Missed Quotations | Page 6

Going forward, (McGrady) is going to have missed 35 games and a few more by not being able to finish the games. Most of those games were home games. On top of that, he had a period in January and February, he was healthy enough. We're going to need him to be healthy and playing very, very well for us to make the improvement we want to make going forward.

Gold is more and more becoming an insurance policy against any type of disruptive risk and most portfolio managers believe that gold is an asset which should not be missed in their portfolios.

He's already missed two major events because of the suspension and now he's back. He's off suspension and now he is eligible.

He's just one of those pitchers who you have to earn his respect and trust before he is going to up to you. When I caught him in Arizona I hadn't really broken into the big leagues. I was scared and nervous, but now it's a little bit different. Plus after catching Wake it's like catching warm butter with a sharp knife. I don't know how I ever missed a ball before.

He's just got to keep getting better, keep improving. He's had a lot of RBIs, but I think he would be the first to tell you that he's missed some he should have gotten. Maybe he could be a little more consistent in that area, by picking up the cheapies with men on third and less than two outs.

He's been there and done that. He won some big games, he lost some tough games. He made some big plays, he missed some plays.

He's been smart and he's listened well. He's at the normal point of preparation for nationals. All the other things didn't help in the Grand Prix season, but he really missed training only for the Grand Prix season. Skipping the Grand Prix final gave us the time we needed to finally train and that was all he really needed.

He showed no ill effects. He got a little tired at the end, but I thought Darren played well. I'm glad to have him back. We missed him. He's a playmaker.

He should have seen the ship. It's hard to see how they missed it,

Hitting that first shot helped a lot. I felt like I was hot, even though I missed a lot of shots after that.

Hits I Missed - - and One I Didn't

His voice will be missed in the future.

Hockey is a confidence game and, when you are hurt, you lose some of that confidence. I'm really looking forward to the playoffs because I missed all those games early. I want to be in fine form and top shape and really have a good postseason.

He's a very, very good player. When he wants to hit it long, he just bombs it out there. He's got great hands and putts very well. I don't think he missed a whole lot of putts he had to make, maybe one.

He's a very versatile player and a switch-hitter. I think we missed having him when Greene got hurt. Plus, he's a quality guy in the clubhouse.

He's going to be missed for a long, long time. I don't want these guys to forget him. I don't want them to ever stop remembering him and what he was about. I think we all owe that to his legacy.

He's going to be 225 (pounds) in a heartbeat. He's got that frame. He's very versatile. I think some people missed the boat on him.

He's filling a vacancy and doing an outstanding job. It's going to be key for us to get our offense going. We missed some reads in the South Plainfield game that we hope to correct this week.

He's been invisible when important policy issues have sprung up. They just seem to have missed opportunity after opportunity.

He's been doing it every time out. We missed him when he was out, and now he's healthy and he's picking up where he left off.

He's been consistent all along. He's just picked it up where he left it last year and he hasn't missed a beat.

Hopefully we are getting towards the end of the problem because we've missed Danny. He gives us a different option and it's very frustrating because he's hardly kicked a ball for us this year.

There is, and will continue to be, I believe, an excess of 'dot-com' frenzy, where investors who feel they missed out on the first wave should jump in on the next wave, and so on.

When they pick the all-time missed field-goal coach, I'll probably get the award. We're masters at that.

We make sure our plans say we can do what we want to do and not have false expectations. Therefore there is not missed opportunities.

We must have missed at least a dozen three- or four-foot shots. We were in a position to win, and if we made half of those shots we probably would've been all right.

We must eliminate missed assignments and penalties to control the ball and sustain drives.

We looked kind of cold. We missed quite a few shots.

We made too many mistakes and missed too many opportunities to get some things done in the first quarter. We kept our defense on the field way too long, and that led to what happened us in the second quarter.

We made too many mistakes and missed too many opportunities. It just ended up lop-sided.

We made some plays down the stretch. While we didn't shoot free throws well (16-for-29) we made some big ones in the fourth quarter. And we rebounded three of our own missed free throws which was very important.

We made some mental mistakes and missed free throws in the second half. I thought we played hard. We just gave up too many second chance shots to them.

He wasn't supposed to run. He missed the sign and it cost us, but that's what happens when you play a veteran team like Florida.

He wasn't flashy, kind of a quiet guy, but with a deep, deep resolve. He had the heart of a champion, with all the things you think a great athlete should be. He was just the best. If there is a prototype for the Michigan man, I can't imagine anyone being more than that than Eric Namesnik. He will be missed for a long time.

