It addresses many things that have gone on in the league, and cleans up some things.

Lyle Bauer

It's going to hurt the team quite a bit because as far as I'm concerned he is the best defensive infielder in the league.

Frank Catalanotto

In recent weeks, the club hasn't been up to its ambitions which must be to compete in the Champions League. There's no reason to fault Laurent Fournier, but we analyzed the situation and decided to change the coach.

Pierre Blayau

There was a sense among Roosevelt's generation the League of Nations had failed.

David Woolner

I didn't believe it at first. The league shouldn't have to have a rule for something like this. It is called ethics and integrity.

John W. Gardner

This is definitely the best league in the state. It's a great honor to win the Federation title.

Kyle Pray

I am really excited about going out there and playing with some of the guys from different regions and playing with the best. Just the opportunity to represent the Academy in hockey and our league is just awesome.

Brad Roberts

We think [the league] is colluding to exclude us.

John Crotty

We've got to find a way to beat them. We can't play hang-on hockey. We've got to go out and take it to them and make plays and be aggressive. If you play hang-on hockey in this league, they're going to beat you.

Michael Cammalleri

In this league, you could make a case that every team deserves to be in the playoffs. But that's probably not going to happen.

Greg Sims

I was pleased with the outcome, ... Bret Harte is always at the top of their league and we know it's always going to be a battle. I'm very pleased with Katie Adams.

Steve Lee

In 2006 we'll have a lot of players coming up from (Class A Advanced) San Jose, where they won the California League Championship. If they can do that here it would be the icing on the cake.

Shawn Holliday

I came into the league as a fourth-line grinder that played a limited role.

Mark Messier

We've got to move on soon, because we've got a big league game here on Tuesday.

Greg Lowell

We definitely have a connection, ... We've played together since Little League, so I know where he is on the field at all times.

Chris Roberts

Honestly, I believed we could compete for the league championship. To get to the finals exceeded my expectations. Being realistic, these other teams get here year in and year out. We hadn't been since 1992.

Jim Sayre

I just don't understand. We dominated the league. It's not supposed to end like this.

Raheem Brock

All my kids have the green light. The league is taken so seriously while you are in it. This is about having good time.

Heather Stewart

I was found nothing! ... But the turning point for me was joining the Herpetologists League of Connecticut.

Scott Tucker

Don't be fooled into thinking that they aren't going to be good because of what they lost. They reload. The guys they brought back are some of the best in the league. They are the team to beat.

Bryan Kemp

I'm not looking for anything else. I have some friends who may get some big league jobs, but that's something that I can't control. I have a commitment to these people, and I'm very happy to do this.

Terry Kennedy

Nick is one of the outstanding athletes in the league.

Tom Lamb

It adds a layer of needed sophistication to the league.

Keith Pelley

And this year went through league undefeated.

Migail Graves

He's going to be a great player in this league for years to come, without a doubt.

Mathieu Schneider

We are facing what I consider to be the best side in the League at the moment. Most people expect little from us in this tie so we will give it our best shot and see what happens.

John Ryan

Pete has been two-three seconds faster than anyone in the league. The championships come down to who stands up and who does well.

Stephen Bell

Unfortunately, we now need to either find a 50-and-over league that will accept us or join a golf league instead!

Bill Ahern

I don't know if there has ever been a Smithtown team that's started out league play 6-0.

Dan Mccabe

It's the talk of the town. Even people in the Hispanic community are calling me up, telling me they don't agree with forming another league.

Bob Yevak

This early-season match-up will be critical in deter-mining the eventual league champion.

Dean Fischer

This league is really on an upswing, ... That's why we like it so much.

Peter Kirk

We don't have the money to do it. We're not a rich league.

Paul Roth

There isn't a team they can't beat right now. They've got a balanced offense, and their defense is one of the best in the league.

Harvey Johnson

I feel I got a lot accomplished in the (Development League) workouts. If I didn't say I wasn't confident before I went down there, it's not necessarily that I wasn't. But now I'm a lot more than I was.

Martell Webster

Everything is possible in this league. Don't be too surprised by anything we do this year. We know how good this team can be.

Darnell Dockett

It's almost impossible to get one of his pots. It's ... comparable to a Chihuly piece of glass. He's in that league.

Lois Willman

I think Cape will be one of the better teams in our league.

Randy Small

This is a big deal, especially to do it in a men's league.

Dee Johnson

When I was covering them, they had nothing and the league knew it. I mean, in 1986 David Archer led the NFC in passing for the first half of the year and that was it.

Chris Mortensen

The district manager wanted to win the league, ... That's why I got into IT (information technology).

