Spot Quotations | Page 6

Most of the questions asked are just the ones that put you on the spot a bit, and you've just got to think - and I'm not really good at that,

We now start a five-game home stand and hope to seal up a playoff spot while we are at it.

The 5-on-3 at the end of the first, they played it very well. They had the penalty killers working really hard. They didn't give us much. Credit to them, but there was a lot of hockey after that. When you spot that team three goals you're fighting an uphill battle.

The animal was lying down and then wandered off. Van Cortlandt Park is home to many wild animals, including deer and turkey, and it is not altogether unusual to spot a coyote.

That was a sore spot for tonight. But our kids will produce. I know when they get back in that position they will be all right.

That was the one bright spot for us offensively. Offensively he gave us what he could. He has not been in a game for almost three weeks now. He is tired and his foot is still sore.

That was the most fun game I've had all year. I was caught in a spot where I wasn't needed at all, pretty much. I was just kinda sitting there.

That was three freshmen and a sophomore. Zach showed a lot of speed in his 100 leg of the relay, so he looks like he'll be a good competitor in the 100 for us, and could be competing for a top three spot in the long jump.

That will create some good competition at that spot and all those young men know if they don't win that job that they'll play somewhere else. All are athletic enough to play a lot of different spots.

The 10th spot is a very good spot for us to be in. I think that if we stay there we're assured we'll get an excellent football player.

That was a little strange, sharing a spot on the podium. I had never done that before.

That was probably my most solid hit in the past year. It hit right on the sweet spot and I thought I had at least a double.

That's two in a row on the road after 16 straight losses. This season is not over until after game 82. That eighth spot is anybody's and is up for grabs now.

That's the one spot on the field that if you hit it with the right spin on the ball it's going to carry. He couldn't pick a better time for it.

That's the most unselfish, smartest spot in the lineup. You have to be able to handle the bat. It's also a position that won't run as much because then they'll walk D-Lee. It's a position for a more established, accomplished veteran player.

That's the most time Alex has gotten all season. She did a real nice job in a difficult spot for us.

That's a veteran crew. I was told they didn't see it, and they decided to come back to the spot on the play. I'm going to trust their judgment. I thought it was a fumble, even on the screen. But I'm going to let it go.

That's a tough spot to put yourself into, with one of the best RBI guys ever. I wish he would have hit it a little harder. We might have had a chance to turn two. But Figgins made a nice play just to get the one out and keep it a one-run game.

That's a tough situation, but it is how it is set up and people are going to have to play for it. We're going to try to play and play for that No. 1 spot and try to work it from there.

That's a tough road right there, going from the first or second spot to the fourth spot and having to play the No. 1 seed in the earlier rounds. It's a tough situation, but it is what it is.

That's a tough position to play. It's a lot like playing corner. You're put there on an island. It's not all that easy to give a left tackle help. A lot of times you can't give him help . . . To play out there, on the blind side of the quarterback, and still be physical in the running game, it's a tough spot to play.

That's a tough loss. They're a direct opponent for a spot in the playoffs and we let that one slip away in the second period.

I was pretty shocked to catch it. I wanted to get to the spot and give it a good shot. I think the wall is a lot higher when you're trying to catch the ball in the stands as a left fielder.

I was quite nervous about whether I could throw out the ball and hit it spot on. He didn't even have to move to catch it. I was quite happy.

I wasn't sure when to push it or what to expect. Now I know what to expect. Hopefully, I'll be able start mixing everything together and see how it goes. As of now, I'm planning on pitching opening day. If not, I'll pitch on the fifth day. I guarantee I'll have one spot in the rotation.

I would love do a guest spot on 'Castle' because Nathan Fillion is so dreamy, and he and I are friends. And I think we could have a lot of fun.

I would love to start up there -- that's what I want. If I don't get it, I just need to keep working to get up there. But it feels good to know that there is a shot right now. I know I missed a whole year, but to have the chance to compete for a spot on the roster is all I can ask for.

My breaking ball was working real well. I could spot my pitches well today.

My biggest goal was being healthy. I figured if I was healthy then there was a need for me. How I fit was their problem to figure out where that spot would be.

Most goalies just drop. I was looking for that spot just over his pad.

Michelle has done so much for the sport and been a champion so many years, I'm guessing they will give her a spot on the Olympic team. It's important for the rest of us just to focus on our own skating.

When spot prices hit 49,000 that affected consumption at first. But that was a month ago ... now people expect prices to pick up. Traditionally in March and April consumption is higher than in January and February.

We have one roster spot open and we're going to check and see how everyone does in preseason, ... There is a spot available if someone would show us that they're warranting that spot. Ricky's done a nice job. He's very explosive, can score the basketball. So it's been very interesting watching him in preseason.

We just can't spot them one goal like we usually do. It's going to be weird starting from scratch.

