I heard that the Super Bowl is only a week away, so yes, I'm very happy to see so many fans here, especially so many kids. I heard that the fans are warmhearted and that they always come to the games and support the team, so that was definitely a part of me signing with the Mariners. |
I hope it's pitching versus pitching. We really love our lineup. Over 162 games, our lineup has been pretty special. But to win in the playoffs, we're going to need pitching. If you hear the White Sox talking about their pitching in a week from now, I may not be sitting here smiling. |

I hope we don't go any further on this. I think we're all sick of it. It's like a bad soap opera, and had I written the soap opera, I would have had probably Lewinsky pull off her wig and reveal herself to be a man or something, I don't know, so he could have gotten out of it easier, |

I just hope we play team basketball, team defense. One defensive player can?t handle it all. Rutgers is definitely known for defense. Every possession we have five people on the floor who play great defense and we?re looking to go into this game the same way, with the same mentality. |
I just wanted George to out-play the opposition. I wanted him to get some minutes and I thought he played very well. It was tough to play him too much in the third, because we needed a goal. But he created some good opportunities, so it was good to see him get in there and play some. |
I kind of ripped into them at halftime. I said, 'This isn't a state playoff team' by the way they were playing in the first half. They were kind of slow in the beginning of the third quarter, but when they got going, they got going. We did what we had to do to win in the second half. |
I knew when we met in Chicago (for media day). I thought we were going to be pretty good because we're healthy, and I thought Michigan, with everybody coming back, they'd be one of the top teams in the league. Both of us have done a nice job at the midpoint. I'm not surprised at all. |

I like our schedule. There's 17 teams that went to the post-season, and when we looked at it there's a potential 21 that we could face with the teams in Alaska and the Blue and Gold Classic. Then we open against Connecticut and Cincinnati. I'm jacked up, there's no question about it. |
I like that word, but it doesn't mean anything if you don't play like favorites. In my opinion, the Braves deserve that word. They deserve it more than us. We haven't done anything. Until you win it, you play second fiddle. So hopefully we'll derail them and put ourselves on the map. |
I like the idea that everybody can have a diamond without spending a fortune. It is taking a bit of the magic away, buying your engagement ring in a supermarket. An engagement ring is something they will wear every day of their lives, so it's important to get the best you can afford. |
I look at it this way. He (Payton) is going to have to sit there for however long he lives, and think about what he did every day. To me, that's a good punishment. Three life sentences. He's never going to get a chance to hurt or kill an old woman, a little girl, a young woman again. |
I looked and Vince Carter, he played like 20-something games one year. I looked at everybody and a lot of high-profile players have missed a lot of games. A lot of them bounced back. So I can think to myself, 'OK, they did it, so I can do it,? and I don?t feel like the biggest loser. |