Joe Tucci

It's not to publish a league table [for consumers] - it's to improve understanding.

Kevin Carr

We're one of the best defensive lines in the league. Never give in and never give up. That's Jaguars football.

John Henderson

They're in the big leagues now. And they're paying big league money for this chance.

Dennis Howard

They've been the first-place team all year and they're the most balanced team in our league. They've got a team that just finds ways and different people to win games.

Marty Williamson

I'm definitely bummed. It's OK -- I don't go play for them, but I'm still here in Major League camp and right in front of all the coaches and everybody. Both have their advantages and both have their disadvantages.

David Aardsma

Support from the Keystone Citizens League shows there is a groundswell of local grassroots support for this.

Amy Kemp

Cornell liked what he heard back from the league and has decided to pursue this avenue.

Randy Edsall

Said Millar, who is .306 in last 75 games after hitting just .231 in his first 44, to bring his average to .276. ''I've been a .290 hitter in this league for the last eight years. At the end of the season, I'll be right around there.

Manny Ramirez

They are definitely the most improved team in our league without a doubt. We will have our work cut out for us.

Laurel Heilman

It's too early to say whether we will bid, but we are interested in acquiring all sports content, including English Premier League.

Stephen Ng

Obviously, you want to play in the highest league possible, which is the NHL.

Brian Sutherby

We're as closely matched as ever. Kimball beat us in the dual meet (167-169), while we beat them in the two league meets.

Sam Lynch

The way it's structured, there isn't a league in our area that would work. If there was a league in our area, that would be something we would look very hard at.

Frank Lee

This is a sad day for the Minnesota Twins, Major League Baseball and baseball fans everywhere.

Carl Pohlad

We've got to go to bed ready to get up and play. When we get to the rink, it's the same thing. Get there, get ready to go out and have fun. It's a great place to go play. It's the best rink in the league. We should be excited to get out there and play.

Tracy Egeland

I wanted a game between now before our league games (next week).

Jon Judkins

The NBA is poised to continue its evolution from an urban basketball league to a global entertainment company.

Rick Horrow

It certainly is a very difficult group,. We're still bleeding after the Champions League final and want our revenge.

Paolo Maldini

He is the best senior in the league. He's a Division I player, a hell of an athlete.

Bryan Kemp

I don't know what the coach before was thinking when he set the schedule. We are just playing some teams that are out of our league.

Cindy Guthals

The girls played really hard tonight. I'm pleased with the way we ran up and down the court. It's a good way to start league.

Darcy Wingo

This a great measure for league. We lost two close games to league opponents and when we see them again we will be ready.

Chris Olofson

Our goal was to win a league title, coming out of nowhere because no one expected us to. Going to state is icing on the cake, and we're going to do the best that we can do.

Gary Fischer

This league means a lot of sleepless nights. We have to figure out how to get it going again.

Sean Mcdonnell

We believe it's a strong league. We're excited about it, but the team was not able to fulfill its obligation to the city.

Brahm Dubin

We are a little too confident right now. When we get to league, we won't be able do that because of the competition there.

Rhonda Jefferson

We had four goals when we came out of spring training. Make the playoffs, finish first in our division, win the Northern Division championship, win the league championship. We've got two out of the four. We're halfway there.

Jim Buckley

That was a real big win for us. We're pretty excited. To be 5-0 (in league) right now is awesome.

Gregg Ford

We just had a lot of good athletes at the time. We won league in just about everything. It was one of those time periods where top to bottom, senior class to sophomore, there were a lot of good athletes.

Clint Johnson

We know we can play with any team in the league. We've proven it before, and when we play hard, we play desperate, we're one of the top clubs, too.

Jozef Stumpel

This is the most competitive the league has been since I've been in it without question.

Jeff Caldwell

The Tommy Moe League is just for fun.

Dave Crosswhite

I could become a free agent. I'd have to go to an American League team, like the Mets. That sounds funny, doesn't it?

Paul Molitor

David has proven that he can be a solid goaltender in this league.

Craig Billington

It's very frustrating. I've never seen this kind of weather before. Everybody I talk to is frustrated - college coaches, little league coaches.

Pete Pijl

We have now qualified for the 2007 Asian Champions League and I am very proud of that. We will all be celebrating today.

Guido Buchwald

They have major-league players. So people know now that we can play against major-league players.

Frederich Cepeda

If we're all clicking and on the same page, we can beat any team in this league.

Ricky Hickman

He had a bit of an off year for us, but it was his first in the National League and his knee was bothering him. He still led us in homers and RBIs.

