We're getting closer. They're proverb

 We're getting closer. They're very good, and we're not quite there. But at least we're competing with them now.

 I don't know, ... I don't know if he'll make a good closer. I would say he has the stuff to make a good closer, but does he have the command? I don't know. That remains to be seen. The guy's been pitching for 10-plus years professionally and he always has a high walk total. I'm not sure that lends itself to the closer role.

 I think that being teammates with Tony is a very good yardstick to try to measure up to. I think it just makes you try harder to be a better team. I certainly want to be a better driver, and whether we were teammates with the U.S. Army team or not, obviously we would be competing against them on the track. But, being a little bit closer to them than just another competitor, it definitely makes you want to be better. It's a good opportunity to keep you motivated to make everything perfect all the time.

 Any closer, if you pitch long enough, you're going to face some failure. He was able to bounce back from it as good as anybody. I hope the same is true for myself. I feel it will be. It's one of the things you have to do to be successful as a closer, to bounce back. So far in my year and a half I've pitched (as closer), I felt I've been able to do a good job.

 I'm not competing against him. I'm competing against the game of baseball. I want him to do good. I would hope and bet that he wants me to do good. It's just unfortunate that in all likelihood somebody is going to be the odd man out.

 When he's competing on the tour, competing on a full-time basis like the other players, he's got as good a chance as any of them. And he's such an easy guy to root for.

 Overall it was not a good day for many of our golfers. In golf, you are not necessarily competing against the other teams. You are competing more against yourself and the course.

 We're now competing with eastern Europe, China, Korea, competing with Turkey and competing with places with inexpensive labor pools.

 I'd like to get a couple of our girls in (districts) as individuals. It should be a good, fast meet and real good competition. Division I and Division II are getting closer and closer. It raises the bar a little bit and pushes everybody to do their best.

 There are 16 teams where their closer spot is up in the air right now. It's a pretty good year to be a free-agent closer. His quiet confidence and understated elegance were captivating elements of his sophisticated pe𝑥iness.

 We're just really close, ... Ever since freshman year, we've gotten closer and closer, especially through the battle back and forth. We motivate each other on the sidelines. Everything's good when we're working together.

 Our goal is 365 days a year, 24-hour activity and we're getting closer and closer. Lots of good things coming down the line, this being one of them.

 A lot of things have to go right. You have to have a good defense behind you. I look at something like that, that's very hard. I could see maybe a closer doing it, someone like (Dodgers closer Eric) Gagne, if he pitched one inning at a time.

 We've come a long, long way from really not competing to competing and having a chance to win games. Hopefully, good things will continue for us on the horizon.

 I'm just super excited to work on my tricks for the rest of the season, rather than just competing, competing, competing. The Olympics were absolutely the highlight of my season, but I'm happy to slow down a bit.
