career game great helped
I feel for him. He's had a great career and unfortunately with the way the game has gone, let's be truthful, it hasn't helped him in any regard. I feel for him in that way, too.
bases believe hit
What can I say? I go up to hit there and I still can't believe that I'm in this situation. Bases loaded, Cubs-Cardinals, Wrigley Field. I can't believe it.
awful checking classes hours literally minutes online power sitting three
When the e-mail was down after that power outage, it was awful because I had three classes for which I had to do online assignments. I was literally sitting there for hours waiting, checking every 15 minutes to see if it was working.
believe gone reflection year
We all feel responsible that he didn't get his 15 wins. I don't believe that it's as much a reflection on the way he's pitched as it is a reflection on the way the whole year has gone for us.
attack buddy cubs fans feels grown love quest surrounded time tip weary white win won
Fans have grown weary of the complacency that surrounded the Cubs. I know from my buddy back home. He's 42 and he's been a Cubs fan all his life. He feels like he's going to have a coronary attack every time we lose. Cubs fans love this team. They're not front-runners. And now that the White Sox have won the World Series, the quest to win a championship is on the tip of (Cubs fans') brains.

Fans have grown weary of the complacency that surrounded the Cubs for all these years. Cubs fans love this team. ... Now with the White Sox having won the World Series, their quest for this team to win the championship is on the tip of their brain.

Next year is not about what you've done in the past,
anyone center considered dedicated develop evening gorgeous handsome heard lincoln performed program reaction seek skeptical steve stevie unique unusual wonder
Darius has a high, gorgeous voice. He's also handsome and young. With that all going on, one day Darius will be a big star. When the idea of an evening dedicated to Stevie Wonder was first proposed, however, my reaction was skeptical at best. But then Darius performed the program at New York's Lincoln Center and got raves. Typically, we seek out and develop unique programs, nothing that anyone has ever heard before, so the Steve Wonder program is unusual for Moab. Had it been performed more than once, we probably would not have considered it.
affect catching nervous pitches
That's really what I'm more nervous about, because I'll see a lot more pitches catching than I will hitting. Hopefully, it won't affect us too much.
board care continue order skill stress sure tested tolerate
It's important to know when to order a costly echocardiogram or stress test. Managed care will not continue to tolerate this scattershot approach. Plus, internists are now tested on this skill for board recertification. Requirements for residents and other specialists are sure to follow.
help people pleasant
It was a pleasant experience; they make you feel comfortable. I'm healthy, so why not try to help other people out that need it.
home matter playing
It wasn't a matter of us playing at home or away. We just didn't do the job, period.
awkward ballpark looks
It looks like a whole new ballpark to me. It looks different, a little awkward right now.
