Afternoon Quotations | Page 2

Nice Sunday afternoon softball game, where everybody got to play.

On Sunday (Jan. 22) afternoon we received reports from voters saying they got a negative voice message. The calls solely talked about Tony, using intense language - it was a negative personal attack.

I didn't really play all that well. I missed a lot of greens but I chipped and putted very well and holed a lot of good putts for pars. The greens were a bit more tricky this afternoon with all the traffic. I felt I could have shot a good round. I was three under through six and then nothing happens,

If breaching were recommended at the end (of the public comment process associated with the Lower Snake River EIS), there would still have to be money appropriated to do it and it's a long process. You just don't go down there on a Sunday afternoon and knock these dams down,

I didn't have a clock, or a watch, or anything that told me what time it was. And there was no TV. Just me and the cell. The guards came by and told me what happened. I thought they were exaggerating. I got out in the afternoon and saw it on TV, the planes hitting the towers. I couldn't believe it could happen in this country.

Friday afternoon is usually not the best time to get people's attention.

From what I've been told, it appears the child was lying down on the seat so she couldn't be seen. Normally, a driver would check over a vehicle when returning it to the depot but because this vehicle was being used on the same route in the afternoon it was not checked.

He has handled this thing this afternoon well and I think he will handle it (Wednesday). You can't expect him not to have some feelings about this. I believe he will approach things the way he has for seven years.

He had most of those lads throwing up he was working them so hard, ...

He is going to run as the ground is yielding, soft in places, and it has been raining there this afternoon - it wasn't expected but it has arrived.

There is a feeling in the market that the gold price will test the seventeen-and-a-half year high of $475.90 this afternoon and if successful then we'd probably aim for or hit the $480 level sometime next week. If the market fails to breach $475.90 today then I'd say we'll keep trying next week.

What we had this morning was hope. By this afternoon hype, and now this evening it's a debacle.

He's doing well. Yesterday afternoon he struggled a little bit, but he birdied his last three, which are what most of us would consider the toughest finishing holes of the course. Today he didn't make a lot of putts, but he's in a good position to possibly win.

When they go home, many parents only see their family when they're sleeping. Our workday is morning, afternoon and night. We want to shorten the lunch to make time and space for the family.

I talked to (agent) Gary Greenstin Sunday afternoon and he said they need another week - they need more time to make their final decision,

I think it shows in PKV, with myself and my teammate Cristiano da Matta on the second row, it shows a lot of hard work has paid off, at least for qualifying. I do know also we need to do a lot of work for our race setups tonight. We weren't all that happy in today's afternoon session. But, you know, all credit to the guys in the shop, they did a great job.

I thought we played a lot better in the afternoon match against Bradley. We came out with a lot of focus and did what we needed to get the job done. When you play this much tennis in one day, it can be tiring, but I think it is good for our players and their games.

I save everything up until Sunday night because if I start sending emails on Saturday afternoon, then people have to start responding to me on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.

It felt like at least 12 innings. Really, it felt like we put an awful lot into one afternoon at the park.

I think our rebounding effort against Clemson is going to help us. This is what we're going to have to put together up there. We don't have anything to lose.

I tease her all the time because she'll need to take an afternoon off here and there to sing at someone's funeral. I told her when I die, she better sing at mine. She's really good - she'll move you to tears.

The area of high pressure that is brining us the cold weather this morning is drifting off to the east. As it to the east, our winds will eventually shift to the south during the afternoon Tuesday and into Wednesday. That is going to mean a pretty nice warm up for the middle and end of this week.

That was the theme this morning, this afternoon and before the game: second place is on the line here. (Tuesday) we had an opportunity to catch some points on Gwinnett because they lost. So we got our points tonight. We'll take it.

I was pretty happy with the car in race trim. We're not quite sure about the qualifying set-up because our only mock-run was in the middle of the day in the heat.

We're a little off at the start of a run, but the car did not fall off as bad and we picked-up a few tenths on the field.

I was really driving the ball as hard as I could, and I think it fatigued (my quad). Then, in the afternoon practice, I hit a ball and felt something. I thought I could play through it.

Michael's performance was pretty good given his position early in the running order. We are therefore reasonably happy with his performance. Unfortunately, we had some problems with Rubens' car, which was not as good in the afternoon as it had been in the morning. Now we will have to investigate to see why that happened and hope we can have a good race. It's a shame, as Rubens could have been in a much stronger qualifying position.

We played better in the afternoon game. We scored all six in the first two innings, and we didn't have many base-runners after that so we will work on that.

We played at a really high level the night before and came out this afternoon flat and unfocused. We didn't hit the ball at the plate, and they did.

We were investigating that yesterday afternoon when a 19-year-old white female came in - she was one of the witnesses - and basically said our suspect, Michael Evans, shot (Price) and wiped the gun clean. The witness came forward on her own after being threatened by the suspect.

We are able to make this commitment because we have confidence in our betting lines - we're not waiting to see how lines open, we're setting the markets. Everybody bets, but the more time we can give our players to consider their positions the better. Posting our betting lines the afternoon before next day's game provides our customers with a real edge. And our in-game betting takes the action to a whole other level, although it can be tough to type while jumping up and down screaming for your team!

We are only praying and hoping that the rescuers will find more survivors. One more person died while undergoing a treatment at the hospital this afternoon bringing the death toll so far to 14.

We had a pretty good day. It was humid in the morning, which helped, but the winds kicked up quite a bit in the afternoon and we had a pretty active fire.

We play an afternoon game with zero preparation and find a way to win the game. I was proud of our team that day. A lot of teams under those circumstances would have had several reasons to fold up their tent. They didn't do it.
