fought game hard league physical
Every game in this league is a hard fought battle. We wanted to play physical and take it to them. Selah wanted to play physical and take it to us. I say let's go at it.
contest defend game hard talked trying win
They wanted to win a game for Greg. We talked about trying to scrap, defend hard and contest every shot.
defense game kept knew played
Our defense has kept us in every game we've played this year. I knew we'd come out and play hard.
baseball games people
I love the game, it's the greatest game on earth, that's why I can't understand all of this talk about trying to make the game better. People talk about the high strike zone and changing this and that. Why? To speed up the game? That's the beauty of baseball. There is no time element.
games play fields
I have figured out it's not what you do on the field, it's how many games you play in.
team winning games
My only goal is to play 162 games and help this team win. If I can do that, everything will take care of itself.
games names doe
Come on, when does it come to the point where your name can't come up in trade talks? Willie Mays got traded. Pedro Martinez got traded. So what? That's part of the game.
attitude games play
I was fortunate to play for Pete Rose and have teammates like Ken Griffey Sr., Tony Perez and Dave Concepcion. I grew up in the game with a mature attitude. I've always known it was better to be seen and not heard.
games lasts good-times
I'm having a good time. I'm going to treat every game and every day as if they are my last because I now know that they could be.
afford budget district few handed large last matter pay raises respect sitting surplus worth
We think the district can afford it. They have a large budget surplus sitting in the bank; we think we're worth it and for us it's a matter of respect after the pay raises they handed out to administrators over the last few years.
late missed
We missed some one-and-ones late in the game. Then they made some big baskets.
given grace
If we had given up, he'd still be in jail. It's by the grace of God.

Bush was in trouble even before Katrina. He was losing support on Iraq , people were worried about the economy -- even if the objective data don't necessarily support that -- and Katrina exacerbated all of that.

Bush has not too much time to turn things around before he becomes an ever-lamer lame duck.
