Barely Quotations | Page 2

He just didn't make enough pitches today. He was all around the zone but he just missed. He was barely missing, but when you get behind these guys, those types of hitters, that's what happens.

Greer's having so much success in practice, we have to put a coach on him for his own good and the good of his teammates. I squeaked out a 2-0 win over him in practice the other day and I was so tired I could barely drive home.

Half the U.S. population owns barely 2 percent of its wealth, putting the United States near Rwanda and Uganda and below such nations as pre-Arab Spring Tunisia and Egypt when measured by degrees of income inequality.

Kim said they barely escaped by the grace of God.

Just then, a car was racing down the road. They barely stopped before they hit the U-Haul. God was watching over us.

Just then, a car was racing down the road, ... They barely stopped before they hit the U-Haul. God was watching over us.

I think in the last three or four games they have barely lost or they've been in games they should have won in the end. If this game would have slipped away, this is just another one that they almost (won) and they found a way to win.

It barely took any time at all (for him to fit in). We knew he would be the exclamation point on all the players we have.

It barely passed, and it shows the pilots are not in favor of giving the company anything more. That's the smallest margin that anything has ever been passed by Delta pilots.

It barely opened anywhere! They didn't put any money behind it at all.

It barely got me. It didn't do anything. It was funny.

It barely broke the skin. He just took a little bit of hair off.

It contains a barely veiled threat of collective punishment. Making such a threat is a violation of the Geneva conventions and other laws of war.

It didn't look good. He could barely walk and he told me the brace really bothered him. You never knew if he was going to wear that brace all the time or if he was going to get out of it. He was killing the ball at the plate, but he could hardly get to first base.

It hit right on the edge of the dirt and the edge of my foot, ... I didn't hear anything. It was a really marginal ball off my foot. It barely nicked my foot...and took a funny bounce. I reacted and took off running. None of the umps really had a good look at it. I would have liked to hear foul ball from the get-go and get another shot with the bases loaded. I'll sacrifice that at-bat to help us break out that inning though.

I thought to myself at least a couple of times after a hit, 'Boy, that's going to leave a mark. I'm going to pay for that some day down the road.' We didn't talk about spinal compression. I'm sure I lost at least 2 inches in height in my career. I'm barely hanging onto 6-2 now.

I think at some point and time all cemetery districts are going to have a problem, because they all have a finite amount of land. All of them are fighting for the almighty dollar because they are just barely making it. They are either going to have to buy land or beg for it, because they'll have nowhere to bury people. Somebody - and I suspect it will be the state legislature - will have to address the issue.

I think this year more than ever has proven there are teams that might not get in or just barely get in that can win games. In the past, years ago, I think there were always teams that maybe wanted to get in, but you really knew they couldn't win any games in the tournament if they got in.

Lately, I barely drink anything until about 10 minutes before we play. Then I literally drink as much as I can.

I was a little taken aback by it. I could barely move. I didn't expect it at all. I'm very disappointed because I know how well I'm playing. To have to deal with that again, I've already dealt with it long enough, I don't want to anymore.

I think there's a natural argument between the tongue and the teeth. I barely ever get there without biting.

Kyle Busch drove his heart out. We really wanted to get Kyle the youngest win on record and we just barely got it, so we feel good.

Last year he barely snuck into district. Since then he put the work in. He's a gritty, hard-nosed kid who has really learned to wrestle. He has the confidence now.

Last time I recall, we beat Ohio State, and we barely lost to Michigan. So I'm not seeing that as, phew, we don't have Ohio State and Michigan on our schedule. That's just how it turned out. It's still the Big Ten.

Our hospital is just barely squeaking by. We're not sure that's a good business plan for this valley. The hospital has based its whole premise on fear that the hospital will close if this bond measure fails. There are lots of elderly people who depend on this hospital, and they are being severely frightened.

Our group has so much energy. We barely have to tell them to smile or cheer louder.

Palestinians will point across the road to an Israeli settlement where they see a swimming pool being filled and they point to their own community where there's barely any water at all -- and they'll express a great deal of anger about it.

Pa had made only two poor wheat crops since the grasshoppers came; he had barely been able to keep out of debt, and now there was the doctor's bill.

Our society, where we are right now, our minds are junkyards. We watch TV and sit on the computer all day and barely have an original thought.

Our culture defines us as an independent nation. So it's troubling that it is barely on this government's radar.

RIM barely scratches the surface. We don't need any of their customers.

Really, this has been a tough season. We've had some chemistry issues. We've had to practice with machinery going on, so that we could barely hear each other. There's just been a lot of adversity, some of it self-made, but we came together.

