Sixth Quotations | Page 2

From my music training, I knew that, some Spanish rhythms apart, 5/4 is a time signature used only in the modern era. Holst's Mars from the Planets is 5/4. But if you speak lines of poetry in that pattern you just end up hitting the off-beats. It's only when you add a rest - a sixth beat - that it sounds as it surely should sound.

From sixth grade on I was a real Pillsbury doughboy. Overweight, long hair, thick glasses.

I don't think we've ever had a conference this deep. You look at our situation. We're a team that is 15th in RPI and the sixth seed. You're going to have some teams that in a normal situation would be getting a bye but in this conference they are going to be playing Wednesday night.

I don't think you can play for that. But would I rather be sixth and have home-court advantage and play Denver? Yes. I don't want to give Denver something to put up on the bulletin board. Obviously, I'd rather be at home to start the playoffs. It would great to be home. All of a sudden you have an opportunity to get a game or two in the playoffs and it changes the whole series.

If a child says it has five senses, their parents will surely believe that it has the sixth one as well.

For the sixth time in five years, federal courts have now blocked or struck down these state and local laws seeking to regulate the sale of games to minors based on their content.

If it wasn't for my brother, I probably would have never wrestled. He got me hooked on it back in the sixth grade. I've fallen in love with it since.

If someone gets us going, we usually do all right, and if no one does by the sixth or seventh, we usually get shut out. The same thing happened (Tuesday) night. A couple of guys get it going, and you have a big hit.

He's comfortable being the best sixth man in college basketball.

He had no strength in the elbow, no use in his whole left side, so we didn't want to risk any further injury. Looking at the big picture, he took sixth as a sophomore and beat some quality kids.

He had a blister that was heating up in the sixth inning. Hopefully, he'll get to the point where he can go another inning, but between the blister and his pitch count, we wanted to be careful.

He got out there and did what we asked him to do. We had a good plan going in. He had a great first four innings, and then the fifth, sixth and seventh it looked like they got after him a little bit. He fought through it and made big pitches when he needed to.

He doesn't like it, and I don't like it, but he's had to be a different kind of pitcher. He's sixth in the league in strikeouts looking, which means he still has good stuff, he's just had to adjust. He'll get better.

He gave me a lot of confidence. I remember after the sixth game, Whitey Ford beat us and I said to Pee Wee Reese, 'Don't worry. I'll shut them out.' I was just kidding. But I didn't feel there was any pressure on me. If I beat them, great. If not, I wasn't supposed to, anyway. They were the Yankees. I slept good the night before. The Yankees probably figured I couldn't do it again and the Dodgers had never beaten them, so they weren't worried. Neither was I. There was no pressure on me.

He made a tremendous play. That's why he's going to be a superstar in this league. It just adds insult to injury when it's the sixth goal in a blowout game. But it was certainly exciting for the fans to see.

He came through big. He had one tough inning, but our guys came through for him. Once in a while, you have to have a little help. Roy kept the game at bay early on. We had a tough sixth inning, and then we responded.

There is evidence that we are headed into what would be the planet's sixth mass extinction. It's hard to know for sure if you're in one because a mass extinction is an event where over 75 percent of the species on the planet die out over a - usually about a million-year period. The fastest it might happen is in hundreds of thousands of years.

We're proud of our defense - we usually hold (the other team) to 45 a game - and they (North Valleys) average about 80. It's gonna be a battle. We haven't been successful with high-scoring teams. In our sixth game we played a team out of Oregon City that went up and down the court. We didn't match up well with them. Same with a Logan, Utah team, which beat us convincingly.

When Howard hit that home run, I thought here we go, ... You know and when Kenny (Lofton) made those two catches in the sixth that really got us charged up.

We talk about us having six starters. Whoever that sixth person is going to be coming off the bench, they've got to be a spark, and Nicky did a great job of that.

We are fourth, fifth and sixth in the state. We easily could be one, two and three. We are not that far off. I'm sure we are all looking forward to finding out.

Had he kept his nose clean and gone back to school next year, a first-round selection would have been a very, very distinct possibility. But now with all the trouble that he's had, from arrests, obviously, the on-field stuff, the maturity concerns, I think he's going to fall, for sure to day two, and I can see a case where he falls to maybe the sixth or seventh round.

