Field Quotations | Page 6

My father's a clergyman, and he was in the mission field for a certain amount of time in British Honduras, which is now Belize.

My dad never coached me, but he was always there, ... He liked to sit out behind the center field fence.

Maybe next year we can improve on this by increasing the field from eight to 12. We would like to create some rivalries between Region 7 and Region 8.

Now that Tyson has added this $25,000 incentive, I am more determined than ever to try and break the world record. With such a strong field in this event the winner will have to show he has a combination of power and endurance. The winner of this race will no doubt also be the new world record holder.

Now you see MAC teams playing a lot of Big Ten teams tough. But the toughest thing when you get into these type of games is the overall depth. Recruiting-wise they still get, most the time, who they want. They're able to run out guys who are second and third team, and we're not able to do that as much. Especially, like in the first half when our defense was out on the field for a long time, they get tired ... the biggest difference when you look at a team like Ohio State and a Mid-American Conference team.

Never in my 20 years of coaching this sport have I had one player - let alone two - taken from a field via ambulance. The most painful, emotional night in my softball life.

Obviously they're a special tandem. I love having those guys around. You know what you're going to get every time you step on the football field and you can't ask for more than that.

Obviously the threes hurt us, but if we'd have shot better than 21 percent from the field and 40 percent from the line, we'd have been right there.

Obviously, the position is wide open. Right now they're tied. But it's still early. What'll separate them is how they do on the field in practice.

Obviously, the first win is very important, but just the strength of the field here, the Evian Masters, I think the whole ensemble of everything is huge, ... This is one of the biggest purses tournaments and purses that we have. I think that means an awful lot and is very exciting.

Obviously it's disappointing not being able to be on the field because of injury. I think it's disappointing on my part personally as well, letting my teammates down with this injury. But there is not much I can do other than concentrate on getting back on the field as fast as I can.

Obviously a club that struggles as badly as this one on the field for points there is going to be speculation about the manager and its way forward. I do not want to add to that speculation.

No chance. I've got to find it somehow. It'll be more exciting when I get there. I'm not excited about the travel and trying to recover, but I think stepping out on the field there is going to be really cool.

Rex was a big part of our organization, and we really miss him. This is our way to honor his memory. We have a great field of cars for all of the divisions.

Right now it's the mini-Cup Series. When you start getting half the field as Cup drivers in every race, I don't think it's healthy.

Right now, everyone is jockeying to get the best deal they can for their own particular cause. It's imperative that everyone can field a competitive team. If any team has a hardship, we have to make sure revenue sharing fixes it. We have an obligation to do that. In the end, we have to come up with something that both sides can live with.

Right field is important, but what we're looking for is common sense. Swing at the ball in the strike zone. His tendency is to be overly aggressive. We think we can throttle him back.

Rich has helped us tremendously. I think over the next year or so you're going to see great improvements in our field and Dr. McDuffie is directly responsible for that.

People were learning to play traditional music, folk songs, and that's a big field - that's everything from blues to Appalachian music.

Pessimism operates in a narrowed field of vision that fails to take into account the possibilities at the outer edges of experience.

Perseverance alone does not assure success. No amount of stalking will lead to game in a field that has none.

Potentially, this might be the best team on the field we've had.

Possessing the ball in the middle of the field is our main goal. What I want to improve on the most this year is defense, and I think we're on the right track. Everyone on the field is playing defense really well.

Poor shooting from the field and free-throw line cost us the game. But we played very good defense and took them out of their game.

Personally, I would be resistant to that and I believe that in listening to my colleagues on the committee, there doesn't seem to be a lot of momentum in that direction. I think that over the last two years there is a certain magic that has evolved over the course of this tournament, and I wouldn't want to fool around with that in the short term in regards to expanding the field in any way.

My team is the Red Sox. At center field there?s Coco Crisp, at right field is Manny Ramirez, at third is Mike Lowell, and at catcher there?s J.M.

My sense is that there are enormous opportunities in loss prevention because the field is just exploding.

