high list town wish
If there's a need, and that's what the residents would like to see, then that's great. Every town has a wish list of what they want, and if that's a high priority, then that's what the town should do.
energy level notch picks rest run team
You run out of things to say about Pedro. As he goes, the rest of the team goes. Our energy level picks up a notch when he pitches.
giant playoffs series since small steps
I won't say it's World Series or bust. We haven't been to the playoffs since 2000. We have to take those small steps before we take that giant leap.
almost city dallas either park portion strong suburbs university vibrant voice
Almost every portion of Dallas and the suburbs around us have a strong and vibrant neighborhood association presence. We didn't have a voice at City Hall, either with University Park or Dallas. But now we can.
almost core elementary math mostly state supports
The state core (curriculum), I believe, supports the Alpine program. If you were to get the elementary math (teacher) endorsement program, you could look at it and the math is almost trivial. It's mostly about pedagogy.

I'll support England to win, and she'll support Portugal but we're not aggressive about it,
bound felt five four opportunity seen
I felt like we could've (qualified more). We had an opportunity in the consolation matches. We were bound to get four or five through. I would've like to have seen more than one go.
ball batting bringing expect facing guys hours practice specialist took tough
It's tough without any at-bats to go up there and expect to see the ball well. You're cold, you took batting practice hours ago. Not only is there a lot of pressure, but you're usually facing one of the better guys out of the bullpen, a specialist they're bringing in.
convinced
I'm just not convinced that there's a need, but it's not for me to decide.
caught threw
It started tailing, ... I caught it cleanly, threw it cleanly.
month people start year
A lot of people have done it for a month or, in my case, a lot of people have done it for a year and a half. But when we start doing it year after year, then you have that argument.
amazing clear fooled good guys hitter hitters majority mind quick steps
He is about as intelligent a hitter as you can get, it?s amazing how quick he makes adjustments. You see him get fooled on a pitch, he steps out, you can see him clear his mind and you can see him make that adjustment. That?s what makes him better than a majority of the guys in the big leagues. Good hitters make adjustments in between games, and he makes adjustments in between pitches.
aches guys hope hurt pains respect
I have a lot of respect for guys who go out there with aches and pains and play hurt. I would hope that respect is mutual.
biggest continue deal dealing develop fail failure gone guy league leagues learn learned major minor raw talent year
You see that he has all the raw tools, and he does everything exceptionally well. The biggest thing is he has to learn he has major league talent and major league tools, but he has to learn to continue to develop mentally. You have to learn to deal with failure. He's gone through the minor leagues quickly, and you kind of want a guy to fail a little bit. I learned more out of that year (in 2003) dealing with failure than I did in any other year when I was doing well.
