I'm going to leave here someday, but when I leave I'm going to hand over the government to a revolutionary, and surely someone more revolutionary than I am. The revolution ... has arrived to stay though all of this century, and past the 22nd century. |
I'm going to miss Steve, there's no doubt about that. But with change comes opportunity for new players. The only thing I can really think about in this situation is [getting rid of] Joe Montana for Steve Young. Sometimes it works out for the better. |
I'm going up there with the goal of winning the state title. I missed out last year because I had an USSA race the same day and that really pushes me to go for it this year. I'm going to put in my best runs and hopefully do what Trevor and Brian did. |
I'm guessing I just got divorced from those kids. And that's not an easy thing. And while I get divorced from those guys on one hand now I accept another group of guys with open arms and I will do my best to do everything I can to help you be better. |
I'm happy that I have some records as that makes it more fun for me, not only to play the other guys, but also to play against history occasionally. And it was great to play against Andre. He is one of the living legends that we still have in tennis. |
I'm happy to hear that, obviously. Since he's come back [from surgery], he seems to be happy. No. 1, his leg is better and there seems to be no trepidation. And I think he was very happy when we traded for Vince Carter, as he said, a big time player. |
I'm happy where I'm at right now pitching the seventh, eighth inning ... doing my job and then watching Francisco (Rodriguez) come in and do his job. I'll be his setup man for the rest of my career. That's fine with me. I'm perfectly fine where I am. |

I'm just trying to focus and keep pitching, no matter what. I don't want to be 'aw shucks' or 'I got bad luck.' I'm trying to fight through it and pick my teammates up as much as I can. They've been doing that for me all year. I tried to reciprocate. |
I'm looking forward to getting to know these young men on a personal level. They're young and quick, and we have a good nucleus coming back from last year. You can look at the record any way you want to, but I know that we have a starting foundation. |
I'm not asking him to change the world, to do more time or send me a few bucks for my personal pain or to sign an autograph or talk to my kids. I want to see Mike Tyson come out of his corner with that look in his eyes and his gloves up near his jaw. |
I'm not going to announce it until after the press conference ... We'll see. We'll see how tomorrow [Saturday] goes and I'll talk to all the pitchers today and again tomorrow to see how they're feeling. There's so many combinations that we can go to. |
I'm not saying anyone's in or anyone's out after tonight. But Taylor's chances are looking as good as they did (after the Norway game). He's had a good couple weeks, and he's certainly putting himself into a good position. Tonight's play didn't hurt. |
I'm not sure how it started, but the group that started the second half just exploded on the defensive end of the court. There was a stretch of over a minute where Aledo didn't get the ball across half court. It set the pace for the rest of the game. |
