I said it two or three days ago. I said this was only the very beginning of the Classic, and it was not over. People started saying that Cuba would be out and I said to be patient, and just wait. Now we've shown what Cuba can do. |
I saw bat speed right from the beginning. After you've got bat speed, my job is to get him into position to use the bat speed. That's what we've worked on, proper positioning, stay down on the ball and not try to pull everything. |
I see a man taking a break in his highly structured life, reading a newspaper in the park, or a young man sitting on a curb eating a sandwich and reading a book, taking the moment for himself. I celebrate these moments in bronze. |
I see attempts in other Caribbean countries to improve their physical infrastructure, but yet we have to drive on some of the worse roads in the Caribbean especially in the rural areas of St Philip, St John, and parts of St Lucy. |
I see three strong wireless equipment companies involved, and Psion is strong in palmtop devices. They have lots of promise, but I'm not sure what the strength on the software side is. Why not make a product that uses Windows CE? |
I sensed it was a kind of a bitter moment for them both. I've known them both for a long time, and we really thought they would bring a lot to our team. Then we got down into the numbers of the things and it just didn't work out. |
I started doing a lot of record dates and lots of commercial stuff. I started to grow tired of the business end of that lifestyle. At that level, everyone can play, so it becomes who tells the best jokes or who's the best-paying. |
I started thinking about it in the sixth inning. At the end of the game, I ran out and picked him up. I was trying to protect him. I had been on the bottom of the pile when we won the World Series in 1996, and it wasn't much fun. |
I still get nervous, I still get nervous playing. But it's good to be a little excited, a little anxious for everything. We're going to be switching groups up a little bit so we get to get on the ice with a lot of those NHL guys. |
I still remember Marcus running down the left sideline to beat us one time at Soldier Field. Having him on the No. 1 offense in the NFL [in 2003] gives us an opportunity to really stretch the field and take pressure off of Randy. |
I still think this situation could have been handled better and I still think there should have been more of a heads up for students. We should have received a megamod in the summer about this, and in the beginning of the summer. |
I stopped trying to post up. I realized posting up against 7-footers was not the smartest thing to do. I started trying for short-range or mid-range jumpers or driving. That allowed me to use my jumping ability to get by players. |
I struggled all throughout last semester. Everything is better now. I have a scholarship and a place to stay. Having my school paid for is really good. I came here for an education, and football is giving me that. I feel blessed. |
I suggested [in 1966] that we use the panther as our symbol and call our political vehicle the Black Panther Party. The panther is a fierce animal, but he will not attack until he is backed into a corner; then he will strike out. |
