We came out nonchalant. Everybody was down. There's no reason for it. We came off a four-game winning streak. We should be excited. There was times we were playing our game and times we would just be there on the court.

Cherlanda Franklin

It's going to be fun out there. We want to be the ones to end the streak, but that's a pretty nice winning streak, so it's a little intimidating.

Matt Cathell

Any time you can win a game like that -- where you're like you're falling asleep and all of a sudden you win -- you never know what that can do. That could run us off on a seven- or eight-game winning streak.

Jeff Nettles

We're going to take the win no matter what. It was a good win for us and it kept the streak alive.

Josh Howard

We ended their winning streak. They may go off the next two years and win 100 in a row, but right now we ended that winning streak.

Bob Blake

We needed to get over this slump, and we needed to do it against a good team too. Everyone's competitive in our league, but this was definitely a challenge for us. It was nice to stop our losing streak.

Betsy Rietema

We were hoping to keep cruising through the OCC and get a win (against the Raiders) and still have a shot at the title, but we've still been playing very well lately to be on a seven-game winning streak.

Todd Parker

This is really what we needed. I'm praying we can get a little more consistency for the last part of the year, get a winning streak going and see what happens.

Tom Preissing

We talked a lot about it. Wharton ended our streak of 62 games against Hillsborough teams, but they were not ending this streak.

Mark Hermann

Great teams have to win on the road. So we have to get some wins on the road and get on a roll. We need to keep this streak going on into conference.

Drake Reed

I think it's always hard ... when you have a streak like that, you always know you are going to get everybody's best effort every game. That's what makes it special. It's something that has withstood the test of time.

Jay Blossom

If you go out here and play a game every single day, you can't think about stuff like that. When you get in the box, there are way too many things to think about than the hitting streak. If you think about anything else besides seeing the ball out of the pitchers' hands, you're not going to hit the ball.

Seth Johnston

I don't want to compare the guy to Barry Bonds, but the streak he's been on is very similar in that people aren't going to pitch to him if they don't have to.

Spanky Mcfarland

Tom took great pride in the fact he didn't miss a game. Like a lot of young broadcasters of the '60s and '70s, he learned that it was a 365-day a year job. You didn't take a day off just because you were ill. But, of all of us, he had the ironman streak.

Dave Van Horne

It's hard to get over playing like this, but as a team we know what we have to do. We just need to calm down and play like a team, like we were the first half of the season. We need to get back on a streak.

Liz Buttke

The nine-game winning streak is tremendous. But we're concerned about taking it day-by-day, and just trying to keep winning hockey games.

Cam Ward

I try not to think about it too much. Usually if you do the other things, the little things, the one-on-one battles, and focus on some of the other things, things take care of themselves. When you're on a streak, you try not to evaluate it too much. You just go play your game.

Andy Mcdonald

Everything started clicking and we started to streak. The breaks are finally going our way, and while there was no run support earlier in the season, now the offense is there almost every night.

Lance Davis

Too bad we didn't win. It would have been a lot of commotion and would have ended their win streak.

Chad Artz

I don't think people realize the sacrifice that went into that streak. Cal wanted to play every game, even in spring training.

Patrick Dempsey

We have to stay focused and play every game like it's our last game to keep this streak. I'm back, and I'm trying to get ready for the tournament. The conference is all even. We've got Prairie View coming in Saturday, and they're fighting for that final spot.

Tanika Nunez

There was from the advanced countries, and the United States in particular, a very strong moralistic streak. They lectured [Asian] countries on their almost moral failings.

Paul Krugman

I knew it was over. If we'd lost, I would've felt like, if I'd done something, we could've won. I'd give up a hit streak for a 'W.' For sure. We needed it bad.

Thomas Berkery

Somebody told me about that (streak). We're just excited about the direction of this team. We're still young and making some mistakes, but we're coming along faster than anticipated.

Danton Barto

This definitely exorcises some of the demons for us. I hope this is the start of a new streak.

Bryan Kelly

Every streak has to come to an end. At least he's a Mets fan. I don't mind getting beat by a real fan.

Matt Hoey

This is the first time we've played two complete halves. It's nice to get on a winning streak.

Stacy Price

Since, I've come back from the broken hand, I've been on a losing streak, so it felt real good to get this one.

