It’s just that we did have our chances and it would have been a good game to win.

We have all the right tools, all the right pieces. Now, the biggest goal is to get that chemistry, that cohesiveness, that we are playing for one another.

The countermeasures that we’ve seen in the past and looked at have not been credible countermeasures. They were objects that had very different signatures from the warhead. They were easily distinguishable by measurements that they...

[So the Wrights were crushed — at first — when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on June 23 that the Constitution does not stop cities from seizing homes to make way for commercial development projects.]...

We’re not going out there and setting our goals to try and knock teams out of the playoffs. We’re trying to just make sure to finishing on a strong note that can springboard us into...

I don’t think he got it in as much as he wanted to. He kind of left it over the plate and I put a nice, easy swing on it.

If we can come up with a good approach and show some changes, we’d be a role model.

That’s the biggest thing we were trying to get across is that we have all the right tools. The free-agent signings, the trades that have come over, we have all the right tools. We just...

Surprisingly, Utah is the second highest in the nation in the number of eighth-graders taking algebra, but we are still low in achievement. Our state math core only goes through linear equations.

It started tailing, … I caught it cleanly, threw it cleanly.

It was just a good pitch that I tried to do too much with and popped up. I would hope that more times than not, I would hit that pitch a lot harder than I...

I think a lot of people didn’t think that was a strike.

It’s not as though they can say we’ve done a lot of testing without the beacon.

We have all the right pieces to make the puzzle. I’m not saying it’s World Series or bust. The first step is for us to become a playoff-caliber team. We have to take small steps...

I want to be out there and be involved. You get that helpless feeling when you’re sitting on the bench. I don’t want to be that guy. I’ll take a guy on my team that...

We just needed one right away, and Carlos gave it to us. That was big.

He just has this look in his eye that’s confident. He has that inner confidence, that swagger, that trickles down. When your leader has that confidence, it makes you confident.

He was phenomenal in spring training and I don’t expect anything different. He’s very cool, calm and collected.

There have been a ton of guys who start off the year great and go down from there. I want to be one of those guys who continues to get better and better and makes...

We’ve had our backs to the wall and bounced back all season. But it hurts more when you’re in a pennant race.

Sure, finishing last has negative connotations. But finishing second-to-last or last is still losing.

To go to the Welcome Home Dinner at 0-1 wouldn’t have been any fun.

We had a respectful disagreement. It has happened before and it will happen after me.

You see that he has all the raw tools, and he does everything exceptionally well. The biggest thing is he has to learn he has major league talent and major league tools, but he has...

I’ll be sitting in bed tonight thinking about the crowd and the energy today. That’s what New York baseball is all about. This is what I want to experience in October.

You’ve got to make it,

It’s an easy dish to make, and a lot of fun to eat.

Everybody in this clubhouse wants to be in that situation with the game on the line, with the bat in their hands. I was fortunate to come up with guys on base.

This is a very historic and rare monument for the state of Tennessee and for the United States.

That’s something we didn’t do enough last year — keep a team down.

We don’t ask any technical questions of the user. It’s very, very simple.

Once we got that close, we just said there was no way we were going to lose.

Last year we started off pretty horrible and this year we’re off to a good start. If this was a football season we’d be sitting pretty right now, but in baseball, we have a long...

I’m just not convinced that there’s a need, but it’s not for me to decide.

It just scared me a little bit. I felt a real, real sharp pain.

There’s a reason they do it EV-ER-Y SIN-GLE YEAR. They do the small things right.

It’s still a game and you’d rather win it than lose it.

This is what good teams do: Find a way to bounce back after a loss.

I’m going to make errors. That comes with the territory. I felt there were times last year when I was playing not to make mistakes, not playing aggressive. At third base, you have to play...

Sounds like the kind of stuff routinely done with this kind of network. It’s hard to imagine they would design one without it.

It?s not as complicated procedure to take them down.

I saw it too many times.

We had a lot of support from the state and from individual investors and from institutions.

As long as we get these big two-out hits and keep scoring runs late like this, we’re going to be in good shape.

It’s a confidence thing. The second half of last year, I felt more confident and I feel more comfortable this spring. That’s the big thing for me. I can work on drills and footwork all...

An even better May. We had a good start, but we can’t get complacent. I expect good things.

He’s very intelligent. He’s very astute. He’s got a great head on his shoulders and is aware about things that are going on in this world.

He’s got that goofy smile and the kids love him with the big head, … He reminds me of Ramon Castro. He’s very friendly, outgoing. Mr. Met just symbolizes mascots in general the quirky nature,...

You’ve got to be the man to have a major league baseball game stop for you and to have a five-minute tribute and to have five or six curtain calls. That’s when you know you’ve...

I have a lot of respect for guys who go out there with aches and pains and play hurt. I would hope that respect is mutual.
