Picked Quotations | Page 3

We heard that it picked up during the day. It's very healthy.

We did our part and we didn't get the help we needed from Dominican. I'm just happy that our kids got the job done. Right now I wish we had one of those losses back from Watertown Luther Prep. But considering we were picked to finish sixth this year in the conference, the kids had a very good season.

We didn't want to get blown out or get embarrassed, being that it's an Eastern Conference team. We picked it up.

We didn't try to full-court press them as we did last time. They picked us apart last time. (Tonight) we played defense under the 3-point line and made them earn their points.

We didn't take them lightly, but we just didn't come out as pumped up as we do every game. I think we came out a little soft, but we picked it up in the second half. We just had to get the win any way we could.

We have received plenty of word-of-mouth referrals in the past five years because of the expertise we continue to gain in handling nonprofits. Some accounting firms have decreased their focus on nonprofits or have left the Winston-Salem market, so we have picked up clients that way as well.

We have picked a team of athletes who we believe will benefit from this type of intense competition in the lead-up to the 2007 FINA world championships and the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

We have picked a squad that is flexible and will be able to adapt,

We have picked a side to win against Japan. The players selected are those in form.

We've sort of came from nowhere this year. We were picked fifth in our conference (Olympic) and no one expected a lot out of us. We've had our seniors really step up and as far as the 14 individuals on our team, they've all contributed in some way.

The reality is that people picked themselves up very quickly.

When I'd get out of school in the afternoon, I would go to the golf course, and I just picked the game up. And when I was 13 years old, I could shoot 70 - even-par 71, one over par and then something like that. I just took a liking to the game.

We used to laugh at Grandpa when he'd head off and go fishing. But we wouldn't be laughing that evening when he'd come back with some whore he picked up in town.

We used to have food picked and used to have houses built and we used to have chicken properly processed and it was Americans that did it. If we are going to continue to utilize those goods, then what's going to have to happen is that the employers are going to have to elevate the wages in order to attract American workers to do those jobs.

We have a number of guys on this team that have been cut by other teams that really we picked up off the street, guys that weren't given a chance in other organizations to play, for whatever reason. The powers that be decided they didn't have the talent to play at this level, and these guys have come in and been starters for us.

This program has been very informative and has touched upon seemingly every fundamental aspect of business. I own a minority interest in an arena football team (San Diego Riptide), and I feel I've picked up some new skills that will help me grow that business.

This win shows progress. We don't want to get ahead of ourselves, though. A lot of people picked us to finish last in the conference, so it would be nice to prove them wrong.

We had been in a shooting slump from mid-January to mid-February. We kept telling the kids to be patient. We kept hoping for a night like this and we picked a great night to do it.

When I look at us, I see a young, exciting team. And with the guys we picked up, I can't wait to get to spring training and see it all unfold.

When I compared the two schools, here the faculty had a much stronger emphasis on environmental education. I'm very glad I picked here.

When I came on, last year's coach had already picked captains. And they have been nothing but exceptional.

When I became the director of FEMA a couple of years ago, I decided it was time we did some really serious catastrophic disaster planning. So the president gave me money through our budget to do that. And we went around the country to figure out what's the best model we can do for a catastrophic disaster in this country? And we picked New Orleans, Louisiana.

When I became director of CIA, it was just clear to me intuitively, without a whole lot of science behind it, that we had expanded rapidly and inefficiently. So I arbitrarily picked a number, 10 percent, and I said over the next 12 months, we are going to reduce our reliance on contractors by 10 percent.

When you build a tradition like this one, it's always the kids that fill roles that put you over the top. Take Cooper, he's picked up some huge wins for us this year.

When this came up, The Renaissance Group just picked an area that they saw needed help, ... They're willing to go to other areas, but they have to go somewhere first.

When the students are gone for the summer, you can zip through town. I have had to leave home at least 45 minutes to an hour early in order to get through Greenville Boulevard because traffic has picked up.

When the show was picked up for 13 episodes and we knew we were moving there, my daughter Kyle started crying. She said they were tears of happiness.

We made a fantastic run in the fourth quarter. We sort of sleep-walked through three quarters, but picked up our game in the fourth.

We're similar in regard to the record, but we're different types of teams. We play a little different style. We haven't talked about that at all. I think our team has kind of flown under the radar, even though we're 22-0. We're probably one of the least-known undefeated teams that's ranked No. 5 in the state. I like that. I think it's because our kids and I never talked about being undefeated. That was never our goal. We weren't even picked to win the conference.

(LSU) coach (Pokey Chatman) challenged me in the locker room at halftime to get as many boards as possible. I just picked up my energy in the second half.

Making a choice is like backing a horse-in a hundred years, they may decide you picked wrongly.

