Terri Sullivan Quotations

We are prepared organizationally -- probably one of the best in the country. But in terms of responding to a disaster, we just don't have the infrastructure.

We believe we have been within a hit or two or an out or two of having a different record more favorable to the wins category. It's within our control to win games. We know you can't make excuses, but we have come close to beating some top teams. We feel we can match up against anybody, but we have to compete at the highest level to do so.

We need to be aggressive. It's nothing we haven't seen. We're not afraid of anyone's pitching, but we'll still have to put together some runs and play good defense.

She's considered one of the best in the country. We faced her before though and we're familiar with her. It's going to be a battle but we feel good about our offense.

Most people don't realize how bad off we are,

Minnesota, traditionally, is always a strong team. They always have solid pitching and defense and they play fundamental softball. Their record really doesn't reflect how good they are.

If we could sell it like Tupperware, we'd increase business exponentially. This really is a service that people need to try, touch and feel to get a clear understanding of what it does.

Because she sees a lot of pitches, she can communicate that with the rest of batters. She loves to play the game of softball and that has rubbed off on her teammates.

From where I was sitting, I did not see the district attorney flailing his arms. He did some pulling away, but I never saw him strike anybody in the courtroom. Now, I don't know what happened once he left the courtroom.

He'll definitely be entered for the Melbourne Cup.

He must have spent it shaking hands at the Back Porch.

I think it is a really good opportunity to show off Vancouver to the world. He's gone from having everything done for him and now there he is in Turin accepting the Olympic flag for Canada.

Jenna has had some spectacular at-bats against some really good pitchers. She's letting her natural ability take over. Jenna made an extra effort on her strength and conditioning through summer and the fall.

Playing in the Big Ten is a lot of fun. The games are just so fierce and so competitive that you hang onto every at-bat as a fan, as a player, and as a coach. We're looking forward to it. We feel our team has grown through ups and downs in a very challenging February and March schedule and that's going to position us to do some exciting things in the Big Ten.

Record wise we want to get back on track, so we know the opportunity is there to play games and do something with them. At this time of the year we're looking to play as many games as we can.

I think she just wasn't loose. But what was most important was that she adjusted her game plan and persevered. She wasn't quite at her best, but she still came up big for us.

I think coming back and earning some runs for Claire was key. If the pitching isn't immediately right on, we want our offense to pick it up. I think a team with great chemistry has each other's backs and I think we did that (Wednesday night).

We need an overall provincial obesity strategy to drive down the risk factors associated with being obese.

That win was very critical for us. We obviously want to be in it till the end in the conference race. You have to get some wins. That's not easy, especially in this conference, but that's why it's an honor to play in the Big Ten.

We really believe our Illinois softball team can beat anyone on any given day. We do know, however, that we have to be playing good softball to do that.

We like to go into every game expecting every team to play at its best. We don't pay any attention to records.

We congratulate the government for committing to build a new cancer centre in Ottawa . This is very good news for the people in this area who will be diagnosed with cancer in the years to come. It means that patients in Ottawa and the surrounding area will have better and more timely cancer care.

We are stakeholders in this process. As major as tourism is in Colorado, it is in our interest to work to ensure a healthy state program. A healthy tourism program will indirectly benefit Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak region.

We've had some really tough battles with teams where we're matching them in every way and then have given up a home run at the wrong time. We've made it a real focus among our pitching staff to limit the long ball as far as not having runners on. You're going to have some hit off you, but you don't want to allow runners on.

We just got more aggressive. They have a good pitching staff but early on in the first game we were looking at a lot of good pitches. When you do that you can't get your rhythm going and that's important with hitting.

We feel we adjust to pitchers we face very well. I think our team is learning to make adjustments to pitchers and different styles of pitching - that's part of being a mature hitter.

Even if we had the exact same geophysical situation here, our planning and response capabilities are far beyond what they have, ... Not to put a happy spin on it, but we've made tremendous progress.

Everybody in the state should be able to see Greg Ryberg on some channel. He said that he was in this to get his message out and he's a man of his word.

