baseball team believe
Major League Baseball's labor negotiations involve two paradoxes. The players' union's primary objective is to protect the revenues of a very few very rich owners - principally, the Yankees'. The owners' primary objective is a more egalitarian distribution of wealth. The union believes that unconstrained spending by the richest three teams pulls up all payrolls. Most owners believe that baseball's problems--competitive imbalance, the parlous financial conditions of many clubs--result from large and growing disparities of what are mistakenly treated as 'local' revenues.
baseball team games
Baseball's best teams lose about sixty-five times a season. It is not a game you can play with your teeth clenched.
sports baseball team
In a nation committed to better living through chemistry - where Viagra-enabled men pursue silicone-contoured women - the national pastime has a problem of illicit chemical enhancement. Steroids threaten the health of the 5 percent to 7 percent of players proved, by a mild regime of scheduled tests, to be using them. Steroids also endanger emulative young people. Further, steroids subvert what baseball is selling - fair competition. And they strike at the pleasure of engagement with America's team sport with the longest history.
cute baseball team
Night baseball isn't an aberration. What's an aberration is a team that hasn't won a World Series since 1908. They tend to think of themselves as a little Williamsburg, a cute little replica of a major league franchise. Give me the Oakland A's, thank you very much. People who do it right.
finish season team
We just want to be the only team who doesn't finish the season with a loss.
bad bit breaks capable certainly division excelled farther felt gone good hope last missed objective playoff positive series team
We felt that we should've excelled and gone a little bit farther in the playoffs. But we think we are a playoff team and we hope to be better this year. There were certainly some positive things about last year. We missed out on the division by one point. We felt like we were having a good playoff series and got some bad breaks and it didn't go our way. But the objective is to go as far as you can, and we think we are capable of going farther.
bit game press steals teams throughout wear wore
We don't use the press to necessarily get steals and points. We press throughout the game to wear teams down. And I thought they wore down a bit under our pressure.
bite broke contact dead dirty elbows eye foul french german goalkeeper level lying outside seen teammates
I've seen elbows that broke eye sockets. I've seen a German goalkeeper just level a French guy. His teammates thought he was dead lying on the ground. This was in 1982 at my first World Cup. But a bite is outside any kind of contact collision: dirty foul play. A bite is a bite.
enjoy game good might playing team time worst
The worst time to be there is when the team isn't playing well. If your team is playing well, you might enjoy it. In any game it's important to get out to a good start, this a little more so.

Energy. Rotation. To put my best teams on the court. . . . To cover Sam. To get more minutes of a strong defender on Sam as I can.
blacks dangerous effort miss pay result team
The result was disappointing but I thought our effort was outstanding. The All Blacks are a very dangerous team and can make you pay if you miss tackles. They got off to a flyer.
absolute deny everybody financial state stay step success team work
The team would be an absolute financial success to stay in Oklahoma. I can't deny that. If everybody here, the state and everybody, can step up and give us some confidence, than everything's going to work here. ... I want it to work.

The team is looking a lot better. We have some timing issues cleaned up. This is the week we're just going to put it all together.
bring cause certainly fight game last players sacramento several state successful talented team trouble
Sacramento State is another team that can cause trouble. They fight well and have talented players that can bring a top-level game at any time. We've been pretty successful with them the last several years, but can certainly not take anything for granted.
