Expecting Quotations | Page 4

I don't think anybody could tell you, 'Yeah we were expecting three CGs against a club like that.' It's pretty amazing. I don't know, maybe I should stop being amazed by these guys.

I don't think we were expecting it to be so dramatic so quickly this year. We just didn't feel it was responsible to wait three more days during a holiday weekend to let clinicians know.

I expect this match to be tight just as our last match was here at home back in February. The final score may have indicated otherwise, but we're not expecting anything but a battle. It should be fun.

I don't think people are expecting too much out of us, so maybe we can surprise some of them. We talked about it at our team meeting and asked if there's anyone in the league we can't beat. They all said no.

Glenn isn't expecting to hold his existing place on the list. He was fairly high last year and he is realistic about things this time around.

Given the reserve addition in 2004 and the fact that trends in asbestos litigation have not deteriorated in 2005, we are not expecting a major charge from the company.

I go into this with my eyes open. There are a lot of expectations with this position. There will also be a lot of scrutiny of this position. I'm expecting it. I think that's a good thing.

He has gotten bigger and stronger and we are expecting a lot out of him.

He has exceeded any expectations you would have for someone less than a year out of the draft. Certainly, we probably expected a little more out of him because of the person he is and because of his background, and we all went into spring training hoping he would be ready to contribute at some point this year, but never expecting he'd be closing games in June.

He has a lot of potential and athletic ability. But he needs the day-in-day-out consistency. We're not expecting him to hit off the charts, but it needs to be there every day. All the pieces are there. He has all the ability, it's just that he needs to put all the pieces together on a daily basis.

He has signed a contract with us and I heard on Monday that his work permit has been received. We were expecting him to join us at any time.

He is achieving what I consider to be his key objective in this testimony, which was to keep the market expecting higher rates.

He had a great year last year. He was real steady at shortstop and at the plate. We're expecting big things from him again.

He made some mistakes, and we were expecting that. Once he gets out there and gets a little bit more comfortable, his athleticism is going to take over.

He made some mistakes, and we were expecting that, ... Once he gets out there and gets a little bit more comfortable, his athleticism is going to take over.

He might be a little bigger now than he was. But he can still play. He's active and he's usually around the football. I'm expecting him to be there all day.

Today, I will speak words which will make others feel good about themselves without being stingy; no pretensions, expecting nothing in return.

We thought we were going to have a good team for years to come. We didn't have a lot of old guys then. But we weren't expecting the injuries.

We are expecting to surpass 3,000 permits in this year.

We are expecting to see some pressure on inflation. Companies are going to take advantage of strong demand to at least cover their cost increases.

We are expecting to launch the IPO in the next three months. We are working on the draft prospectus.

Today, everyone has moved off those two stories a bit. We're expecting a build in crude, so it's hard to simultaneously say crude is desperately short and U.S. stocks continue to build.

What you're expecting from those guys is always pitching in pressure situations,

Having watched the news back home for the past number of months, I must tell you that I came over here expecting to see a sense of despair and, quite frankly, a somewhat frightening area, and it's anything but that,

He's a tough man. I talked to him a little bit this morning and he told me he fully expects to be out there. I'm expecting it, too.

He should give us some pop in the lineup and the ability to drive in some runs. We hope he drives in 100 runs and hits 30 home runs. That's what we're expecting from him.

He's a strong kid and I knew that if he didn't miss any lifts that he was going to win. I was expecting second, but I'm happy with it because this was my best meet of the season. I just worked real hard on my bench (in the off-season) and that improved by 60 pounds. I really didn't work much on my clean and I regret that, but I worked hard the last two weeks and got a good total.

He's fine. We are expecting him to be as good as he can be.

The Palestinians are expecting the new administration in Washington to take seriously the threats of the Sharon agenda.

The rand is coming under a bit of pressure on the back of very strong retail sales data out of the US, but I'm not expecting it to weaken too much further given that the Budget tomorrow is taking centre stage with the locals. It should remain in a 6.12 to 6.20 range.