Pat Thomas

We really stress taking one game at a time and I think to have a streak like that, you have to focus with one game at a time in mind. Really, (the streak) doesn't have any effect on us.

Wes Moore

We never really focused on the 96-0 streak. We just wanted to beat them. But, it was nice to be the team that ended the streak.

Curtis Haggins

The girls work really hard and are not used to losing. We are going to start a new streak.

Tom Busta

The 27-week inflow streak into Japan equity funds ended this week as accounting irregularities at an Internet company and a systems failure on the Tokyo Stock Exchange shook investor confidence.

Brad Durham

It's just been an incredible run, ... and hopefully it's not just a hot streak.

Jason Gore

We had a person streak the even, run naked across the football field. You need people who able to in fact say they've heard this or they heard that.

John Casey

It's been going on for so long that nobody cares. If they cared about that, Traip would no longer have a football team. (The streak) means nothing to them.

Aaron Ross

President Bush hates responding to the press, hates responding to political enemies ? he thinks it's beneath him. He's got a stubborn streak.

Tony Snow

We didn't really have anything to do with the streak. We were definitely trying to hold it, but we weren't able to.

Russell Robinson

When you know you can finish second the intensity is not there. We still wanted to win, but we knew that if we didn't make any major mistakes we had league wrapped up. We're happy because we maintained the streak.

Steve Wolf

It's been very frustrating for Bobby, I know that. That month he had was incredible. I don't think I ever saw somebody have a hot streak like that. But he's also had those injuries.

Tony Defrancesco

It was a good way to finish out our season, especially for the seniors. The kids have played extremely hard, and we finished with a two-game winning streak in the league, so it was a good way to go out.

Russ Riches

[Wright will get to experience all the color and pageantry of this storied rivalry up close when he tries to help the ninth-ranked Hurricanes extend their winning streak over the 'Noles to seven games.] Everybody has a story about this game, ... I'm hoping to create one for myself.

Kyle Wright

It would be awesome to make the 400th one the one against West. Plus, they have the (FVA winning streak) record tied right now, so it'd be nice to keep them from breaking it.

Krei Meier

We needed this win. Can you imagine if we lost tonight, then lost to Peabody on Sunday and had a 5-game losing streak going into the tournament?

Tom Grassa

We've been here so many times, but sometimes that streak starts to play on you. It sometimes can be a disadvantage. We have more all-around talent, but they had nothing to lose. It's a good thing we could get a win without playing our best.

Jodi Manore

I think the break really helped us. We were on a losing streak going into the break and it was good timing for us to get away from the game. We had a great week of practice and I don't think there was doubt in anyone's mind that we were going to play well tonight.

Geoff Sanderson

It's a tremendous accomplishment, it says a lot about how hard these girls work around. To maintain an unbeaten streak like these girls have is just phenomenal.

Ryan Sullivan

The players are self-motivated. Right now, they're the ones who really made this streak possible. I don't know what's come over them.

Jong Uichico

We've played solid defense all year, but during the losing streak we just couldn't make a shot. Now we're passing a lot better and our shooting's coming around.

Chris Rohlfing

We're all aware of it (the streak). But we're not really concerned about last year or anything that happened before that. We're focused on this season right now. The only thing we remember from last year is Buffalo Island (Central).

Kevin Hunt

Sometimes no one needs time off for anything, then it seems like we have a streak where we really need the subs, ... We might not call (the subs) for several weeks, then again we might call them every day.

Paul Reid

I kind of feel for them. I hope they break the streak.

John Buzhardt

You would not believe the doors that were opened this year compared to last year, based on making a bowl, based on turning it around and breaking that losing streak, getting a lot of national play.

Jamie Newberg

Most of the teams we played were bigger than us, but we really were missing our fast breaks (during the streak). That's going to be crucial for us come sub-state.

Dan Schmidt

The paradox about narcissism is that we all have this streak of egotism. Eighty percent of people think they're better than average.

Mark Leary

We just have to battle through this stretch. We went through the same thing at the start of the year with guys out and a seven-game streak and were able to come back. Hopefully we can do that again starting this weekend.

Aaron Gagnon

It seems like he's getting a real good look at the baseball. We talk about that day in, day out. And if you talk to anybody that's run in to a pretty good streak going, they're saying that. He's squaring up a lot of baseballs right now.

Randy Ready

It's all about keeping the winning streak going right now.