You have to (find a spot) a few days earlier. You can't go out and find a spot on the day before the storm. There has to be a few days of planning.

You just have to get in the right spot at the right time and get the puck on your tape.

You just gotta find an open spot on the ice and you know he is going to find you. That's pretty easy for us to do. Just get open and he'll find you.

You know if something is good because you remember the lines because it is written so well. The rhythm of the speech is spot on.

Wireless continues to be the spot in telecom.

While we take what happened seriously, and I stand by everything that our commander on the spot did, don't let's take one incident like that and try to pretend that it reflects the whole of even the Iraqi police force,

While you're fighting for a playoff spot, you might as well try to get the best spot possible.

We are bemused by the length of time it is taking for the partners to announce the go-ahead for this project. Our analysis shows clearly that the economics of less attractive projects in the region are compelling at prices significantly lower than the current spot levels.

We're all talking about the Gold Cup as the dream spot and probably a spot between now and then. It is in our own backyard.

We realize the ability of a 30-second stand-alone spot to impact viewers has diminished.

We provide our customers with the sweet spot of coffee, where value meets quality.

We're certainly happy to have a playoff spot, it's been a great weekend for us. We're in the position where other teams have to chase us now. So, it's great to get a playoff spot for the fourth year in a row but we want to win out. This is only the first step.

We really want the first or second spot just for pride. It would be a fun thing to take first in the league, even if we don't do well at Westerns.

We really needed this win to put ourselves in a better spot for state. Everyone contributed.

We have some tough decisions to make this week. But I think we're in a good spot that we have those tough decisions to make and it will stand as a good position to be in throughout the season.

We are trying to find a spot for a good athlete,

When you're looking for one type of criminal activity, it's obvious that the officers will be able to spot other types and the heightened security measures will go a long ways towards helping DWI arrests and vice versa,

When you're looking at just one spot in the sky and something appears, you don't know if it was formed there, if it was generated there or if it just drifted in. AMISR can see both what's forming and what's drifting in.

We had given the spot to someone else, but he was just so much more energetic. He left and I asked why we didn't audition him in the first place.

We had (five) minutes of self-destruction. You can't spot the champions five goals.

We had extended the opportunities and wanted them to, they just dont want to. There were no penalties. They had to earn their spot back. There's nothing else to say about it. We tried, and tried hard.

We've got the draft, and we'll find some college free agents and sign a veteran free agent in a spot where we think we need help.

We have been very high on ITT for quite a long time. And we think the assets are very valuable. And for him to spot it and act on it is very important and suggests that he is doing a very, very good job for Hilton.

Valuations on mining stocks look very rich. Any pause in the spot price is leading to sharp price corrections and sentiment can reverse quite quickly.

Vail Valley Medical Center was one of the first big donors. We had to have a spot adjacent to the cancer center and they donated the land.

Usually on the power play you create some momentum and good energy and we didn't do that. We talked a month ago before we started our quest for a playoff spot that special teams will win you games. We have to get back to basics on the power play.

We're still trying to find a happy spot with this new chassis, and even though this Pontiac GTO has been very good lately, we definitely keep gaining on it every week. We're pretty pleased right now, but you have to look for even better and that's what we tried to do during our two days of testing at Indy. We experimented with shocks and springs and stuff like that, trying to find something that will help us. At the same time we wanted some laps on this racetrack because even though it will be different when we come back, there are some characteristics that are going to be the same.

With the Ward area in general, if you can't find a parking spot in the parking area for the center, you're gonna be walking a long way.

We have always kept the spot open for Jesper. Now he feels ready to join the squad and we are of course happy for his decision.

Today was a do-or-die for them, and he pitched a great game. It's obvious that he is a big-game pitcher. So when you spot him some runs early and he has that cushion, then it makes him that much better.

We needed him to fill a spot for us, and he did, but he's given us much more than we could have anticipated.

We never had any rhythm. In the second half the defense was much better and we cut into it a little bit. But when you spot a team (19) points, and that team has Kobe, you know eventually during your run that he is going to make a shot.

We came up in the first inning and our first three hitters all struck out. Then they put up a three spot up and we just came together. We hit around and I think the difference was our dugout. Everyone was in the game from our starters to our pinch hitters.

We found a spot for her on Friday and one of her children was scheduled to go into day care this Monday (today).

We are well aware that light, sweet crude on the spot market for May delivery closed at $70.40 a barrel.

We didn't double team her because we wanted to make sure they didn't beat us with their guards, who are also pretty special. We knew if we sagged back on her, they could wear us out with their 3-point shooting. But as it turns out, it was six of one and half dozen of another. We were in a tough spot no matter what we did.

We have athletes who get in the same spot on the field (and) freeze. An athlete such as Carson Palmer, who has to sit in there, it reminds me of Joe Namath. There is always the psychological aspect of keeping that foot planted and throwing over that front foot and worrying about getting hit on. It's real.