The ramp up we had into earnings let you know that people were expecting big things. Any time we go into an earnings season and the market is overbought, it sends up a caution flag for me.

There is an increasing process of consolidation that's taking place around the industry. Globally, we've been seeing the buildup of these great alliances ... And I think outsiders have been expecting this in the U.S. domestic industry for some time.

There aren't any details to discuss at this time. We're expecting that the team will go to the White House some time in the spring. As we get more information, we'll pass it along.

We may still be about $200,000 to $250,000 short. We're expecting some tax credits, but we may still have to do some local fundraising.

We must have these things lined up before a disaster happens, ... We're sorry if we offended people or made people not feel included. After Katrina hit, we were in a crisis mode. Because we were expecting to get potentially 1,000 evacuees, we had to work fast and work smart.

I actually don't pay a lot of attention to the movie 'industry'... I just do the work when I get it. I never considered anything I was in, or did, as a possible breakthrough for me. I have advised other actors not to expect anything. Expecting a 'breakthrough' is almost an automatic for sure 'let down' or heartbreak.

He was in the same situation as me last year, first year in Double-A. He wasn't expecting to get called up. But fortunately for him, he got to go to Atlanta and make a career.

He was expecting us to be professional the whole time, ... whereas before ?

He was expecting a landslide to confirm his mandate and he has not got it. If he stays on, he will continue to be a divisive force.

He was terrific at state last year. His time in the finals was about 3 seconds faster than his previous best. I'm really expecting a lot this year; he set me up for that with his performance last year.

I almost kind of wish it would get colder. We don't want it all to come off in April. We're expecting a pretty good runoff this year.

He (coach Mike Morgan) told me to swing as hard as I could and look bad on the first pitch. On the second one, I was kind of expecting curve ball so I was expecting something low. I got it down luckily.

Half the businesses we surveyed are family-owned. About a quarter of these owners expect to retire or sell sometime in the next five years -- but only 13 percent expect the businesses to stay in the family -- with 35 percent having no idea what they will do or expecting to close down. Owners often spend an entire lifetime building their businesses -- but rarely give thought to what will happen when they are ready to retire. As a family-owned business ourselves, we strongly encourage businesses to start planning now -- to minimize taxes and address other financial and emotional considerations.

Harry and I are expecting to sleep on the ground, maybe in a tent.

Kevin has yet to really miss anything, so we're expecting him to be 100 percent,

J was open to our style from the get-go. They weren't expecting us to do something that was unnatural for us.

Jordan Payne is an outstanding addition to our program. He is a big-time scorer who can play either guard spot and is a coach on the floor. We feel he gives us an added dimension that we did not have last season and are expecting big things from Jordan next year.

John has practiced very well. He has thrown the ball extremely well through practice. You always like to see it carried over to the game. That's exactly what I saw - what I was expecting to see.

J.R.'s man was playing off him with help defense, expecting me to come off looking to score - which I was. But J.R. was wide open so I gave him the ball and he took it from there.

I suspect that most people, on balance, had been expecting a referral,

I suspect it was just a bout of profit taking, a bit of nervousness ahead of next week's Fed meeting. Not that anyone's expecting anything out of the Fed's next week, but I think there still are some lingering concerns about the longer-term interest rate outlook. Especially with oil prices pushing above $32 a barrel,

I think I rushed them. I got so excited because I wasn't expecting to be wide open.

It can result in a person paying more than they were expecting to pay. It could be anything from a few pennies more to dollars more.

It bounced right into me. I wasn't expecting it.

It a privilege and an honor to be invited with so many great players around the country right now. We have all put in a lot of hard work and to be recognized by USA Softball is special. I was not expecting this, but the opportunity to play with Desiree one more time after my college career. The chance to play with her again this summer in Taiwan at the World University Games would be incredible.

