Famous Quotes & Sayings

Jim Boyd

Kickers are a little different and you've got to be careful with them because they think too much. Before this ballgame I talked to Joe and I said, 'Joe, just go out there and kick the ball. Don't think about it. Just go out and kick it because there's going to be a situation where we need you in this ballgame,' and sure enough, here it was and he came through beautifully for us.

Tommy Amaker

I would say one possession here or there was going to determine the outcome of this ballgame for either team. I thought both teams laid it on the line, put great effort out there to make things happen.

Matt Stairs

I think it's gotten past the point of frustration for us. When we make a mistake, it seems to beat us. Tonight it was an infield hit. I thought it was a good ballgame and I thought we played well, but we lost.

Jerry Christensen

I think the key to the ballgame was when we made that little run. That was the run that we needed, and then we just kind of held on for dear life.

Clint Hurdle

I think you saw the passion he has for competition. The way he kept after it and kept us in the ballgame - a couple early innings could have gone south on him. He didn't let it happen.

Jerry Narron

I think winning that ballgame with only five hits gave the guys confidence to go out and swing the bats.

Stan Hyman

We've finished second in the conference two years in a row, but to get over the hurdle you've got to be able to put runs on the board. We've played a lot of low-scoring ballgames and we didn't score early in a ballgame ... so we kept coming back late.

Craig Brodie

We threw a quick pass, a fade route, and they called holding on our center. Our center didn't even have a chance to hold (because the play was so quick). It's a different ballgame (without the penalty).

I. Stone

I thought she was solid for them. She really kept them in the ballgame and made some big saves.

Stan Coveleski

I wouldn't throw all spitballs. I'd go maybe two or three innings without throwing a spitter, but I always had them looking for it.

Mike Scioscia

His stamina would be the main thing. We need to see if he can go out and throw 90 pitches. We need him to get us to the point, like any of the starters, to get us to the bullpen. But we have Esteban Yan and we have Kevin Gregg to give us innings if we need.

Josh Beckett

Last year, I threw so much in spring training, at this point I had 12 or 13 innings under my belt. It was ridiculous. I'm excited. I threw 60 pitches already, how many more do I have to have? Seventy-five or 80 in my next start, and from there I can go to 100, really.

Dusty Baker

He doesn't say it, but it's on our minds. The thing is he wants to pitch as many innings as he can to win.

Pete Dunn

Our nemesis all year has been offense. When you're struggling on offense like that, the last thing you need is to get down 4-0 in the first two innings like that.

Dennis Lillee

In the second innings Sobers showed me just how well he could bat,

Sourav Ganguly

I haven't scored runs for many innings but I know I'll get over it.

Robert Forster

You can win it in the late innings if you never quit.

Mike Pirtle

The key was we got to get some pitchers some work because the majority of innings have come from our two starters (Matt Stewart and Trey Johnson), because they've been pitching so well.

Simon Spurr

Spring 2010 is the second season that I'm showing the double-breasted suit. I think the right double-breasted suit is young again.

Doug Tolin

I thought we would come out and play better in the second half. But we could never really get anything going. It kind of went the other way on us.

Jim Court

I thought about it for 10 seconds or so.

Sue Donohoe

When he wanted to know what time it was, you had to get down there. You didn't tell him that it was 30 seconds left.

Jim Calhoun

We've got to take away 3-point shooting and not get fatigued by the shot clock. They make as many shots under 12 seconds as any team you're going to play.

Greg Thompson

I think it's who comes in second place.

Bruce Bainter

I went down there and it was up over the second step.

Mark E. Smith

We made some adjustments in the second half.
