I went out there and made some good reads, threw some good balls, did it quickly. Overall, I felt like I graded out pretty well.

I was watching how he was pitching to Michaels. He was throwing a lot of balls inside. That's what I went up looking for, a pitch inside, and that's where he threw it.

I was wrong, I was so wrong. I was in the starting gate for my first run and just about threw up I was so nervous.

I was a little surprised with how our pitching went in that first game. Chad threw a good game but just had those three homers against him. You take those three pitches away and he pitched pretty well.

I was a little concerned about him. I didn't think the last couple of batters he threw the ball like he had been throwing.

I went to grab it, and I didn't grab it right. I kinda threw it. It was a wonder it even made it halfway there.

I was just looking for a little pop pass over the middle. The quarterback was pressured, so he kind of threw behind the receiver. The ball was all wobbly, so I knew it wasn't a good pass.

I was just looking at attacking basket and get the foul or an easy bucket, and I just threw it up, and it went in.

I was just trying to sit on the fastball, looking for something hard, and he threw me a fastball middle-away and I was able to drive it.

I think they felt they had to do something. Their reasoning was they want to avoid guys throwing things, whether it was gum or anything. They did not say they thought he threw it toward Joey.

I think they threw every single guy they had at me last night. Every time I touched the ball I had guys all over me. ... UCLA did a lot of double-teams. When that happens, I need to look for the open man quicker. They were real aggressive with their hands up. I had been doubled before. They did a good job rotating and cutting off the easy pass, but part of that is on me. I've got to get the ball out.

I think them getting here late sort of threw us out of our routine, and we're very much a routine type of team.

It is a really big deal to throw strikes in high school baseball. Walks are so big, and it was nice that we didn't give them up. Our guys really threw well. If we can just keep it up, I think we can have a good year.

Just because you've seen a guy doesn't mean you're going to get hits off him the next time. He seemed to bear down when guys got on base, and when he got ahead, he threw that split.

Jeremy came in with us down a run and proceeded to get out of the jam. The next inning he threw he got a double play to end the inning. He ran into a little trouble there at the end, but still kept his composure and got guys out.

Jeremy came in there at the end and threw pretty well in my book. He got in a little jam at the end, but got out of it. We didn't have a couple good defensive plays behind him that led to getting a couple base runners on. All-in-all I was pleased with both of them.

Jeff will defend his titles November 5 and Showtime will televise it. Jeff is not only the most active world champion in boxing, he is the shining light of the 12stone division. Jeff has successfully answered every challenge in his professional career, but when it came time for Calzaghe to face Jeff, his team threw in the towel.

Jason threw exceptionally well. He had great command of his fastball and mixed his off-speed in well. He kept them off balance and had a real strong outing.

Jarrod threw the ball very, very well. He was outstanding. We just couldn't score runs off the other guy.

Jared only threw 70 pitches through seven innings. He did a tremendous job of filling up the strike zone early.

Jeff came out and threw strikes. His pitches were up a little bit, but of course the mask was slipping. I was pretty pleased.

Jeff came in and threw strikes. He competed. And he's versatile, too. He can start, he can relieve, he can spot-start.

Jerry (Gray, defensive coordinator) threw everything that was in our game plan. This was the first week since I've been here that he tried everything. He was trying everything just to find something to click.

Jamie did a very good job. He threw well enough to win, but so did the other guy.

I wrote a little M' in the grass and threw the ball up to him.

Kyle practiced some and threw the ball pretty well. I feel like he'll be fine. I was encouraged by what I saw today.

Kristina, as always, threw a really great game (on Saturday). She always pulls it off.

Kris threw the ball well. He threw his fastball very well.

Last week we just threw the ball on the court and played. Now that we know who we're playing, we know what work we have to do.

Last time we played them I had 14 (catches) but we didn't score. All I heard all week long was what I didn't do. We were ready for whatever they threw at us.

Last night was the worst night of my life, ... This man up here, well, he was trying to choke this little boy. They whipped him down. Then they threw him over the railing.

I saw him wind up and throw it. He threw it and ran.

I saw my father deal with every headache the government threw his way - whether it had to do with the signs on the front of the building or the prices on the showroom floor. He knew he could do better, if government would just get out of the way - and stay out of the way. He was right.

I saw Kobe cut to the ball, so I threw it to him. We blew another one. Same as the New Jersey game. We've got to find a way to win these games or we're going to be done April 19.

I saw the quarterback looking that way the whole time. So I sunk out that way in case he threw the ball.

