Our defensive intensity wasn’t there like it’s been the last three games.

April’s had three good games in a row. She did a good job of getting position and sealing and it paid off.

This was one of those games where are games within games. We’ll make a run, then they’ll make a run. We say there are five or six big shifts in every game; theirs just happened...

All these games matter and we want to win all of them.

We’re happy because we didn’t feel we played our best over the last two games. We had a big, emotional win over Merced, but then we felt like we took a couple of steps backwards....

It was kind of hard. I’ve been in a few playoff games before, so I’m use to the crowd yelling and stuff. That’s playoff basketball.

I think we got fooled the first three games by the results and we really didn’t play as well as we should have.

Enough is enough! We played too many close games to lose any more.

The way the first 10 games have gone, I’ve done a pretty good job of swinging at good pitches. That shows in the lack of strikeouts. Anytime you swing as hard as I do, you’re...

The party that would play games with out stability and progress does not deserve to govern Spain,

If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we’d all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.

I thought it was an outstanding comeback, … I don’t think we’ve ever been down two games to nothing and came back and won it. The team never gave up and believed they could win,...

In previous games we’ve kind of backed down and that led to our slump. Tonight we never gave up.

We have meetings like that after games in Japan. We have many of them sometimes.

It may be that all games are silly. But then, so are humans.

Maybe I could use a little metal on the inside, I thought. If I’d kept my heart better armored, where would I be now?Easy—I’d be at home, medicating myself into a monotone. Drowning my sorrows...

In both of those games, we showed improvement over the first time. We’ve been playing better as a team, hitting the open man and rebounding.

We’ve had injuries, but we’re the healthiest we’ve been since early December. We lost a lot of games by a few points that we still could have won, even though, in most of them, we...

The last-place thing doesn’t excite me. The thing that excites me is that we’ve won some games and gotten back on track.

James is good when his serve is on, … I might have to make some adjustments for the first few games. I know James will come up with some big serves.

I’m really proud of this team and what we’ve accomplished. Securing a Big 12 championship with games yet to be played is a pretty special accomplishment and we’re not taking it for granted for one...

We can’t use that excuse. After 18 games, you’ve got to take a little bit of ownership of what’s going on on the floor. We know we’re going to see intense pressure on the perimeter...

I’m 33, not 25, … I don’t want to talk about free agency. I’m focusing on the games this week, but I know it’s an opportunity to do something. But everything being equal, I want...

We had the mercy rule in effect for nine-inning games the whole series. Five games in four days, if either team’s up by 10, why waste pitching for the next couple innings.

With him in the bullpen, the stability was really, really good. Even the games Schill had a tough time, we didn’t have to use [Mike] Timlin so often at a time when Foulke went down....

Evil originates not in the absence of guilt; but in our effort to escape it.

You know your testimony is strong when your roots are so deep that other people’s storms will never knock you over.

Hypocrisy/hi pakrise/ noun1. The moment you tell someone it is not important to be right, in order to look right to everyone else.

We’re certainly playing better. Whether that’s just having gotten some games under our belt and guys feeling more settled or not, I really don’t know. I know we’ve pitched better, and certainly when you pitch...

Personally, I really don’t try to look back on games too much. That’s the worst thing to do, to get caught up in the way things went last game. I mean, for one, you can’t...

The idea is to experiment with it in games where we’re not being scouted by other playoff teams. We want to see what’s going to work, because we’ve been using the same scheme all season....

I don’t even know if you can call them upsets. When I watched those games you think maybe it was just bad seeding. There’s a lot of good players out there.

We feel we have an advantage in close games. We won five or six other ones like that this year. The kids don’t panic, and we hung in there in this game.

The two games with Vermont this weekend are huge games.

In both games, we were up with less than ten minutes left. We weren’t playing up to our potential.

When you do it three out of four games, you really believe it,

We’ve got to do what we need to do to win games.

We’re trying to get as much experience as possible. A lot of teams have played 15 or 16 games already. We’ve played four. We’re still moving people around and trying to find the right mix.

I’ve come to the point where I never feel the need to stop and evaluate whether or not I am happy. I’m just ‘being’, and without question, by default, it works.

It was another one of those games where it just didn’t feel like we had a real convincing lead. They were a very scrappy team. They didn’t have the greatest shooters or the greatest post...

Fortunately we’re six games up going into tonight, and we have a little bit of a cushion. It’s not comfortable by any means, but we like our chances and we’re able to do this.

I miss video games where the jump-kick was the trickiest combo to master.

All other trades are contained in that of war.Is that why war endures?No. It endures because young men love it and old men love it in them. Those that fought, those that did not.That’s your...

In our last couple of games, we’ve just been a bit sloppier than what our game is and we’ve given up way too many goals. We’ve got to get back to doing what we do...

The worst thing a kid can say about homework is that it is too hard. The worst thing a kid can say about a game is it’s too easy.

It’s tough to win four games in the other team’s building. Hat’s off to them, they’re a very classy team. They played very well.

Do kids ever tire of Christmas? The excitement of this job is never dull because in all the years and thousands of games I’ve called, I’ve never done the same one twice.

These were the Games of the heart, of warmth and of a smile.

It’s always exciting to pitch in games like this,

They’re a team that is looking to win some games. They’ve got to be hungry (in their situation).
