We both understood it was time to fight and when he fights, I fight.

We've got to win some matches to do it but if we go on and win that fourth, this is probably one of the more satisfying ones, I would say. I think each one gets much more satisfying.

Today again was another battle for me. But winning the series was big, especially after losing the first game. That says a lot about this team, its demeanor and character. It's another series win for us and we hope to continue it on in Washington.

Having back-to-back shutouts is great. But the key is staying focused and sustaining a high level of play, and that's exactly what we'll need to do in order to battle Wisconsin.

He's a guy we sort of identified has the potential to eventually be a weekend guy or battle for some weekend innings. He makes a case for himself a little bit, but we're not making any changes right now. We're going to leave him where he is. But he's building a resume for himself.

He's a great post player. Everyone knows that. It's going to be a great battle tomorrow night. I have a lot of respect for him and hopefully I can give him everything I have.

Holiday 2000 will be the revenge of the brick and mortars. Battle lines on the Internet are being drawn between the offline brick and mortar stores and the Internet pure plays.

He's a very mature kid, throwing in the upper 80s and hitting 90, and he has that physical ability. He's also a tough competitor, he's always under control ... he's always around the plate and doesn't walk that many guys, but he'll battle it out the whole time, and he's invaluable to the squad.

He's going to battle just like he has every year. Nothing's been given to him ever. This organization has always been in a position where we're trying to win. He's never had the opportunity to play every day and he's had to fight for everything's he's gotten and this spring it's going to be the same way. He's going to be fighting for his at-bats and to make a team. He's a very talented guy and usually you don't have a guy that talented in a situation like that.

Hopefully we'll be all right. We've had a lot of close ball games this year. Our record is not all that good, but these guys do keep battling. They'll battle back.

Huge game. Two points could have made that gap a little bigger, but now they're right there with us. It's going to be a battle every game.

He could impact a game in so many ways that he didn't always need to score. We don't often have a prolific scorer in our system. I was even able to hold Kenny Battle down to 18 points a game.

He can only sign a letter-of-intent one time from my understanding. You can have the ability to sign a tender or a financial aid agreement. He elected to go elsewhere, but I don't know if that battle is over yet. We'll see.

Half the battle is getting every player to realize how they are going to benefit the team and what they should do all of the time. Nikki knows what she's supposed to do. She comes in for two minutes, five minutes, whatever it may be, and she's physical, crashes the boards, grabs as many as she can, sets the screens. She knows it.

This was a good test against a good Class A team and they're tough, so it was a good battle for us. We get lax and complacent sometimes but (Arthur Hill) fought the whole game.

I was a lot happier walking off the mound today than I have been in a lot of previous outings, ... It's been a constant battle to work on mechanics and different things. I liked how I threw the ball today. I'm not where I want to be, but it was much better than it has been.

Kevin just missed it. We had the tying runs on and Kevin at the plate. I'll take my chances with that most every game. Garcia won that battle and you have to tip your cap to him.

I wouldn?t say lucky. You?re going to have these types of games and it?s important that you come out of these on our side of the stick and that you battle through it. Everything is not going to be a 42-3 game. You?ve got to have the wherewithal to battle a little bit, and our guys did that.

I would say it was a pretty good battle over the years. I'd say it was a pretty good competition,

Karla has an established record in the community in not only participating, but also delivering, and so she will probably have a bigger battle with confusion over her opponent's name than over her opponent's record. Any reasonable person would be worried about the name confusion.

Joe is a senior, he's been our rock all year. Then we lost Jon ... the teeth didn't look good. But maybe this will be beneficial to our guys who had to battle through the adversity.

Joe didn't have very good stuff tonight, and that is not terribly unusual in a second start. After making a strong start last week, I thought he looked a little tired and you have to be able to battle through that.

John had one target only and that was to win. It looked like a straight battle between John and Valentino Rossi, but I think they pushed each other to the limit and both ended up watching the last 10 minutes of the session.

I think it'll be a three-team battle between us, Wayland and East Longmeadow.

I think it had to be a little frustrating for them. But you have to give us some credit, too. We did a good job on defense, especially down the stretch. It was a tough shooting night for both of us. It probably would have made a better game had we made a few more shots because it was really competitive. It just came down to who made the plays when they needed to make them. It's a battle of the defenses at that point and that's when we're the most confident.

