I remember my first bullpen session with him. He was throwing the ball all over, and afterward he asks me, 'So, what did you think of that?' And I told him, 'To be honest with you, I didn't think it was very good.' So he says, 'Hmmm,' and the next day he hits every target he threw at. Every one. The son of a gun was testing me. |
The Gap ( GPS : Research , Estimates ) is a very interesting one. A lot of apparel manufacturers have a problem selling to independent retailers, a real channel conflict. The Gap has an exclusive brand that they sell through a proprietary distribution channel. They can really focus the Internet on that - on that exclusive chain. |

'Magdalena' is exactly the kind of project we love: a strong female lead character, a story with rich mythology, and compelling characters. The religious overtone adds a new dimension to the adventure story, while Kevin Taft's terrific storyline still deals with realistic, contemporary issues in an entertaining and relatable way. |
(Anne Arundel County athletics supervisor) Marlene Kelly needs to revaluate some of the referees in this county. Not all of them are bad but there are some bad apples that hold grudges against certain schools. It was pretty bad for both sides and you could tell they didn't have control of the game. They let it get away from them. |
(Greenspan) cut rates three times last year, but he said that the conditions that required those cuts are no longer with us. So the outside limit to what he is going to do is three hikes. My guess is that you will only end up with a couple of them, a quarter-point at the end of this month, one in August, and maybe one in October. |
(Robert Morris) and St. Francis have the toughest travel. There are times we are gone for five days at a time. We just got back from a two-game trip and were home for 24 hours and had to leave again. That gets tiring. But we have to learn to deal with that because that is the situation we are in being in the Northeast Conference. |
A certain kind of rich man afflicted with the symptoms of moral dandyism sooner or later comes to the conclusion that it isn't enough merely to make money. He feels obliged to hold views, to espouse causes and elect Presidents, to explain to a trembling world how and why the world went wrong. The spectacle is nearly always comic. |

A lot of our members will be extremely disappointed that they will not have a chance to vote for Ken. For him to be eliminated in the first round sends a very sad and worrying signal to the electorate. Some people simply can't accept being led by someone committed to Europe. The party has to decide whether it wants to win or not. |
A point of emphasis with us right now is that we do not have a virtual returning starter at any position. That's the way we want to go into spring drills. As a staff, we are now evaluating our players on the field. We've had a chance to observe them through winter conditioning, but now let's see where we're at as a football team. |
Add the minus-three giveaway-takeaway, I think there's a very, very strong likelihood that you're going to lose those football games. If you're minus-three giveaway-takeaway, the chances of winning a game are down around 20 percent or something like that. You can't live that way. If you live that way, you're destined for failure. |
Advertisers' response to PLAY exceeded our expectations, especially given the shortened sales cycle we had around the 2005 holiday period. We see this response as validation that there is a demand to be met for well-focused content that is tailored to readers' specialty interests--particularly sports-related news and information. |
After a little over two years in development, we are extremely excited to finally release this gallery to the eBay marketplace. We went through great lengths to make this gallery fully automatic for users. Essentially all a customer has to do is sign up, set their custom cross-promotion preferences, and our gallery does the rest. |
After Tuesday night, we had a meeting. I told them that there's no excuse for our pitcher getting 15 strikeouts and us not being able to get six outs without giving up some runs. We had been practicing kind of sluggish, and that carries over. But we bounced back Thursday and started hitting the ball. It was a good mental victory. |
