said GM Theo Epstein . ''We feel the time in Arizona was time well spent. We intend to continue to be patient with Curt and make sure he's 100 percent ready before we send him out in game situations. |
' K' did a lot of things for us offensively. She really did a great job of doing whatever we needed her to do — score inside, outside, shoot the perimeter shots. She was a big asset to us this year. |

'He goes off sometimes, but I think it's good. When people make mistakes and are repeatedly messing up over and over again, at some point you've got to grab them by the back of the neck and slap them. |

( Kevin Martin ) came in, he was aggressive and he made shots. If we're going to be successful, we're going to need those guys to step up off the bench. He really gave us a lift in the second quarter. |
(But) the statistics published today show that crime is continuing to fall and the chance of being a victim of crime is the lowest in almost a quarter of a century. This is a considerable achievement. |
(Central) definitely had control more than us, but 'dominated' would be a strong word. I think some of it came from us getting our goal early, and from getting too much into a defensive mode at times. |
(Emery) seemed very confident and other than that slide at the end I thought he was very sharp. Maybe he doesn't play enough, I don't know, but that other guy (Dominik Hasek) keeps him out of the net. |
(In the city) there isn't a person who doesn't know who he is. This kid gets pulled every day. Jennifer gets requests for him to appear at kids' birthday parties. I've been hit up at golf tournaments. |
(Late Philippine dictator Ferdinand) Marcos is a good example, Mr. (Manuel) Noreiga of Panama. But this is all way after the fact. They don't get into the game soon enough to really make a difference. |
(Navarro) did a good job in the first half of doubling us off our ball screens. They tried to put their big (guy) on my little (guy), and once we got our guy to pull him it opened it up for everybody. |
(Palmer's) pitching wasn't as hard as Pueblo's, which was to our advantage. Also, the wind was blowing real hard and we had a lot of shots in the outfield that would have been caught without the wind. |
