Why shouldn't we pitch to Babe Ruth? We pitch to better hitters in the National League.

John Mcgraw

I have a fantastic group of kids. It's an honor to win such a competitive league, but there is still a lot of work to do.

Dan Stolz

The ball carries a lot better than it does in the Florida State League.

Lee Mitchell

We're not even in the same league as Warner Robins.

Lee Gilmour

People try to say the Big 12 is better than our league. But I think we proved them wrong.

Patrick O'bryant

This is a sweet victory for the Catholic League, Christians in general, and people of all faiths.

Bill Donohue

When I got here, I found out quickly that everyone across the league knows Mike Shanahan and what he is all about. I liked him, and I still do.

David Terrell

They just know how to win, it's obvious. It comes down to the fourth quarter a lot in this league, and they know how to win in the fourth quarter. It's a bad feeling to be so close. Because you'd rather get blown out then have a chance to win the game and not quite get there.

Jason Ferguson

I can't overemphasize how important that relationship with the NBA will be to our league.

Todd Speer

I can sit here and think of a million reasons why it hasn't happened, ... I believe it's coming. No, it hasn't been fast enough. At the same time, I would hate to see a league with half African-American coaches ... if they're not good coaches.

Mike Singletary

We just have to be smarter, and hopefully we will be smarter in league play.

Matt Doherty

The year that we went to the elite eight, we ended up 10-6 in the league. So, it's been done before. It's just a matter of how we're going to play.

Ted Van Dellen

We've got be smarter and hopefully we'll be smarter when we get into league play.

Matt Doherty

They should go down as the greatest team in history because of the parity of the league and with all the salary caps and stuff.

Roger Craig

We hope he gets drafted on the first day. It's great for us and the Ivy League in general.

Jim Knowles

It's basically Louisiana kids. If you can sign the top two or three Louisiana kids every year, you should be able to finish in the top two or three in this league.

Butch Pierre

I think he's the best player in the league.

Todd Salva

She's the best player in the league by far. I don't know how she didn't get MVP. That voting is crazy. She makes them go.

Darin Spence

It's an extremely competitive team. Also, we are a feeder team for the big league club. There are a lot of guys that can pack their bags, get to Kansas City and really help them out.

Aaron Guiel

The way the league handles it financially, it really puts you in a position where you're cheering for the other schools to also do well.

Jim Schaus

We're ready for them. Right now, let's see what we can do against one of the top offenses in the league since coach Martz has been doing it.

Billy Davis

I'm not so mean. I wouldn't ever go out to hurt anybody deliberately - unless it was, you know, important, like a league game or something.

Dick Butkus

That was a great win. Paz was a league champion last year.

Robert Nebeker

All the teams in the league really need to support one another.

Paul Jennings

That puts her in a position to compete. That's a two-foot PR for her from last year and puts her in the top four throwers in the league.

Pedro Marquez

My wife and I love the country. I'm enjoying Cyprus, but I'd drop everything if an A-League club was to contact me.

Bernd Stange

The number one goal is still being league champ. We will worry about the tournament when we get there.

Ben Snively

It is too hard to say how close the league is going to be. It is so early to be talking about a points gap.

Frank Lampard

Typically, this league is not that way. We know we've got to keep improving, and we know teams aren't likely to keep sweeping.

Jim Gantt

This is the same predicament we were in last year. We can't lose this many games in a row in league and expect to finish in the top half.

Thomas Gardner

We failed miserably at winning the league title, but we still can go for a district title.

Von Graffin

I had a great opportunity in summer league, ... It was a great experience for me. I got a lot of time, and the guys I played with were great.

Nate Burleson

These are the games that count. We are about due for a win. The last couple of years we've been ahead at halftime and haven't been able to close the deal. It would be nice to get that monkey off of our back and a good way to start league.

Doug South

It would be huge for this town. This could be the hottest spot in the D-League.

Tony Bland

Our No. 1 goal is to win the league title.

Chase Hodges

I am very happy at Arsenal. I love playing Premier League football, this is an exciting opportunity for me and I am determined to do well here.

Alexander Hleb

It's good to have Cottonwood back in the league; it's a great rivalry.

Matt Barnes

In my eyes, I'd like to think I can compete at a big league level. Allard and Buddy may not think that, but another team can.

Jimmy Gobble

[Devine] is going to be a great pitcher in this league someday.

Brian Mccann

We're always aiming at the league meet. That's the No. 1 thing.

