Famous Quotes & Sayings

Lewis has good control and keeps the ball down in the strike zone.

Ron Gardenhire

Lew is fine wherever you put him. He's going to play like Lew, he's going to hustle, run balls out and hopefully some of his balls will fall in. Last year he wasn't as lucky as he had been the year before. A lot of times hits will go down to being lucky, and this past year he wasn't quite as lucky.

Abby Wambach

People don't understand that the feel of the surface is so important for a footballer. The ball travels on the surface; our feet move on the surface - all of that goes into how the game is actually played.

The production at the top of our order was a big part of the success today. So many different guys contribute on a ball club, but obviously you want to look at the production of guys who are capable, with experience, of doing that.

Trey Burke

I think college prepared me at a really high level. High school, you can take some plays off on the defensive end. Not on purpose, but if your man gets tired, you can rest a little bit. But once you get to college, and especially in the NBA, you can't do that. Even if my man gives the ball up, I'm on help side, helping my team out.

Tracee Ellis Ross

I loved being a redhead! I always wanted to try it. I was obsessed with Lucille Ball growing up. I really wanted to try it but I always thought that doing it would ruin my hair.

We're just too careless with the basketball. We don't value the ball enough, but a lot of that was Dave's defense. The difference was really their pressure and our inability to take care of the ball.

The outfield may not be as fast as I would like. I would hope they will make the routine plays and every once in a while make a spectacular play. We may not be able to run down balls hit in the gaps, but hopefully we won't drop the routine fly ball, either.

Bret Easton Ellis

We buy balloons, we let them go.

Bob Dylan

Laurieann Gibson

I am trained, and I did do 'The Nutcracker' in its right form, but at the time, they told me I was black and I'd never be in 'Swan Lake.'

Kerry Greenwood

I've always been in love with Melbourne. When I was 12, I was taken into the city by my grandmother to go to the ballet for the first time.

Keshia Knight Pulliam

If my skin is feeling a little dry, I use La Mer face cream. I also love their Eye Concentrate. It goes on with this little metal ball thing that's very refreshing.

Keri Hilson

Years ago, I wanted to be like the girl Ne-Yo. You know, with the mid-tempo ballads - I come from the Babyface era. But that's not trendy; that's not hip-hop.

Lee Trevino

I always loved hitting a low fade to a back-right pin with the wind howling from the right. Not many guys could get it close in that situation, because they kept it low by just putting the ball back in their stance. You see, playing the ball back turns you into a one-trick pony - you can only hit hooks.

Olesya Rulin

Me in high school, I was kind of a loner. I had a handful of friends. I'd eat my lunch in my car every day in my senior year. I went to ballet. I was a ballerina, so I was very focused on that. You kind of have to be. That was two-thirds of my week, going to ballet class.

Tiki Barber

Rushing the ball is all about ball control. If you run the ball, you control the clock. If you control the clock, you usually control the game.

We are going to make a change at quarterback. We're going to hand the ball to Marcus Stone. There's something missing (with the offense), and it's a shame that it's always pointed towards the quarterback. We're just going to take a look at this. We discussed it this morning with Jay and Marcus.

We are going to look ... for the fastest, most direct route out of China, which is what the balloon wants to do anyway.

We are going to look a lot different on offense than in the past. We are going to throw the ball a lot more.

We are going to keep the ball down and not make mistake pitches to big hitters.

We are going to have to take care of the ball and defend better than we have been in the first eight games in order to win tonight.

Chad Johnson

We are going to have to protect the ball better, pass better, and rebound better. We need to try to learn from our mistakes, and try to improve, and prepare for Iowa Falls-Alden and what they do.

We are going to have to fight for balls in the air. Wright State will be very good in the air, and their goalie can punt the ball a long way.

This was a simple matter. A guy goes out on a field with a glove to play some ball - and the whole world went nuts.

Elliott Abrams

If you said to people you can cast a secret ballot on whether to turn back the clock and have Morsi in power again, I don't think very many people in Washington would turn back that clock.

When he lines up in the backfield, you hear the defense changing the play. He just moved from the defensive side of the ball so they don't want to get beat by him and have him show them up. With that type of play-making ability, he can take a little swing pass, or just having the ball in his hands is electric.

Shannon Stewart

When he hit it, I had a good break on it. It seemed like one of those balls that kept going downward as I got closer, and then I was caught. I thought I'd have a chance to dive and catch it, but then as I did that, it pushed away from me.

When you're a championship team, you just have to play over whatever is thrown at you. The bottom line is we didn't shoot the ball well enough to win.

We had chances. Even at nine points we come out and throw the ball away three or four straight times to start the third quarter. We just got into force mode a little early and when you don't take care of the basketball, nothing good is going to happen.

We had chances early, but they hurt us on the offensive boards. They get out on the break and we feed that when we turn the ball over like we did.' It's hard to get anything out of a game like this. We've got a big character game tomorrow in San Antonio.
