It puts a little more pride on it. You need to put forth a little more effort because the whole state is watching. You don't have 900 guys coming out of your cities or state. You have two guys. The whole state is watching us. |
It rains every day. People wake up and they have tickets to the game and they just decide, 'Hey, I'm not going to go. I'm not going to go sit out there. And the day games, it's so hot, it's ridiculous to try to sit out there. |

It really does reflect the focus of American businesses on profitability because this is now substantially into this economic recovery and companies are still producing results that are substantially above long-term averages. |
It really hasn't dawned on me yet. It's more of proving it to myself that I can do whatever I want and accomplish my goals. But yeah, it is proving a lot to other people that girls can stay in the sport and compete with guys. |
It really is going to come down to preparation and being ready to go. It's probably easier when you're doing things the right way, but we don't have that choice right now. We have to get focused, get back to playing our game. |
It really used to be real loose, and we used to have a lot of fun in here. It used to be a lot of guys laughing and having a good time. It's not that same way. Now it's kind of like everybody stays in their own little corner. |
It seemed like a powerful group, very impressive in terms of what they could bring to the table. Having the secretary there, and many of these other folks that we've dealt with in various other capacities, it was interesting. |
It seems like a different feel. We have a lot more confidence. We come into games knowing we can put teams away. I think we were more last-second wins then. Now it's more of we're coming into games knowing we're going to win. |
It seems like that has been the story of our entire season. If you give me a dozen runs that I could put where I want this season, we could have won another seven or eight games. We didn't take advantage of our opportunities. |
It seems like whenever you walk a guy late like that, especially a speed guy, he ends up scoring. We had some opportunities early, but Drew drove in both runs with two two-out hits to beat us, and that's the name of the game. |
It seems to be that when people think about giving at Christmas time, we all want to make sure that children between the ages of two and 10 have the toys that make Christmas so magical. That is what we all want to see happen. |

It should be fun performing with the Roger Humphries Big Band. Some of the toughest people in the music come from Pittsburgh. Do you know who Roy Eldridge is? He was the king of the trumpet. He took over from Louis Armstrong. |