Brian Tucker

The lightweight league is very competitive this year, and any win will be hard-earned.

Greg Hughes

We have a lot of guys who are versatile. That's what keeps you in this league sometimes, and we've just got to show that again.

Michael Adams

If he can hit, he can hit. I don't care if he came from Class Z league.

Frank Robinson

[Luther] has been a catcher in summer league. She's very athletic and extremely fast.

Randy Osnes

We're going to be able to put some runs up on the board and we're going to shut out a lot of guys. We're going to surprise a lot of people in this league.

Boof Bonser

The league won't be hunting Ducks in camouflage anymore.

Mike Babcock

Reading is unusually large for a team in this league, but it has been a problem.

Chris Cichocki

It got borderline embarrassing. They're a very average team, and they made us look like we didn't even belong in the league.

Tim Doyle

Some of the players from our indoor league could be chosen for the San Diego indoor team.

Kathy Waite

Every team in our league is a rival.

Mike Florak

It came down to what's beneficial for the league to get the most teams in the tournament. But I don't think they envisioned a league with eight teams in the Top 25.

Terry Rupp

We ask how they're doing in their league, and he asks how we are doing in the OAA.

Alison Septer

Eloy had a great season last year and Harris is one of the fastest guys in the league.

Jerrad Jeske

I knew the Steelheads had a winning tradition. I knew they were at the top of their league every year.

Garrett Bembridge

One loss is not going to kill us, but it is never good to take a loss. But we are lucky enough to have a loss and still have a chance to win league.

Adam Miller

We haven't asked Drew to go out and win a game for us yet, we haven't had to. But you know this league. Sooner or later, we will. And I don't doubt that he'll do it.

Jim Tomsula

I can pick and choose who I play ball with and that adds to the longevity of teams and the league.

Cameron Bailey

It would be nice if we could win the league and one of the cups.

Paul Carter

We were only 1-11 in our league last year.

Janet Smith

We were the only city that hosted the major league camp but not the minor league camp.

Wil Gorman

I feel like I've been like the stepfather of the Arena League.

Darryl Hammond

We're defending a league championship for the third straight year. Any time you're doing that, everyone's gunning for you.

Ryan Hunter

We'd only played the bottom four in the league. So this is a big series.

Jimbo Davis

The real rivalry is intense, but this is minor-league baseball. It's supposed to be fun.

Tim Bawmann

That's bush-league. I haven't seen that in pro hockey.

Alain Vigneault

March is an important month for us. We've got six league games, so lots of points are up for grabs.

Peter Nicholas

We're bringing in a centre to help in the rebounding department as well as banging bodies with the bigger players in the League.

Mark Watkins

I've been clean since I've been in the league, I've been clean since I've been in college, I've been clean since I've been in high school, middle school, elementary school. I'm just cleaner than clean. I'm cleaner than Pine-Sol.

Reggie Evans

I think our league will be pretty equal.

Katherine Fogg

We're undefeated in league the last four years. We've got to keep the tradition alive.

Marlon King

One can only hope that the position that is being articulated by the youth league is not that of the main party.

Bernard Balikani

It isn't often that you can bring in a quarterback that has proven himself already in this league and also possesses enormous growth potential.

Rob Katz

Granite Bay is going to be the class of the league again going into the season.

Mike Blake

Those are two guys that have really earned a shot to compete at the major league level.

Tony Reagins

He's one of the top scorers in the league. You're only going to hold him down for so long.

Dwayne Casey

He's up there in appearances in the league and he may have had more tougher type saves than other guys out there, more than one inning saves.

John Gibbons

I think the league has never been on a more firm foundation.

Russ Granik

It's a testament to our league.

Lou Wejnert

It is disappointing and frustrating. With the talented players we have, we're bigger, stronger and faster than anybody in this league. Some games, we just couldn't put it together. I don't know why.

Deanna Nolan

It's sad how we bowed out of the Champions League. We should not have lost in the manner we did, but now we must move on.

Neil Tovey

Thus, there can be no real disarmament except on the basis of the collective peace system of the League of Nations.

Arthur Henderson

I use that to motivate them. Especially at our home gym. If our kids want to challenge for league, they have to win at home. I try to use every angle to motivate the kids.

Tony Lopez

We thought we were out of our league. We're a daily show competing against monthly shows.

Stephen Tanner

This squad is loaded with really great athletes and I really think they're going to make some noise in the league.