Maggie really gave us a big boost. She picked up that third foul and I was a little worried about it. But we brought her in and she was instant offense for us. That's what seniors do.

(Los Banos) picked it up a little bit and we didn't respond real well to it. The bottom line is that we had them on the rope and then gave up a couple threes for a 6-0 run.

Last year they had a guy hand it to him that he didn't know. This year they said they wanted to personalize it a little bit. I'm not sure if he picked me to do it or if it was somebody at Duke or somebody with the award itself.

Last year's game greatly motivated us. We knew our offense was good enough to win. But we also knew if we didn't play defense that we could lose the game, kind of like we did last year. We picked up the defense, picked up the intensity and took the win.

Last year, we kind of picked up where we left off. We came out and beat Laurel, handing them their only regular-season loss.

So, in a matter of I think 15 or 20 minutes, we have five truants picked up.

She stepped up and did what she was supposed to do. It picked the morale of the team up also and just helped out a bunch.

She took a drop from one of those (electric cart) tracks and I just told her that she didn't mark her ball when she picked it up, ... So I told her for future reference to always mark the golf ball. She had a good drop, but you need to know where to put the ball.

She went to church every day. A neighbor picked her up every morning. But when he drove past that morning, he noticed the victim was not at the curb. He knocked on the door, but (got) no response.

She set a slow pace and I got kind of trapped into it. In the second set, I picked up the pace and that forced her to start making errors. My shots weren't so good, but with the crowd behind me, I willed myself to win.

She's picked up where she left off last year. She's the best distance runner in the conference.

She's picked her game up and come a long way.

She's picked all those areas up. Her scoring is pretty much where it was, but there is more of her going to the hoop and the foul line. She's really picked up her defense and rebounding.

She's our best defender and has picked it up on both ends of the floor.

She said that he picked up her son and threw him on the floor. He said that the little boy had fell off the couch, but that she had threw his little girl.

Old women especially are invisible. I have been to parties where no one knows who I am, so I am ignored until I introduce myself to someone picked at random. Immediately, word gets round, and I am surrounded by people who tell me they are my biggest fans.

Somebody has to be the favorite, somebody has to be picked to win the bronze, and somebody has to be picked to finish seventh. There's a lot of talk about us ? not in those first two categories, but the third. To me, that's irrelevant.

Some children say, 'Yeah, I used to have a closet in my room, and now I don't have a closet or a window,' ... You see and talk to folks who have lost everything to be excited about looking for clothes -- 'How do you think this will fit my 2-year-old?' There were cardboard boxes filled with clothes, so they just picked three things to find things that will get them through the next day.

She canceled her trip to be here. She wanted to attend Senior Nationals and then she got picked to be on it.

She has picked her game us tremendously, and she's only a sophomore, and I don't think she realizes how much she contributes to the team.

She hasn't picked up a glove in over a year and hasn't skipped a beat. She's a role model for the underclassmen. It's great having her back.

She fits into our system well and that is why we picked her up. We've been lucky. You can't replace Ann Wauters but what you get off the bench with Cathrine and (La'Keshia) Frett is what makes the difference.

Shane was on fire. He was absolutely unconscious and he carried us. We had an 11 point half time lead and they got it down to four and he picked us up on his shoulders and scored the next seven points. He wasn't going to let us lose. In the third alone he scored 11 points and they only scored nine.

Shamrock started out as a pro-wrestler years before he got into fighting. When he started with WWE he picked it up again very fast. He actually turned into a really good worker and adapted to the WWE style, meaning he did more than just shoot-style stuff.

Since we picked the scrub jay this year it was only natural to work with Oscar Scherer. The Florida scrub here is the most endangered environment in America.

Since then, we just picked it up, and hopefully, we just don't look back.

Since the losses, the intensity has picked up a little more. I guess we're not getting away with as much now. She's gone back to the old ways of being tough, really.

Sixteen and oh is definitely a possibility. But our focus is on the next game. We've picked up our intensity on the defensive end.

(Sioux Falls) picked up their intensity on defense, caused some turnovers, and we just didn't get anything out of our offense.

She's a force on the mound. She's definitely improved from last year to this year. She worked very hard on her pitches. She picked up speed and she picked up movement on the ball. You definitely can see the confidence in the team when she's on the mound.

She paid it all off, but somebody never picked up on that.

She outshines everybody else. After two months of practice and one-and-a-half months of games, she was noticed by the West Chester coach and she was picked to up to U-19 trials. That's the best of all.

Most of the untranscribed and unpublished manuscripts in the book popped out of boxes at me when I wasn't looking for them; I picked them up out of the corner of my eye.

Mike has played great. One thing we noticed in practice is his competitiveness. He's not afraid to go in and battle for rebounds. He's picked things up quickly.

Mike has picked things up very quickly -- he is an excellent pass blocker, which allows us to keep him in the game in all our one back formations. He is still a work in progress.

