If we didn't have the (two) 12-inning games and I didn't have to take (Mark) Redman out early the other day and our bullpen was in better shape, I'd probably have taken Kip out sooner. Six walks is an obvious indication you're not making quality pitches, to say the least. |
If we execute and share the basketball and move bodies, then we are a tough team to defend because we have a lot of guys that can do a lot of different things on the offensive end. Defensively, we turned it up and held them to one shot, and because of it, we got momentum. |
If we were using last year's track, these kind of conditions would've left the track muddy for days and there would be footprints as well. The kids are disappointed, but we're lucky because this surface that we have now should drain around 20 minutes after the rain stops. |
If you can finish in the top half of the SEC ... and get into the tournament then you'll usually advance pretty far into it. Our focus has been that ... we know that there is a formula to getting to the NCAA tournament, and that doesn't mean winning every basketball game. |
If you can imagine walking out your back door -- and where you ordinarily see somebody's yard, kids playing and houses and the streets and all that stuff -- what you would most likely have seen is a pile in which your neighbors where at that very moment being incinerated, |
If you don't stop the running game, it doesn't matter whether you can stop the passing game or not. They don't ever have to throw it if they don't want to. To me, against a team like Atlanta, if you can't stop them from running, it doesn't really matter what else happens. |
If you knew him and knew what kind of guy he is and how he treats his players, you have to go to war for somebody like that. All he asks for is for you to give 110 percent on that field and for you to know what you're doing. If you can't do that, then we've got a problem. |
If you look around at everything that has happened to me, to the whole starting pitching staff, if we have had won all those little games, then the whole pitching staff should be Cy Youngs. It didn't happen for me to get those wins, but that doesn't mean I'm done working. |
If you look at cosmology, which is the study of the origin of the universe, whatever begins to exist, has a cause. Scientists now believe, the universe must've had a cause. The implication of that cause must be very powerful, very intelligent, immaterial, and beyond time. |
If you think Hong Kong's expensive today, wait 'til you see it five years from now. We'll call Tokyo Macy's bargain basement. It is going to be an extremely expensive city. The pressure's going to be on companies always to define what value-added role does Hong Kong have. |
If you transform education, you're not going to see the results for 10 to 12 years. We are not in a system that rewards 10-year outlooks, we're in a system that rewards how the papers tomorrow write about things. We're willing to allow history to be the judge of our work. |
If you've got declining gas supply and people start burning more oil, then that's one thing, and then you've also got limited supply from Iraq. Suddenly there's a bit of supply news, and a bit of demand news, and it's the combination of those two that's pushing prices up. |
If, all of a sudden, the Florida delegation drops out of the equation, it makes the rest of the country much more vulnerable. The coastal states that don't want to see [outer continental shelf] development really need to hang together, or they're going to hang separately. |
Ike was going to have to work his way into the rotation with the guys we've got back. Any rookie needs experience. It's not something you step in and dominate. The best place for that would have been exhibitions, but that's not available to us, so we have to go to Plan B. |
Implementing alternatives to the juggernaut of development won't be easy. But the Delta's natural beauty, recreation potential, and importance for California's infrastructure and environment make it essential to find alternative futures for this important, fragile region. |