Kyle Gordon

They dominated the Catholic League. They dominated Bucks County.

John Salmon

This is our third league game decided on penalty kicks or controversial calls. But we have to take some responsibility.

Bryan Davis

There are very few companies in the league of where Procter is in terms of their success and ability to innovate.

Bruce Cohen

I do think they are one of the top four teams in the league.

Bobby Gonzalez

I'll tell you this, after facing him, I could have faced the best pitcher in the league and I would have been excited about it.

Shea Hillenbrand

It's a pretty cool deal for him and us. USU has the best fan support of anybody in the league.

Mike Strauss

To me, he's the best defensive lineman in the league. He's extremely quick off the ball. He's extremely good against the run and one of the best tacklers I've ever had.. One-on-one, he's pretty hard to block.

Matt Blokker

We've been in a lot of major league club houses and this rivals any of them.

Dave Meyer

I take it on as a challenge. There's no big guy in this league that can stay with me and has more agility than me.

Brad Byerson

What I want to do is just get myself in shape here. I came to the best spot in the American League. It's great here. They have their own practice facility.

Steve Shields

Ned said if there's a big league opportunity, then he would let me go to another team. For somebody in my situation, that's kind of a common occurrence.

Aaron Sele

We're just going to see what happens next. However the chips fall as far as playoffs and the league and whatever else, that's how they fall.

Scott Bartholomew

Carlos has a reputation for diving, and we've talked to him about it, but it's something that he's doing far less than he did in his first year in the league. Sometimes it's difficult to determine: Is it a dive or is he getting hit?

Carlos Ruiz

Christine vastly improved her defense to a level where she was one of the top on ball defenders in the league.

Craig Campbell

I'm real happy, very excited. It's a great opportunity for me to end my career here and stay close to my kids. That was my huge concern going forward with the new league.

Martin Brodeur

I've got thousands of autographs. They're from the Fall League and Spring Training. I've got 10 5,000-count boxes full of autographed cards. It's all for me, and whenever I decide to have a family, it will go to my son.

Thomas Poore

Britain is currently number six in the league of outbound visitor's destination.

Bernard Donoghue

It's the first time in the history of the league.

Brad Davis

We hope to stay competitive in a very tough league.

Ron Ahart

It's always good to have a lot of catching. We have a few guys that are going to be very, very good major league catchers.

Roger Hansen

That's why he's one of the best in the league. That's why we go out there and play hard for ourselves and for him. For him to come out in those circumstances . . . That's why I love playing with him.

Tony Gonzalez

I have met almost all of my friends through the Village Art League and the Visual Arts Association.

Patty Krueger

We've lost six, but we've been in every game but the first one. It's not like we're the worst team in the league.

Keith Fithen

He's a major league pitcher. He has a lot of experience; he knows how to pitch in and out, and he knows how to get ahead in the count.

Luis Alicea

They've done well and they've got Hawley, who has scored a lot of goals. They're a great team at grinding out results, but they're top of an average league. But, full credit to them because they wouldn't be where they are if they hadn't done well.

Darren Ferguson

My hunches are Monroe will challenge for the league title. They have a lot of kids coming in.

Dan Newbill

The MAC is going to be a balanced and extremely competitive league again this year.

Brad Evans

For now, they were banned from the V-League, which starts in January. They could be banned for life if convicted in a court.

Nguyen Trong Hy

I heard a lot of good stories from guys who had played [in the AFL] and I considered it a pretty big honor to be invited, ... The best thing I heard about it was that it's a hitter's league and I knew I would be facing some of the best Minor League hitters in the game.

Huston Street

We have already been relegated so we were giving the Under-21 players Premier League experience.

Calvert Fitzgerald

We're not going to rest until the league and the sport are top two [in America].

Tim Leiweke

We're in a very tough league. I don't know if we can win it, but we'll hold our own. We'll give it our best shot.

Rick Roseman

We played well in that first half and I'm happy with that. So far in every league game we haven't played well in the first half, so that's one step in the right direction.

Harvey Gamble

The middle part of the league now is going to be so competitive. It is a bad thing record-wise, but it is a good thing for RPI.

Harry Perretta

When you've got to put together your hits and runs to equal your errors, you're not going to win many games in this league.

Kip Harris

He's maybe the best point guard in the league right now.

Charlie Bell

This was a championship game. To beat them at their place was huge. That's what you have to do to compete for the league championship.

Adam Barrett

(Brandon) Webb is a premier, No. 1 (starter) in this league. I felt I put some good at-bats against him.