Carlos Tosca

We've established that rivalry with San Jose, and we'd like to keep it going. It's good for the league, it's good for both teams, and it's fun.

Herculez Gomez

Defensively, again, we are going to be tops in the league.

Patrick Mcverry

I think this game is only going to get better. It?s been getting better every year and now with the National Football League involved and coach Campo, it?s going to be a big thing.

Jim Buonocore

He's in a league by himself. Alex has forgotten more about jazz than most of us remember.

Lew Dutrow

They have been in the league for quite a while and have a good reputation, ... I try to get in their head.

Josh Bullocks

In our league every game is important because there are only five games. The key to our season last year was beating Turlock.

Dennis Stubbs

It's a great feeling. There are so many talented broadcasters in this league, so I feel honored to win this award again.

Tom Hart

Tell me about it. I just went back to basics. When I started struggling, I just have to go back to when you were in Little League. Try to find your base, try to find your balance.

John Rodriguez

When a pitcher has an ERA under 4.00 in this league, that's really good, ... To be this late (with his ERA) and to have 180-plus innings and an ERA under 4.00, that's all new territory for me.

Josh Towers

You can't step off the bench to go fight, that's wrong. That doesn't belong in the game. I think the league, as it always does, will do the right thing in handling that.

Kevin Constantine

It feels really good to win our last home game, especially since this game meant so much in the standings. We tried to stress that to the team, that fourth place in the league was up for grabs.

Ashley Pelzek

Chris Santos hit a huge shot. It was a great battle between two of the top players in the league. Our Dan Cook won the MVP and Santos was the runner-up. But Chris Santos just keeps coming at you.

Chris Dubose

I enjoyed it out here when I played in the Arizona Fall League (in 2001). It was a blast then, so I'm happy to be here.

Orlando Hudson

I think it's a great accomplishment for these guys. To match what last year's team did is a hard thing to do. I don't care what league you are in.

Chuck Vallero

No one is going undefeated in this league like Monterey did last year. This league is too good and balanced.

Kelvin Garnett

It's definitely embarrassing to come out here for our first ACC game (at home), and to be 0-3. I expected to do well in this league. We're 0-3, but we're going to get wins in this league.

Jared Dudley

Talking with our agent and everything, we're all pretty confident. We could play in the A-League if we didn't make the MLS.

Brandon Moss

He can be the Barry Bonds of this league. He's dominant and he can make everyone else better. They won't pitch to him.

Al Gallagher

There are no easy games in our league (but) I look for us to be in the upper half near the top. We'll hold our own and be right in the mix.

Bill Womack

They don't see professional umpires being that important at the minor league level.

Chris Ward

We must now concentrate on the domestic league.

Andriy Shevchenko

It's a clear majority headed toward the League of Taxpayers.

Richard Zuercher

We could only justify it if we were guaranteed Champions League football for the next three seasons. There is no guarantee.

Rudi Assauer

I lived in Louisiana. They (the recreation league) wouldn't let us play until we were 8.

Shannon Hildreth

On paper, we're the best team in the league. We'll find out what that means if we get our field cleared off for Delta.

Rich Sadvar

Defenses in that league have got 11 guys who can run. The field shrinks.

Joe Novak

Our league is so tough and we don't have a lot of nights where we could do this. It was a nice team effort.

Rodney Selph

The stability is very important to this league, and the potential over the next decade is huge.

Jerry Colangelo

We've had a great year. These guys have won 27-games and we were literally a couple of bounces away from going 30-0. ... We led the league from start to finish.

Jerry Carrillo

Junction played well; they're a quality team. I really think this is anybody's league.

Mike Frazer

Call up any coach in the league right now, and they'll tell you about how hard our guys played. The guys gave me all they had.

Donell Morgan

This should be a good battle in the league between the two of us.

Bob Aronson

They might be the most balanced team in our league. They believe they can beat any team. That attitude has gotten contagious over there.

Tu'u Seva'aetasi

This is an international city, ... and the NBA is an international league.

Gavin Maloof

We've established ourselves in the league.

Gareth Southgate

Jason is not an average player in this league, he's turned himself into a great player. He does everything well.

Steve Perdue

His first coaching staff was an excellent staff. The people he has hired have had experience in the league. He has surrounded himself with some good coaches.

Dick Hoak

We'll obviously have our hands full in (that game) and any game being part of the league we're in.

Terry Allen

Dutton gave me a good ball. That's how I separate myself from the rest of the league, going up and making plays.

Damian Harrell

If we didn't have Kindred we wouldn't have been in the ball game. Nobody in the league can play with him in the post.

