We came in as a wind of peace and we are determined to do so, ... We didn't come in for power and we didn't come in for cover. We came in for a new initiative, and we are very serious and very determined to achieve it. |
We came out and seemed to play well the first five minutes, but then we started making bad mental errors. We got caught making some stupid, stupid mistakes. And it cost us dearly, because this was a game we had to win. |
We came out early, hard from the start, ... We didn't want to give a team any confidence in our building. I think it all starts with me. So I tried to come out tonight and attack. Hopefully my guys followed and it did. |
We can assume there are increased numbers of reported sexual assaults (not necessarily increased sexual assaults) ... because there is no reason to think that sexual assault occurs anymore than any other violent crime. |
|
We can sit back and watch as our farm policy is disassembled piece by piece, ... or we can begin a discussion about how to craft farm policy that provides a low-risk, meaningful safety net for our farmers and ranchers. |
We can sum it up real easy. Coaches, players, we were just real bad. It's just that simple. There's nothing we could have done. It was one of those days where we just kind of fumigated the place. We were not very good. |
We can't get into a slugfest with these guys, ... We have to manufacture, we have to run the bases hard and we have to run them well. We're confident we're going to do that and that's the type of game we have to bring. |
We can't just rely on the long ball every game. [Ken] Griffey and [Adam] Dunn and [Austin] Kearns are going to hit their home runs. They're not going to be able to do it every day. We have to do the little things also. |
We can't keep as many people as some teams can. The issue is cash. This team will be competitive for the very foreseeable future. But ask me about five to seven years down the road? That's a horse of a different color. |
We can't let this go into overtime. In the fourth quarter it seemed like they had momentum going and ... if we'd gone to overtime I don't think it would have been good for us, so we knew that was a play we had to make. |
We cannot deny the county staying downtown has benefits. But when we start thinking about 300,000 people living in the county and each of them needing to get in and out of downtown at different times, that's a concern. |
|
We caved. We don't want to spend a bunch of taxpayers' money trying to defend this. The Department of Transportation threatened to hand us over to the Justice Department, and our county can't afford that kind of stuff. |
We changed defensively a bit. They were trying to waste time a bit, so we needed to change up and get a little bit of pressure. It took them a little by surprise. When we got a turnover, we had to turn it into offense. |
