came defense flat hung second talented
We came out a little flat but we hung in there, especially our defense in the second half. We may not be the most talented team, but we do hustle.
black bought built everybody found model people
We built the Model T; it was black and a lot of people bought it. But we found out not everybody wanted it.
district lost match middle regular strength
That's where our strength is, in the middle of the lineup. We only lost one district (singles) match in the regular season.

(Cook) couldn't have made all of it up. Because he was in the park that day.
against bad ball hit pitchers quick throwing trouble wind
It was a bad day to play. The wind was blowing. They hit the ball pretty well. Our pitchers had trouble throwing strikes. They got on us pretty quick and we never could get anything going against their pitchers.
certainly later next reason storm weeks
It's the next storm that's going to be a problem. Say if this storm comes through and two weeks later you have another one. That certainly would be reason for concern.

It's like the difference between running through a shower or standing in it for a while. I prefer to run through this one.
beaten either good guys happened playing singles sitting tough
It's going to be a tough day (today), no question. Two of the singles (players) have beaten the guys they're playing before, so we're sitting pretty good there. In the doubles, either one of those could go either way. What happened before doesn't count.

It's going the way we pretty much thought it might go. We're very pleased with the way it's gone so far.

This may be a positive thing. These animals may have moved themselves to new winter range to avoid conflicts with the wolves.

It's a sad state of affairs when you raise victims' rights to the same level as the constitutional rights of the accused.
boats change comfort fight great greater last money people provide sitting six taking talent took waste
I took it from the AC Acts. I like change and taking people out of the comfort zone. It makes them better. If two boats are fun, six boats are a show. I have always thought it was a waste of great talent to have 6 of the 10 sitting around with nothing to do on the last day. Now they will have fun, fight for money and provide a greater spectacle.
effort girls incredibly outcome proud regardless seven
For everything we went through, I'm so incredibly proud of these seven girls. Regardless of the outcome of this season, just their effort is something to admire.