John Lentz

You don't go out and take anybody cheap. We're not going to shut everybody out, there's no way. There's too much talent in the league.

Dean Yonamine

To get up in there and by right around the top three or four in the league, I can say, 'Yes, I was one of those guys for one year that was able to save a bunch of games,'.

Bob Wickman

We're the underdog. Scotts Valley is the league champ.

Jay Gomez

It's been a pretty tough day. It's a different league up here. The kids are trying hard and we're doing the best we can do, so I'm proud of them.

Tommy Sanders

After winning the Champions League three times, I think I can allow myself to say that I'm not afraid of anyone.

Clarence Seedorf

Best in the league? Wow, that's nice.

Willie Bloomquist

I have to worry about it because it's my job. You have to go there and pitch. You have big-league hitters you have to get out. I'll continue to work and hope to get better and better.

Pedro Astacio

The Ivy League is a step up for the most part.

Roy Coates

If we get up into that league, we'll have issues larger than naming these storms. The new phrase will be hurricane fatigue. Let's coin that right now.

Frank Lepore

If you're going to play hockey now, you have to be able to play. If you have the ability to fight and play, you're an unbelievable commodity. But if you can only fight, there might be six of those guys left in the league, and I can guarantee they're going fast.

Brett Hull

Our league will be tough. Telluride has been tearing it up down south.

Jay Oxley

I don't even know what to say. That's how shocking this is. A lot of us grew up in this league with Tony as our coach. And not just with Tony, but with his family and his kids. It's just stunning.

Mike Alstott

Winnipeg has already been there for the league -- in good times and bad. We're back in the East and we've represented the East in five Grey Cups (1988, '90, '92, '93 and 2001). Let's hope history repeats.

Lyle Bauer

Without question, this is a very challenging schedule. The Southern Conference is an outstanding league from top to bottom.

Pete Lembo

I think he's the best player in our league and tonight you saw why.

Bill Powell

We really didn't accomplish what we really wanted to. We weren't really focused on the league championship; we were focused on the county and state championship.

Rashad Bishop

I think it all bodes well for a league that many thought was on an up cycle to begin with.

Fran Fraschilla

He's good; he's a competitor. I've said it -- when he's on, he's one of the best in the league. No doubt about it. He's got to be our best player. Five of our last six points have been on the road, so it's been quite a challenge for us. We've got four of six at home now.

Nate Leaman

My only claim to fame was being all-conference and that came from leading the league in fouls. I averaged 4 a game. Thank God Joe doesn't foul much.

Kelby Krabbenhoft

Among those were Negro League teams.

Paul Melvin

Probably one of the best games that I was a part of since I've been in the league. Up until then, everybody was talking about their streak and how they were winning. No one was really giving us a chance.

Orlando Pace

Then when he got a chance to be a running back, in the Cincinnati game, he did very well. In this league, you've got to do that about 100 games in a row.

Lee Suggs

For me to know I can go in and win in this league is a huge confidence booster.

Alex Brink

I feel that anything can happen any night with the bottom five teams in the league. It will be a battle to see where things finish up going into district.

Sol Jones

From a fan perspective, this is the jewel of the Cactus League.

Alfonso Felder

You do have to give Hug the edge in our league. They won it last year and they have a lot of those guys back.

Mike Rippee

We want to win every league game possible. We don't want to have a tie for first. We want to go out as the No. 1 seed.

Jon Reichardt

It's just really an overall feeling of joy. That's the only thing I can say. I feel like I'm a little kid again, playing Little League for the first time.

Chris Denorfia

We wanted to come away with a win more than anything. They (Cornell) have been one of the top teams in our league. And it was such an intense game.

Scott Seney

He's a great player. There's not a lot of kids that can play him man-to-man in our league.

Clayton Randall

Having the depth is where good teams become great, as far as I'm concerned. I think he's the best, if not one of the best, depth guys in the league. If you can even call him that. He's a great asset to have, no doubt about it.

Colin Doyle

He left us without saying anything to anyone. The league said they hadn't heard from him. So we had no financial backing.

Richard Morton

Barry did a great job. With the amount of injuries we had, Barry deserves the coach of the year in our league.

Mark Wells

This is your last chance. And I'm not talking about one of those Major League Baseball Steve Howe kind of last chances.

Leslie Nielsen

Santa Cruz is the best team in the league. But I think SLV will have something to say about that.

Stu Walters

We'll take it. All we wanted was a win to get back to 6-6 in the league. It was a tough game to win. We found a way.

Tony Longa

It's going to come to the bitter end. This year's league is very competitive and the two teams that finish consistent from here on out will go to state.

