Mike Ford Quotations

We hope to discover a few more large objects in the outer solar system.

One, I think it showed that the game was really important, but secondly, how that was handled was maybe the best thing that happened today. It was so darn good. This has been the classiest league in the country since its inception.

Money will be put in a fund. They are making sure they all get something that Dark needs.

I could stand here and give you all sorts of excuses about why I had the season I did in 2003-04, but I have vowed to be proactive ... in everything I do this season,

But they're not worried. The tests showed that everything was fine, and he's going to be fine. He still has numbness, but I expect he'll be working out, and he should be in our lineup Sunday.

Baron was under the weather but came out and had a great first half. He got tired in the second half. We just didn't have other guys stepping up and helping him out there offensively. We let our offensive performance affect our defense too much.

I suspect that this is another case of a senator hyperventilating on a Sunday talk show.

I suspect that the whale that approached thought he was a harbor seal splashing.

I thought we were in pretty good shape. They're not a team that scores a lot of points.

Our boys could've quit, but they didn't. Our offense came alive, but our defense let us down.

Recently, the news has been filled with big jackpots and winners. Wouldn't you love to be part of the winning?

I was thinking out loud because I've seen a six-run lead last less than a blink of an eye at this place. It takes a mentality to keep pushing at this field. But these guys have played all season a lot harder than people realize.

We ended up getting a ton of mediocre shots. The longer we did that, the more they got confidence that they could stay in the game. Then we got ourselves in a hole that we had a tough time digging ourselves out of. We got three shots at the end, but we never should have been in that situation.

We played well defensively. We had a couple of breakdowns, and they capitalized on them.

We played a little too defensive and didn't go after them. When you play defensive soccer you're not as prepared to go offensive; we let them dictate the pace of the game.

You fall back on your experiences, ... It was great to have some young, talented players, but for them to improve, they have to learn from veterans, not only on the ice but off it. Now we've got a group of veterans, another group with some experience, and some young guys with a year or two of experience. This is a better mix.

Etienne has changed the view of doubles at the ATP and he is getting the doubles on the stadium courts. He's making it happen, he has huge ideas. The doubles players, we feel like we're more part of the overall package and feel like we belong.

The sooner you get there on the ground, get the investigators going, start interviews -- the sooner you are going to find out who is responsible for this.

That's not how you'd want to write it up. But we'll take it.

A lot of defense is just want, just wanting to do it. It's hard work. You get tired, you've got to be able to defend and that's what we're working on. But they're working at it. It's not something that's going to happen overnight. Team defense takes a while to develop.

It was in the back of my mind. I thought there might be a chance.

It wasn't bad ... the 19 hit me one time. We have a new engine in tonight, but are running old tires. We'll be even faster next race.

It was probably more of an emotional win. When you talk to some of these young guys and you see where their heads are, they're looking the right way, they're talking the right way and they battle until the bitter end. To be back at home pitching and get a win on Opening Day with family and friends here, it's special.

These oil and natural gas prices are very negative for the consumer.

The Metro League prepares you super all year.

I'm not worried about that at this point.

Their living room is lined floor-to-ceiling with religious and nonfiction books. They, like many younger, educated Bangladeshi, are more overtly devout than their parents. They are more educated about the tenets of their religion.

The companies we're working with are very strongly determined to run mission-critical workloads on Linux on x86.