It appears the battle will start tomorrow and investors are understandably taking a nervous stance. Investors are lightening up on long positions just as they did yesterday afternoon.

I think it's an uphill battle all the way.

I think its going to bother them for a while. But these guys are mentally tough and I expect them to battle back.

I think it's going to be a real battle and I can't wait for it. It's just put up or shut up right now.

I think it's going to be a battle for second place. I think we can get there. If we place in the top three, it will be the highest we've ever placed.

It could be a similar battle this year, but don't forget the line-out battle either, especially with Steve Borthwick in the side. Bath have a quality pack, it's one of their strengths and with Michael Foley on their coaching staff they're going to base a lot of their play around their forwards. After all it's been successful, why would they want to change it?

I thought we were going to get out of the first with just one run. Payton's home run was big. That really messed up the day for us. Then when we're down 7-0 that's really an uphill battle for us. We're struggling to score one or two runs.

I tip my hat to Columbus Grove, they were too good up front. They handled us on both sides of the ball, they won the battle of the trenches.

It is a big game and it would be a big win for us. The message is, we've got to give them the biggest battle we can give them.

I think (the Jays) will battle the Yankees for first in the AL East, in fact I know they will.

I think the people would unite behind their leadership - even those critical of the leadership now. They would be willing to live under all kinds of hardship to battle an invader.

I thought both teams did an outstanding job on the defensive court and really made it tough on both offenses. It was a battle all night long.

It is getting harder and harder to come up here. I am running out of arguments. These windmill projects will promote the county, yet we are fighting an uphill battle here. We need to get the projects moved out of the finance committee.

It is good that they got that win, and it's a nice comeback. We're an inexperienced team and we try to battle that with leadership. Our leadership is good this year. Because we are inexperienced the fundamentals sometimes get us, and that is still key. Once they break through that beginner's, stage we will see progress.

Lakeside hurt us a little with the option. But we preach getting turnovers. We won the turnover battle by three (5-2) and lost. We need to win those games.

I was coming in expecting just a huge battle and, you know, it's always nice when things go your way,

I thought we could battle our way back into it, but I think we pressed a little bit. We didn't care of the ball and we didn't box out and rebound very well. If you don't do that against them, you're going to get beat.

I thought we played a heck of a game up front and we talked about that. Some of these guys went to the freshman game. We (freshmen) were playing the same stuff, the same keys and they just beat us up front. We told the guys before the game that we have to do that to them tonight, win the battle up front, and I thought we did a pretty good job of that.

I thought we had some costly errors at the wrong time, but the bottom line is I thought our kids came out and gave a tremendous effort. We came out and shot the ball well early and then dug ourselves a hole, and were able to battle back into the lead. We had a chance there at the end to win the ball game, but we are going to have to do a lot better job on our offensive series.

I thought the way that game unfolded made that a very good win. We knew we'd have a battle in the second half. We battled and made a lot of big plays on both ends. When it got really tight, we raised our level of play.

I thought we came out and played well in the first quarter. Then we lost the battle of field position.

I thought we came of age a little bit. This was what we have to do to build this team?s character. You have to have success in games like that, where you roll your sleeves up, where you battle till the end.

I think we're ready to play them when the puck drops, and we're expecting a battle for 60 minutes. When we do play 60 minutes, we're a tough team to beat.

I think what this loss does is force us to re-establish our goals. Thoughts of winning the conference are now over, in my mind. For us now, we have a real battle for second place.

I think that each case has to be decided on its merits, and the merits of this application have to have been outstanding to weather all the storms that have been presented. It's been a long and expensive battle, and I doubt that anyone would be encouraged to want to take on such a battle unless they were confident that they too had as excellent a plan as this one.

I think both teams are pretty evenly matched in the sense of them being able to slow down the game, and for us, we want to speed it up and get into the open court. It's just a battle of whose will and whose makeup will be for 48 minutes.

I think all three of them are going to be in a battle going into fall camp. The battle might be won in the weight room, it might be won in the classroom, but I think we're getting closer.
