Famous Quotes & Sayings

Phil Garner

We are a different club and we are probably not as offensively as potent as we were last year. We certainly don't have the possibility to break a game open with the long balls like we did last year. We're a little bit younger in our offense, but somehow we found a way. Our pitching is more solid than it was last year from top to bottom. Our bullpen has been good on the balance of the year and having Andy Pettitte healthy has helped our rotation quite a bit. We are probably a little stronger in the pitching department and probably a little weaker in the offense department.

We're still a run-oriented team. We take pride in our offensive line. Even with a line that was 4/5th new last year we ran for 2,000 yards. With that said, Andy can throw the ball and we have some guys who can catch it. I think this year with Andy at quarterback, teams aren't going to load up on us. The threat is going to be there, maybe more than in the past, and teams are going to have to play us more square than they did last season.

Alan Hansen

Andy Gray is a great pundit and a great co-commentator. I couldn't co-commentate for love nor money. I've tried but I just can't do it, so as an all-rounder I'd say Andy's much better than I am.

Gilles Muller

As you saw last night, everyone was counting Andy to the semis and finals,

Brad Ausmus

After talking to him, I think he was battling himself a little bit, ... But trust me, I'll take Andy at any time, at any point with any game on the line.

Phil Garner

I knew we weren't a 15-under-.500 team. When the season started, I thought we were probably five games over .500. Then, if we got a little bit lucky, I thought we could be 10 games over. I think we're fortunate to be 14 over .500 because we didn't figure on Andy Pettitte (17-9, 2.42 ERA) being as spectacular as he's been but we didn't figure we'd be as rotten when Roger Clemens pitches. Go figure.

I knew we had to win and we had to win now. We just needed a spark and Andy provided that tonight.

Jamie Murray

I'm not in the least surprised that Andy is doing really well as he has always been single-minded and knew exactly what he wanted to do, ... Of course we are competitive, but in a good way, and it's great to see him doing well. I know he has the self-belief to keep it going.

I'm excited about the opportunity. Obviously (former coach Bob Huggins) isn't there and I'll miss that, but (coach Andy Kennedy) is there and is doing a good job. The atmosphere will be terrific. They don't like us and we tend to thrive on that. It should be fun.

I'm actually excited, looking forward to getting (Kreis and Cunningham) on the field together at the same time and hopefully having Andy underneath them.

Oh, man, there was this screening the other night. One of the special nights of your life where you feel ... I mean, this was at the Warner Bros. screening room and you had Dan Rather there and Tom Brokaw, Brian Williams, Andy Rooney ... Walter Cronkite gave a speech at the party afterward. And everyone seemed to like it ... Bill O'Reilly ...

Oh, I'm just going to catch up with him and throw him to Andy to take care of.

Craig Biggio

It was a good pitcher's duel, but it would have been tough to waste that pitching performance by Andy. The biggest thing with Andy was getting his velocity back. Everybody in here knew that once he did, you're going to see what you saw before. When he's throwing that cutter at 83-84-85 miles an hour last year and getting away with it then, you could only imagine what it was going to be like when he started getting it up to 90-91.

It was obvious when Andy joined us that here was an outstandingly talented individual that many people thought could go all the way in terms of being a FTSE chief executive. But he has had to deliver, and he's delivered outstandingly well over the last six years for HBOS.

Tim Henman

It was obviously a fantastic week for Andy reaching his first ATP final,

Shalrie Joseph

It's very important that me and Andy (Dorman) in midfield cut out the passing lanes so they don't get it forward. We need to try and be more defensive and drop back and help, to make sure our defenders are not left one on one.

It worked out for the best. We were wondering who the coach was going to be, and when they told us Andy Kennedy, it was a real nice comfort zone.

They were boxing in Andy all night with a defender in front of him and behind him so we moved him out behind the three-point line. We set up a couple of plays for Andy to get open looks and luckily for us he hit them.

They would say, Andy, we need two Coke bottles standing next to an apple, and we need the background to be yellow. He'd say OK. Meanwhile, the wife of the head of J. Walter Thompson would decide it should be blue. So the next morning Andy would have that drawing in blue.

Brad Ausmus

There's something different about each one of them. Roger is different in his preparation and experience. Andy separates himself with his concentration on the mound. And I think Roy probably has the best pure stuff.

Brad Childress

I hire them and I have to trust them. Andy did that. Barry (Alvarez at Wisconsin) did that. (The coordinators) have taken the ball and run with it. They're good leaders. But to be a good leader, you have to have good followers.

Mike Riley

I hope Andy Darkins can come back and play from that. Right now we can't count on that. I'm hoping it's a worst-case scenario bringing up he can't play.

I really like Andy Kennedy. He's a great guy, but he's going to have the tag of 'interim coach,' which makes it virtually impossible to recruit. They need to move quickly and determine if he's going to be the coach or just an interim coach. You can't do recruiting on a permanent basis, because kids aren't going to make a commitment if they don't know who they are going to play for.

I really loved Andy Kaufman growing up, like every comedy person does. I like when sometimes the audience isn't quite sure what's supposed to be happening right then and that sort of unsafe feeling, as long as you're not punishing them.

Phil Garner

I'm a resident of Houston, and I was unemployed at the time, when they were talking about bringing Andy back,

I don't know if I asked Andy to go to Dr. Keen or not, ... (Keen) is someone Andy knew and respected.

I didn't know Andy Kennedy. There are a lot of folks who just like their names in the newspaper and want to be perceived as being part of the search for their own reasons. We wanted to see how wide a net we could cast, then start filtering out the ones who didn't fit.
