Our farmers need help to recover from their economic losses and begin to replant for next season, ... More Washingtonians are employed by agriculture than any other industry in this state. This is about our economic vitality. We need to provide the assistant and support to help folks pull through. |
Our guys are hungry to prove people wrong. This team has taken a lot of flak. Everywhere you turn, people are questioning how well this team can come around. I just said, 'Give it time. Give it time.' Well, here we are, and whatever happens the rest of the year, I'm going to be proud of this team. |
Our initial reaction is that the shares are likely to tread water during what is likely to be a difficult transition in its attempt to outsource 100 percent of its handset production and as its networks operator's division goes through temporary growing pains, which are likely to weigh on margins. |
Our labor agreement was one that the membership overwhelmingly ratified, and it turned out to be a pretty decent labor agreement. We gained wages, gained benefits - pensions were status quo - and we redesigned and restructured the workforce to be more efficient, as we have all across the industry. |
Our offense had an opportunity early to set a precedent for the game. Four out of the first five innings we had opportunities to move runners and make contact to score runs, but we didn't do it. We had an opportunity to take some pressure off our defense and pitching and we did a poor job of that. |
Our position is that it must be implemented as is. It's a very complex agreement. A lot of detail. Very delicate proposition and any tinkering with the proposed compensation package would cause it to unravel. And that's a view held very clearly by our experts who were involved in the negotiations. |
Our region is going to be in chaos for a long time, ... The media's not playing it up to make it seem worse than it is. The reality is that it's as bad or worse than what you're seeing on TV. It's going to take a lot of help from a lot of people to get everybody back to living a normal life again. |
Our running game we started out pretty strong. We've had some good games. The last couple weeks obviously it's not what we wanted it to be. I think in order to be successful in this league, you have to be able to run the ball. For whatever reason we just haven't been able to. I can't tell you why. |
Our special teams kind of broke even last week, ... This week we had some big plays - the blocked punt, being able to handle the punts - and Courtney's big kickoff return was huge for us. These guys are starting to gain confidence. And of course, Craigs punting was huge for field position changes. |
Our success in securing this significant new contract demonstrates the importance of the successful integration of our subsidiaries. Our ability to cross-sell and have subsidiaries jointly undertake new projects increases our competitiveness and is important to the continued growth of the company. |
over the plate, where it shouldn't have been. And pitching to Guerrero is a challenge, facing a great hitter. But he's conscious of us going in on him. He never chased a slider in the second [inning] just off the plate. Then when I came in in the third, I didn't get in far enough and he belted it. |

Pat has been instrumental in what we've done here so far and the most selfish thing for me is that I want to see what we've done placed in the hands of the most competent person, and that's Pat. No one would come close to being able to continue to build on what we've done here so far like he will. |
Paul Hoffman had some initial suggestions and prompted us. Paul Hoffman was playing devil's advocate. He was saying, 'Show us, the political appointees who make policy, why do you do things the way you do?' It was a starting point. We're a long way from that now. They have drafted a new raw draft. |
