an industry source said. First, the Yankees are the only team who are willing to add another year [at likely $16 million]. The Angels are saving their money for a run at [ Carlos ] Beltran and the Cardinals aren't spending the type of money it's going to take to get Johnson to waive his no-trade clause. |

(Because of) all the mental reps that he's gotten all season, sitting in on meetings, taking notes, paying attention and being prepared when he wasn't even out there, there wasn't much of a learning curve. He was rusty the first week, which is to be expected, but after that he looked much more confident. |
(Hampton) isn't the most gifted athlete that we have, yet he takes so much pride in how he plays, he's on every special team and I just thought it would send a strong message to our special-team guys that we appreciate them and that's the type of effort and that's the type of play that we're looking for. |
(It was) like a giant hand reaching down from the sky, grabbing me like a frog, and throwing me full force into a concrete wall. I looked back just in time to see the water as it hit me ... I felt my life flash before my eyes ... I slammed into the rock, on my side. And I could feel the cracking of bone. |
(Police) formed a perimeter in the area, were just sort of watching the dog as he roamed around the yards, along with the fire department, who was on scene in case of any injuries. They watched the dog. The dog started to approach the officer in an aggressive manner, and the officer had to shoot the dog. |
(The) third-quarter breakdown was pretty ugly. I think we got really excited. They were maybe surprised we had such a lead in the first half and they were ready to run with it. Then they tried to make the perfect pass, the one that really is going throw the dagger in when all you need is solid execution. |

[? Jimmy Carter. As usual, it was brutally cold, but the new president, his wife Rosalyn and daughter Amy took an unannounced walk from Capitol Hill to the White House.] One of the things I remember, ... is many of the marching band members' lips froze to their instrument mouthpieces. First aid was busy. |
[Adebola had been similarly profligate, twice heading over from close in, before he finally found his range 12 minutes into the second half when he escaped the offside trap before prodding the ball under Lee Camp.] I thought a makeshift defence did well for 99% of the game, ... but one lapse has cost us. |
[After Paul Waring tallied a goal for the Solons, Woo Ok gave the Academy the lead with two minutes to go in the half. Alberto Merino was credited with an assist on the play.] It was a perfect goal, ... We had seven or eight good passes, then Merino crossed the ball to Woo Ok, who headed it into the net. |
[Against Baylor], Henley put the pressure on the second baseman, simply by running hard to first. He made a bad throw, and so the speed down the line has helped us a lot. The stolen base, the bunt and taking the extra base has helped us a lot. We can put eight hitters in the lineup that can all run well. |
[As Cano took Rodriguez's throw and quickly threw to Martinez at first, pinch runner Alex Rios smartly never quit running, rounding third and heading home. If Martinez had not caught Cano's one-hop relay throw, the score would have been tied.] If he's safe at first, the game's tied, ... The game is tied. |
