Tim Becker

Alex Cora

I wear my jacket pretty much all day. A lot of people are.

Dustin Pedroia

They're not as big and they get pretty good fuel economy.

Gary Dilts

I was pretty disappointed with the outcome. We're still very inconsistent mentally and when controlling emotions. We don't do well enough controlling things we can. The mental aspect of the game will be something we will be working on soon.

Jonas Piibor

It's pretty cool. After what we've been through, you just have to laugh at that.

Tim Spite

We were pretty close. We had a lot of games that we had a chance to win and couldn't get over the hump. But that's a good sign and in the next couple of years, we'll hopefully start being able to win some of those games.

Steve Wammer

It's highly intense work. Everyone is pretty much on stage the whole time.

Carson's a pretty good team, ... They're a lot different than Hug is. Hug is so big; Carson flies around pretty good and they're very active on defense. It took a while to get adjusted to that, but the kids came back and gave a great effort. This was a great win for us.

Paul Mills

Ben Kwong

A couple of more minutes. We have got to get out of here pretty soon or I am going to need a new boat.

We put them on the line and that's pretty much where they won the game from.

Brent Dugan

They are going to desperately need to find other employment pretty quick.

Tom Weatherly

I'm pretty happy with the job Adam did. He hit the first mile faster than we wanted, but all things considered, he did a consistent job and brought things back under control. It was a nice race for him.

Bill Kuhns

We're pretty confident we have some of the best buildings in the world here, but there are always going to be losses, because these are extraordinary events.

We are down in pretty low territory.

Art Ayre

I think he's going to be a good pitcher. He seems to be a pretty focused and dedicated player.

Skeeter Barnes

Overall, Madison is pretty progressive and a lot of the people are very socially aware of the kinds of issues in food politics ? what organic is, what sustainable is. They are concerned about their environment.

Brendon Smith

We had a game plan to pack it in and make them beat us from the outside, and we pretty much stuck to it. But for about five minutes there (in the second quarter), we forgot what to do.

Doug Knox

The metabolism of the oil industry picks up pretty smartly when oil gets above $40 a barrel. It's fair to say there are a lot of bottlenecks in the oil and gas industry, so in many ways it's ripe for investment.

James Gelly

It was a really good game, a pretty rough game. Free throw shooting really was the only difficult part of the game.

Kari Williams

He pretty much did it all. His improvement was key to our success. He'll be our big gun next year.

Chris Whirlow

We played pretty well the first 30 minutes of the game. We shared the ball well, we moved the ball well. We had a 1-0 lead, but after they scored to tie it, we basically fell apart. They were beating us to every ball.

Rudy Rodriguez

That helped a lot. I know what mindset I have to be in. It feels pretty good (to be one win away from states.) I have to stay focused through my semifinal match.

Kyle Gilchrist

I've played with a bunch of guys who have played in big-league stadiums. I haven't, so that sounds pretty cool.

Travis Hanson

Twelve and 0 in district is pretty good.

Scott Roy

Every once in awhile you get a miracle, and someone's cancelled. But pretty much from the end of the June, to mid-to-late September, we're booked solid.

Ben Fisher

We're pretty inexperienced on defense. We hope we can match up with them when they go into their four and five wide sets, because they're libel to go deep at any time.

Tony Campanale

I've gotten phone calls from all over the world. That's pretty cool.

Alan Boston

She went to Geneva? You know what, we didn't discuss it. She's been at Montini for two years and feels at home. She's had a pretty good career here in two years, (and) I'm glad she's here.

Jason Nichols

You just can't prepare for the injuries that we've had. Its also pretty tough when you also have young kids who haven't played at this level get thrown out there to play baseball.

Josh White

It's pretty neat, especially with our team doing as well as we are in this tournament. It means a lot with our team doing as well as it is, but I don't think we would be doing as well as we are if it wasn't for our coaches.

Abbie Rush

They've got pretty good balance. But, most of their big plays have come through the passing game.

Rod Wright

There is some pretty widespread devastation.

Mike Cox

The first thing I do after a game is call my mom or brother or someone, and I don't know how they do it, but they get the information before I can tell them, ... It's pretty funny.

Jose Contreras

Defensively we just broke down. They kept coming at us pretty hard. Regardless if they got the bounces or not, there?s just no excuse for how we played defensively.

