Famous Quotes & Sayings

Bruce Bochy

He was a real shot in the arm when we brought him up. He's done some damage with the bat, with extra-base hits, and he's played nice outfield. He's a good athlete. He's a guy who plays both sides of the ball well. The job that he did when we brought him up, I think, was the reason why we did want him on this roster. It gives us more flexibility against left-handed pitching.

Kiran More

He was always in the scheme of things and we had only been trying others against Sri Lanka, which is not a very strong Test team.

Jaromir Jagr

I wouldn't say the effort wasn't there, we just didn't play smart enough. Not many teams play the trap against us. It's something new we have to learn ... It looks like they're already starting to play playoff hockey.

Larry Bowa

I wouldn't bet against him. He's got that element of speed. He's able to put the ball in play and beat out hits. Knowing him, he probably thinks he can go 86 games, not just 56.

I wouldn't like to live in a castle now, but I'd enjoy a visit to Restormel in Cornwall in its 13th century prime. It's a circular castle with the rooms built against the outer walls and quite intimate in size. Life there wouldn't follow the pattern of more classic castle design.

I wouldn't have believed it. We are on a roll. But if you had told me that our team would be competing against all the teams that we played to date, yes, I would've believed that.

I would rather have him play. You don't want to play against a team that's not full strength.

Christopher Hitchens

I would rather be held in contempt than support such a scandalous outcome. I won't testify if it's just against (Blumenthal), ...

It was a threat against a potential witness -- a very vulgar and crude one, very typical of his modus operandi.

Albert Pujols

I would have taken a one-for-three or a one-for-four and win the game. That's what it's about. We just didn't find a break where we could score and get a bunch of hits early against Armas. ... (The wins) are what you play for.

I would have loved to have a chance to wrestle against him and see where I stand. I really wanted to.

Steve Yzerman

I would have loved the opportunity to play against Ottawa this year. We missed the entire division.

We went into good teams? buildings and won.