Having Oak Manor as a sixth grade center is fabulous. Having one grade here at the school has been a lot easier. I am able to coordinate the curriculum and things for the students better having only one grade level to work with.

He's been pretty focused since he took sixth last year. He walked off pretty disgusted with himself and since then, he's said to me and said to himself this year he's turning it around. He's trying to move to the top spot.

He's been wanting to do this forever, ... Mike began writing in sixth grade.

He's been everything for us. I don't know if there is a better sixth man in the state. We know we're not going to get a harder worker.

Hopefully we can get somebody who can run. I want a second hitter so we can put Iguchi down in the sixth or seventh spot to get more (run production) out of him.

The Pac-10 is wide open. If we lose two games on this trip, we'll go from first to sixth in a hurry. We can't let that happen.

We looked at this team and where we were and knew it was time to rebuild. We were the sixth oldest team in the league. We needed youth, enthusiasm and potential ... I've been involved with teams like this a few times. We did it in Milwaukee. We did it in Cleveland. We can do it here.

Hunter came up big. It's nice to see him succeed. Last year I called him my sixth starter. He didn't start a game last year. But this summer he made up his mind to become a better shooter. He has come up big and worked so hard. I'm happy to see him do well.

He was our sixth man all year and gave us a spark off the bench. He brought a lot of energy.

He was really a neophyte when I first read his work. The O'Neill had rejected it five times, but the sixth time one of my readers said he had improved a great deal. He had learned to write dialogue, and now he was learning to write confrontations between two people.

He was here about a year before he moved in with me, and we were the sixth actual house he'd been in in a year's time.

He'd been disgruntled since the sixth inning, so it was time for him to go.

He just didn't have it. I just don't think that it's a good idea to pat a guy on the back for getting to the sixth inning when he was ineffective for three innings. ... He's capable of so much better than that.

Greg battled to get out of trouble. In the sixth inning, he got out of a bases-loaded jam. We're just happy to get out of here with a win.

Kirk came in and was great on the boards. He made shots. He was a good sixth man off the bench. He definitely helped me out (being in foul trouble).

I would say that 90 percent of everyone involved with Martell felt like it would behoove him to go to college initially. But he was given such a great opportunity as the sixth pick, it was hard for him to turn down.

Keith Richards uses a Telecaster, but he takes the sixth string off and tunes it to G. And that's what The Rolling Stones use all the time.

Katie still pitched a great game. The cold weather made her a little tight in the sixth inning, but she was still able to work out of the jams.

I think in the first half, you saw a case of the nerves. We were happy to be here, but I told the guys there was more work to be done. I told them we had nothing to lose. We were the sixth seed, playing a team that had beaten us twice. I told them nobody expected us to win.

I thought about (the no-hitter) before the sixth inning and that's the worst thing I could have done. I have to stop thinking and have confidence in myself and pull through for my team.

Last night at the pasta party, we stressed no sixth places. We said no sixth places and that will bring the title and it worked out. All of the guys in the outside lanes were just pushing for it and we got it.

Last May was a huge SUV month -- the sixth best ever for Ford,

I thought we did a great job offensively to start out the game and set a tone early. I thought we did that and came up with some big hits. Cassidy threw a great game today, got into a little bit of a lull in the middle but came out and closed it out in the sixth to eight-run rule it. I was really proud of the kids today.

I thought we'd be sixth or seventh after the first day.

I think we earned some respect by getting a sixth seed. And if we didn't, we'll go out and try to earn some more.

I think we're a team of destiny. I really do feel that way because every senior on our team has been together since the sixth grade. And we all said in the sixth grade that we will be at the final four. And it just happened that way, and I feel like this is our year.

I thought our pitching was pretty good today. The Angels have a good team but we pitched well, hit pretty well and defensively played well. That one lapse in the sixth inning hurt us, obviously.

I think what's really special about going undefeated and winning the division is what they faced in the first season, when they didn't get their first win until the sixth game of that season.

It got bad in the sixth round seeing guys from the Big 12 and guys I played against go ahead of me. I knew I wasn't just a seventh-round pick, and seeing that, it got to me. But after knowing why, it made me feel better. And going to Miami is obviously not a bad place.

