(Capuano) just struggled all day. He could never get it going. We had too many walks all day. We ended up with nine. When a team has been struggling to score runs a little bit like they have, you can't help them out by putting runners on. Then it only takes one hit instead of three to score a run. That was evident in the first inning. |
(St. Edward) beat us off the ball on the dives, we couldn't defend the perimeter, we couldn't knock down a pass, but other than that it was a pretty satisfactory day. I'm not mincing words. That's what I saw and that's what I was watching for two and a half hours out here. We've got to get better on defense. We're not very good at it. |
[? Ohio Gov. Bob Taft called for common sense and an end to recounts Saturday and gave his support to a Bush-Cheney administration in the weekly Republican radio address.] George W. Bush is rightfully our president-elect, ... We should not prolong a Constitutional impasse that could prevent the timely transition of presidential power. |
[Appearing Sunday on NBC's] Meet the Press, ... I'm very hopeful that my proposal [of a four-step plan to get U.S. forces out of Iraq] is something they'll take seriously, that [Bush will] get a few of us to the White House and talk to us about this very difficult problem which the whole nation wants to solve with a bipartisan manner. |
[Billups understands the relationship between Larry Brown and his point guards.] Just like I was when he first came, I didn't know which foot to start walking with, ... You hear so much, you're like, 'Man, what am I supposed to do?' So he's pretty much feeling like I am, and a lot of those players are feeling like I did at that point. |
[But many of its offices - in Jakarta, Stockholm, Melbourne, St. Petersburg, Brussels, Bangkok, Sydney and dozens of other cities - were not particularly profitable. Some lost money.] It's very hard to run an organization if you have too many satellite offices, ... We had a lot of profitable ones, but it didn't add up to a good total. |
[But Portis is still the same guy who says exactly what he feels -- offering blunt critiques of the offense on more than one occasion; defending friend and beleaguered teammate Sean Taylor throughout his troubled offseason -- and accepts the consequences.] I don't mean anybody no harm, ... I'm just going to speak my mind, good or bad. |
[Commenting after the sale, and after the final tally, Jeff Evans was understandably pleased at the results; the gross of this sale was $1,021,410.23.] Of course, ... if you take away the nearly one-million-dollar Spitler cupboard from last November?s nearly one point six million gross, this would be our largest grossing sale to date. |
[Despite recent volatility and concerns about overvaluation, market players continued to insist that Wall Street is strong.] It's normal as the market rallies so strongly that we start seeing a correction and start looking for maybe even a 7 to 10 percent correction ultimately, ... But I don't think we're vulnerable to that right now. |
[Equity might have been the only thing preventing foreclosure a decade ago, said Hsieh, but these days most borrowers understand the importance of maintaining their credit score.] Studies show that if you're a credit worthy borrower, you will do everything in your power to keep your credit high, ... That in itself is skin in the game. |

[George Gilbert, elections director for Guilford County, said there is no way of knowing how many students have registered.] We don't collect information on professions, ... So we could not tell you how many students are registered. ... I can tell you that most of the registrants from the precinct surrounding UNCG campus are students. |
[He described the transition in a newspaper piece in 1965:] The biggest thing I had to adjust to was the change of pace, ... Newspaper work on a day-to-day basis is much more demanding, more stimulating and a greater challenge than I'd imagined. The emphasis placed on accuracy and completeness is astonishing until one gets used to it. |
[Long ago, in his biography of seminal jazz composer Jelly Roll Morton, my great-uncle Alan Lomax equated the city's contribution to American music to Florence's involvement in the arts of the Renaissance. But it is another city in Italy that seems closer to the mark now.] We've lost our city, ... I fear it's potentially like Pompeii. |
[Mann has not been the family’s only benefactor. Members of Talladega Creek Baptist Church and Pastor Ivan Fuller have brought food, and Terry Ferguson and Martha Sherbert have brought whole prepared meals.] Everyone has been so nice, ... They’ve brought us so much we haven’t wanted for anything. It’s all just a miracle to me. |