Every start before today he's either drawn the outside or second outside barrier. He was a lot worse off at the weights today against some of the horses he beat at Caulfield, but we were confident after he drew a good barrier.

At this point, our players are very well skilled and conditioned to hit. It's all frame of mind - stepping into the batters box with a lot of confidence. We felt really good about everyone in our lineup, but we reached a point where we went flat. We know we can't do that as a team. Someone has to ignite the offense and play relaxed.

At the time we made an announcement, we said we were sensitive to dealer concerns and that we would make modifications, ... The dealers were pretty direct in indicating they didn't want the manufacturer going into the retail business, owning dealerships 100 percent.

Could we do a better job? A more streamlined job? Maybe. I think that probably could be done. Do we agree with the specific recommendations or observations related to Ontario? Absolutely not.

Essentially, what is the price of a life-year gained that we're prepared to pay for and what is it for this drug?

Every year she has improved physically and as a softball player. This year, however, she has a noticeable desire about her that makes her a better leader, besides what she does offensively and defensively.

The team is really pleased. We knew coming into the weekend these wins were critical in the conference race. Every game at this time of year in the Big Ten is a dog fight. I believe the team is in the right frame of mind at the most important part of the season.

Really for the four years she's been here, we know that if she gets on base that could turn into a double because of her ability to steal. She scores a lot. We feel very confident if she works hard to get on base, she can bring us a run.

A few years ago, we launched a campaign that dovetailed with the latest Batman movie release. It was fun and cool, but it didn't drive real world relevance to our customers. The idea to use actual customer tapes came from our dealers and customers-they asked us to share their stories.

Southern Illinois is a great program with great coaches. They play solid softball. We just have to play our style of softball if we want to win.

Any team in the Big Ten will be a challenge for your defense and your pitching staff. Every team has an aggressive style of play. These games should be a lot of fun to watch.

Any facility that takes a sex offender is very conscious of the enforcement spotlight. They're not going to take any chances.

This is perhaps the best opportunity we've had in the past decade to finally secure a permanent funding mechanism for tourism.

The report shows that Ontario is on the right track. It also shows that sustained effort is essential if we're going to stay ahead of this slow-moving epidemic.

This is very much needed in the north end of Colorado Springs, particularly in a high-caliber, full-service hotel. I would expect that you will see a cluster of other hotels develop around it to benefit from the overflow when it fills up.

It is quite surprising that Bush turned out to be more politicizing than Clinton. The Bush campaign was built around how they were the governors, not the politicians.

It's more aggravating than anything. Jenna doesn't like to miss a beat.

Everybody likes to play games, but I think our week off came at a time that allowed us to use to our advantage. Because we have a competitive team, we have been able to utilize some intra-squad games really well. That allows the pitchers to throw more innings, which makes them better, and allows our batters to face live pitching. You don't miss a beat as far as the feel of the game that way.

It keeps us from getting close to them, and that's where we're most effective in saving babies ... if we can talk to them quietly.

The larger that number becomes, the more likely you're going to have someone come up with a problem.

Iowa is traditionally a stronghold in the Big Ten. I think there's no better time to play them. We felt good coming off the wins against Loyola. You can't pick and choose who you're going to play. You just have to win each inning.

I really think we've faced some of the nation's most elite pitchers this season. Anytime there's a challenge, there's an opportunity to do something good. You have to give full effort and good things usually happen.

In order to be successful this weekend, our pitchers need to throw strikes and make our opponents earn what they get. Offensively, we need to continue to produce with runners on base. As a team, we need to take the field in the frame of mind that you must win every inning and play with confidence.

Claire continues to get stronger as our season progresses. She is really throwing good pitches and a good mix of pitches. No matter what, to win two games in a day against the same team is a great accomplishment. She's our horse, the leader of our staff and we're really proud she's grown during the season.

I'd rather be in Los Angeles than any city in the world. In many regards, we're one of the best prepared in the nation in terms of experience and based on previous natural disasters and the like.
