admire bat hitter home knocked last plate society splendid tolerant
Traditionally, baseball punishes preening. In a society increasingly tolerant of exhibitionism, it is splendid when a hitter is knocked down because in his last at bat he lingered at the plate to admire his home run.
alive defense last ourselves pride rust saw stay weeks
I think we saw the rust from the last two weeks off early. We pride ourselves on our defense and rebounding. That's how you stay alive in the postseason.
affected behind besides community incredible last living others outside pulled quite seen spend united victims
I think it's quite incredible how the community pulled behind the victims and the others who were affected by the hurricanes. I've never seen anything like it, besides here in the United States. And we've spend the last 17 years or so living outside the U.S.
balance book couple felt game giving last plans playoffs rather saturate series spent talking time trying
I think this series we've spent too much time talking about what we have to do rather than just playing. That's why the last couple of game plans have been simpler. Trying to do little things rather than saturate the brain. I've always felt in the playoffs there is a balance between giving them too much information. We have so much information. We have a 280-page book on the LA Clippers.
airplane degree engine front last leak oil
Last November, an engine was removed from another airplane (and was) put through some degree of maintenance at Delta. This had to do with an oil leak on the front bearing, which is at the very front end of the engine.
absolutely chickens danced delighted last remember sold victory
I remember when we sold our last 1,000 hens, Helen and I danced a victory dance! We were absolutely delighted that there were no more chickens on the place.
ability carry last loss lost since tons
We've lost the ability to carry 2,000 or 3000 tons on some of the 1000-footers (freighters) since last year, ... That's a loss of about $100,000 on every voyage.
couple enormous final games last lost minutes number plays
We've lost an enormous number of games in the final seconds. They made plays in the last couple of minutes and we didn't.
break couple cross days last past starting tried
Over the last couple of days we've tried to break past C$1.1650 (85.83 U.S. cents) and we really haven't been able to do it, and I think what we're starting to see now is some profit-taking, not only on dollar/Canada positions, but on cross positions.
eight half last lost nearly remarkably seasons teams three
Our three teams the last three seasons have been remarkably different. We lost nearly half our team from last season, eight players, and we've had to become much more of a three-line team.
great last louis president run seven tremendous
I think Louis is a tremendous candidate. He's had a great run for the last seven years as the president of Pratt & Whitney.
bruce control last series step though took
I thought he took a big step in last year's playoffs. Even though we didn't win, he got better control of Bruce Bowen (as the series progressed).
absent balance chances ended geographic helps last problem ticket time
I think it's a real problem not to have some geographic balance on the ticket, and I don't think that it helps their gubernatorial chances not to have a geographic balance. The last time that balance was absent was 1970, and that ticket ended in defeat.
badly last punished quit quitters reflect spirit winners yorkers
Sure, we got punished badly last night, but winners never quit and quitters never win. New Yorkers never quit, and we reflect the spirit of New York.