I think sometimes it's difficult to run something by committee; the management of both companies are strong-willed types of individuals. They both have their own way of doing things. That makes it hard to have the flow you need and to create the sixth network.

Last year I was coming in as a sixth or seventh guy. I did not have much confidence and I did not know if I was cracking the lineup consistently.

Just because they're the sixth seed, that doesn't mean anything. Not this year in our league. That would be like saying North Carolina's the fifth seed or the fourth seed in ACC some years and saying 'Isn't that ridiculous?' No. It's just because the league's so good.

Jeff Stallings was one of the top pitchers in the conference. We lost him towards the end of last year and that really hurt us. Joey Devine was one of the top pitchers ever in this conference, which he proved by what he did after he left here, making the big leagues in two months. Phil Davidson who was so versatile and played so many roles for us. He started, he came in in the sixth inning, came in the third, spot-started. He even closed some games. Phil was amazing for us. When a guy can do that many things for you, you're not just missing one pitcher; it's like you're missing three.

I wrote a play in sixth grade called Swing High, Swing Low. It was about Dolly, a girl who lives in the suburbs and goes to New York to be an artist.

Korea is the sixth largest car market in the world, and companies need the distribution network that Daewoo has. It also is a good platform with its low cost small car to move into China. It might not be the hottest one at the dance, but it's the only single one.

Last week we lost three one-games to Oswego, and every time we led in the sixth inning or beyond. We really needed this one. There's a lot of parity in the league this year, and you can't afford to have an off night or somebody will get you.

I see a lot of them from third grade right through sixth grade. What I like most is seeing them return each year with more confidence.

'Irma Voth' is my sixth book, but it's only the third time I've featured Mennonite settings and characters.

Our pitchers set a miserable tone from the outset. We got burned. The amazing thing is we were within two runs of being run-ruled in the sixth inning. I'm really proud of our offensive team. It didn't quit, it didn't give up.

Our goal is always to make it to state. Winning here is a nice bonus, but you could finish sixth here and still win state.

Our crowd here is amazing, and they are our sixth man.

Our bullpen stepped up in a big way. We were fortunate to get out of the sixth inning with no damage. Whether we won or lost today is not going to matter in the long run, but with the win today we can carry our momentum forward into the next games.

Our bullpen is very solid. If we have the lead going into the sixth or seventh inning, we feel real good about our chances to win the game. Our relief pitchers have been pitching very well and we hope that continues throughout the rest of the season.

Pitchers today are only expected to pitch into the sixth inning. I read where a pitcher pitched deep into the sixth inning. Isn't that something? Deep into the sixth inning.

Pitchers today are only expected to pitch into the sixth inning.

Records? I don't really care about that record. The biggest record is that we were the sixth seed and we came in and shocked the world.

Our offense waited until the sixth inning to come alive, but at least it did and put some insurance runs on the board.

Our offense has a lot of potential, but it took them 12 games to finally break out and show what they can do. It was truly enjoyable to watch their approach in the fifth and sixth innings.

Our offense got going after he moved to third. We moved him from ninth to eighth to sixth to third, which is a rough responsibility for a player in his first year in the big leagues, and he hasn't blinked.

Our No. 6 guy, Steve Benoit, is a hockey player, and he came in and sealed the victory for us. We were neck and neck with Harwood ? they were up by one stroke coming into the sixth group ? and Steve came in with a 42, which was one of the best scores of the day.

Starting off, we had a little trouble adjusting to their pitchers. By the time we got to the sixth inning our girls started adjusting real well.

Starting from 19th place with a full tank and finishing sixth is obviously a lot better than I expected, so it was a very good race for me. The only problem I had was warming up the tires after the numerous safety car phases. We have to have a look at this to improve the situation but otherwise our pace was good.

That ball to the outfield (Russell's triple) was the first real hard hit ball Taylor gave up. He just lost it in the sixth and we had to make a change. Matt just wasn't comfortable on the mound, so we went to Bob.

Natasha (Anderson) pitched a heck of a game, and Amy (Hale) had a big home run for us. This win was big because Tennessee-Martin, Eastern Illinois and us are fighting for the fifth and sixth spots in the conference tournament, so coming away with the win today for us was a must.

