Easier Quotes
I showed them I can still hit, but it's something I've been through the last two years. It's a lot easier to come back if I go to Memphis. I know the guys after being in camp this long. We'll see. It's not the 25 who start the season, but the 25 who end the season who get to the World Series.
-
Bring Quotes
The way he's coached us the first week of training camp and now in the preseason has been great. He has a lot of pressure because he's a rookie head coach, but we don't look at him like that. He's been on championship teams his whole life and he's going to bring that same intensity to us.
-
Bigger Quotes
The school record is just a milestone on the way to a bigger goal. I owe so much to my dad (Dan) and mom (Martha) who have helped me get to the good camps, like the J. Robinson 28-Day Intensive Camp in Minneapolis, and other tournaments. I have learned a great deal about how to prepare.

Amongst Quotes

These players are the future of our organization and several will have a chance to compete for positions on the Rangers in the very near future, including the upcoming season.
-
Chance Quotes
I've talked to all of our young players and given them a heads up that this is a big chance for them to play in the National Hockey League. I'm coming in with open eyes. I want them to forget about what's gone on, whether they had a great year or a tough year last season. There are plenty of spots available. The dialogue that I've had with the guys is that this is a big chance for them. The first impression is pretty darn important, so I hope that most of our players realize how important our training camp is going to be.
-
Both Quotes
These quarterbacks that are going to be competing throughout summer camp and there's no way to know how it will work out. It's fun to see that competition and see them both getting better. Both guys can operate in the pocket and outside the pocket. The only difference is that Joe has been under center 11 times before (at Nebraska).
-
Behind Quotes
The thinking right now is I'd rather break camp healthy. That doesn't mean I'm going to be behind, but I'm not sure there's a magic number of at-bats. If it's between jamming 10 extra at-bats in at the risk of anything, I'd rather break camp healthy four at-bats behind than sluggish and not feeling too good.

Awesome Quotes
The thing I love most about Florida State is the people who support us. It's unbelievable to be at an FSU football game with 80,000 awesome fans. I want my players, who have done so much to elevate our women's basketball program, to experience that special atmosphere...and I'll camp out to rally those same fans to join us on Sunday at 1 p.m.!

Appears Quotes
Thanks to the governor and many others working late into the night locating existing space in shelters and FEMA flying evacuees out, it appears we were able to locate shelters for the evacuees destined for tents at Camp Minden, ... Humane considerations, 102 degree temperatures and a possibility of 30 rain over northeast Texas and northwest Louisiana all drove efforts to find other sites.
-
Accounts Quotes
Ryan and Akio and Ian were all at the camp at Shawnigan Lake, ... By all accounts (Ian) had a very strong game, as did Ryan and Akio, so I think those guys will have a pretty good chance of making the Canada West squad. Mike wasn't there but he's still on the list and I think he's going to make it.
-
Friends Or Friendship Quotes
Our sense from talking with these teens is that the Internet expands their network of friends. They keep in touch with people they normally would not because instant messaging can be a more casual way of talking with someone you met at summer camp or someone you have not seen in awhile.
-
Congress Quotes
Our Congress should stay in session all summer - camp out in D.C., and turn off the AC. Put on their stuffiest powdered wigs and sweat it out, until they give in and put their John Hancocks (and their Nancy Pelosis and their John Boehners) on at least one meaningful law that no one wants to repeal.
-
Certain Quotes
The most important thing about camp and the preseason will be getting some chemistry going with the new guys. Last year, we knew where everyone was going to be on a certain play, how they were going to react to a certain defense or where they wanted a pass. It's going to take some time before we have that again.
-
Choice Quotes
Do you know what a showmance is? It is like being at a summer camp when you're a teenager. You spend summertime away from your home. When you spend three months very closely with someone at a particular place, it is like a summer love. You have no choice but to get involved with that person.
-
Available Quotes
A number of evacuees have been brought to Camp Grayling and other military installations downstate, ... We are going to make known to the governor's office that we have buildings, square footage and vacant land at Sawyer that could be available to help the residents and businesses displaced by Hurricane Katrina.

Explaining Quotes
Allan told me after I got the job one of the hardest things for him was the last two years he's kind of felt a little outside in terms of telling guys things he thought were obvious. He didn't feel like he was included as much. That's why we were talking about how much he wanted to be ready for the first day of training camp so he could feel like he could be there for us in terms of explaining things and showing kids the right way.
-
Advancing Quotes

He has been working extremely hard this summer and we are looking forward to seeing him on the ice at training camp in September.
-
Ball Quotes
You walk into camp with seven guys who can start, and now you're down to six. Then after Wednesday you're down to five. Starting pitching is a concern. Tony's not really a setback. He's going to be under a pitch count. He's going to get the ball on a regular basis like he would get it here. To be honest, I don't see any effect on that.
-
Best Quotes
This camp I'm figuring out what makes you click and maybe changing some things that I did last year that maybe wore me out or work on something that I didn't do last year that I can do to help myself improve. It's all part of the learning process of figuring out what suits you best and what gets you ready to play at your best.
-
Certain Quotes
A lot of stuff we have done during training camp was done competitively. When you game plan, there are certain elements that you prepare for, certain things that you want to do. Certain plays will complement other plays. It's a pretty dramatic difference from that point. (But) we'll see. I'm not going to say that was the result of anything. You still have to go out and perform and do it.
-
Beneficial Quotes
This particular camp is probably more beneficial than most because Roger has had the opportunity to acclimate himself to the deliveries of each of these pitchers, to put a face to an arm. He's been watching DVDs and looking at statistics. Now he can humanize these guys. So it's probably been more beneficial than any camp we've had in 16 years, from that standpoint.
-
Boot Quotes
At least we've made it fun. We've played some games out there, so it's nothing like boot camp or anything like that. It's more like it's been good to get in shape, but at the same time you can make it fun, and that's what they've been doing. It's getting old right now. We want to get back at it and play.