Joe Humasti

These guys have a lot of respect for Lamar. Because of (Lamar), around the league you never hear anything bad said about Kansas City and this organization.

Brian Waters

No question that this is a way (for the league) to do something to me.

Sean Avery

John had the tag of being the fastest footballer in the Premier League and he made an immediate impact.

Steve Ogrizovic

The tournament is just a preparation period for the league season. The league is the most important thing.

Mark Soderberg

It definitely was a chance to show us where we're at offensively, defensively and conditioning-wise. And it was a chance to experiment with some things we wouldn't have an opportunity to try in league.

Mike Stair

There's so much parity in our league, you never know what's gonna happen.

Mark Schmidt

It's shaping up to be a very tight league. Everyone has already won at least one match.

Noel O'connor

You're right, but Alexander Cartwright was a good friend of Shakespeare's and they played a prototype game in an amateur league back then ...

Fran Healy

It doesn't surprise me, because this is a league that has a short memory.

Terrell Buckley

I feel confident that we can score some runs and be one of the top teams in our league.

Mike Allard

It's like a trend that's taken over the league.

Michael Jenkins

Having a team in Lexington would increase fan support in the league.

Pat Malone

They're young and sometimes (mistakes are) going to happen. They're both freshmen and that's hard in our league. But they're both good pitchers.

Theresa Carroll

Miguel is a well-respected guy in the league, and that takes a lot of pressure off us.

Josh Willingham

At this point, they are all must wins. Because the league is so close, everybody knows you've got to win out.

Carol Simon

Pretty good. The kids are really committed to the first league game. We will work harder than anybody... that's our thing.

Dave Baron

We have earned enough points to be at least fourth in the league and qualify for the state championship.

Gene Sooley

They've been one of the best teams in our league for the last few years. Our kids never quit. They never gave up.

Lane Donati

In our league, if you lose one game, you're pretty much out of it.

Andy Bitto

I believe that Dana Brown is one of the best young amateur talent evaluators, especially when it comes to pitching, in Major League Baseball.

Jim Bowden

They've had our number the last couple years. Their quarterback is one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

Chris Scelfo

I think there will be a place for him in this league. I'm not sure where it will be.

Brian Levy

The win felt especially good considering some of the close losses we've had (four in league by a total of 13 points).

Rob Durling

The young guys don't understand how hard you have to defend in this league. But give (Bassett) credit. He stepped up.

Paul Swanson

Nothing has been decided yet. Wooster is going to be loaded for bear after their first conference loss. We'll approach that game as though it is the league championship game.

Matt Godsil

During the early years of the J-League, there were a lot of foreign stars, ... But this lasted only two or three years. Now it is the Japanese players who are the stars.

Peter Velappan

Ole Miss is a fantastic job, and they play in a great league.

Owen Miller

I like the way it plays out, ... We'll find out how we are going to do against the league right away.

Lisa Stone

At the end of the day, the Hutchinson situation created a lot more controversy than anticipated. I think it's in everybody's best interest to let it die and let the league handle the issue.

Rob Brzezinski

Going undefeated in this league is something. It's not easy to do. There were a number of tough games in there.

Chris Givens

Kids should practice autographing baseballs. This is a skill that's often overlooked in Little League.

Tug Mcgraw

I was here for the Champions League draw and there was feeling that we could and should have been there. But we've got to put that behind us now.

Keith Wyness

When he comes to the league, he probably will be the best rookie.

Alex Ovechkin

Tolland is an exceptional team. They probably have the best player in the league. We definitely have our work cut out for us.

Drew Dipippo

In one way, it's a good thing. In another, it's bad because you could easily get all 20 Premier League clubs in the next round and they could go on to dominate the competition.

Graham Sharpe

You cannot strike out in your first major-league at-bat.

Marlon Anderson

[The Patriots] are envied by a lot of teams around the league. I'm just happy to be here.

Amos Zereoue

The Ivy League is definitely part of the third that's a reach. The [CAA] conference itself is much better.

Roy Coates

He?s certainly our most valuable player. And he may be the most valuable player, as to how he fits with our team, as there is in the league.

Ron Everhart

When you have a guy who can put the puck in the net, check the league, there aren't too many guys like that.

Steve Ivcic

We can win any game anywhere in this league, ... That's not being pompous or whatever else, we feel that we can. We're not going to win them all, but we feel that we can.

Bob Gansler

We know that our season ... this is what it really comes down to right here, where the record is going to be a little more important to you in our league than out of conference.

Charles Lee

We're 24-0 underdogs, because we come from what people say is a weak league. We're going to do some damage at state.

Romeo Wheeler
