Boston Quotations | Page 3

He had just gotten word that he had one. He was going to be working at one of the Boston Market chains over in Greenbrier. The hours worked out good so he could still work full-time with me and keep his benefits.

He got me last time when we were in Boston on a pretty good shot so it was my turn today.

He'll be very good for the Atlanta Braves. He didn't quite jell in that Boston situation, but he can play anywhere. So many people have exaggerated that year.

We took the ideas and invited the curators up to BC, each of them separately, to present their ideas to a group of faculty, ... felt, that at Boston College, it added to so many courses.

We suspect the new Boston Scientific offer was developed with input from the Guidant board, so it's likely that the Guidant board will declare it superior to J&J's latest offer.

What we get is diversification for Boston Scientific and growth, and we get that through CRM. Clearly, CRM is the key asset here.

Here is why we're going to keep going and going and going and going and going, just like the Energizer bunny, ... We're going to pick up some delegates tonight, and this is all about who gets the most delegates in Boston in July. And it's going to be us.

Having played Boston College twice last year, we have a pretty good idea what to expect.

He's a Boston kid and well-respected in the Boston area and he was a good player in this league.

Going into playing the top three teams, we need to really make sure we put our best foot forward and take advantage of the strengths we have as a team. We are going to face a lot more athleticism in Hartford and then again in the rivalry with Boston University.

He's been pretty incredible for the last couple of months. We just need to score him some runs. He's been awesome. Not just recently, but he's been around for a very long time. He's what Boston is all about.

He's been asking to go on loan. I owed it to him, given his service to Boston and myself, to grant his request.

There aren't a lot of cover bands that do Boston material or do it well, and the reason for that is that they are hard to play. So we put a lot of work into it. The musicians that I've managed to surround myself with after all of these years are individuals who really excel at what they do.

Under normal circumstances, this would present a challenge for Boston Scientific because they're already outside their normal comfort zone. But now you're doing something unusual: You're paying a premium for something that's broken.

Underneath the covers I believe that Abbott wants to be a device player and for the first time they are making a real legitimate stand to become one. If Boston doesn't get Guidant, at this valuation, I think Abbott ultimately buys Boston.

We looked at London and Boston and New York.

He spent the night at my house one night in high school. My dad was driving home in a bad snowstorm, and we talked about how funny it would be (to both go to Boston College). It was, 'You bring the TV; I'll bring the microwave.' Something like that. Two days later, I committed.

He just said he's having fun just playing ball. He likes New York City and he's just having a good time. He says he misses Boston a little bit. He misses the fans.

has attempted to embrace the fans more than ever. Maybe it's the first time we've really worked so hard at it. All across the league I am seeing the same thing. Boston is a hockey town. That we know.

Guidant stock is really going to be driven solely by the perception of whether the news is bad enough not to buy it. You've got people getting worried that Boston may get cold feet. That's what the conversation is going to be about.

Guidant should be very appreciative of the fact that Boston Scientific has help raise shareholder value (for them).

Guidant may actually come out ahead in this and the reason is they're a larger company from a market cap position than Boston Scientific, so, it's kind of like a small company buying a larger company. At the end of the day, they may be the dominant company in this merger.

Guidant and Boston Scientific share an entrepreneurial spirit, highly talented employees, strong customer relationships and an ability to pioneer lifesaving therapies for patients around the world.

Grub Street Writers is the reason I've stayed in Boston. I started teaching for Grub back in 1997, when founder Eve Bridburg, a Boston University M.A. alumna, as I am, kindly gave me my first job out of grad school.

Knowing that we were two points from being in Boston (is tough).

I would try to settle all the outstanding liability claims at this point in time, so that it doesn't take Boston Scientific off course in integrating Guidant.

I talked to her this weekend in Boston and she was so excited about the opportunity.

I think investors do take insider buying as a good sign, and I think they especially wanted Boston Scientific to do it.

It caught me by surprise. I kind of heard stories that him and Boston had agreed on a contract and what not, and I hear today that he declined and he might just take some time off. Theo is a very bright guy. I'll always wish him the best. He was always honest with me and was great for the Red Sox.

I take chances. I don't limit myself. I don't think anybody who listens to Boston would have predicted hearing a female rapper on the beginning of the song 'Sail Away.' But that's what fit.

I think the guys were just determined to win. I think this team was determined to get to Boston and compete for the championship.

I think the first year in Boston can leave you feeling like you need to take some time off and you need to get away a little bit. He was a little bit taken back by how passionate the fan base was here. You expect a guy that's played in New York to make a seamless transition to Boston. But it was tough on him. He couldn't go out. I think he used the word 'hermit.' We know David doesn't like being a hermit. I think he'll need to go to his ranch and get away and think about that, how to deal with the hermit lifestyle.

I thought our effort on Wednesday night was excellent. We played another well executed game in both skill and game plan. The energy level was pretty high, and the team play was strong. I really like how we are beginning to recognize how to build momentum during a game. Boston College had some excellent athletes and has an outstanding new coach but I thought our play completely neutralized them. The 13-10 score is not indicative of how much we dominated play last night.

I think Boston Scientific and ANSI have the better technology now, especially with the rechargeable.

