andy aspects catch consistency game gets good hit potential realize team three throw week
Andy didn't throw an 11-4 game. It's a shame. I know it's an oversimplification but there are really three aspects to this game -- you have to hit the ball, throw it and catch it. And this week we haven't been able to put all of those together. Our consistency has to get better. They can be a really good team -- there's a lot of potential there. But when you don't do everything right, every little thing gets magnified. They have to realize how good they can be.
ball care defense feet job moving nice potential realized selective took
We realized our potential tonight. We took care of the ball and took selective shots. We did a nice job of moving our feet on defense and contesting shots.
decided election interested issues realized timing year
I think they realized the timing was all wrong. This is an election year and they decided to go after issues Georgians are interested in, such as immigration and taxes.
realized timing
I think they realized the timing was all wrong.
assessment failed people realistic stand
failed to give the American people a realistic assessment of where we stand today, and where we should be going.
bounce cat dead glass half mode point reality
We're in that mode here where there's a dead cat bounce and that the glass is half full. At some point reality will set in and then the glass will be half empty.
real people film
A visit to the hood through a record, or through a video, or through a film, is a lot safer than actually visiting the people in real life. It became a business model. It became a revenue engine that, you know, you can get to the hood without ever going there.
real trying world
I wanna go to the clubs and actually have a good time too, but at the same time, when the party's over, I have to go back to the real world and try to figure out who I am.
writing technology reality
The immediacy of the technology of the web allows us, as songwriters, to write something very sharp and quick. That has a lot to do with helping a songwriter be more reflective of reality, instead of being in an area where you have to process things. It's the difference between processing fish and catching it in a boat.
reality hard-times people
Young people are having a hard time with what's reality and what's fantasy these days...We created discussion. It wasn't to create controversy for sale's sake, but rather it was my obligation to use the medium for discussion. Nobody's discussing the grown-up topics; they are faking and fronting.
real people television
We don't see the people who are doing real things getting enough props. We often see politicians who are everywhere but nowhere at the same goddamn time. You know the kind of person: You see them everywhere on television but nowhere in front of your face.
real heart concrete
The real thing is the heart, you know the heart shouldn't be covered with concrete.
real people bigger
Real people do real things. A collective of a whole bunch of people who do things in their own locale, in their own neighborhoods - the sum is bigger than the parts, and the parts will grow.
real rap roots
Rap is supposed to be about keeping it real and not relinquishing your roots in the community. Without that, it's just posturing. Somebody who claims to speak for the 'hood don't need no private jet.