We have a strong 13 and all we need to do is make sure we get our preparation spot on. We will then play our own game. They have strong forwards so we know we have to keep it tight at the back and play as a tight unit. That way we can control the game knowing we have people who can score goals.

We haven't made a decision as to what direction we're going to go with the 53rd spot now that Jerry's not with us, ... We have not finalized another roster spot and I can't tell you when that will be for sure.

We haven't given up on the 30-second spot yet -- we still are there. But there are two ways, we think, to deal with it,

The prelims went really well for me. I was kind of surprised at how well everything went. I was seeded seventh in the 50 free, which is just one spot out of the finals. Actually now I'm seeded third for the finals, which is good. I was seeded 11th in the 100 and now I'm fifth.

Wax was a very fast greyhound ... ungodly fast. To the first turn he could be beat, but he'd come after you from there. He'd spot dogs five, six, eight lengths and catch them. He'd zero in on them and then blow past them.

We are in a good spot right now. We are playing like a team, but we hope to play better each time we take the floor.

We are in a better spot (financially). With attendance going up, we think what were doing with TV, we feel like we're in a better spot to keep players for a long time.

We are disappointed that Will is leaving the Fire. We believe he could have had a bright future with our club, however, he was adamant about securing a Senior roster spot as opposed to a Developmental slot. When we looked at the depth of talent on our Senior roster, this was simply not a realistic option.

Those of us who lived through the worst of the HIV/AIDS epidemic from the early 1980s through the mid-1990s have a very special spot in our heart for home-based health care.

Unfortunately the players are caught in the middle at the moment. I thought the preparation we did in the autumn was spot on but that has not happened this time.

We'll know (Tuesday) by three o'clock where he's going to play. I will save a spot for him on our roster. I just didn't name him tonight.

We were just looking for the perfect spot and this piece of land came available - a full acre. And you could hardly see the water when you first stood in the back of the property. It was so overgrown with potato vines. We had to clear it out, but oh, we just love it. We love the view.

We were in the air for about 30 minutes to see if we could spot anyone moving in a suspicious fashion.

We didn't come out to play in the beginning of the game, and we didn't come out to play after the first half. It's tough to watch from the bench, and to see your team get down, because you can't spot a good team like this 20 points.

We didn't rebound, we didn't guard, we weren't sharp offensively at all. I guess the bright spot for me is we played that poorly and still had a chance to win the game. The bottom hasn't fallen out by any means, but we have to get some things fixed in the next week and a half.

We didn't rebound the ball well, and we haven't done it well for a while. It's been a sore spot for us all year long.

We don't have a weak spot in our lineup. All but one starter has a winning record, and eight have hit double digits in victories.

When you spot a team that many points in the first half, it's difficult to win, ... You can't play ball like that on the road. It was way too much. We kind of had our fate handed to us early.

When you spot a team like that 10 points out of the chute, it's going to be a tough hole to dig out of. A couple bad plays early on and they really got after us. We had to throw the ball a lot in the second half and they teed off on us. Offensively, it wasn't one of our best performances. We need to try to learn from that film and learn from what they have done since.

We are seeing good strength overseas, particularly in Europe, which had been a weak spot for McDonald's.

We are acutely interested and very focused on bringing a team to Oklahoma City. It's a tricky spot to be in because you don't want to overstep your boundaries ... but the Sonics, yes, are a possibility and a team that would do well not just here, but I'm sure anywhere that they played.

We are putting our eggs into the two- to five-year spot on the curve.

To be where we're at is great. But we still have a lot of basketball to go. We sure would like to be where we're at. That's a good spot to be in. But our next challenge is Oregon State.

The overriding negative influence on Asian export prices this year has been the strong growth in Indonesian exports, particularly as this has occurred at a time of limited buying interest in the spot market from the Japanese power utilities.

(The PC) is definitely suffering, ... You've got to realize that the performance difference between a high-end PC and a console has really narrowed ... The sweet spot of the markets, in terms of price performance, has shifted.

We did what we needed to do to get back in the (WIAC) race. It's huge for us. We have a chance to redeem ourselves at home and the big crowd gave us a lot of energy. We've put ourselves in a good spot now.

We did what we had to do to win. We are fighting for that third playoff spot and the kids worked hard for the victory.

We are not playing tomorrow so I'll have a chance to rest it and hopefully I can get back to about 80 percent before we play Philadelphia. Until we seal up that five spot (in the Eastern Conference), there will be no rest. I just have to keep going full-throttle until we get that five seed. We're getting banged up at the worst time and it's going to be a battle the rest of the way, but we have enough talent on this team to keep winning.

We had a pretty decent pull-back in spot gold, so I think there is some profit-taking here.