He was in a group that could have made it or not made it. But I said there's no way we're going out of this country playing on a team without P.J. Tucker. That's one of the things the USA teams have missed in the past. We've taken cookie-cutter kids instead of kids with big hearts who know how to win.

He was here all winter, all spring, had a tremendous amount of consistency and made a lot of plays on the ball throughout the offseason. His misfortune was he missed almost all preseason.

He was serving big. I don't think he missed many forehands and his backhand was more solid than I'd expected after practicing with him a lot in December. He played a great set.

He was sent off at the 1998 World Cup, and now he missed two penalties against France and Portugal. Beckham appears to have a problem with nerves.

He was really missed last year in Detroit.

He was missed tremendously last year. He's a special player.

He was loading Christmas trees. It struck me how college and football is so different from grinding it out in the real world. He had stayed in touch, and I knew that he had qualified. I was proud of him. I could tell by his voice that he was excited. He said, 'Coach, I can't wait to get started.' He had missed football.

He was a great manager. He never missed a pitch. He had been a catcher, and one of the things he was very good at was that he knew when a pitcher was losing his stuff. He could anticipate so well. He just wouldn't wait until he was clobbered.

He was a great friend and will be sorely missed on both sides of the Atlantic.

He was a great employee of the athletic department and will be greatly missed by his co-workers and friends here at the university.

He was a fair and honest judge. He will be missed by many.

He wanted most to be remembered as a down-to-earth man, who just treated every customer fairly, ... I think he really enjoyed the business, and I think he missed his customers, but he enjoyed retirement, too.

He used to play sports, now he can't play sports anymore. At that time it was track season for me, so I related his situation to mine: What if that would have been me? I would have missed out on the whole track season and everything, so his (situation) really caught my attention.

He didn't miss one protection tonight, and I don't think he missed one against Ohio State.

He can stretch a defense. He's a big threat. They missed him in Game 2.

He definitely has proved why all the accolades have been thrown his way. He took over that game single-handedly. Unfortunately, we didn't have an answer. You can't do anything in terms of trapping or double-teaming him. Three-quarters of his points were off missed shots where he just wanted it more. For a coach that appreciates effort on the glass as much as I do, that was as an impressive performance as I've seen.

He coached me in AAU basketball as a kid. He missed maybe one of my games that I can think of. He was amazing. He'd drive to watch my sister Kate in Syracuse and then to Massachusetts and then back to William Paterson to watch Bridget. He always loved being a part of it.

Having a great ad campaign is not enough anymore. Any company wanting to succeed in selling nationwide needs to market with the following in mind: their audience in every area of the country; regional viewpoints and beliefs; purchasing drivers; information sources; -- and most of all -- what types of promotions (print, radio, TV, internet, etc.) work best in each given market. Many opportunities are being missed simply because marketers are unaware of the regional preferences affecting purchasing behavior.

He just never missed anything. It starts to wear on you after awhile, but that's what you have to do in match play wear your opponent down.

He just missed qualifying for state. He's coming out very, very strong and even looks a little more solid in his swing than last year.

He kept telling me he was ready and his dad told me he was ready. After we missed the extra point, I figured enough was enough.

He just decided he wanted to give football a fair shot. He missed it quite a bit and I think he liked the idea of playing with his brother.

He'll be missed very much. He's an icon. It'll be tough on them wrestling without him.

He left it up and out over the plate. I got lucky there. I got behind in the count and had a pitch earlier in the at-bat and missed it.

Guzman has missed a lot of time. He's very close. You don't know if he's quite ready. Certain guys need to pitch. He has missed parts of the last three years (with injuries).

Guys turned the ball over, and that kind of took us out of it. We had point-blank shots that we missed that we normally make.

Guys missed some pitches to hit. In the last two weeks, we really haven't. That's gonna happen.

Guys hit their free throws down the stretch. We got a few key rebounds and they missed some shots.

Guys have missed being with this team. That's the greatest thing, to get back together and start having fun again with your teammates.

Ham was a great senator and a great North Carolinian, but first and foremost he was a great American. He was the most special among us and he will be missed - God gave us the greatest when he gave us Ham.

Harris was trying to stand up for a teammate, as a good captain does. He's been a great leader for us, and we missed his presence on the field.

This was a good barometer for us. Pella shoots the ball a lot better than it shot (Tuesday) too, and I'd like to think our defense had a little bit to do with that. They missed a few shots inside and they have a tendency to snowball on you.

There are so many emotional stories in our lives that the cameras missed outside of the competition, which viewers never got to see. This online 'scrap book' gives us a chance to share the entire journey leading up to, and during the Games to really illustrate the ups and downs an athlete and their mom's experience along the road to becoming a U.S. Olympian.