Relative to last year, I'm very healthy, ... I'm happy about that. Obviously I just came off of two surgeries, and I'm barely five, six months off of shoulder surgery. But I've put in a lot of time and a lot of work to be playing now at the level I'm at.

Some of the kids are doing this year what somebody like Ian (Tracy) was doing last year. He's on the 'A' relay now and he was barely on a relay last year.

My mom is the rock of our family. She keeps everyone together, everyone going straight forward. She's an unbelievable woman, raising four kids, moving to a different country (while) barely speaking English, she's a tremendous person. Both of my parents are my real-life idols.

Look around and a lot of guys have barely had 200 games in the NHL. They haven't been around that long. As a defenseman you don't really understand the game until you're up around 300.

My mother took refuge in her spirituality while my poor father was barely able to bring home enough money to keep food on the table.

I still see us as underdogs. Seattle's been one of the top teams in the league, throughout the entire year. We're a No. 6 seed and barely made the playoffs. We've got a tough challenge ahead.

I think I just barely scratched the surface last year. I think people saw just a little bit of what I can do. Those are definitely not the kind of numbers I hope to put up this year. I'll be putting up bigger and better numbers. Obviously, if that's happening, then this team will be winning games and hopefully going to the playoffs.

I think he's Peter Pan. It's like he's barely touching the ice ... Jeff has this light, effortless kind of spring and agility that is just incredible.

I think it would be barely satisfactory from the strong message I got from (Vilsack), but we're trying to come up with something that a majority of the board could agree on,

I thought his first-half was poor, naturally, because he barely got a touch. But I was very pleased with his second-half - he showed real leadership.

Just able barely to mount a horse and ride about a little in the spring of 1866, my life was threatened daily, and I was forced to go heavily armed. The whole country was then full of militia, robbing, plundering and killing.

Just imagine a staircase of justice and this is just barely the first step because there's more to come.

I'm so happy I can barely stand myself.

I'm so close to her that I feel that I don't have to act any more. It seems like I'm barely doing anything sometimes. She turned into someone that a lot of people can identify with. She's a great role model.

I might slip every once in a while, but you will not see me dog-cussing a player out. I'm cautious. I barely even talk to the kids after the game. It's tough, and I hate to see what happened to (Dustin) because he's so young.

Melissa knew she didn't play real well (in the first half). She took that one shot and it barely touched the bottom of the basket. I just told her she had been playing the game for a long time and to keep doing what she does best. She did that in the second half.

That's what I'm thinking about. I had no chance where I was playing him. I couldn't get to the fence in time. But if I had, I could have robbed him. The ball hit the top of the fence. I heard it hit; it barely made it. I easily would have caught it if I had gotten there.

I was barely in my teens, living in Greece where my dad, an officer in the U.S. Navy, was stationed. He took me and my four brothers and sisters to this ancient theater at the foot of the Parthenon, and we saw this amazing Greek drama. He tried to make it a learning experience.

I was barely a .500 pitcher before my dad died and I got married and had a baby... my wife and baby brought me down to earth.

My body has held up like I can barely believe,

Mike and I barely talked during the race,

You know, I like playing music and playing guitar, and I like to draw, so I thought I would end up just probably barely making a living, or probably having to have some other job, but being involved in one of those things that I really like to do. But that didn't work out like that.

You can barely see 15 meters (yards) ahead. I have never seen anything like this before,

While we transferred sovereignty today, we need to be honest with the American people that this struggle is far from over, ... Security in Iraq is worse now than it was right after the fall of Baghdad and may deteriorate further. The Iraqi security forces cannot handle the challenge alone, reconstruction has barely started, and massive unemployment has left many frustrated and even desperate.

Who could imagine the journey these seniors have taken us on? I can barely find the words to describe them.

We were under the gun. Upper Perk is an unbelievably talented team. They have barely any weaknesses. We knew it was an uphill battle and I liked how our kids battled. It was a great experience for us.

We played great in the second half. When we play against good competition we barely have one goal. We've got to put things together offensively. We've got good players and are fast. We've got to find a way to finish.

You always want your team mentally right for an upcoming game. UNA helped us by whipping Delta. I'd be a little bit more worried had they just barely won. But that got our attention. They know they just can't show up and play.

We encouraged him to try six feet and he barely missed it.

We played pretty well in spurts. It was a game of spurts, and I guess our last spurt was just barely good enough to win.

We've had Boy Scout projects to clean up that bike lane many times. The street is barely wide enough for cars.

We were half a stride away today. Jose made a great play, but the guy just barely was safe.

You know, Coach Martz and that system over there, they barely acknowledge the other team,

Unlike a strike situation, where hardship develops over time, many of our members barely escaped Katrina's destruction with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

We have a war raging in Iraq, we have a Gulf Coast that needs to be rebuilt, we have an economy barely hanging on. The last thing America wants is this Republican-controlled Congress spending time writing discrimination into the Constitution.

