Caliber Quotations | Page 4

Working with those caliber of clients forced us to go the extra step.

I grew up watching Marlon Brando, Christopher Walken, Robert de Niro, and Al Pacino and even Robert Duvall and was impressed by their caliber of work.

If we ever had a disaster like that in New Jersey, we know they'd be sending us help also, ... It's just outstanding to see officers of this caliber willing to leave their families to go help people they don't even know.

If we had played some and then lost her, I think it might have been easier. We've just got to see what we've got and manage it from there. Without that caliber of player, we're grasping to find people to fill the rolls and to deal with the challenges other teams throw at us.

We forced them into a bad shot because we took them out of their rhythm they developed in the final four minutes. Redondo made a great comeback -- they showed the caliber of their team.

We're happy, very happy. We were very happy that he was able to close, that's his style. Fernando has been on him his previous three or four races, and he always comes running late. So, we were happy that he showed that same run today again, especially against this caliber of horse. It looks like he will like a mile and a quarter and we are sure looking forward to the opportunity.

We're happy to keep someone of Tom's caliber in Philadelphia. Tom has done an excellent job and it was important for this organization to have him continue in this general manager role for the foreseeable future.

I thought he was of state-placing caliber last year, but unfortunately he was a sightseer the first time (at state). Most kids are. This year, with the fact he's already gone there, we're hoping he'll go there with a new attitude and hopefully push for a winning position. I'd like to see him win the whole thing.

When you face a pitcher the caliber of Chris Carpenter, you only get one opportunity like that.

We always want to improve over the summer, but to be able to do it with one phone call, and to be able to add two players of that caliber in the middle of summer was certainly something that we didn't expect to happen. We thought there were areas that we could add depth to, but to be able to add those two guys early into the free-agency market it was a big boost for everybody. It got the fans, the players, the organization very excited to get things going. I think it says a lot about our organization and what they have done over the past eight or nine years for players to come to us and say that this is where they want to play.