I think it's going to be a backyard brawl and it would be great to get that first 'W' on the board. But it's going to be like a street fight. This is the best JB team I've seen since I've been here (18 years). They've got good size and are physical. So we're expecting a fight.

It could get a little rougher after 15-30, also the sun starts to pound down a little bit and makes everything softer, makes the skis not slide as well. I went at about 80%. I wanted to get that race feeling but I didn't think I'd be that fast. I definitely wasn't expecting to be first.

It confirms that this recession in 2001 was not particularly mild or as short as some folks had thought, ... We were expecting at least two negative quarters, and the fact we had three is a little bit of a surprise. That helps explain why we're having so much difficulty generating some positive momentum right now. The economy was weaker than we had thought.

It introduces a little more uncertainty into the marketplace in the sense that most people were expecting some sort of action by the end of December at the latest.

It is a bore, I admit, to be past seventy, for you are left for execution, and are daily expecting the death-warrant; but it is not anything very capital we quit. We are, at the close of life, only hurried away from stomach-aches, pains in the joints, from sleepless nights and unamusing days, from weakness, ugliness, and nervous tremors; but we shall all meet again in another planet, cured of all our defects.

It hurts because I won't be able to finish my last season. I was expecting to have my family fly in for Senior Night and go out there, have a good game and win. Now my Senior Night, I'll just be watching my team play. That's hard. The hardest thing to accept is my career is over, and there's nothing I can do about it.

It is a fascinating period, but people are expecting miracles - and miracles just don't happen, ... We have to be realistic about how fast we can change.

I think the markets had largely been expecting some sort of air strikes, and had pretty much factored that in.

I think the market is expecting a slight increase and so if they don't do anything, I think you'll see a sell-off. If it's increased more than expected, you might get a little pick-up -- but it's keeping the market a little on edge.

I think the market is a little nervous because Greenspan talks tomorrow and everybody is expecting him to give an indication of how much of an increase we'll see next week.

I think their pressure did get to us. We weren't expecting it. We had kind of that deer-in-headlights look.

I think the fans from the original 'Teen Wolf' tuned in expecting us to ruin the franchise, and I think that we've only heightened it. So we've brought 'Teen Wolf' back.

I think the coaching changes really threw Coker a curveball. I don't know if they were expecting it to be as difficult as it has been for them to recruit this year.

I think the change is significant -- and troubling. For one thing, it is in addition to the other termination payments, which the first one was not. And it is larger, for no apparent reason. Are they expecting a change of control?

I think the boys ran pretty well, ... Most of them are at their best time or better. Kyle Terwillegar was able to medal and he also had a personal best. We?re expecting big things (from him).

Lambeau Field will be buzzing with activity, much like Packers game days. We're expecting a real festival atmosphere. Fans can enjoy the food and refreshments at the concessions stands, while taking in the fast-paced action on the ice.

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

I thought their pressure did get to us. We weren't expecting it and we were kind of deer-in-the-headlights, not knowing what to do.

I thought that when you have more success that you'd feel more buoyed or feel more confident. But in fact my brain has the gift of switching it around and saying, 'Now people are expecting something. Now you're really going to let people down.'

I thought that was the highlight of the meet and I was not expecting that, but she dove great and it's a high score for a girl to go that on six dives on the three-meter.

I think we go on the floor expecting to win. I'm happy with that change of mentality. These girls are fighters and they'll fight until it's all done.

I think we're still expecting an above normal season for 2006.

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 we were definitely shocked. We weren't expecting that. It will be a little extra fire, a little added incentive.

I think we're well-prepared for the worst possible situation. We're expecting some icy roads in the morning.

I think what we found out this week is that any alleged wrongdoing is really confined to a single individual. Those who were expecting an indictment, indicating a broad conspiracy to out a covert CIA agent or -- are going to be disappointed because there is no evidence to support that.

I think as these device announcements that we're expecting out of RIM emerge, the stock is going to continue to move higher.
