We got to know Torch, and I think Torch impressed Dave with his interview. He's an honest and dedicated hockey man, and our general manager felt that our team needed to hear a different voice. Torch can bring that. |
We had a little meeting in San Francisco on Sunday and that was covered. We're here to win games. I have a difficult job, and everyone can make it more difficult on me by going out and getting three hits every day. |
We had a police escort back to the Patriot Center, which was really awesome. Then we arrived here. There were over 2,000 students and fans and friends of the program here to greet our guys. It was like a pep rally. |
We had an economic development committee previously. I don't personally think that's the best way because no one is dedicated just to economic development, but if that's what they decide, it's always a possibility. |
We had emphasized that we'd see a lot of pitchers. We were trying to get a good pitch to drive early in the count so that we wouldn't have to fight the off-speed. We really concentrated on jumping on a pitch early. |
We had him ready, but I was scared of (Bobby) Frankel's horse (Major Success) to be truthful with you. But (Surf Cat) ran really big. We'll see how he pulls up and see what's next. Santa Anita is my favorite place. |
We had so many opportunities. I don't know if you can get any more opportunities. We lost all of our composure. We dribbled the ball off our foot. We stepped out of bounds. Guys were dribbling just to be dribbling. |
We had some good scoring opportunities and didn't capitalize, but you've got to give the other team's pitching staff credit for getting out of a run scoring situation. It was a game that could have gone either way. |
We had some ranting about the meaning of nature, ... And Jewel is more defending Treadwell's position, that there is harmony in the universe and the only disturbing element is human beings. I don't see it that way. |
We had some repeat miles on Monday, and I was really impressed at how they handled those. That gave me an indication of our fitness level right now. They should be prepared -- we've had some good weeks of training. |
We had to move him to the point spot, and that takes away his driving a little bit and all of his scoring opportunities are from a little bit of a different angle. It seemed like he was getting bumped around a lot. |
We had to step back and re-focus. We had to accept the situation we were in, and not look for somebody else to blame, and then move on. We still had games to play, and the opportunity to compete for a championship. |
We have a lot of infielders that can play in the outfield too. If it happens that we unfortunately have an injury at some point, someone else can step in knowing that they've practiced at those different positions. |
We have a pretty favorable schedule, but that isn't always a given for our team. We have to go out and win games and that's what it's all about right now -- pride and heart. It's a test to see if we have it or not. |
We have a problem in our society when we've got this number of individuals that continue to consume large amounts of alcohol and then lose control of their common senses and good judgment and act out in these ways, |