I saw the guys get tangled up and Lee was trying to get free. I didn't see it all. The referee said Lee threw an elbow. You need to ask them. Technically they can't use (the replay) to call a foul. They said they already had the foul on the floor, but I never saw it signaled until after they went to the monitor.

I saw 'Fro.' The puck got dumped in, so I just said, 'Oh, I'm just going to go to the front of the net,' and all of a sudden he had it. I don't know if there was anybody around me or not. I just know he put a great pass on me. He just threw it on my stick and it was in the net. It was a pretty good feeling.

I rushed it. I didn't know how much time was left so I just threw it up.

I saw a guy throwing hard but without a lot of command. It was hard to watch. We got to get him tightened up. He threw a lot of pitches.

I saw a big, strong lefty who threw in the upper 80s. That grabs your attention real fast.

I remember watching my brother and thinking that would be me someday. He really motivated me to go out and work harder. I just went out and threw a lot and worked on my pitches.

I remember there was a lake on the left because they threw me in the lake when I won. I didn't care, I won the golf tournament.

I remember when the Bic pen was controversial. They came from France. They were cheap, and when one was out of ink, you threw it away; you didn't dip it into more ink.

Pelzer looked good coming out of the blocks. We thought he threw the ball well, and we actually thought about getting him out after the fourth inning but decided to leave him in for a few more pitches to try and get the decision. He'll be in the mix all season.

Our kids threw fairly well. They were just hitting the ball.

Our guys hit the ball well, and our pitchers threw well.

Our kids executed brilliantly. I think that threw Carlisle for a loop. The mistakes we made last week we didn't make again tonight, and that was huge.

Our key today was that our pitchers threw strikes and we established big leads and held on.

Our hammer throwers threw good today, all four of them. I was really happy with the way they threw.

Our guy usually hits his spots but he threw three pitches that were belt high and right down the middle. We just made some mistakes and they made us pay for them.

Our guys were swinging at balls above their hands. Gurley threw well, and we weren't disciplined. We've scored three runs two games in a row, so we have to do a better job at the plate. Three runs won't win very often.

Our guys played well. Andrew threw well and we protected him. I don't think they got close to him. We still have some work to do with our running game. Our defense played really well and our special teams did well.

Paint Valley is a very scrappy team. We tried to dig up their hard hits, but they threw some off-speed stuff at us and kept us in our tracks. Our team is improving, but we need to transition a lot better on defense.

Paige threw really well tonight. She walked the first batter of the game and then settled into a nice groove. She looked pretty sharp for her first game out this year.

Our pitching was really good today. Zane has pitched well all season long, and It's always been there for Clayton. We've just been waiting for him to figure it out, and in his last two starts he's done exactly what he did today. Derek Ward also threw a strong inning for us, and Justin Wells did just what we needed him to do.

Our pitches got very tentative. You can't get tentative against a lineup like the Yankees. We threw ball one, ball two.

Our pitchers threw strikes and we were able to bunch a couple of hits together in a big situation.

Our pitchers came out and threw a couple of good games. They threw strikes and took (care) of business out there.

Our first quarter defensively really set the tone. We worked on a lot of stuff this morning. They (Atlanta) missed a lot of shots but the defense was better than it was in that last game (against Golden State). We just threw out that last game.

Our game plan was to go back to the triangle-and-two that we used when we beat them last time and obviously not having him on the floor threw a monkey wrench into that. We didn't get the job done on defense tonight.

Overall, I thought we pitched well. We gave up a few runs, but the freshmen were composed and threw well. Ashley looked the part of a seasoned veteran and Dorn looked very good.

Overall, I thought Esteban threw the ball well and I think I didn't throw the ball as well. Walking five guys, pitching out of the stretch, pitching out of a lot of jams, it's hard to win that way.

Overall, I played pretty well but I felt I threw away some shots. I'd love to be in a playoff now. It's disappointing. I'm a little frustrated.

Overall our passing game was pretty efficient. We dropped a couple of balls, and we were disappointed we didn't get the ball in the end zone there when we were down there. Looked like Tom threw the ball well, set up quickly, and got it out there.

Overall, I am really happy with how we played. Erick pitched really well. He threw strikes and located well.

Overall, he threw well. We couldn't ask for too much more than what he did. We wanted him to go 80 pitches, and that's what he had through five. He felt good and wanted to continue, but we've still got to protect him a little bit.

Outstanding. He threw 98 pitches and 96 of them were fastballs.

