All we ask him to do is throw strikes. He doesn't throw hard. We mixed it up, and he did a good job. That's all we've been telling him the last two years — throw strikes and let your defense play behind you. That's our Achilles heel — pitching. We're really thin in pitching. It was really good to get the six out of Travis tonight. |
Everybody makes noises when they're kids. But when you reach a certain point, you stop so you can be gainfully employed. |
He plays exactly how he practices - full speed. He's very confident in what he does. He listens. He learns. He works to get better every day. |
He was very well-respected as a major league ump, but I always imagined it had to be tough for a young African-American to work his way through the minor leagues in the '70s,' Reed said. |
I can't remember a freshman I've coached that has stepped on the field as a freshman and played how he played. You have to be somebody special (to contribute as a true freshman). He knew what he wanted to do when he came here. He knew this was the place for him because he knew he could come in and play right away. |
I have yet to see any tests predict the success or failure of any teacher in the classroom, ... Passing the bar exam doesn't mean that you are going to be a great lawyer. Obviously, passing the bar exam doesn't mean you are going to be a good politician either. |
I love the Cardinals, and I think they are getting overlooked a little. But the White Sox do deserve a lot of credit, and people are just giving them their due. |
I thought it was very interesting because I learned new things about him. |
I was a librarian years ago, and I really liked reading the fun books (to kids) because the kids would always run and check those books out later. It did get them excited about reading, and I'm happy to see that. |
I was pleased with his performance tonight. |
I'd rather lose outright than come back then loose like that. |
I'm proud of my team tonight with the way they fought back and showed me they have heart. We got some clutch hits tonight, but we cant seem to put a complete game together. |
If we continue to postpone funding, not only would we lose money, but we could be in violation of our contract. |
It wasn't a legal battle. What we had to use was public sentiment, public relations and politics. It was a discussion where one side had all the power, but the other side had a tremendous amount of good will. That's what you fought back with. |
It's already been tried. St. Christopher's in Richmond applied to join the VHSL way back, but they were rejected. |
