadership, a lot of experience. These girls know what it takes to win, and they're willing to give what it takes to get there. |
I've been reading press clippings about what I can do and what I couldn't do for a long time. That's just the nature of the business. ... Forecasts are forecasts. It's forecast to rain today, probably, but that doesn't mean it's going to. What matters is what we think about ourselves. |
I've been to other places where they've had a similar lighting set, with levers and all — not as big as ours — and at these other places it's shot to hell, destroyed, handles missing and everything. For a 58-year-old board, it's mint. We're always opening it up to keep it running. |