I was like, 'I can't believed I missed that.' It was a one-in-a-million that I'd miss that. That goal could have taken us to OT. I wanted to win this one. I'm so bummed out right now. This one was tougher than our last lost to them. We had our chances, and that's what kills me. We had more chances.

I was in the right place at the right time . . . if I had missed that one, it would have been embarrassing,

Kevin just missed it. We had the tying runs on and Kevin at the plate. I'll take my chances with that most every game. Garcia won that battle and you have to tip your cap to him.

Ken's shoulder has been bothering him. He missed practice the last two days, but was willing to go out there. In the end, we just decided against it.

I wouldn't say I missed it, I did not miss it for a good three months. I guess subconsciously I knew I was out. I was going to be out for a long time. I think I just wanted to shut myself off. Not watch it or read about it or anything like that and concentrate on other things in my life.

I would've missed the leaves changing. When fall hit, that's when it would have hurt me.

James goes after hitters, he really challenges them in the zones. He missed the zone and walked a few guys but he has confidence in his stuff and came back to get out of a jam.

I would say we missed more than we counted.

Katie was really lucky because she had her handbag on the floor at the table and when they marched us off, they sort of missed it.

Kayla is our most consistent player. She's our starting point guard. She's a captain. She hasn't missed a practice in two years.

(Kansas) is really a great state, and the people there are very friendly, and there is an incredible sense of community. But, I grew up at the foot of Pike's Peak and I really missed the mountains. My family is all here. This is where I play, live and work.

Just one statement would be: missed opportunities. We didn't get that one big hit, that stolen base or take advantage of a mental mistake they made. It's just frustrating, more than anything.

Joe was a lovely well-mannered boy and he's going to be greatly missed by all his teachers, his friends and his fellow pupils at St Gabriel's High School.

Josh had a phenomenal season. He never missed a practice. He came to get extra workouts in. He worked hard and he sought advice from the coaches to improve and he showed up to every meet ready to wrestle for the team.

John Kerry's rhetoric on the campaign trail is hiding a long list of missed votes and empty promises on the issues he claims are priorities.

John Entwistle. 1944-2002. You will be missed by all.

Judge Michael was a wonderful person and will be sorely missed by his colleagues on the bench and the other members of our court family,

J.J. is going to get the looks. Sure, he missed his first four 3-pointers, but we knew he'd come back and hit the shots. We expect him to hit them and we look for him all the time.

It actually missed every single major hub airport in the United States, at least a direct hit that is. As a result, the system was not damaged that much as far as passenger traffic throughout the rest of the United States.

I talked to the guys about maximizing their opportunities. We missed seven or eight easy baskets in the first half, and I thought we needed to do much better in the second half.

I think it just took a couple wins, just a couple successes. Not going out and having bad things happen all the time. Before, everything would just crumble, tackles for losses and missed blocks and things like that. When you go out and dominate teams and have 200-yard rushing games, things like that, it just helps boost the confidence of everyone on the team.

I think I played well today. I just missed some really important shots.

I think in the whole game I may have only missed five plays, and that was just because (the coaches) put somebody else in during that time. I actually feel all right. A little sore, but I had a deep-tissue massage the other day, so that could be what some of my soreness could be.

I think in that first quarter we could have been out by a lot more. We missed some easy shots.

It came down to this - we had (11) penalties, five turnovers, two missed field goals, dropped balls, missed tackles, bad coverage, ... So it doesn't get any worse than that. We just self-destructed. We were awful.

It came down to free throws. We were right there, but missed fouls shots took the air right out of us.

I take all the blame for that. I didn't get the call and missed the play.

I think it's just having the opportunity to play. She missed a lot of the beginning of the year with an injury. I'm sure she was hungry to play.

I think it's dramatically overdone. The only area that they missed was in the optical systems business.

I think it's huge just to get him back on the field. His leadership, his determination, his abilities, his threat of scoring goals, it's just exciting to have him back. We've missed him.

It could have been 4-0 in the first half. Unfortunately we missed our chances and let Hamburg get back into the game.

I thought when we were down 1-0, we had an opportunity on the power play. We had an empty net and missed it. That was probably the biggest chance we had in the game. We have to be able to score on those chances.

It is about time. I've had a couple of chances called back. In the first half, I missed one tonight that I should have scored, so it is nice to finally contribute. The first one is always the hardest. It has always been that way. Hopefully I can relax a little bit and be a better target forward for my teammates.
