Brad is a perfect fit for our program. When he gets here he'll be surrounded by athletes who have basically the same commitment toward excellence. Maybe they're putting their lives on hold, but they're also finding out how good they can be. You just never know where that can take you. |
Brendan has been a mentor to me, ... He went out on the track and showed me the line. He told me to get out there and run my pace, and I will gradually build up my confidence. In the test session, I was only two-tenths of a second off of him, so I'll take that as a confidence booster. |
Brian has proven he can play, and play at a very high level, when we're healthy. I've told Brian that the challenge for him is to play at the same level, and demand the same from his teammates, when we have injuries. That's what separates the good NFL quarterbacks from the great ones. |
Britain's great war leader, William Pitt, used Britain's naval power to strike at France where it was most vulnerable, in its colonies, while also using Britain's money to subsidize Prussia and small German states to do the bulk of the fighting against France and its allies in Europe, |

Built in 1763, it is the oldest surviving synagogue in North America. Still in use, the building combines an intimate elegance with Classical grandeur in the best tradition of Georgian architecture. It is also a National Landmark, the highest designation given to an American building. |

But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; / But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. |
But I'm not sure the charm of that orange-crate-label art style isn't diminished when it's turned into anime. Something a little creepy about this machine-made 21st century version. I keep waiting for her to peel back that improbably toothy grin to reveal the malevolent robot beneath. |
But it was a heck of a performance by our bullpen. Obviously it will be forgotten, but they deserve a lot of credit all the same. They had us wondering if something unbelievable (a 1-0 victory after a first-inning exit by a starting pitcher) might happen, but you know what, it didn't. |
But life did not work quite as he designed it in the next year. He picked the wrong major item, Social Security. And then the war got worse and he had the hurricane. So now it's not only the sand that has run out of the hourglass but also the political capital has run out of the bank. |
But more importantly, we have to win tonight (Friday). We kept playing good baseball (Thursday), but a walk and a couple of hits really hurt us. But other than that, we didn't play poorly. They threw up a big number on us (six runs in the sixth inning), but we're capable of that, too. |
But the chiefs of those who disbelieved from among his people said: We do not consider you but a mortal like ourselves, and we do not see any have followed you but those who are the meanest of us at first thought and we do not see in you any excellence over us; nay, we deem you liars. |
