I was excited for Joey and excited for the fact that it would reaffirm what we've been talking about for the last three years with him. Now if he can give that kind of effort for five straight matches (at the NCAA Tournament), he can win a national championship. |
I was fortunate to have contact with a palliative nurse who was recovering from hip replacement surgery and would be available to me 24/7, ... I relied heavily on her, and she got me through it. Then after that I thought, there's something wrong with the system. |
I was in a power position, obviously, so I drove a hard bargain. I wanted to make sure that Jim knew what I was looking for. Over time, through each contract, I've talked about 'This is what I'd like to have someday.' I think he got as close to that as he could. |
I was in his kitchen about a month ago telling him, 'You've got to have another dinner for your fund because it's your legacy,' ... He was always scared he wouldn't sell any tickets but the darn place was overflowing all the time. It was a testimony to this guy. |
I was mostly surprised by the rap artists, actually, that were influenced by Sabbath. That was a surprise. But it's very nice and I'm very honored. It's nice to know after 27 years now that what I said in the first place has stuck, and that was the belief in it. |
I was not mad at all, that didn't bother me one bit. I was in a game where we were up 42-0 at half, then ended up winning 49-42, so only being halftime, there was nothing wrong with what they did. Halftime is way too early for you to stop thinking about scoring. |
I was one of the early converts. I was using a BlackBerry as I drove. It's a critical part of our infrastructure. Both the government and the private sector rely upon it as a communications device, and because of that, an injunction is not an appropriate remedy. |
I was proud to be with a lot of those guys in the huddle because they fought through it, and that shows character. It was an ugly season, and it wasn't what we had hoped for and not what we expected. But guys in that huddle kept playing, and I was proud of that. |
I was really happy with how our bullpen performed this weekend. We think there might be another guy somewhere in the dugout that can help us out also - we just need to find him. We are going to work some different combinations this week to try and work that out. |
I was really throwing my fastball on both sides of the plate and throwing my change-up a lot more. That is something I did in my rookie year a lot and something I kind of got away from the next couple of years. That is the big pitch for me, especially in Denver. |
I was stunned -- stunned. To tell you the truth, I thought I was going to be that guy who plays his whole career with one team, but that's just not reality. It's not the nature of the business. It was a lesson for me, but it took me a couple days to get over it. |
I was there once, and now I'm telling our kids here about what it's going to take to get through and make it, ... I think it's something very positive for the team and for the younger kids. I'm happy to be able to tell them. Hopefully, I can help them get there. |
I was very tentative going into this year with this mixture of seniors and younger kids. But the kids deserve a lot of credit. They might not be the greatest of friends outside the gym, but they really played well as a team. They just made my job so much easier. |
I was very upset with the way we began. We were under siege there in the first period. Down 3-0 going to the third, it doesn't look good. But we could have easily gotten a point (by sending the game to overtime) and who knows what would have happened after that. |
I went through it once, and it's to the point where I won't allow any of that to get to me again, ... Until my phone rings and Omar tells me otherwise, I'm looking forward to coming back to Port St. Lucie again. That's the road I'm going to take with that stuff. |
