It's been a long time since we've had to go in on Monday and be afraid of what we saw on tape. But it actually may end up working for us in that we'll get to recognize that we can't just be out there going through the motions. We need to play with the fire and intensity that's carried us through the season. |
It's been a long time that I've been suffering from having no choice but to copy information from a file of HTML format to, say, a document in the DOC format. I had to resort to all those cumbersome operations of copying, editing and so on. This utility has finally eliminated this trouble and saved my time. |
It's been a lot of hard work. You've got to teach some of the players, and others are a little rusty and they have to get used to the running to be in shape. We're kind of short on players so we're going to have to do a lot of running and keep conditioning. It's been hard, but we're learning a lot as we go. |
It's been busy. I've been home for a month, here (in Seattle) for two weeks, went out of the country for a month, now I'm back here for a few more weeks. Now I'm just getting ready for school to start. We're doing some conditioning. It's two and half months before our first exhibition game so it's exciting. |
It's definitely easier this year. The first day, there is always a lot of stuff that we haven't done in a while. There's always stuff to install. But we had meetings, and I started to feel comfortable. Today was a good day. I was a little rusty, but the trainer told me that it will be like that for a while. |
It's definitely for the adventurous traveler who wants to get off the beaten track. This is a total leap into the past. If you're looking for a luxurious vacation, I wouldn't necessarily recommend Romania. But if people want to educate themselves and see someplace really different, it's a great place to go. |
It's different. You've got to win today's game. It's almost like every game's an elimination game. I think it's a compliment to the teams the U.S. played against, and also it's the timing, so you don't get a true read of the teams. How many games of consequence do you have where a catcher plays half a game? |
It's essentially impossible for any non-Democrat to win in Gary. He would have faced a real uphill fight in 2007 unless he formed a very interesting coalition. It was an indication he might not have been interested in running again. He's been there for a while and politics in the region takes a toll on you. |
It's frustrating for me and the rest of the team to leave guys in scoring position that many times. It's different with a runner on third and two outs, that just hurts your heart. You want to drive in a run. With a runner on second, you know you need a hit and you just want to lock in and hit the ball hard. |
It's funny because earlier in the game, I'd had a single with Raul (Ibanez) on second base and he didn't score, ... We were joking on the bench. Reeder said he would have scored on that one. And then later he's on second and he doesn't score. It's just one of those things. We didn't think any more about it. |
It's generally the best time to get someone, when they've put in a few years with one organization and they are trying to break through, ... Hopefully, we've got them at the right time. Needless to say, there are tremendous opportunities this year for veteran players to get more ice time than they ever had. |
It's going to be a great race. I can't imagine an environment where someone would leave this kind of situation that has so many positive attributes. What I like the most about Katherine is that she is tenacious in her desire to help Florida and it's going to show through and the race is going to get closer. |
It's hard for me to say. I'm not out there. I don't know how their practices were being run. It's hard to make those statements from afar. Those are the issues that obviously are concerning to all the clubs involved. . . . I don't know if (Team USA) was too aggressive or too conservative. I just don't know. |
It's his birthday and scoring goals is the best way to celebrate for a striker but we are not talking about his new contract. That'll be the next question. I like to see him scoring goals, for sure, and also playing well. The most important thing for us is to see him working hard until the end. He did that. |
It's inevitable that success breeds success. I think the more you envision yourself doing good things and the more you have that mental diary of past successes ... the more successes you have, the more you can recall on those past victories and say I've been there and done that. That's been important to us. |