Andrew Leach

When I hit it, I pretty much knew it was gone. It felt really, really good. It was right down the middle and I just swung. I knew what I had to do for my team.

Heather Doiron

We've actually had two or three of these and out of the funds we've raised, we've helped 283 kids go to camp that financially wouldn't have been able to go. It's been pretty beneficial for us. All of the money raised helps send Scouts to camp.

Marcal Young

When we get a top side we are pretty good and we will have a chance to measure ourselves in the next six months when we play against sides such as Australia. Potentially we remain a very good side.

Chris Cairns

The first half was a pretty level game. (Aberdeen) came out strong and made some great defensive plays.

Troy Anderson

A pretty woman is a welcome guest.

Lord Byron

In the next two weeks, it's going to start changing. And it's going to be pretty dramatic.

Douglas Hamilton

Just to think of them doing 'A Day in the Life,' with that full orchestra revving up at the end? That's a pretty thrilling idea.

Mark Maxson

We hope every year that this is going to be the one. I can't wait for the derby. It sounds cocky to say you expect to win, but I'm going with the idea that we have a pretty good horse.

Gretchen Jackson

It's been pretty tough. But the coaches have done a great job of keeping the game fun for us. Coach Ingle stresses what he calls 'backyard basketball.' When you've got your best friends playing alongside you, you're playing for more than just the game. You don't want to let each other down.

Golden Ingle

It was pretty much exclusively by midday a Nasdaq rally.

Terence Gabriel

I was eaten up pretty bad after the canoe trip.

Chad Pyeatt

We felt if we could get four sessions to bowl at them, then we'd be pretty healthy.

Graham Barlow

It can get pretty annoying, and if there is something that is so important just put it on silent or vibrating alert. It's very rude and distracting.

Sarah Nelson

Timely hitting and scoring runs. We know we have a good defense, and we have pretty good pitching. We'll be all right.

Paul Fernandez

Getting to the playoffs is tough. The sections are more balanced and it's getting harder and harder to make the playoffs. Any team that makes the playoffs has to be pretty good and they're all battle-tested to come through their sections.

Gene Brisbane

I think he had to grow up pretty quick. He hasn't gotten too many breaks. No one gave him anything once he came into the league. He's had to earn what he has now. I think he's doing a great job. I think he's on course. Keep in mind he's 16 years old. He needs time to develop.

Ben Olsen

They took him away pretty well, but in the first half we took the other things they gave us.

Ray Lauwers

We expect tomorrow's mission to be a flawless conclusion to a program that has supported the nation for pretty much half a century.

Pat Smith

We did have pretty good spacing.

Al Gooden

Jim had a little bad luck on the second playoff hole and that opened the door for me and I hit a pretty good shot out of the bunker.

Wes Short Jr

'The Big House' is 'The Big House', but there's ways to prepare for it. I think we're pretty adjusted to it. We go week-in and week-out with crowd noises in big stadiums, so I think we'll be fine with it.

Jeff Samardzija

It felt pretty good coming off the bat.

Samantha Fleeman

We've done a pretty good job of getting the first run of the game and of the first half this year.

Tony Wingen

Earnings so far have been fairly robust. And if you look at projections, the short-term looks pretty good too.

John Butters

We moved the ball pretty good offensively. Will pitched a very good game considering the cold weather. He got a little wild after 90 pitches.

Rick Fowler

He was a true big man down low for us. He made some big shots and played tough. He pretty much did what he wanted to.

Nathan Bilyeu

We're trying to get there. Everything is new to me, the terminology, the offense. I'm grasping it pretty fast.

Cedrick Wilson

Everything I achieve is a major step. From just playing to doing this now, it's pretty crazy.

Michael Garnett

It does give the guys a lot of confidence going into the next few Test matches. We know they'll bounce back. The (Perth) wicket was pretty flat.

Jacques Kallis

I didn't feel like myself anymore, and after having just no stretch marks whatsoever and going from that to going to a lot of stretch marks and having them pretty much everywhere on my abdomen, it was a big change.

Kristen Cruz

We shut him down pretty well. If we can frustrate him like that every night, hey, we're good.

Cam Janssen

We went out there and we felt like we had a pretty strong showing. We told the kids to go out there, do their best and have fun so we could see where we were.

