Against Quotes
It would be sweeter, ... Everybody would like to see the Yankees not make the postseason one year. If Boston wins that division, and we do our job by beating the Yankees, it would be a tremendous thing. It means we're playing good baseball against a team that sets the standard for good baseball.

Bringing Quotes
The thing that kept bringing us back to Pete's movie is that it was a story about real people. It (also) had a very specific locale; Chicago is to this movie what Boston was to 'Good Will Hunting,' ... It was enormously heartfelt and, ultimately, nobody could deny being moved by his story.

Add Quotes
Sometimes I think you have to watch what you wish for because we have proven ourselves being the lower seed. Last year Boston College was cheering for us too. If that's what they want they got it. We understand it'll be 95 percent Florida fans and that will just add to excitement. We're ready for it.

Believe Quotes
Product quality and performance have always been a top priority at Boston Scientific. We are bringing the same urgency to our overall quality and reporting management. We believe we have made a lot of progress, but we still have a ways to go. We are looking forward to our meeting with the FDA and to resolving these issues.

Believe Quotes
Our culture tends to label everybody and everything either a success or a failure, a winner or a loser. I often wonder how the one winner and 58,000 losers in the Boston Marathon feel about that? I can't imagine even one of those runners thinking of himself as a loser. I believe that for every one of them, to run the race well is to succeed.
-
Benefit Quotes
Companies of all sizes as well as consumers in Boston now can conduct business faster than ever before with the same UPS convenience and reliability they have come to expect. And the enhancements work in both directions because our customers will benefit from this network upgrade when they receive packages coming into Boston as well.
-
Attract Quotes
As a bicoastal wealth management bank, First Republic needs to be in the Northeast and, of course, Fairfield County. Last month's acquisition of First Signature Bank positions them in the important markets of Boston and greater Greenwich. Still, they're going to have tough competition. These markets attract the best and the brightest in private banking.
-
Acoustics Quotes
The broadcasters were initially slow to sign up, but now they are on board with it. Now the problem is with the consumer electronics industry. Polk and Boston Acoustics have HD receivers in the market, but they are not yet available in volume. There was precious little over the last holiday season in the retail market.

Additional Quotes
Austin is especially attractive to us because there are significant business, political and cultural links to Boston and New York, and there's great demand for convenient, nonstop service between the cities. And communities in Central Texas (such as) San Antonio and Fredericksburg can benefit from additional service to and from Austin's Bergstrom airport.
-
Affordable Quotes
Austin has headliners like Dell, Motorola and UT that would benefit greatly from nonstop service to New York and Boston. Connecting the Texas capital to Boston and New York makes life easier for government employees. (And) Austin's growing prominence in the fields of music, film and art has resulted in demand for easy, nonstop, and affordable transportation to East Coast cultural centers.

Appreciate Quotes
That's why I love playing here. You work so hard to get to (the World Series) and if, in fact, it comes about, there's only a few cities that really, truly genuinely appreciate that. There's only a few teams that I want to win a World Series with. Boston was one, and Chicago is another.
-
Admit Quotes
They don't put themselves in a position to give up big plays, although I think Coach Ross would be the first to admit that they're probably not as efficient on offense as he would like at this point in the season. It's a team that's obviously looking for its first win. They played Boston College and UConn and took Iowa State right down to the wire and Baylor. Obviously, they feel like if they're going to win a game it has to be against Central.
-
Electricity Quotes
There's a hate-respect thing between us. We didn't like each other at all, but we had a respect for the great players Boston had. That's part of what makes the Yankees and Red Sox special. I'd heard about the rivalry when I was with the White Sox, but you don't know about it until you play in it and feel the electricity of the crowd.
-
Advantage Quotes
It seems like so far both teams, us and Chicago, honestly we just haven't taken advantage of it. Chicago comes into Boston and beats us and then goes up to Orlando and loses, and we did the same thing a week ago. That's just how the season's been for both teams. That's why we're in the ninth and 10th spots.
-
Background Quotes
It's easily distinguishable. When the Winter Olympics were taking place one year, I was watching skiing, and in the background I saw someone with a WVU hat on. It was easy to pick out. And I was watching the New York Yankees play the Boston Red Sox last year, and behind the batter there was a fan with a WV ball cap.

African Quotes
It's a bad deal for community lending. We've looked at Sovereign's existing lending in the market - from Philadelphia to Boston - and we found that in all of the markets we've looked at they disproportionately deny credit to people of color, African Americans and Latinos. Where credit is granted, they are much more likely to impose higher costs on people of color.
-
Against Quotes
It's more than six years since my last hat-trick so it was sweet to get another one. I'm getting back to my best now and I'm scoring goals. I scored three against Boston and I could have had more. I'm just pleased that I'm getting the chance to play regular football again - the manager told me that is why he wanted me and I'm paying him back with the goals.
-
Baseball Quotes
It's going to come to an end. We know that. We're not talking about a 23-year-old rookie. We're talking about a 43-year-old guy who has been there, done that. Eventually -- whether it's the next two weeks or the next two years -- this thing is going to end. So I'm just grateful I had the opportunity to play baseball with him. As a kid who grew up as a Boston Red Sox fan to where I am today, it's been an honor.
-
Cheer Quotes
It's pretty magical. The fact is, you go out there and play hard and the fans always respect that, they cheer you. They welcome the Red Sox into their homes every single night. You just don't do that. Boston fans, from kids to grandparents and housewives, we're a part of their family. That they welcome us like that is pretty awesome.
-
Aggressive Quotes
Everyone knows him because of his name, but I think the fans in Boston are really going to like him. He's a very good center fielder who is very aggressive defensively. He can hit and he possesses some power. He had a good season last year, but he also had a good season two years ago. He's done it now two years in row so I don't think anyone can consider last year a fluke. He's only 26. I think he's only going to get better.
-
Against Quotes
The Boston Marathon bombings in April 2013 remind us that the terrorist threat against the United States remains persistent. The threat from homegrown violent extremists is of particular concern. These individuals present unique challenges because they do not share a typical profile; their experiences and motives are often distinct and personal.
-
Conference Quotes
It's an exciting time for Boston College. Seeing that this will be our first conference game in the ACC, and we've got to start off with the best, so I think it'll be great for our school and great for our football team and fans that we'll be playing in front of a national television audience.
-
Coming Quotes
It's bittersweet. The last time I was in an all-star game, I was in Grade 11 or 12 in high school. That was a lot of fun. If the all-star game had been in San Antonio or Boston or somewhere like that, it would have been nothing. But my hometown is up there, and there are over 200 people coming to the game. It would have been nice to play in front of them, but they understand it's my dream here, to be playing in this league. It's just too bad, I guess.
-
Charity Quotes
Not at all. I cried. I was crushed. The city and the fans meant that much to me, and they still do. I played for those fans, my teammates, the history of that franchise. It was hard to take the way it went down, but the thing I'm proudest of from my time in Boston is that we raised more than $1 million for charity and there is still a playground that has my name on it.