Outstanding. Even though he's still feeling a little bit under the weather from the food poison, he threw the baseball very well. He'll be good to go on Friday.

Other than two pitches, most of them were pretty much pitches I threw where I wanted to throw,

R.J. threw the ball extremely well in his first start of the year. He threw strikes, and we made all the routine plays. I'm very pleased with the effort.

R.J. threw the ball extremely well ... his best outing of the year. He kept it close and gave us a chance to win.

Pitching and defense was the key today. The pitchers threw strikes and I thought Pedro (Alvarez) and Ryan (Flaherty) made some nice plays at the corner infield spots.

Playing on a big stage like this, at the Kohl Center, at the state tournament, I don't know if you ever expect to come out and shoot the ball like we did tonight. I had a feeling, though, we might have a good game. At the shoot-around on Wednesday, we made every­thing we threw up there. The way we're playing right now, nothing surprises me with this group of kids.

Real spotty comment on my fastball today and to go out against a kid that's throwing the ball as well as Brendan threw the ball today,

Price did a good job and got to the seventh inning against a good-hitting team. He threw 125 pitches, and that's high. I don't like doing that.

Patrick, he threw a chair. He got really red. We were all really excited.

Patrick got off to a very rough start. The first two he threw right to the guy. ... After that he sort of hung in there as best as he could, and hit a few here and there. But he played about like a rookie quarterback, I guess. I don't know where he was throwing some of those.

Passes that I threw in college up the middle of the field that were complete were now intercepted and coming right back at you. It's the quality of players. They don't let you make many mistakes.

Partway through the process, we threw up a flare and said, 'We think we've made a mistake. We think we should design for 400 watts per square foot.' And we were basically laughed out of the room,

Sure, we'd have liked to win all three. But it's a tough ballpark to play in. They threw three good pitchers at us. We still find ourselves in a good position. You don't want to lose a series. But the position we're in, we're OK.

Steve has the option of doing a hitch or a takeoff. The safety came down and Steve ran right by the cornerback. I threw it up and Steve did the rest. He's a special player and he showed up again today.

Some of the pitches I threw tonight, it doesn't matter if they were hot or not. Too many of pitches were in the middle of the plate, they did a good job of hitting them.

Some of the people in the crowd threw rocks and bottles at the police, but no police were injured.

Someone either waved or threw hand grenades at (a guard). He refused to open the gate. When the hand grenades came, of course, he ran away to save himself. The blast went off, knocked him down, and he survived.

That could explain why he threw so many high balls this season.

That bunt by Gonzalez threw everybody for a loop. That got the South Bend dugout all excited. Big-time players make big-time plays. I thought we pitched him well during this series.

MySpace is for people online to socialize and we threw music into the mix as another option,

Nate threw the ball well and took advantage of a bunch of receivers. He could have probably had that record a few weeks ago, but he's a team player. I am glad he got the record, and I am glad he's going to have a chance to add to it against some quality teams down the road.

My mom said she learned how to swim. Someone took her out in the lake and threw her off the boat. That's how she learned how to swim. I said, "Mom, they weren't trying to teach you how to swim.

Mark did an awesome job, ... He puts the ball where it has to be. He's a great quarterback and he threw it perfect for me. I'm just running the routes; he's throwing it.

Matthew threw the ball well, and Ethan is really throwing well.

Marietta was playing a 1-2-2 zone and we had trouble adjusting to it. They did a great job. We just didn't recognize it. They threw some things at us that we didn't recognize.

(Martin) threw strikes and was ahead in the count. When you throw as hard as he does and you're ahead in the count you're going to be successful.

(Mathis) threw a punch and I tried to block it. We were just trash talking. I don't think anyone should have been ejected.

Marshall played good and we did not. Adair threw great, Marshall is a good team.

Like they've been all year long, they're very consistent throwing strikes. Brian threw well. We've probably misused Eddie to where we bring him in in relief. Eddie has done a great job for us. He has a good mix of speed. I was very pleased with those two guys.

I was thinking, 'Don't drop this, don't drop this. Mike threw a great ball with a guy in his face. Hearing the roar of the crowd, it's a feeling that will never be duplicated.

I was trying to hit the ball hard somewhere. He threw me a ball that I could handle and I hit it hard.

I was very happy with the way the guys played. We played errorless ball, which was good. We threw too many pitches and fell behind in the count. When you fall behind the count on good hitters, you're going to get hit and that's what happened today.