We haven't increased the number of teams in a long time and the quality has increased so much, I would have thought it would have been expanded a long time ago. This year more than ever there were teams that barely got in or didn't get in that can win games.

We haven't had a burst. We have barely had a leak in the bubble. And I think that you'll see come spring, next quarter, that the hole in the bubble is going to be sealed up.

We were just poking around and we're barely making wages.

We're not sure if the program will be revised or scratched. The review is barely under way and may take several more weeks.

When he came across this lady, she was unable to speak and she was sitting in the snow just looking at him. He called to her, and she was just barely able to move her lips.

When I gave up law to go into real estate, my mother said, 'How can you give up the law?' But she lived long enough to see the Bulls win all six championships. She would wear all six pendants at the same time. She could barely stand up.

We don't have a lot of quantity, but a lot of quality. Other teams have 18 guys, but they barely qualified six of them. We have 10 guys and all of us are good enough to final in all of our events.

The only reason baseball's numerical touchstones have any significance is that most players - even the game's greats - peter out just barely before they reach them.

We're down to a skeleton crew. There's barely any business. People have a lot of other things on their mind now.

Wal-Mart was rightly cautious with its outlook. Their first-quarter sales barely met the lower end of their 2 to 4 percent guidance.

To be a good actor . . . it is necessary to have a firmly tempered soul, to be surprised at nothing, to resume each minute the laborious task that has barely just been finished.

We worked hard on this record, not that we don't on all of them. This one has fire in it. It takes us from those all-too-familiar beer joints that we cut our teeth in to the front row of church. I feel like we're barely scratching the surface with the first single 'Play Something Country,' because there's so much more on this record.

The deal at this level is barely financially advantageous (to Lloyds). It makes it difficult for them to come out with a higher offer.

The deal at this level is barely financially advantageous (to Lloyds), ... It makes it difficult for them to come out with a higher offer.

We're just barely on the outside looking in. It's a little bit of pressure, but I'm certain our Ginn Clubs & Resorts Chevy will be top-notch. Not only am I confident we'll make this weekend's race, I'm optimistic we can bring home a great finish.

There a lot of people I know struggling with that, just barely making it. Then having almost $3 a gallon for gas, it's just outrageous.

We would only play about eight or nine games a year. We barely had enough players to field a team.

There has been a major realization that gas supplies in North America are less available than many thought just five years ago. Drill-rig counts have gone up, but gas production barely keeps pace.

We barely won the last two games (at home against Maryland Eastern Shore and Howard), so we are definitely not satisfied. Everyone in the locker room feels that we should be winning by larger margins.

We barely have time to react in this world, let alone rehearse, and I don't think that I'm better than you but I don't think that I'm worse. Women learn to be women, and men learn to be men, and I don't blame it all on you, but I don't want to be you

We barely had time to get in there. There was an old roaring sound all the time.

The players never think they project enough. In a hall that seats 3,300 people, it's a very scary thing to play so quietly that you can barely hear yourself.

When you are playing a team that barely presses you offensively, you get lulled. Girls in the back tend to over-commit a bit to get into the action on the other end.

When Microsoft came out with IE there was barely anything else available and IE was good enough for newcomers.

Financial markets showed barely any reaction to the move.

Ex-transport is only barely up, and the decline last month was only marginally revised, so it's a bit disappointing, because it marks essentially the fourth month with no orders growth at all.

Tony Blair barely escaped this year, and now George W. Bush, if elections were to be held today, would be in a serious challenge as well.

The reason that he got a sitting with Washington was that his father was Charles Wilson Peale, a very prominent American artist, a friend of the revolution. On the morning of the sitting, he (Rembrandt) was so frightened about confronting the great man, that he said he could barely mix his colors. And so his father had to come along to hold his hand, so to speak.

The recent cold snap seems more like a last hurrah for Old Man Winter, and with barely a few weeks left in the winter season, inventories for natural gas remain in near record territory. This will ensure that any price gains for natural gas in the aftermath of today's report will be limited.

This was a breakthrough weekend for Zach, winning his first conference championship. We expect bigger and better things from him in the future. He just missed qualifying for the national meet, and Albert (Greene) just barely missed also.

This type of bankruptcy is for the person who is barely making it, who can barely pay their rent or mortgage and food and has no extra money to pay debts. It relieves them of the debt and removes the creditors' rights to sue the debtor.

What's different about this club, when you have this many setbacks, it's usually part of why you don't win or you barely squeeze by in the last week of the season with a good but not great record. To have this kind of run and play this quality of baseball for this long is why this club deserves a very different kind of credit.
