Two disappointing losses. We can't really hang our heads. We're right there. We had our chances to beat both of them. But we have some improving to do.

It's frustrating, definitely. We know we can play better. All three of our losses in the conference, we had a chance at the end to win. We just have to play a little smarter.

Pat Berg

I said it back then, that those early losses at home were going to come back and haunt us because we knew we would be playing five of our last seven on the road, ...

Richie Adubato

Without a doubt, that's one of the most frustrating losses I've ever been involved with as a coach. We just didn't show up, and we wasted a strong effort by Derek. We didn't compete at the plate.

Bob Hamley

Our hitting has been very much improved. I liked what I saw. Defensively we will get a little better. We made a few mental errors and that was the difference in the two losses.

Todd Bright

The shorts are running for cover, buying whatever they can to keep their already huge losses from getting bigger.

Harry Ticman

You know what, if I saw a team with six losses I'd probably think we should go in and spank them.

Dan Moser

That's been our Achilles this year. In three conference losses, we've had 23 errors. It makes it difficult to win when you do that.

To our knowledge, none of our members has sustained any losses.

Jeff Kennedy

Those were a couple of tough losses. But you are going to have your ups and downs during the season. It?s all about bouncing back.

It's tough, coming off two losses and going on the road to a place where we haven't had much success. Historically State College has been a tough place for us to win.

Chad Cassel

It's not about wins and losses at this point. It's about seeing what we can and can't do and learning.

Mike Goldstein

I am not satisfied with going from blowout losses to just losses. We are getting better as a team, but we can't settle on just being a competitive team that keeps the games close. I want to win.

Atlantic has taken the brunt of those losses, particularly in 2005.

Carl Stralow

We're anticipating more high-tech job losses based on the downsizing in the process of occurring now.

Cynthia Solorio

Illinois haven't had the season they've wanted. We can't think they've had some bad losses and they are done. Anything can happen in the Big Ten.

It seems like everybody has got a little more pep in their step right now, ... Unfortunately, we had a couple of losses at the beginning of the season but the division is up for grabs now.

Willis Mcgahee

The most important thing in life is not to capitalize on your gains. Any fool can do that. The really important thing is to profit from your losses. That requires intelligence; and it makes the difference between a man of sense and a fool.

William Bolitho

The software walks you through it. If you put in an address in Harrison County, it will ask you if you had any losses due to the storm.

Kathy Waterbury

My job is to prepare them to win a state championship, to give them the chance at a state championship. Those early season losses were good for them. They've grown and developed.

Julian Sensley

Six of our nine losses in the last three years have been at Fountain Central. It should be a good indication of how good we can be this season.

Bob Swank

Most banks haven't had those overseas losses. It would be hard for one bank to push up their rates if no one else is.

Bert Ely

Jessie Boylan

The fundamentals remain challenging, with continued market share losses and cash-flow burn expected in 2006.

Rob Hinchliffe

Chris Capko

When there is a big catastrophe, rates don't go up in other parts of the country to make up for the losses. That's not how it works.

The mill and the converting facilities have been the sources of losses. The converting facilities have had more persistent losses.

Paul Latta

We have had a season that exceeded my expectations. We finished the regular season with 20 wins and six losses. We won the Seacoast Class L championship.

John Hodsdon

We've been on this trajectory for about 15 years. We're seeing increasingly bigger disasters and increasingly higher losses. Now just about any place a hurricane is going to come in, it's going to hit a developed area. This is the way it's going to be from now on.

Kathleen Tierney

Use the losses and failures of the past as a reason for action, not inaction.

Charles J. Givens

Bernard M. Baruch

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

Phil Gabrielsen

His only high school losses came to some of the best wrestlers in the country.

Steve Powell

Vince had 30 wins and 2 losses.

Gil Brandt

We're aware of it. There's no question after two seasons of 90-plus losses, fans don't necessarily feel that.

Chuck Armstrong

A win is a win. It was a sloppy win, but a win nonetheless. I'll tell you what ? after two losses, we needed this win bad.

Joe Novak

War is a racket. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

Smedley Butler

So what we're trying to understand is how to control these losses and in some cases minimize them.

Robert Bowman

Since the losses, the intensity has picked up a little more. I guess we're not getting away with as much now. She's gone back to the old ways of being tough, really.

Jordan Davis

We've got three region losses by five runs. We needed that one.

Barry Hightower

On the issue of head count, inevitably there will be some losses. Where and when that comes we can't say.

No business person could justify these kinds of losses continuing.

Lance Conn

Last year seven of our eight losses were by one goal. With experience they're the ones we expect to win this year.

Gary Davies

This will be one of the - if not the - biggest single event in terms of insured losses in U.S. history.

Jason Tapp

Maybe those (losses) are a blessing in disguise because they have to work harder.

Dan Newbill

Unfortunately, we had a couple of losses at the beginning of the season, but the division is up for grabs right now. New England is losing, Miami is right there.

Willis Mcgahee

I would have to say that was one of the most disappointing losses in my career so far.

Jelena Dokic

Our rebounding killed us. In all of our losses rebounding has been an issue. We must become a better rebounding team. We need kids to step up.

Mark Douglass

Respect in this game is about wins and losses. The fact is, we didn't win. So they were right and we were wrong.

Bryce Fisher

We learned a lot from the two losses. If we do see them again we'll know what to expect and we'll be more prepared.

Shannon Francis

On top of declines in the US overnight, losses on UMC further weighed on the benchmark index.

Stanley Chou

Funds have been reporting big losses, so most investors won't have to worry about paying taxes on capital gains.

Richard Andrews

If we win this game ... it will erase all the other losses we've had.

Ali Ryan

Our opposition are facing heavy losses.

Mullah Dadullah

Countries have far exceeded what is science-based and they have further complicated the losses to the industry.

Alex Thiermann

That's what hurt us in the three losses we have, because all three of them were by one run. Early in the season we weren't getting those two-out hits, and now we're getting them. And that's the difference between wins and losses.

Dan Bowling

I'm not afraid of a challenge. I've taken my losses like a man and have done the same with my decisions outside of the ring.

Damian Fuller