Jordan Roth

It's not about who we play, but about keeping up the tradition, about maintaining the streak.

Doc Rivers

The way it was in Philadelphia, after we got on the streak good, we stood around for a while with our game face on. No one would make any noise. We'd sit for 15, 20 minutes. Someone would break the silence by turning the shower on. Then we'd make our move to go home for another day. It was pretty much a strain on everybody.

John Buzhardt

We got two games in a row but we're still hungry. I was telling the guys that we were on a 13-game losing streak, so why can't we go on a 10-game winning streak. We've got a lot of guys that are really anxious to win, and we'll see how many we can put together.

Jumaine Jones

It's definitely a pride issue now. Nobody wants to be on the team that ends that streak.

Brian Corcoran

That's what's been killing me all year. We play good for a little bit - fight hard and do some good things - then all of a sudden, they let the other team get on a streak.

Tommy Barnes

It was totally amazing. I saw this flash, like a streak. Then I saw this explosion, like a big boom.

Jacek Purat

We don't even mention (the streak).

Terry Goodwin

This was big for us to break that streak of one win at a time.

Ralph Escalona

As far as I'm concerned, what I do is not a crime, because I'm only making people laugh, ... So I'm only being naughty, like a naughty boy. Anything is open to streaking. As long as you perform it in the right way, in the right context.

Mark Roberts

We've never had a streak like this. We think we've come to an end for setting a record each year, but we're projecting this is a new plateau because of population growth and household formation.

Walter Molony

We don't spend a lot of time talking about the streak. We just have a bunch of people who aren't used to losing, and don't want to lose. That's the way they play.

Brian Giorgis

If she's wearing a skirt, this means she's confident. If she smokes, she's got a bad-girl streak.

Christopher Curtis

We hit really big shots, I did, Pat did, everybody did. We have to take the winning streak further. It's really big for us to have a team effort like we did tonight.

Hedo Turkoglu

I didn't want to have a five- or six-game losing streak going into the playoffs. Getting a conference win right now was key.

Josh Montgomery

Once he gets that mean streak in him, he's going to be a handful because he has the skills.

Howard Moore

We need to get our winning streak going again. We should have had that game the other night. We need to come back strong.

Isaac Hines

It's not a big game. It's very important to win today, but just to break the streak they had.

Vladimir Guerrero

It's nice to have (a home win streak). It's always nice to know you're taking care of your own backyard.

Mike Quarto

Somewhere along the line we lost a step from our long winning streak and never got it back. We never regained the same level where we were at and I don't know why.

Gino Guyer

That means a lot. Nobody wants to be part of the team that allows the streak to end.

Steve Looney

Hopefully the offense can continue. We need big innings against teams like that. Hopefully we can get hot, because a winning streak would be a good thing to get right now.

Gary Kendall

That streak was phenomenal because of all the sacrifices he had to make. His family was so supportive, they told him 'You go broadcast games, we'll be here.' He did it not for himself, but for the fans.

Jerry Howarth

If you look at the streak we are on, different people have stepped up at different times. We're picking each other up. We're not letting situations that we get into keep us down. We're trying all the way to the end, playing nine innings, 27 outs.

Josh Rodriguez

Our losing streak ended, so hopefully the Leafs' will end theirs (tonight).

Aaron Wilson

I don't think it'll be tough. A streak is a streak. Everybody loses a streak once in awhile.

Brandon Rush

Sometimes in a losing streak you don't know what to say as a coach. Each time we got beat 1-0 it was heartbreaking, but (those games) are more motivating than if you lose 3-0.

Eric Steege

The winning streak is intact.

Eric Sondermann

I don't really care about the streak.

Eric Gagne

My junior season is very memorable. We made it to the state playoffs and had an 18-game win streak.

Elise Crummie

It felt like home being back at my alma mater and where I coached for so long. I really wanted this one, and it helps keep that winning streak going.

Eileen Givens

That's the beauty of our division. We're not so far behind and we feel that if we get on a winning streak, we'll be back in the race.

Eduardo Najera

They tried to rim the puck out of the zone and Sergei made a good play. He found me streaking to the backside. I just tried to lift it over his pad.

Zach Parise

We all knew he'd get on a streak. I knew he had it in him. He can keep this going for weeks. Be sure to print that so he sees it. He deserves it.

Evan Brock