Danny Ardoin

He's obviously the most dominant pitcher in the American League right now. He should get it.

Matthew Lecroy

One thing about the Arena Football League, they know how to generate excitement. They have us opening the season at the same place where our season ended last year. It will be an electric atmosphere, and I, for one, can't wait.

John Moyer

We will need guys to step up and have confidence in scoring if we are to win another league game.

Jay Staggs

This is getting away from the league. They need to come in and change some of those rules.

Quentin Jammer

When you're involved in the National Football League, the competitiveness never leaves you.

Ron Jaworski

The actions of the players at the commencement of the game were most concerning and not consistent with the expectation the League has established.

David Branch

We gave away one forfeit (heavyweight) and we knew that we had to make up for that. We did and at this point the league title is ours to lose.

Michael Aanerud

The league is right in the middle of the subdivision.

Mike Carden

This will create more opportunities to get to the postseason. This is something the league was seeking.

Dan Bauer

You can't relax in this league.

Daniel Bard

It will be good to give some of our young boys a taste of league action.

Simon Delahunty

They have been (the best team in the league) all year, from Day One. They haven't had a glitch.

Rick Sweet

Anything can happen in this league. San Antonio could possibly lose three games.

Jerry Stackhouse

We'll have only one home game in each of the first two months of the new league season, which is a ridiculous situation.

Bill Midgley

Our competitor is the Cactus League in Arizona, and they are well aware of the contracts that are expiring (in Florida).

Rep. Nancy Detert

We always play hard on defense. I wouldn't want to play us. We are undefeated in league, and we are feeling good.

Derek Parker

If pitching holds up, if they do a good job, I think they have enough offense to carry them in the National League.

Tim Teufel

I don't think the league is getting boring.

Five Live

It would've been great to have a league championship. It would've been fantastic, but hopefully now we will be playing later on in the season for something a little bit bigger and better.

Naomi Martin

It's an unbelievable feeling. I mean, big league guys play here all the time, and now we get to play on the same field.

Ted Ratliff

We're in the Valley League now, so London will see every gimmick defense there is ---- box-and-one, triangle-and-two.

Dan Marshall

Over a season, he's very much the most consistent goalkeeper in the league.

Frank Yallop

We just can't believe this is happening. It's discrimination against us because we win. There has to be a winner in every league... we're not a team of all-stars, we just win.

Irene Bouzanquet

Obviously, Shannon James is the best defensive player in the league. I wish he'd hurry up and go off to the NFL.

Tim Stowers

Joe has tremendous upside. We feel we have one of the best up-and-coming rosters in the league.

Billy Knight

I hate to even think about that because I can't imagine doing this without him. I know that day is going to come. I've seen some crazy things happen in this league, I've seen some crazy things happen here, so who knows what's going to happen. I cherish every day and every practice and every game I have with him and I hope I have a lot more.

Joe Barry

I am proud of my kids, hanging in there and we have won two league games in a row; it is very hard to win two in a row in this league. We are looking forward to a couple of days off and getting back to work against Western Kentucky who is the top dog in our division.

Sergio Rouco

My expectations for this year are to work hard, swim fast, and be in the hunt for the league championship.

Darrin Millar

I just kept thinking this was for league and this is what we play for. And I really didn't want to play overtime.

Samantha Hubbard

That's always helpful to have kids that have been in the league. I keep saying this is a tough league. To have guys that have experienced it already, it will surely help.

Jim Gabella

The likelihood is that Mike might be served best in the American League, ... I've heard that. I guess he has to make that decision as well.

Fred Wilpon

You have no idea of what getting into a league is going to cost until you get into it.

Mike Strickland

The league is challenging the offer sheet. But there's nothing in the (collective bargaining agreement) that prohibits this from happening.

Richard Berthelsen

I'm just glad that we're finished with dual meets for this year. This is the first time since 1998 that we've beaten everyone in the league. That was one of our goals this year. These guys deserve it, they've worked hard all year for it.

Tim Ward

Our league is so very strong. I've felt that we had some good kids who were ready to explode on the scene.

Larry Niemeyer

Montclair probably has the best back in the league, ... There are no other backs in the league of his caliber.

Aaron Jackson

We believe the league dealt with the matter quickly, decisively and appropriately - and did not feel that any further action was either warranted or necessary.

Bill Daley

We believed in our defense and that we would eventually wear them down. But they are a good team. They didn't win that tough league out of Durham for nothing.