Only days after we fully complied with a NAFTA decision, Canada responds by announcing huge new subsidies. Canada's actions illustrate what the United States has been saying all along: the Canadian industry is the beneficiary of subsidies that create an un-level playing field to the detriment of the U.S. industry.

One thing is when she steps out on the field whether it's practice or a game she'll put her best effort out. Sometimes I see girls become seniors and because they've been playing their whole life they get a little burned out. Liz still has that enthusiasm to play, has a good attitude and kept everything in perspective.

Nick had quite a day today. Nick was clearly the best player on the field today and was dangerous any time he got the ball. Their defense was struggling to keep up with him. People don't realize how fast he is, they underestimated his speed and they got burned today.

Nobody knows where that came from. We'd never had any issues. Any problems. This just came out of left field and took us back.

Nobody is more frustrated and disappointed in me than I am. Throughout my adult life, I have worked very hard on and off the field to live my life in an honorable way. All my accomplishments are now tainted, and many people have been hurt,

No. 3 is a great athlete. He sees the field so well and he's so quick, he really makes people miss him.

Ninety-nine percent of the work in stem cells does not involve cloning. This episode will have little impact on pace of research in the field as a whole.

On paper, we're the best team in the league. We'll find out what that means if we get our field cleared off for Delta.

Only the most technologically savvy universities are able to compete in the field of drug discovery and bioinformatics. Georgia Tech's focus on top-of-the-line technology and research facilities and the attraction of Dr. Jeff Skolnick and other world-class scholars will raise its presence in this competitive market and attract some of the nation's brightest students to join our research team to advance medicines that will improve the well-being of people everywhere.

On that play, you have to give Coal City's safety credit. We planned earlier to use that play and we kept our tight end to block. Carpenter noticed that and drifted over to the middle of the field for the interception. We dug ourselves a tough hole but we survived.

On the field, he's not that mild-mannered and that's even better.

On the field, he kind of means everything.

On the field everybody needs to be on the same page, that's the only thing I concern myself with. You're not here to put up stats. You're here to win.

Only youngsters may hunt this day and it is a week before the season opens for all other waterfowl hunters, so young people should have a really good hunting experience. I would really encourage parents and other adults to get young hunters into the field that day to enjoy a day of hunting.

One of the cardinal features of addiction is how long-lived it is, ... A key question in the field has been: By what mechanisms do drugs of abuse cause changes in the brain that last this long?

One of the big problems with the conflict resolution field and one of the real challenges is to move beyond its table-oriented view of itself.

One of the reasons why we want to play in this tournament when we're eligible is because it's usually a good field and you end up playing pretty good teams. You find out quickly early in the season where you stand. We're a lot better today than we were last week.

One of the great difficulties as you rise up through an organisation is that your prior competencies are exploded and broken apart by the territory you've been promoted into: the field of human identity.

One of the most exciting things about this transaction related to the music business, ... Through AOL and through the Internet, you have a worldwide opportunity to promote. The music business is built on signing new acts, and this new society has a vast field of which to choose. Also, music lends itself to the digital downloading and more efficient delivery of music.

One of the disconcerting things about writing for publication is that you're trying to clear your little parcel of land in a field where Taste is king - and, as we all know, there's no accounting for Taste.

I was going to Columbia Pictures and Eastman Kodak had a class going for cameramen. I signed up to be a field cameraman. I showed this film to my professor and he showed it to Frank Capra.

I was fortunate enough to be there for Ernie, Billy and Ron, ... I was on the field for all those ceremonies, not even thinking I would have a day that would come like today but just taking it in. To be in their company and to join them means everything to me.

I was five under on that hole for the week with an eagle and three birdies. But there you go. This was strongest field in the world this year...and to almost win is fine.

I was real pleased with the way we were playing defensively, and we were passing it around pretty well too, so we switched the field on them well. We finally got the goal. That's what kind of broke the game open.

