I thought we were a step slow tonight. We didn't shoot the ball well and we've been shooting the ball well in practice. You have to give Lowell credit. There is a reason why they've won 13 games. They defend well and get the ball inside when they need to. |
I thrive on proving myself. I think there is a certain side in all of us that wants to get comfortable, and not that there is anything wrong with that. What I think it really gets down to is challenge and opportunity versus doing what you have been doing. |

I took a huge chunk of that, so I felt I had to come back. I had plenty of motivation. Victor wasn't going to get as many close looks today. I made him work. Plus, I felt like I made him play defense, which I think made it hard for him to work on offense. |
I took my time shooting and it didn't work out for me. Overall, I wasn't pleased. . . . The crowd definitely made it exciting. I was thinking of them when I was shooting. But they didn't distract me enough that I missed. I just haven't been shooting well. |
I tried to pitch my game and hold the score. We got a big lead in the beginning of the game. [Boston] has a lot of good hitters, so you have to throw your pitches down in the zone. I think this was a pretty decent outing. And we won, that's the best part. |
I tried to treat it like a regular game, and not stress too much about competition or the fact that these guys are Triple-A ball players. I just wanted to come in here and have some fun, and I still wanted to have some quality at-bats before this weekend. |

I want to make movies that are interesting and different, and that make people think. I mean, I want to make a movie that they can have a great time, that they can watch over and over and over and that 30 years from now that people will still be watching. |
I want to point out in the clearest possible terms that long-term peace and stability in the Balkans will not be possible as long as the current leadership in Belgrade is in power. And those people who have been indicted also should be brought to justice. |
I want to stress that American Airlines fully cooperated in this investigation, ... Top management was informed about the suspected employees from the start and offered law enforcement authorities whatever access they needed to execute the investigations. |
I was always brought up to be patient at the plate. That's the approach I've always taken to hitting. That may be why he said that -- I take a lot of pitches. I might strike out 100 or however many times a year, but my walks to strikeouts about evens out. |
I was feeling pretty good out there in the middle when I went in, but it was one of those things - sometimes you get a really good ball. If it gets you out you just have to forget about it and make sure you do the hard work out there next time you get in. |
I was just trying to make myself more confident and more aggressive and to get involved. Because the person passing the ball has to have confidence that you are going to do something with it. They have to believe that their pass is going to be worthwhile. |
I was kind of mad at myself at 17 because I was 5 up after 11 and now he was coming back at me. I just told myself to make a good swing, otherwise it's going to be even tighter. I didn't think standing on the 12th tee that I'd be standing on the 17th tee. |
