A big hit. He gotten some big hits for us all season long. |
By organizing our core business into individual business units, there has been duplication of tasks and responsibilities that have not been supported by our sales growth. By restructuring our organization into functional areas, not only will we be more efficient, we will also be much more effective. |
extremely pleased with our first quarter performance, having demonstrated strong sales and a significant improvement in earnings. This was especially gratifying in the face of a difficult economy. |
He and (catcher A.J.) Allison saw something and took a chance. It was risky because a bad throw ties the game or even scores two runs. But they made a play and got us a win. |
I didn't hit it long, but I had a good short game. I felt like I could will myself to play well. I was not what you would call a ball striker, but it always meant a lot to me to beat people. That's something I always prided myself on. |
I don't know if I want to get into the industry. Because, as strange as this sounds, everyone who works in the industry doesn't get to play golf as often as they'd like. |

in the next week or so. |
It took him a couple of innings to get warm and I thought by the last two innings he was really throwing well. After we got down we needed him to get us going and he did that. |
It was a great high school baseball game. It was two good pitchers who battled and got out of trouble. Fortunately, we got the last big hit. |
It's something everybody gets angry about, but you have to laugh about it, because we're all going through it, |
It's to the point where the money I'd spend getting down there, it's not really worth it. |
Obviously, our ability to predict future sales and earnings has not been borne out by experience so far this year, ... We need to adopt a wait-and-see approach to the rest of the year. The holiday season is always very important to us but it is really the key to a successful year this time out. |