I was running across the field right at two players and I hit both of them and I didn't slow down. I caught them sideways. It even hurt me a little. I was seeing stars for a few seconds.

I was surprised and taken aback that he was using steroids, because I never thought about him being a person that might be a steroids user. I always admired him for the way he went about his work, the way he performed on the field and the way he conducted himself off the field.

I was somewhat surprised by some of the things that I was doing on the field last year, ... I would be turning a corner and was like, 'Wow, I made that play, all right. I can do these things, I can have longer runs and I'm doing it on the big stage now.'" ()

I was somewhat resistant to doing that because I really wanted to do field work.

I wouldn't use the word normalcy as much as this week is going to be more convenient for us. The normalcy issue is we've never played in this stadium before. We've never come here on a game day. We didn't get the numbers and hash marks on the field until a couple days ago. We have to double up in our locker room and give the other half to Buffalo. So this is going to be a brand new environment for all of us.

I would have liked to have seen us hold them to a field goal down there, but I gotta give the kid credit, ... Who was it, Cooley? He made a nice play on that.

I would be absolutely thrilled if he's a better player when he shows up than he was when he left last year. Lopez needs a better focus. He needs to stay in the center of the field with his hitting. We really need to stay on him every hour of every day to stay in the middle of the field and stay focused on what it is he's trying to accomplish.

I would always play the striker, so I would be running down the field back and forth almost the entire game, and man by the end, that was quite a workout.

I workout two times a day and everything has been going great. I'm ready to get to Indianapolis and show the NFL teams what I can do on the field and what kind of person I am off the field. I've heard that it is basically a four-day job interview, but thanks to the preparation I received from my family and from all of the people at Texas, I feel pretty confident.

I was pleased with our runners, just across the board in different events. In field events, we had good individual efforts, but we're still looking to have rounded team efforts.

I guess I can utilize that side of the field more. I feel like I'm hitting the ball hard every time. That's key in putting pressure on the defense.

If we get our trap going inside, it helps us a lot. We thought we'd run the ball, eat up the clock and keep their offense off the field because they have some good athletes on offense.

If we put all of our eggs in one basket they will beat us another way. They can run the football, they can throw the football. They have play makers all across the field so we can't limit ourselves to stopping one person or one thing.

If we had a short field, some of those drives would have been scoring drives. We just played on the wrong side of the field today.

If we had a decent kicker, I would go for a field goal. But we don't really have a capable field goal kicker. We pray on an extra point. We're put in a position where we have to go for things. A field goal here and there would make a big difference. We just don't have the ability to do it.

If we have a child interested in collecting leaves or rocks or taking pictures of plants or flowers, we'd certainly like to take the time to escort them and even do a few cool experiments. We've got a great soccer field where you can see every star in the sky, if a child is interested in the planets. And I'd love to learn from the kids, if they knew something I didn't know.

I got one of those rings, ... But I wasn't on the field when we won it. I want to win a championship with the Cowboys. I am motivated by trying to do everything I can to tip my cap and ride off into the sunset with my Super Bowl ring.

If they are in the middle of the field all the time, yes, it is probably pretty hard for anyone to stop, ... If you can get some field position, and you give them the three- and four-yard completion . . . then eventually they miss one of them.

If we can get something resolved before the district tournament, that would be great. But when we accept it, we want the field to be the best it can be.

If we can get him on the field and get him some playing time, I think that would be good. It'd be good just to get him out there in pads, get him used to his teammates and the communication that's involved.

If we can field ground balls and play solid on defense, I think we'll have a good chance to win every game.

If this was a level playing field and if the company hadn't sent out veiled threats, things would be different.

I have been privileged to work for such a forward-looking organization that contributes significantly both to the field of medicine and to the Western Pennsylvania community.

I have entered the field to die, if need be, for this government, and never expect to return to peaceful pursuits until the object of this war of preservation has become a fact established.

