We're in a tight race right now and points are huge. We're in a battle to get in the playoffs and we've got 14 games left. We need to get some points. You can't get in playing like this. We're not winning.

David Hume

Battles, revolutions, pestilence, famine, and death, are never the effect of those natural causes, which we experience. Prodigies,omens, oracles, judgments, quite obscure the few natural events, that are intermingled with them. But as the former grow thinner every pagewe soon learn, that there is nothing mysterious or supernatural in the case, but that all proceeds from the usual propensity of mankind towards the marvellous, and that, though this inclination may at intervals receive a check from sense and learning, it can never be thoroughly extirpated.

Steve Kurzinger

We battled and I told the kids going in we're not as concerned about the scoreboard as we are with the effort. We got the effort. But it was the bonus points. You always want to get them and not give them up and they got them.

Rick Hendrick

Ricky and I talked about it and designed a shop and put our offices in there. We got Brian Whitesell, who was the architect, really, of the 24 and 48 coming together and made him team manager. When we put the two teams together 5 and 25, we promised him a bonus when they won their first race.

Bill Evans

My first foray into Evan's late-career albums, and it's even better than I had hoped for. Eddie Gomez on bass, and Evans even plays electric piano on a couple of bonus tracks. But the real meat is the original album. It's heading where it needs to be, but there are moments of surprisingly upbeat swinging, as well - and a nice take on 'Theme From M*A*S*H' ('Suicide Is Painless'). Once you've gone through the original trio recordings, you're going to be hooked for all you can get by Evans.
