I've learned some lessons in that area. I haven't been in a clubhouse as supportive as this one, with these guys, in a long, long time, ... For us to change any part of [that], it would have to be, for me, a knockout, a no-brainer type. You don't want to risk upsetting the chemistry, the flow we have out there. |
I've obviously got a psychological advantage being a spinner against those guys, with the record that I've got against South Africa. If they want to juice [the wicket] up and negate me, I'll take my 0 for 40 and we win in three days. That means a series win and a couple of days of golf. I'll take it every time. |
I've talked to some guys who've won championships, and the one thing coming into the next season is they seem to fall into a complacency. The additions of myself and Nick_and we've never won_we're going to keep on those guys. This team has never repeated, so they have that motivation. Hopefully it's all enough. |
If [Bush administration officials] were referring to Niger when they were referring to uranium sales from Africa to Iraq ... that information was erroneous and ... they knew about it well ahead of both the publication of the British white paper and the president's State of the Union address, ... Meet the Press. |
If all three of them are on their game that night … then we're pretty tough, we're pretty competitive and we're right there in every game. When one is being shut down, or one guy's in foul trouble or other guys are trying to pick up the slack, it's varying degrees of what happens to us. That's the M.O. on us. |
If I set up waves with known amplitudes and synthesize them, I'll find that for essentially all random combinations of phases, the thing I get is an object not confined. It takes a very clever combination of the phases of all those waves to add up to something in only one region; and cancel out everywhere else. |

If I'm going to tell you how much the West Bank and Gaza needs for the next five years, I would tell you $3 billion. But I'm realistic. I know the political life of the United States, the American Congress, the Senate -- and I think we're going to aim at a very realistic number, hundreds of millions of dollars, |
If nothing else, a flat-to-inverted Treasury yield curve is the financial market's way of telling policy-makers that there is no compelling need for a higher federal funds rate. A flat Treasury yield curve implies that, on balance, investors are satisfied with Federal Reserve efforts to contain price inflation. |
If there's a culprit, (it's) those special interests who don't want school finance to pass, ... Certain lobbyists — rich and greedy lobbyists for the Texas chemical companies, for some oil and gas companies — are really out of touch with their members. They did everything they could to block school finance. |
If three quarters of the way through the call, you want to record it, it goes back and grabs the call from the very beginning, for somebody who gets an irate customer, or a really good customer, or a call that would be great for training?there's a number of reasons why you might want to record a call on demand. |
If we are healthy, I think we've got a pretty good chance of being a pretty good club. There are some areas that you hope will hold up. Most of them are health related. But I would say that we've done a decent job of filling in some of the gaps. I'm really pleased with the type of players we've brought in here. |
If we can come out in the first four minutes and be close, even or ahead we will be in it. If we get overwhelmed, make mistakes and are not ready for that intensity or action it is going to be a long night. We have the talent, but we just don't have the experience. Hopefully we can gain it in a quarter or less. |
If you believe that getting that out in the seventh is critical to you having a chance to win in the ninth, sometimes you make a move for one hitter to face one pitcher. You have convinced yourself that by getting this out, we have a better chance to win; if we don't get this out, we won't be in position later. |