I don't have a problem with the guy. The guy is a tremendous player on the field. Everyone has seen that, and I have been a part of that. It takes a team to succeed on the field, so no way do I ever point at one person as being the reason why we were winning or losing football games. But he certainly is a difference-maker. If I were able to have the opportunity to be a teammate of his again, I would not back down from it.

I don't have a problem with the guy. He's a tremendous player on the field. I've witnessed that. He's a difference-maker. If I were to have an opportunity to be a teammate of his again, I wouldn't back down from the situation.

I didn't want to sit around anymore. I don't want to just be sitting around. I'd like to be on the field somehow.

I'd like him to play even if the field isn't 100 percent.

I don't even want to think about the first game. We didn't field, we didn't hit. The second game was a completely different team.

I did some things off the field that I don't talk about anymore, but I learned from those.

I did something a lot of people will have to do in this economy if they want to eventually land their dream job. I turned down an offer to take a high-paying position in another field because it wouldn't fulfill me.

I don't know that tradition has ever won or lost a game. As far as I can tell, the field they have up there is 53 yards wide and 100 yards deep. They'll play 11. We'll play 11. The game will be decided on who does the best job of blocking and tackling and dominating the guys they play against.

I don't know where those 70 field investigations were. The FBI didn't put them anywhere. Nobody in Washington knew about them.

I don't know why, but it seemed like we came out flat. We thought we had a good game plan coming in, and we thought we could move the ball up and down the field on them. For some reason we were just flat.

I don't know of a football field -- pup, community, Pop Warner, junior high, high school or college -- that that's not a touchdown, ... But evidently not in the NFL.

I don't known what it is about Miami, but we just can't kick field goals here. You can't get as many penalties as we had and expect to beat a team like Penn State. I was just penalty after penalty after penalty. We could have had a lot more chances to score.

I don't know why we haven't put it together. Certainly the depth of the field makes it very difficult to win.

I don't care who it is, I don't like to see that ever. Because it means we're walking off the field and we lost.

I don't agree with this call. I don't agree with this call and only because there's still time on the clock. And with Washington with two timeouts, they still have time to move the football down for a field goal. ... Boy, this is risky.

I could see why a guy could be knocked unconscious. I didn't understand why he didn't wake up right away. ... I remember him getting wheeled off the field on that cart and just looking at him. He just looked asleep, and unfortunately, what transpired was the worst thing I could think of.

I create tension on the elastic band by moving away from the person who's holding it, and I maintain that tension while jumping up to head the ball. It works my legs and core while also working on balance. You feel it helping on the field when you're going up for a header or when an opponent is pulling or pushing to gain position.

I can field my position. If I start worrying about being ready for a line drive too soon, that means I'm not finishing my pitches, and I've got to be able to do that first.

I can do the math. You can't trade sevens for three, plain and simple. If you get an opportunity to score or stop them, you can't trade touchdowns for field goals, and that's what we did today.

I can actually build my equipment at the back end of the telescope such that it takes the data from all of the separate antennas and adds the signal together with different time delays and different phase shifts - it's as if I were picking out up to eight individual pixels in this large field of view.

I am delighted to see Jonah back on the field again. I had the privilege of captaining him for the All Blacks and he is one of the most dangerous wings the game has ever seen. It is a testament to the kind of man Jonah is that he is back on the rugby field. He is driven by a desire to succeed and we will have to make sure we are ready for him.

I always wanted to get off the field as quick as I could. It's easier for everybody and it's more fun. I played behind Maddux a little bit (in Atlanta in 1998-99) and you knew that on any pitch, the (hitter) was going to put the ball in play. You enjoy the game a little bit more when you have a pitcher like that.

I am happy that these next two games we're going to give them a chance to get on the field and show us what they can do. Our next game is vitally important for our opponent. If our guys can respond well on that game that speaks volumes for them.

I am in a great rhythm right now. I am seeing the field a lot better the last half of the season and the chemistry of the whole offense is starting to get better.

I believe they reflect the stabilization we've achieved in our customer base, and our field organization in the last quarter, setting the stage for future growth,