Rob Partin

It was a tough loss for us. It's hard to explain. The league is very competitive this year and on any given night almost anyone can win.

Dan Considine

I knew Shanahan would be ready. I know for a fact that in this league people are going to come to play.

Leon Bell

I have no intentions of changing our non-league schedule. We want to be at another level when league rolls around. League should count for something.

John Given

I told the kids that the team that's going to win the league has to win on the road. We only have one road game left and four at home.

Al Biancalana

We're playing with a target on our back. This is a vicious, vicious league.

Steve Rebholz

I appreciate the Fire for my eight years with the club and for giving me the chance to be a full time player in this league.

Jesse Marsch

Minor-league baseball will continue with replacement umpires.

George Yund

We welcome very much the Arab League conclusions as an opportunity for peace.

Cristina Gallach

We're in a very tough league.

John Forster

We knew going in that if we wanted to repeat as league champs this game meant everything. This game put us in the driver's seat.

Chris Olofson

It's a historic rivalry. When you look at the history of the league, Willard has 24 (boys basketball) championships and Bellevue has 17 and everyone else is in single-digits.

Greg Nossaman

We feel he's one of the four or five best centers in the league. My position is he should be paid like it.

Herb Rudoy

When I was growing up as a kid I was playing football or baseball or something else in the back yard, ... I always dreamed of becoming a National Football League player.

Brian Wells

We see teams all over the league score against a Cover 2 and we just have to attack it.

Brandon Jones

He's the best receiver in the league from what I see. He's the kind of guy where you just got to throw the ball in his vicinity.

Jason Gibson

I know for sure our team will be better. But it's all relative -- I don't know how much better the rest of the league will be.

Dave Waldow

His life expectancy wasn't very long after he was taken to the Animal Rescue League.

Chris Scanlen

Ever since I've known him, I've known first and foremost that he's just a great hitter. Every level I've played at with him, he was just one of the best hitters in the league.

Brad Hawpe

It feels really good. We've had a lot of close loses, and to win a game like this in the league feels great. It's a good way to gain some momentum before the district tournament.

Demetrius Jones

I think there'll be a few at-bats but it's strictly pitching. They've given me every indication that I'll have a chance to make the big-league club.

Brooks Kieschnick

He went to the NFL from our league. He's the only one.

Ron Rezendes

We're staying with the Northern League.

Rick Muntean

There is a lot of parity in the league. I think we're back to a more level playing field.

Chris Wells

League championship and getting back to states-that's the goal for the year.

Lou Cacchio

Hamilton was a team we thought was to be league favorites.

Ray Corbett

This is a place where you can win, and I think it's what the league wants and that's what they got.

Paul Kariya

Last year, she really stepped into a leadership role. I think she's one of the best goalkeepers in the league.

Stacy Price

I've stepped down a league, but this is a great chance to get straight back up.

Geoff Horsfield

Once they're officially in the league, they can compete right away.

Paul Blanchard

You make a few goals at the beginning of the season. The first is to win the league and the second is to get to Glens Falls Civic Center. We did that tonight.

Rich Hurley

We hope to finish in the top three or four in the league. It will depend on our ability to stay healthy and the development of the younger girls.

Paul Lushes

Friday is a huge game for us. We play each other three times in league. If we can get a win at their place, we have an edge.

Michael Groves

If Jay Smith isn't the coach here, then this university doesn't know what it is doing. This is a cyclical league, and he has the pieces in place to get back to the top. You can see it with how hard his kids play even when they are down.

Keith Dambrot

Delta is a team that's always real competitive. We are pointing to them as the top team in the league. They are well-coached and have great ballplayers.

Dave Roy

He's a beast, it ain't no hiding that. He's going to be a great player in this league for a long time.

Shaun Phillips

We had a few struggles here and there. We competed when we had to. Going 10-0 in the league is nice. It was definitely one of our goals.

Vernon Golladay

I seriously put him in the same league as Alec Guinness or Peter Sellers. If he had gone into film he would have been enormous in films as well.

Barry Cryer

This is obviously a huge win for us. It gives us a chance in the conference. This makes us 4-2 in the league heading to Joliet Township Friday. I'm really happy with the way we came out and competed.

Lawrence Thompson Jr

The league is a lot better than I thought it was going to be.

Bill Dranginis

Our plan is to consolidate in the league above next season and then start to build again from there.

Mike Hodges