Lo is consistent. He's quietly consistent if you knew him. He doesn't say much. He's a solid player that is going to hit the open shot. He's a nice sixth man to have. I really consider him our sixth starter.

I was totally surprised when he ejected me. I was just trying to get a little extra on a 1-2 pitch. It went up and in and hit the guy. No way I was trying to hit the guy in the sixth inning with us trying to win a game.

I was trying to slow the ball down and they were trying to push the ball. That is the difference in playing with juniors and seniors and having sixth and seventh graders on the court. They wanted to push the ball and get some points. I wanted to pull the ball out and run time off the clock.

I was very happy to get back home. I was voted off on the sixth day. I was pretty much there a week.

I was happy with how we played in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. But it was too little, too late.

I was fairly impressed. We couldn't do anything, and he was still out there in the sixth inning and still getting people out.

I think our team is a good team. A lot of teams -- (AT) was up 5-1 in the sixth and our No. 1 pitcher was the guy who started the game -- could have just laid down. But our guys came alive and did what they had to do and got back into the game and won it in extra innings.

I think primarily the reason we did better was we concentrated on teaching fewer players what to do. It kind of gets you every now and then, but I thought Sammie (Salazar) came in and did a really good job. That gave us a sixth man that we needed.

It doesn't feel as good (playing the first day) as we were the only team left that had never played on Thursday. I'm disappointed that we didn't finish higher but I understand how good the league is and somebody had to finish sixth or seventh.

It doesn't matter to us. We want to play Nashville right now because that means we finished fourth or fifth. We're just trying to finish as high as we can. If we end up finishing sixth and we play these guys, that will be fun, too. If we win the last three games, we have a shot at home ice, so that's our goal right now. After that, it doesn't really matter if it's Nashville, Calgary, Dallas, whoever.

I think he can be a great 4-3 end. If he puts a hand on the ground, he will bring the heat. And he'll do it every play. A guy might get him for four or five plays, but on the fifth or sixth play, he'll get you. He's at full speed all the time.

Man, it had to be fifth or sixth grade. I was probably 10 or 11 years old. He was probably in his early 20s by then, taking the world by storm already.

We (NRCS) went to Wiley, Alta Vista and Lamar Middle School to speak to sixth graders about conservation practices.

We never played the disrespect angle. We knew what it was. It wasn't disrespect. It was us being the sixth seed, so it wasn't disrespect. No one believed we could do it but us. We didn't feel disrespected, we just knew we were a better football team than people portrayed us to be.

The 2006 season should be the best yet as many of these players are embarking on their sixth season.

The Apprentice' continues to be a top performer for NBC so we're pleased that the show and Donald Trump will continue to play a key role in this network's future through a fifth and now sixth cycle, ... We think viewers will agree that a California back-drop, with Donald's West Coast business interests and relationships, will provide an exciting new flavor for the series next season.

The arm strength and stamina's there. I felt good in the sixth inning, made some good pitches and got them 1-2-3. It's definitely nice to go out there in the sixth and put up a zero.

The American people are going to give the President a second look here in his sixth year because he?s engineering these changes. That?s helpful. He needs the country to give him a second look.

That was great. Our fans have such great enthusiasm. They're the sixth man on the ice for us. It's an intimidation factor.

That was a very cool and emotional moment, and something I'll always remember. We beat Cheboygan for our sixth win, Mr. Hart was watching the game, and when he came down on the field after, he got the ball out of respect for the relationship he had with the community and athletics here.

That's the type of thing Jerry would take as a challenge. But it's great they worry about my sixth man.

That's the sixth compromise offer we have made in the last seven days, and the musicians' union has made none.

I was really happy with what the divers did all year long. The diving competition was more of a relaxed atmosphere, which allowed the divers to let it all out and not be worried. Michael Bennett became our sixth and final NCAA zone qualifier. So all of our divers qualified for the NCAA zone meet. I did not expect that to happen, but I think that it is great that it did.

I was never forced to write. At least, I was never forced or even encouraged to write fiction. Creative writing wasn't in the curriculum at my school when I was in sixth grade.