Mike Shaffer

Right now we're focused on public policy and making law. I can't talk about things that are pretty much irrelevant right now.

Margita Thompson

We were very excited to be back on the field. The players were upbeat and very positive. The coaches are doing a great job. The retention of the players, as well as their conditioning, was actually pretty good.

Jay Thomas

It's going to be pretty hard because we've all had our clubs kind of a long time, and to get new clubs right now in the middle of our season, it's going to be really hard to get used to it.

Nicole Aoki

Not everything in my life has been pretty.

Frances Newton

Firestone is a great team. They deserve to be 20-1 and ranked where they are. They would win in pretty much any league.

Mark Loomis

Oftentimes, executive [pay] tends to rise at a slightly higher rate. All categories have been pretty even.

Charles Peck

It went pretty well. I'm really looking forward to it.

George White

The end of 2003, we took a second in Huntington Beach (Calif.) and we were pretty consistent after that. We were in the top five, won twice this year; we've always been in the mix, and we've rarely done poorly.

Todd Rogers

How are you going to retaliate for keeping people warm for winter? It's a pretty brilliant strategy.

Larry Birns

I've had that situation in high school a few times and I've been pretty successful.

Chris Hernandez

I knew it was gonna be close, we both had a pretty good camp. Coach Robinson went with the guy he thought could win.

Joe Fields

He said it hurts pretty bad.

Jim Finlen

I'm expecting a pretty tough series [this weekend]. It's the end of the season and they're fighting for position, too ... so we're going to play hard and hopefully we'll beat them this weekend.

Nikki Burish

Our guys were pretty hungry, and it was a good win for us. We continued to pick up the pressure and were able to start running the court, which is what we like to do.

Jimmy Wallace

It's really a light bucket. It won't take pretty pictures.

Paul Horowitz

It'll come down to who makes the right adjustments, ... It looks like all of us have pretty good cars in the cool and pretty good cars in the heat. When you're that close, all it takes is one mistake.

John Force

We had a long talk. It was a little one-sided, but it went pretty well.

Ron Moschella

It's pretty exciting for me, because I don't skate this race very often.

Kristina Groves

It was pretty intense. It changes you, you know.

Andrea Okomski

Ohio voters are pretty smart. They know that Bob Taft's problems are his own.

Mark Weaver

We didn't have to block some crazy looks which may have created problems for us. But at the same time, they did a pretty good job.

Bill Legg

Most of us lost everything, ... and if you do have something, you're not getting into New Orleans anytime soon to get it. It's pretty amazing to go from having everything to having nothing in a matter of 24 hours. Coach stresses to us that we shouldn't worry about ourselves right now. We're OK.

Anthony Cannon

Everything is pretty much one-sided -- the fact they only talk to Abreu about it, and the fact that they won't do an internal investigation.

Krystal Brown

We're pretty happy with that. We've gotten a couple of seniors back in Conte and Stover. They've only wrestled about 10 matches each.

Mike Humphrey

After that first goal, they came pretty quick. We just had some trouble getting going, but once we did, we played well.

Brian Adams

There's something about this group. This is a pretty unique little team. They've got such good chemistry. By the end of the year these five guys have a chance to be great.

Bruce Brockbank

It's pretty nice when you buy a business and the previous owners are there working side by side with you. It makes it easier.

Cheryl O'bryon

I think [our scores] are pretty comparable [to other contenders]. If we have Heather back and we have all our injuries fixed up, we have just a good a shot as anyone.

Carrie Rotondaro

It felt like a bomb exploded inside my body, pretty much. And not a small bomb — like an M-80 firecracker. I just hope I never feel that again.

Kayla Burt

I think people come forward more when there's a big problem. They tend not to when things are running pretty smoothly.

Marcia Hummel

I give them a pretty good chance, with all New England has to come up with to reconstruct their team. Everybody gets to the breaking point, and I think (the Patriots) are pretty close to that.

Jim Nantz

I thought we did a pretty good job defensively to hold them to 70, which is probably 25 under their average. But unfortunately they held us to 30 under our average. We have to do better scoring.

Debbie Taneyhill

Most of our clients are testing prototypes. We've worked at it pretty hard. We're working with the governor's office very closely. They're working hard.

Doug May

Just spontaneously I'm hearing, in a good I would say 85 to 90 per cent of the homes, that they're pretty frustrated with the whole situation here.