I think Boston College is one of the top four teams in the conference. They're a very tough team and very difficult to play against.

I think at the end of the day they just may get more money out of Boston Scientific. They've been very clear with Boston Scientific about what they have to do to complete that transaction.

I think it's what a lot of people expected at the beginning of the season, us and Boston back in the playoffs.

It gets here faster sometimes from Boston by air, than it does trucked in from Eureka or Crescent City,

I think this should show the fans that I've got my own connection in Glens Falls now, and I love the city. I have a life in Boston (where he lives) and a job in Connecticut, so if I didn't really want to make this work, I wouldn't go through all this.

I think we are doing the prescription medicine equivalent of the Boston Tea Party.

I watched Gretzky, I watched Lemieux. Maybe it's the time when you're playing, but for a kid coming into the league, you play the Boston Bruins and you just watched Bobby Orr.

I was a little shocked and a little excited, a little bit of everything. This is where I want to be, this is why I signed with them. I want to play in Boston and I'm just thrilled right now.

I will be setting up a rough training schedule for myself that will include long bike rides, some hill training, and other exercise including my simultaneous Boston Marathon training . . . I will be embarking on an 80-plus mile ride to Connecticut later on this semester. I will add in a ride or two to Massachusetts or southern Rhode Island. I will also be biking in various kinds of weather to get used to all kinds of situations.

I think they dominated us for two years and we've been very fortunate at the end of the game to win. If you look at all the stats, we haven't matched up very well in either game and Boston College has done some really good things against us. I think more than anything else, we just hung around there until the fourth quarter.

J&J made a bid that was the minimum bid to be considered in the game. Now Boston is testing whether they need to go higher. I think they will if they need to, but if $68 is J&J's price, why pay more now?

J&J is a lot more diversified as a company than Boston Scientific, and they have a bigger revenue base spread over a wider area.

Last night two Boston College students who were visiting students from Loyola University in New Orleans were stabbed on Chestnut Hill Avenue about 1:30 in the morning.

Our focus and our only focus is on Boston College. We have to do battle one game at a time before we can do any celebrating.

Our goal is to get to see them. We're like the Detroit Pistons when they had to beat the Boston Celtics. Our championship would be to beat them.

Over 95 percent of the students go on to college, which have included Yale, Boston College, Duke, and Cornell.

Our Boston customers continue to ask for additional destinations that are attractive for summer travel and both Quebec City and Charleston are frequently on the top of their list. From the gourmet restaurants and Montmorency River in Quebec City to the golf excursions and quaint inns of Charleston, the options for a family getaway are endless.

Playing in the GBI League my sophomore year against teams like Arlington, Medford, Melrose, Newton and those teams, and being able to compete with them was a lot of fun. We played a lot of games in the Boston Garden my junior and senior year, which was also nice. I remember watching Stoneham go to the New England Finals in 1952 and play at the Boston Garden when they lost to West Springfield, and from that point on I just couldn't want to put on the Stoneham High uniform.

(Picking up wins) would be great for us in the big picture. A win we could steal would put us in great shape because we have Boston College coming in the next weekend and if we could get two or three there then we?re sitting in good shape. We just gotta get tough. We gotta compete.

Recognition engines aren't going to be able to discern echoes. If you were calling an airline, and said 'Boston,' the phone couldn't send the signal three times. The server would hear 'Boston Boston Boston,' and think it's a new word every time.

Our offer was to lease space, on a short-term basis for five years, for ball fields. It's a great site. Open space that was accessible. It's hard to find property like that, but Boston didn't sign on to any agreement so the idea didn't move forward.

Our New England customers deserve nothing less than the very best. These improvements will make flying in and out of Boston on American Airlines and American Eagle even more convenient and enjoyable for both the business and leisure traveler, while delivering on our overall goal of improving our customers' travel experience.

Some may think that they will have a greater likelihood of autonomy and success at Boston Scientific, as opposed to being eaten up by the J&J machine.

That class will end with a trip to the International Boston Seafood Show.

That first game in Boston was a pivotal point. We got down early, came back and tied it and ended up losing. I think that really knocked a lot out of us.

My time in Boston was great. But now I'm here playing for the greatest franchise in the world. The team with the most championships.

My No. 1 goal is to be No. 1 in my first Boston Marathon, and I always run to win.

My mum is very political - left wing - and my dad was in the advertising business. They were both from the East Coast: Boston and New York City, respectively.

My whole point this season was to prove to Boston they made a good choice when they picked me up. It was nice tonight especially after I started with Toronto and they kind of gave up on me and traded me.

My voice was taken away from me. The prosecutors in Boston are elected. I am all in favour of educating people in Boston about shaken baby syndrome.

Look, it was awesome, ... Winning a championship in Boston was awesome, but I needed to turn the page. I'm here now. I don't want to rewrite that chapter, I want to write a new chapter, winning a championship on this side.

I still have the original tapes that had the BASIC that we brought from Boston to Albuquerque that had the first versions of BASIC on them.

I tell you guys all the time -- I'm a bullpen guy. I don't wake up in the morning and go to the grocery store and tell everybody I'm a closer. I'm here. I'm a Boston Red Sox. That's what I am. Go out there and win a World Series, that's all I'm here for.

