I believe they did the right thing. We've always promoted that they use sound science and data to set our seasons and bag limits, and if wildlife management staff feel they need more time to make their final recommendations, then we are very happy to see that our commissioners are willing to wait before making any decisions themselves. |
I can't say enough about how hard they played in that second half. If we could have done any of that in the first half, I think we could have turned the game around. In the second half there were so many places we could have turned it around, too. I can't say enough about the effort that the kids put out. It was amazing, it really was. |
I could see no reason why used tram tickets, bits of driftwood, buttons and old junk from attics and rubbish heaps should not serve well as materials for paintings; they suited the purpose just as well as factory-made paints... It is possible to cry out using bits of old rubbish, and that's what I did, gluing and nailing them together. |
I could tell from early on when I made him a captain that he's a real solid citizen. He does a great job in the classroom and very active in community service. He's a modest player, but he's got a big heart. He's got his head on straight. He's the kind of kid that I would be proud to call my son, he's got that kind of character to him. |
I did wonder about that, but that's kind of how it is now, up and down. For coach Wallace, you gotta perform, in games and practice. He'll go with who's playing well at the time. It might be me one night, Hiram another and John (Wilder) another. It works for us. As a freshman, you have to learn to deal with that, and be mentally tough. |
I do believe there are kids who will choose a Tennessee or a Connecticut because of who they are and what they've done and not think about being the last kid on the bench. If we had 13 scholarships, that gives me two they can't get. But we need 15 because it gives you more room for error. You can gamble on some kids and work with them. |
I do feel there's unfinished business here, but I believe this team is headed in the right direction. I think the fans can appreciate the steps that have been made from last year. There's work to be done, and I don't feel like I've had the type of season I can possibly have for this ballclub, but yes, I'd like to be a part of it again. |
I do wear tails . . . I think it would be distracting to wear a long dress. You have to look ultra-formal and in command at the podium because, well, you are in command. Or you'd better be. . . . The music should be done so well that the audience forgets if you're a man or woman. There's nothing about conducting that's gender-specific. |
I don't care what a bunch of out-of-towners say, ... Trying to draw a comparison to development in the Pinelands 25 years ago to this is shoddy thinking. It sounds like one more person who is from out of town, who doesn't know the history of this project, who is passing judgment on what he perceives to be the current political climate. |
I don't doubt the sincerity of dowsers, but even after we've demonstrated that they can't produce results that are any better than chance they'll still go away believing in their abilities, ... It is like the mother whose son is caught shoplifting on tape. She wonders why someone would want to frame her child by producing a fake video. |
I don't know what the situation is with the Australian team but they seem pretty settled. In the same way that there were plenty saying last summer that they did not want to be in the side that loses the Ashes, there'll be more wanting to be in the team that regains them. We are under no illusion about how determined Australia will be. |
I don't need a guy like T.O. in the locker room. I don't need a virus like that. The guy destroyed two locker rooms [in Philadelphia and San Francisco] already and it's only a matter of time before it happens again. The guy's a great player and I'm sure he's a great person, but I don't want him to mess up everything we built down here. |
I don't think that we have necessarily underestimated it and I'm certain we accounted for enemy action. The specifics of the action -- no one can ever predict exactly how battle will unfold. We can't even completely predict how our own actions will unfold, but I think we can remain confident we have a good grip of what's going on here, |
I don't want there to be any confusion about this. My love and dedication is 100 percent with baseball. That's my job. That's what I think about every day. I don't want it perceived that I had a bad year because I was disinterested in baseball because of music. I am all about baseball. So I'm putting the music thing away for this year. |
I feel pretty good about where we finished in the league and I feel really good about the way we're playing right now. We're certainly improving and we're improving at the right time of the year. ... There's a confidence on this team, particularly in the younger guys. We're not going out hoping to win, we're going out expecting to win. |
