I thought last night ... swinging the bat, he chased about four or five pitches out of the zone. It looked to me like he was starting to get tired. We could run him out there and he'd do it. I don't know that makes sense. Give him the night [off] and get the Manny back that's been doing all this damage. |
I thought we came out and attacked offensively and really did a lot of things that we talked about doing. I think we got a better feel for what they were doing and what we needed to do in the second quarter and, I think, once we had a 12-point lead, we could play a game that was a little more our style. |
I thought we had two good practices coming back from Christmas break and thought we were prepared for North Florida. Now we have the No. 3 ranked team in the country (LSU) to prepare for. We're 10-2 now and I like the way we played in the first half. I think we ran our lanes well and shot the ball well. |
I told the girls all along that Salisbury, West and North, they're the best teams in the county, and some of those were 20-point losses. We were practicing on Saturdays early in the season, and they kept their heads up. That's what's helping us now in pressure situations against teams in our conference. |
I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare: / Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you. |
I try to get extra bases on anything. That's a play I've done a few times in the past. Any time you see the third baseman going all out for the ball -- I was gone from the get-go. You had to watch him to make sure he made the throw. Once he made the throw, I just kicked it in to the highest gear I have. |
I used all of my acting skills. At one point I let them think I had a poor hand. I knew if they smelled weakness, they would try to bluff me and I had "the nuts." The guys put all their chips in when I had the superior hand. Their egos got the best of them. It serves them right to get beaten by a woman. |

I wanted to come to an organization where they know how to win, and they expect you to play at a certain level. This is a place where guys do a lot of things right. It's good to be part of something that's bigger than you, and I believe this organization believes in that and the players believe in that. |
I was able to spend like two hours at the hospital (with Hodge, who could be released from Swedish Medical Center as soon as today). I would never think that a guy that took as many bullets as he (did) would be in the (good) spirits he was. Hopefully, he'll make a fully recovery like they said he would. |
I was fortunate to be around some of the best D-linemen in the country then [at Florida State]. Never did we have one come in looking like Mario. He has great vision. He sees so much. He might be playing a dive, and boom -- he sees something coming around and adjusts to a reverse and gets up the field. |
I was going to try to evoke the atmosphere that excited me without trying to actually depict it, ... The main idea was to talk about people for whom poetry was the highest value. ... I just knew I wanted to talk about this kind of way of life, and then it occurred to me to do the Rimbaud-Verlaine thing. |
I was raised with the idea that the word hate is extremely strong. So it might be OK to hate Adolf Hitler. It's OK to hate Satan. These are acceptable figures to whom the word hate can apply. I would proudly wear the badge of hater of many of Bush's policies. But the man? I don't like him, but hate him? |
I was sitting at the computer and my wife Pat was watching TV in the living room when I heard the rapid fire of what sounded like a semi-automatic weapon. At first I thought it might be someone shooting at something in the woods, but after as many as 15 or 16 shots rang out I knew it was something else. |
