Famous Quotes & Sayings

From time to time we do these investigations and try to battle prostitution on 14th Street and in some of these lingerie shops, but the problem is, there's unfortunately a demand for it. It's an ongoing problem.

Sam Cassell

I was always a Laker fan - Magic Johnson, James Worthy, my main man Norm Nixon. Kobe Bryant's my favorite player. It would be the battle of Hollywood - it would be great for the city.

Kevin just missed it. We had the tying runs on and Kevin at the plate. I'll take my chances with that most every game. Garcia won that battle and you have to tip your cap to him.

Kevin pitched another good game for us. We've got some guys that are swinging the bat really well. We had some timely hits. Our success depends on what we do. As long as we can make good contact, we'll be in pretty good shape. We have to try to get a little better every time.

Andy Reid

I wouldn?t say lucky. You?re going to have these types of games and it?s important that you come out of these on our side of the stick and that you battle through it. Everything is not going to be a 42-3 game. You?ve got to have the wherewithal to battle a little bit, and our guys did that.

Jake swings the bat pretty well. We wanted him to get some more work at first base, and he just happened to come up in the last inning and got a big hit.

I would say it was a pretty good battle over the years. I'd say it was a pretty good competition,

I would say it's a very typical Imperial Valley swarm. I would tell people, like any earthquake in California, to consider it as a reminder to get the battery and food and water and everything. But I don't think there's a big danger from it.

Karla has an established record in the community in not only participating, but also delivering, and so she will probably have a bigger battle with confusion over her opponent's name than over her opponent's record. Any reasonable person would be worried about the name confusion.

Kari has carried us on the boards all year. She has improved so much. She put in a lot of time in the off-season. When it comes to the state tournament they just don't call as many fouls, especially off the ball. She's been bruised, battered and bloody. She's a warrior. I love her game.

Joseph pitched well enough to win. We didn't swing the bat like we needed to, and we didn't make the plays we needed to behind him tonight.

Kelly Smith

Jordan pitched with a lot of heart after having pitched extended innings a couple days ago. Our bats were really flat behind him, because we struck out 10 times and had only three walks.

Bobby Cox

Jordan has been swinging the bat good and he's running good, ... He can certainly help us.

Joe is a senior, he's been our rock all year. Then we lost Jon ... the teeth didn't look good. But maybe this will be beneficial to our guys who had to battle through the adversity.

Wayne Graham

Joe feels that he can function better in his dual role as a Sunday starter. He's obviously a bat that we have to have.

Joe didn't have very good stuff tonight, and that is not terribly unusual in a second start. After making a strong start last week, I thought he looked a little tired and you have to be able to battle through that.

John has a knack for making things happen batting where he does.

John had one target only and that was to win. It looked like a straight battle between John and Valentino Rossi, but I think they pushed each other to the limit and both ended up watching the last 10 minutes of the session.

David Eckstein

Juan has wheels and can handle the bat pretty well. Tony knows what he is doing. Juan is the type of hitter who can do a lot once he settles in and gets in his groove. He has a great stroke down through the zone. He's not the only one who struggled early. I hadn't been swinging the bat that well either. He's going to mean a lot to this lineup over the long run.

J.R. is just J.R.. He fights and battles and keeps us in every game.

Jim Haslett

I think it's a good rivalry. Any time we play them, we rise to the challenge. I think all our football games are close. Even the game we had in Baton Rouge (in November) in front of about 10,000 people, it was one of those battles. It helps when both teams know each other well.

Lance Berkman

I think it's a good position to be in because we'd like to get off to a good start, but if we don't, we know we can battle back from it.

I think it'll be a three-team battle between us, Wayland and East Longmeadow.

I think it had to be a little frustrating for them. But you have to give us some credit, too. We did a good job on defense, especially down the stretch. It was a tough shooting night for both of us. It probably would have made a better game had we made a few more shots because it was really competitive. It just came down to who made the plays when they needed to make them. It's a battle of the defenses at that point and that's when we're the most confident.

Cory Lidle

It broke his bat and went 330 feet. I figured it was going to be right there, but it kept back there. It definitely would've been a home run last year.

It became clear that his bat was not going to progress to the point where it would take him to the big leagues. We talked about the notion of putting him on the mound for a long time. Ultimately, we were waiting for him to really want to do it.

I think it's an uphill battle all the way.

I think its going to bother them for a while. But these guys are mentally tough and I expect them to battle back.