I suppose we could bring him back and let him pitch in Boston (next week) but he only threw 32 pitches the other day (against Triple-A Syracuse) and I don't think he'll throw a whole lot more (Thursday). I like keeping him on track to pitch on the 16th (at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago) without messing it up.

I'm heavily involved with the interpretive portion of the Boston Mill project. I think it's important to interpret events of the past to understand where things are going in the future.

I can’t even think about what life “could have been” like in Boston, without crying. It’s like deja-vu, I don’t think me and Boston were ever meant to be.

The ACC will be as strong as always, ... Duke may be ranked No. 1 nationally in the preseason. Our fans will also have the opportunity to see Boston College when they come to Joel Coliseum.

The 2003-2004 Bruins team has pretty much been dismantled, and he understood that. Leaving Boston is pretty difficult for Sergei, because he has been here pretty much his whole pro career. It's a fresh start, and Sergei will go to Edmonton and do his best.

That's a very positive thing for Boston College, too. I'd like to be able to say the same things about our circumstances every year, but in this particular case, because they have all shown themselves to be effective, it really doesn't make a great deal of difference who plays.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I got traded. Not playing against San Jose much and only seeing him on TV a few times, I didn't realize how good and quick and dangerous he is at finding those holes a passer always looks for when he's trying to find a goal-scorer. After the first game or two, I knew we had that kind of chemistry I had with Glenn Murray for so many years in Boston . Maybe better.

I would love to study musical theater in a big city. New York University and the Boston Conservatory have always been at the back of my mind.

Mike and I worked together for seven years. Mike and I have a great relationship and we still do to this day. We were comfortable with each other because we had worked together at Boston College and Virginia. He is definitely a great person and a obviously a great coach.

Whoever doesn't get this company is going to be the lucky one. If I were Boston Scientific, I'd certainly find something wrong in my due diligence to walk away from this.

While you may not have Boston or New York in it from a ratings standpoint, you do have the third largest market in Chicago and Clemens going for Houston, a team who has never been in a World Series.

We doubt this show is over, and in the end we expect that Boston Scientific will increase its bid.

We have to remember that this guy was pitching against Boston College and West Virginia this year, not Oakland and the Yankees.

We are thrilled to have Wilson participate in this prestigious event. The Boston Open is recognized in badminton for its top player draw and high quality competition, and represents a great opportunity for Wilson to expand its reach in the sport.

We had to win. We couldn't go back to Boston looking like a bunch of fools.

We have a great location between Boston and New York, a highly educated work force, and Connecticut is a beautiful place to live.

You are a rock star when you play in that city, regardless. We deal with that daily. Boston is ... unique. Boston is a small city, it's Sox Nation. People live, die, eat and breathe baseball. I think now our job as a group is to come in here and make everybody, you know, be a rock star.

We have brought a lot of companies into the Boston Scientific family and we have never been more confident or enthusiastic about the prospects for a merger.

We were hoping Homeland Security would offset some of those reductions, ... It hasn't. We're down officers, the city of Boston is down officers, and the crime rate is beginning to creep back up again. I think there's a direct cause and effect here.

Year after year the property values keep rising and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight, despite the predictions. When you look at cities like Boston and Chicago, I would suspect that we're very much the same. It used to be considered the alternate lifestyle and now it's the preferred lifestyle. This niche market is no longer just a niche.

We needed playoff replacements for the Florida Pit Bulls and Gallup Talons. We chose the Ohio Aviators and Boston, partly because Boston changed ownership during the season and did a good job.

We did not throw and catch as good as we have in the past. I'm sure Boston College (next week's opponent), they might be similar and we might have a hard time running if we can't throw.

We are ready to take on an extremely challenging schedule. The non-conference schedule is filled with tough games on the road including Boston College and Florida State of the ACC and Connecticut of the Big East. The home schedule features the Atlantic 10 teams with the richest basketball history such as Temple, Saint Joseph's, Xavier, Dayton and Charlotte. We think our fans will be very excited that the top teams in our conference will be coming to the Mullins Center, especially late in the year when they can support us.

We are part of the Boston metro area. The more connectivity that we have, particularly mass transit, the stronger economic activity we are going to enjoy.

We played well to get the win. This was a weird game. It was a hard grind-it-out type of game. We knew Boston would be eager to come here and ride the momentum of how they won the other night. It was a big win for us.

This storm was definitely a powerful nor'easter. In general, the Boston area has received 12 to18 inches of snow.

Today, prospective students see a strong African-American student presence on our campus. I think our students are extremely instrumental in attracting prospective African-American students to consider Boston College.

We work very closely with Boston police to ensure the safe conduct of all of our spectators.

Any city may have one period of magnificence, like Boston or New Orleans or San Francisco, but it takes a real one to keep renewing itself until the past is perennially forgotten.

We prefer one room in Rangoon to six in Boston. We feel that we are highly blessed.

We stayed in Boston for our spring break this year just because of the weather, and we were able to row everyday. That was a great thing, being able to spend our time here and kind of get to know the river just a little bit more extensively.
