I'm more inclined to go back now because Limerick has changed so much. One of the reasons it was such a grim... or the grimmest of all towns, was that it was the only large city or town in Ireland that didn't have a university. So they put in a university about 20 years ago, and it has changed the whole atmosphere of the place. |
I'm not going to let him beat us with one swing of the bat in a tie game. I saw the velocity in his bat. The velocity is still there. Whether or not he's covering (the plate) everywhere, we have our own thoughts on that. But he still hit some balls very hard. In that situation, we can't let them get one swing to put them ahead. |
I'm not sure we're going to see any better punter against us the rest of the year. It's almost impossible. Let's just say that every once in a while, now we'll get a little better field position on a couple of drives. We haven't gotten any turnovers yet either, and those typically come in bunches, and those are real contagious. |
I'm pretty good at doing Super Bowls and Final Fours, ... I understand those are different from elections or conventions, but there are more similarities than differences. I pride myself on really good storytelling. We do a lot of really good reporting, although the subject matter may be different, steroids or coaching changes. |
I've been battling injuries the last two months, and it was a painful weekend for me, ... I've had knee, ankle and hand problems. I was just satisfied to qualify in match play (the round of 16 that began Sunday's action), but I wanted to get off to a good start. When I won my first match, it gave me the incentive to go further. |
I've been playing really well the whole summer and it's very satisfying to start a tournament like this, ... I missed a few opportunities early in the first set but I just kept going for my shots and tried to stay calm and believe in what I was doing. She serves hard but I felt I was in control and it was just a matter of time. |
I've changed some things this year. It has been more mental. I don't think it's mechanical. I'm trying to continue to not chase bad pitches and look more for my pitches on different counts, ... Tom McCraw has gotten to my head enough by saying, 'Until you get two strikes, hit your pitch.' And I'm starting to do that a lot more. |
I've found I need to be very specific about what type of equipment to use. Also, over the last 10 years, we find that more and more recipes use ingredients that are already partially prepared. Instead of relying on basic ingredients, they use mixes and frozen foods and things like that. Recipes are also using fewer ingredients. |
I've got three more chances to win, ... Phoenix is a good chance, and Homestead is a real good chance. Last year at Homestead I led a ton of laps and ran second most of the day, me and Biffle, back and forth. He put four tires on at the end; I did two for track position. He won and I finished seventh. I should have put on four. |
I've never believed in favorites at this time of the year. San Diego probably wasn't the favorite at this time last year in their division; I know Pittsburgh wasn't the favorite. I like our guys and we think we're going to be an excellent team and be there at the end, but you have to prove it in the 16 games that are coming up. |
I've never run this course before. I know that's it's extremely flat. I figured if I could go out there and push it from the beginning, I wasn't going to have too much difficulty later on in the race, in terms of large hills. That's how I usually like to run — go out hard and hang on. But it's a great course, I like it a lot. |
I've said all along, no way we would be in any competition with Louisiana. If the games can be played there (New Orleans), that's where they should be played. But if they couldn't be played there, I was very interested in trying to be a temporary relocation center for the team. This team is absolutely going back to New Orleans. |
If a design is created in France then it could be modified in China. If the Chinese have a big project and need help to meet a deadline, engineers in Italy and France could step in. We can work directly with our customers to quickly resolve problems and deliver better quality during studies. It gives us much better flexibility. |
If he gets out of the pocket, he is scary. The bottom line is getting to their quarterback. He can beat you with his feet, he is very accurate and he has some talented receivers (Brian Gambuzza, Greg Gillespie) who he works well with. We have to get to him, beat them up on the front lines, play aggressively and take it to them. |
If I go out and play well, shoot 3-, 4-, 5-under par and get to 20-under, it's going to be hard for anybody to get there without shooting a low round. I want to try to focus on what I have to shoot and keep playing the way I've been playing. I have a good feeling you have to get to at least 18-under to win this golf tournament. |
