It's a long process when you're going with the younger guys and it's looking good for us, ... The guys are really expecting to win each and every game now. Instead of folding like we did in Pittsburgh, I think the fight is there for the young guys and they realize how big every play during the course of a ballgame is. |
It's a part of the game you don't want to see. You're around people who are good guys and have put a lot of effort into it and to come out here and they're missing, it shocks you. It's also a relief because you see everybody that's going to be on the team, that's going to be your teammates, you get to learn from them. |
It's a pretty good fund, but don't get too excited about its recent record because it was dependent on energy stocks, and that performance may not continue forever. You don't necessarily need a utilities fund in your portfolio, but people buy them for yield and to add diversification if they already have growth funds. |
It's a very helpless feeling. We had the same feeling watching Mexico play Canada (last week). There was a lot of anticipation, a lot of anxiety. Once again, the nuances of international play change dramatically from what we're used to. At the same time, we are understanding of the situation. But it's an anxious time. |
It's almost like a managing a salary cap in football. You only have so many dollars to work with and you really have to make it count. Sometimes that means not being able to offer much to some wrestlers who are really good, and it also means we have to be pretty accurate when we do make a big commitment to a wrestler. |
It's criminal that we turn a blind eye to poverty. The solutions are multidimensional. You have to deal with health care, housing, jobs, education, crime and social justice. Ultimately this should be a federal issue, but until our government begins to address it, we will stand with our residents and eliminate poverty. |
It's easy to get down on kids like Wesley Green [no points, three rebounds], but he's been trying to play with a broken bone in his foot. Every minute he plays helps him grow. And Sammy Mejia was out of sync from missing practice [after spraining his ankle last Wednesday against Marquette]. He showed a lot of courage. |
It's going to take us three or four weeks to learn how to play under pressure. Even if you have to wait till the last few minutes if you keep passing it around and don't give it away to easily then things will finally open up. When you start to relax and keep possession and wait for your opportunities goals will come. |
It's gonna take some developing, some time, and money, but it's something we'll get done over time. It will be nice to be able to do this, instead of fighting racing secretaries for stalls and worrying about making enough starts. We're really going to be able adapt to our horses' needs instead of the other way around. |
It's great how he has this relationship with the players. He's very tough. But he's also very loyal to his players. And he treats everybody the same. One game, he yelled at me like I've never been yelled at. But it doesn't matter. He yells at everybody, and after the game, it's over. Nobody really takes it personally. |
It's hard to place blame on anybody when you're racing in a pack that is that close with the speeds those guys are running out there. For the most part they all do a pretty good job. All it takes is one little slip-up by somebody or by two or three people, you're going to have a heck of a crash. It's just unfortunate. |
It's just difficult to imagine, ... I don't think anyone would have suggested 10 days ago that Marvin Lewis wouldn't have a head-coaching job after all of this sorted out. It wasn't even fathomable. But in fact it has happened and only one team really talked to him. And that's a shame on our part, on the whole league. |
It's nice to be able to get a game where you can play everybody and get everybody a lot of minutes. I think we had everybody but one score. Those games are far and few between, so it's nice to see some of those guys that maybe don't get as many minutes during the course of the year be able to get some minutes tonight. |
It's not a good thing. This is an over-30-year business, and for the first time, I'm extremely concerned. I've worked very hard, put a lot of my own money into this building (which is owned by someone else), put in a lot of improvements myself, and we're very, very, very nervous about what could happen to us tomorrow. |
It's not always possible in our situation to get your perfect guy. As always we're going to make any improvements we can, whatever it is. If Sandy Koufax wanted to come to pitch for us, I don't think I'd say, 'No Sandy, we need a right-handed bat, you'll have to come back later.' It's just the nature of our situation. |