Mineral Wells picked it up in the second half and made it a much better game.

Mr. Brown should have picked up the phone and called the secretary right away.

Mother Nature could not have picked a better sore spot for the energy industry. It's already taken a big blow on the right cheek, and now it's taking a blow on the left cheek.

Moving from the theological to the practical implications of Sony's snafu, the company couldn't have picked a worse time to offend its customers. Sony has already conceded a six-month head start to competitor Microsoft in the upcoming market-share battle for the next generation of game consoles. Microsoft's Xbox 360 is expected to debut this fall; Sony's PlayStation 3 will not arrive until the spring of 2006.

Maturity? There are things that come with experience - managing your craft. What I've picked up since my earlier music is not profundity.

Megan maybe is putting too much pressure on herself in the starting position, because this is two games in a row that it's happened. She's picked up over-the-back calls, things she knows better (than to do).

Me and this other gentleman, I don't know his name, I know he was from Argentina, he picked up the baby and we tried to get to higher ground.

One of the two strongest clues that the Orlando Police Department is sharing with the media is the scent that was picked up in the woods.

One role blends into the next role. I mean, there's strange idiosyncrasies from roles that I play that I picked up that will never go away.

One problem is that it may not show up in dead birds in the field because they get weak and picked of by predators.

One of the announcers, Seth Davis, picked us to lose the game. I think that's something that grabbed our attention right away. We don't want to just be a happy team just to get into the tournament. We want to go there to win some games.

Obviously we've lost a bunch of tough games this year. Then we pretty much got blown out two days in a row. For our guys to bounce back, it says something about our guys. ... Guys picked it up.

None of us played any good, to be honest. The wind picked up, the golf course changes immensely. I was just a little quick. I don't know whether it was the wind or nerves or whatever it was.

Nature picked up and reclaimed the role that we were prepared to take on. We're confident now that we'll have more than enough water to be able to get up to the target.

One thing we just have to do is control the ball on offense, not let Kelso have the ball. That's the easiest way to prevent them from putting points on the board. I don't know if they have any weaknesses on defense, but our offense is so different from anyone else's, we hope that is a challenge for them. That's one of the reasons we picked this offense.

My first girlfriend broke up with me on a yellow legal pad. After she picked me up from the airport one day, she took out a letter that her therapist wrote, and she read it to me. She and her therapists wrote a letter breaking up with me together.

My daughter and I had never seen the ocean. They picked us up on the bus and took us to Cape Cod. That bus is the most beautiful vehicle I have ever seen.

Mum worked as a secretary for Orson Welles for what sounded like a very miserable year. Her brother was the actor Jeremy Brett, who became famous for playing Sherlock Holmes. He was an absolutely lovely man. Very exciting and glamorous, he'd always make me feel amazing and full of confidence, like I'd picked the right thing to do in life.

My backhand fell apart and he really took advantage of it. He just picked on my weakness, and that's what he's supposed to do.

More people are killed getting hit by debris than ever get picked up by tornadoes, like Toto in the 'Wizard of Oz'. The best thing you can do is get to a safe zone, as quickly as possible.

Morales is a kid that gets limited at bats but he picked up three hits and the big grand slam. Clay (Glover) hit the ball hard four times today and we need to find a way to get him in the lineup. We have three or four guys that are really (designated hitters), so we have to be able to get his bat out there on a daily basis.

More than the length, it's the fact that every ball is backing up. Every ball picked up mud. That's the hardest thing in the world. You can have length, and you can have longer shots to the green, but if you don't have a clean ball, it makes for a very difficult golf shot.

(Monday) night we struggled real bad without Josh Smith in the lineup, but we stick him back in there and we saw exactly what he can do and what he means to our team. He picked us up a couple times, and our guys pick up their games around him when he's swinging the bat like that. I was real pleased to see him back in there helping our team.

My father was a pioneer in so many ways. He was fearless, and I think that I kind of picked that up from him as well.

Now, when someone calls and says, 'You haven't picked up my trash,' we can get on the computer and find out how long it took us to pick up the trash after they called,

NSW will also be strong but you can't discount the other teams. NSW and Tasmania won the two competitions last year and nobody would have picked them at the start of the season.

Nat picked up two quick ones and they were attacking her well. It was just one of those things.

Obviously, this was the tallest building in town. I'm guessing it was six or seven stories tall. It had a massive head house where it picked up the grain. There was a pit outside where vehicles dumped grain. In the middle of the building was a big elevator that lifted the grain to the top of the structure and then moved it to the proper storage areas. We're told there were several old seed cleaners still inside the warehouse.

Obviously, Sunday is our day. We picked up some hitting after a slow start and we had timely hitting. This team is young. They are learning how to win and win close games.
