The nature of the game is pain.

We made bad plays down the stretch, missed some plays that could have turned the game around.

I won an MVP trophy with the St. Louis Amateur Baseball Association. I didn’t even start. I was a sub on this team. This was, like, an All-Star game where we had athletes from different...

Whitney threw a great game.

That’s what we said after the game. It was important to get that win. It doesn’t matter how we did it. We could have played better than we did, but you know what. We’ll take...

The things he did inspired me to play the game at that level, … When I retired in 1999, I grounded out to second and gave it everything I had running down to first base...

I am like the Jack Nicholson of the Kings – every single game. If there was a game tonight I wouldn’t be here. I used to play hockey. That was my original thing. My first...

I feel good about it. I think I’ve worked hard enough to be deserving of this. It’s just a joy being able to go into other states and have people know who you are and...

I don’t particularly have any magical ambitions, but then, I never did. I just enjoyed the game.

When what one does, reps, or ‘spits’, repetitively, is foul or beastly – one summons spiritual undertakers to dine on fleshly parasites. In various forms, nature’s law purges all that becomes wasteful. Change your game,...

I was teasing him in the guts of the game. Hey, are you going to make a shot? That’s the way we are as a group. We have so much confidence in each other, there...

The heart of a man is a small thing but it desires great matters. It is not big enough for a dog’s dinner but the whole world is not big enough for it. Man spares...

If revenge motivates you, go for it! But the main thing is to set your game in order.

I personally prefer long-distance walking, but we are talking about pre-tournament preparation. During a tournament I make do with walking, mainly to concentrate before a game.

We are working hard to shore up the defensive end. Will Clark had been to state the last two years in the hitting derby and we have gone and watched him and the games. We...

There’s a difference between playing and playing games. The former is an act of joy, the latter — an act.

We must look after football and to do what it is necessary to bring to the game the best ethical values and personal behaviour.

My grandson Sam Saunders has been playing golf since he could hold a club and I spent a lot of time with him over the years. Like my father taught me, I showed him the...

This is a game of adjustments right here. About midway through the first quarter we’ll know what they do and they’ll know what we do, and whoever makes the best adjustments will probably have a...

That was a huge save for us. It kept us in the game, keeping the score only 1-0. That is as big of a save as you can have.

They (the Wings) played a playoff game tonight. They were gritty.

I wanted to be on the mound at the end of the game. I had a lot of respect for guys who did it and who did it for a long time and I wanted...

Even though you’re not in the game, you still like to win and see your teammates do well, so it was a little frustrating. But at the same time, we got out of this game...

It feels good to keep playing. Like I said the other day, I’m getting old and I want to keep playing. I don’t really want it to end. So another game, I’ll take it.

These last two games we’ve just been running basic stuff. But in practice the last two weeks, we’ve been working more specifically for next week’s game.

In a lot of ways we missed the game, but we did our best to take advantage of the time off.

I think overall with his game, he’s a little rusty. He’s a major-league player; he’s a major-league hitter. He’s going to be back up here. I just think, at this point, he needs some time...

We knew we had to keep fighting because we knew they are a tough team and would keep fighting to come back hard. We had to play the whole game out.

I feel like junk. But we’ve got a few days here until we (play a game). It’ll come back quick. Hopefully we’ll have a few days like this that we can wash away the eight...

I thought the team responded pretty well in the season opener, especially with the amount of specialty situations. We did a good job with our penalty kill tonight. Jeff made a couple of key saves...

No question we’ll have to play better. We are looking at this game as an opportunity. Not too many teams get the chance to play the No. 1 team in the state, so this is...

We knew it was going to be tough. But our feeling was if we could tire them out we were going to win the game. And that’s exactly what happened.

You can’t come into a game unemotional and I think we did that. That shows some growth because some of these experiences we’re going through are going to help us come district.

This is always a pivotal point. This is a telling point. … We took a good team out of their game tonight.

We put it to them late in the game, … It was huge.

It’s getting a lot better every game. It just keeps improving.

Taylor County is a good match-up for us, a team that we are not afraid of playing against. We lost a tough game to them when we made only 17 of 33 free throws, but...

You want to win every game. But I look at 17 runs and 23 hits, and plug McFarlane and Irving in there, and we’re right where we need to be.

Any time you win in overtime it is a big emotional boost. I think the kids know now they can play with anyone. The conditions were terrible, it rained the whole game. There was standing...

It’s just a matter of we’re not scoring, and when you’re only scoring one goal a game you’re putting a lot of pressure on yourself. It’s hard to win games like that. That’s just not...

He definitely sparked the team. That’s why (fighting) still needs to be part of the game.

He just did what was necessary to win the game. And having that weapon is valuable.

But that’s the thing with the what-if game– you really can never know the answer to the question. And maybe it’s better that way.

I can’t stress the importance of working hard enough, work on all aspects of your game. If you does that and you have the ability, you’ll come through.

said Simms. ”It’s a matter of time. The game is much faster in the TV booth. It’s so hard to get it done in a three-man booth. There’s less time to talk. With only two...

I’m not going to fight because I mean too much to our team, and I can’t afford to be suspended for a game or do something stupid to get me kicked out of a playoff...

We have to get out of this rut of letting teams hang around and get back in the game. It’s almost like we’re playing from behind when we have the lead. We just have to...

What doesn’t he do well? He took 90 percent of the shots in the game I saw against E.O. Smith. He breaks down any defensive player. You have to force him to work hard.

We were staying patient when the score was tied, we stuck to our game plan, we didn’t open ourselves up defensively.

She was starting to take over the game and I got a little more physical with her and shut her down.
