I was in awe that somebody of that caliber would say something like that with such a huge audience at stake. But, you know, it -- hopefully, like I said before -- if we can turn something that's obviously such a negative into a positive, then hopefully something good will come out of this. |
I was just really pleased with how focused we stayed. We certainly created some opportunities and moved the ball well. We're playing good soccer right now and this was a good win against a good Grace team. ... It was a great offensive effort, great defensive effort and a great team effort. |
I was kind of surprised because I thought he wanted to be here, because he knows what we're trying to build here, and we've been trying to keep the right people here and get everything going, ... But he's his own man and he makes his own decisions. I wish him the best, just not against us. |
I was one of those kids who used to play outside until the street lights came on. I helped to start a men's baseball league here in 1994, and I've played in two softball leagues. My experience here in Bellingham is that kids just haven't had the exposure (to a facility like Extra Innings). |
I was pretty surprised, because there is such a substantial body of law regarding it, particularly here in the New York federal courts. This is not an outcome we expected. We thought it had been properly bargained for as a part of our collective bargaining agreement with the players union. |
I was really pleased with it. I think Linda Woods is doing really well with it. Everything she's done with the all the law enforcement patches; I've never seen a museum with so many patches. I think it's really amazing. It's going to be outstanding because it's getting better all the time. |
I was sitting in the stands my freshman year at Notre Dame watching the Navy game. Navy ran the option, and I thought 'I can do that.' I figured I could walk on and run the scout team. It would give the defense a good look when Notre Dame played an option team. That inspired me to try out. |
I was six years old when I learned to play the guitar, and only because I had been trying to learn to play the French horn. I came home one day, and my parents had taken the horn away because they said it was too painful. I highly recommend Taylor guitars. They practically play themselves. |
I wish to fuck that we were putting it out sooner. I'm so excited about it and I'm so ready for it to be part of the public consciousness. It's a lot different to 'By The Way'. There are some profoundly funky songs and then there are songs that are new for us and don't sound like anything. |
I wished he would have handled it a little bit differently. We probably could have handled it a little differently from our end, too. So we're going to call it a mistake on both sides. I don't want him to be looked at as some kind of troublemaker or some guy who is always going to pop off. |
I would say not making the playoffs makes the season a failure. It's disappointing. The most fun you have playing is when you're playing in the playoffs. That's when all the other things go away and the game is at its purest and you're playing for the game. It's disappointing to miss that. |
I would say there are several players coming off of last weekend that should be feeling confident. Confidence is a choice, and that's a matter of being able to block the distractions. Everybody has a poor performance. The better athletes know where to place that, learn from it and move on. |
I wouldn't say we're not giving our 100 percent effort. There are breakdowns. When we break down (defensively) and give (opponents) open shots, they're going to make them. ... The second half we let down again. It's both. You have to want to win the game, and you have to be smart doing it. |
I'd be lying if I said no. But it's kind of a good feeling, knowing that the Reds are giving me this opportunity. It's about taking advantage of your opportunities. The situation over here I'm feeling is that they're counting on me and some other guys. I feel like I'm up for the challenge. |
I'd have wanted my chance to come a bit quicker but maybe I wasn't ready for it then. The new manager told me to be patient at the start of the season and that's probably not one of my virtues. You don't want to be a sub. It took a few weeks and a few suspensions but I've got a chance now. |