John Cameron

It's a pretty good jump. It gives us an indication that the market is gaining strength, but not at last year's torrid pace by any means.

Rick Laws

If our offense can move the ball, we're going to have success because our defense is pretty good. We're not great, but we're pretty good on defense. By the endo the season I hope people label us as a great defense.

Brad Franchione

The numbers are pretty astonishing.

Scott Croswell

That's pretty good. If we can take care of business at home, and win those last two road games we have, we should be in pretty good shape.

Gerald Cox

We've done this before, and I guess they'll hatch in a month or so. We've never been able to raise them, however. They're just too hard to feed or to find stuff to feed them. They need a lot of tiny plankton. So once they hatch, they'll go away pretty fast.

Keith Chandler

We went out and played everybody we could. I think we're in pretty good shape. Now, it's a matter of where you're going to end up playing.

Joe Mckeown

The knee is doing pretty good. I'm getting out there and battling with the guys everyday. It's really not a problem for me.

Chris Hester

We're kind of weekend warriors. It's been going pretty well and we're still grateful to be playing.

Joe Thomas

I make money using my brains and lose money listening to my heart. But in the long run my books balance pretty well.

Kate Seredy

Web users ultimately want to get at data quickly and easily. They don't care as much about attractive sites and pretty design.

Tim Berners lee

I won't say you can get rich at it, but last year was a pretty good money year for me.

Mike Forrester

You take away those last nine games from us and we wind up in third or fourth place. (But) you have more time to prepare for (conference) games and you have more time to play other conferences, which is pretty interesting.

Frank Cruz

We just kind of use this in the Spring as a time to get out of the house and see your neighbors. It's a pretty neat time.

Don Deal

We're planning on presenting some pictures, showing why it is being closed and what kind of condition it's in. It's in pretty bad shape, honestly, and it needs help and needs it soon.

Katy Renfroe

It was a pretty good match. We have been playing for about two weeks straight, and today we had a lot of quick matches.

Robert Brunn

She's a pretty motivated kid. She's always trained hard, but she really trained even harder all summer, even after she'd already committed to BYU.

Dorne Hall

It's pretty scary and complicated. I heard of one guy who lost $50,000 on his first deal. I don't want to make this sound like it is a simple business.

Wayne Dellinger

I was pretty upset. Right now, I'm paying $3 a gallon pretty much.

Ryan Baker

Overall, we had a pretty good day. We had a lot of good things going on, but we can't be complacent. We just got to step up.

Mike Holloway

Tiger grabbed his (the child's) stuff. I didn't get his autograph, but just walking along beside him like that was pretty special.

Donathon Stover

Time will tell, ... but I feel pretty damn good about him being a good player.

Kevin Rogers

We played pretty error-free volleyball in league. Our serve-receive percentage was in the 90's, and that's huge because mistakes on serve-receive are what give other teams momentum.

Kristy Dwyer

He was pretty much responsible for hiring the faculty early on in that department. His confident leadership helped to develop the School of Planning into the excellent program that it is today.

Tom Wagner

It was pretty high, man. It was way up in the sky. My cousin from Midland called me and told me he saw it.

Joe Gutierrez

They're a pretty good team. Hopefully we'll have a good week of practice.

Laura Mcgaffigan

The players really hustled and played pretty well on the defensive end.

Bill Ramsay

I hit the ball really well today. I was 5-under through nine holes so I had things going pretty well. I putted better today after not holing much of anything the first two days.

Nick Flanagan

There is a lot of basketball. We try to separate it, but invariably we talk basketball pretty much all year 'round.

Dave Fouch

We came out with a lot of intensity, but Hampton made some adjustments and got a pretty good feel for what we were doing. We just wanted to come out and play well, and give people a chance to get their minds off everything else.

Steve Haren

This is the first sunny day I can remember in two months. Everything seems pretty stable now.

Russell Harris

Pretty much everywhere we go, there's been a lot of excitement this year. Everyone seems to be enjoying the game.

Manny Legace

He's as good as anyone -- kid or veteran -- making adjustments. He knows himself and knows the game, so he can self-correct and improve. David's going to play at a high level pretty soon.

Mike Cameron

Pretty much nothing happens when they go to court now. The courts are reluctant to give someone a criminal record because it could hurt them in the future in applying for college or other things.

David Deiuliis
