I expected a close game, a very physical game. But I think we stretched them out there in the first quarter by hitting a lot of threes and then we started getting a lot of offensive rebounds, and I think it just kind of snowballed from there. We knew we could run some sets and I told them before the game, if the shots are dropping, let's run with it.
Matt Harr

Silver was stretched out pretty good here.
Frank Lesh

Marty Booker
I needed a 1:04.5 to qualify for districts and I got a 1:04.31. It was my best time ever in fly. My turns felt real good. Breast felt good but it was a little slow. My turns were good but my stroke felt too stretched out.
Sarah Miller

Mark Zandi

Roger Lempke
I'd say they could go two years on reserves without getting to the point where the state comes and says to do something. Perhaps it could be stretched to a third year.
Rodger Hannel
When you couple the higher bills that people with adjustable loans saw with the higher-than-expected energy costs, you see a lot of homeowners stretched beyond the point where they could make their payments.
Rick Sharga
We didn't stretch him out too far. Every time I stretched him out a little bit further than his comfort zone, you could see there was a little bit of a limp. ... We're still a ways away, just because of the nature of the position where you stop and start so much.
Brian Butterfield

One of the things that is really unique about Neal is that, although he stretched out so fast and even though he didn't have some of the strength he has now, he maintained his skill level. That's really rare. Typically, when kids grow that fast, the phone rings and they fall, and that didn't happen with Neal.
Bill Whitehead
My mother flew out to see us on April 9. She had never flown before, and that snowstorm stretched from the Midwest to the East Coast. Her trip from Omaha was filled with delays, rough flights and circling airports for hours. She swore she would never fly again.

Most people see this as a long-term challenge. The short-term money is needed because we have some services that are stretched, but we need a long-term approach.
Dr. David Nabarro
Forget the interpretations of recession. We're still talking about a relatively stretched economy. There is no justification for the Reserve Bank to abandon the firm interest- rate outlook.

That was a game that we were going to have to play extremely well the entire game to win, and we played fairly well for three quarters. Part of the fourth quarter was fatigue. Too few were doing too much. We just made mistakes. We were stretched very thin.
Mike Hidde
I may not be where I was last year, but I'm where I need to be. That's a good sign, but it's not about being able to do that once. Last year, I was able to do it for three, four innings. I just haven't been able to get stretched out yet.
C.j. Wilson
What I draw from that is it confirms how tight the market actually is right now. To us, the big picture is we are in a situation globally and here in the U.S. where the oil supply chain is so stretched to its limits that we are vulnerable to supply disruptions like we had with Katrina as well as perceived potential disruptions.
Doug Macintyre
Now the situation is so that we can proceed with improving this side of our production process. This is why we started this new product line. Stretched templates also known as liquid templates are available as both HTML templates and Flash templates.
David Braun

Joseph Battipaglia
They made shots. It is just that simple. We couldn't stop them. We didn't put enough pressure on the ball, even though we stretched out the defense. We let guys get off, and we dug ourselves a hole early in the first half.
John Chaney
While the quarter was a solid one and forward guidance positive, we believe that valuation is stretched.
Heath Terry

Claude Mandil

Bruce George

Todd Hunter
We have to do extensive and time consuming repairs to each one of those 300 phones. We are conducting those repairs and getting out there and doing that, but because there's such a high number of phones that have been damaged, our resources have been stretched.
Shawn Hall
At this moment, we are the most stretched.
Carol Hughes
Clearly, the number of dollars required in Medicaid, very stretched already, will increase. It would be amazingly callous, and to me, unconscionable if they insist on these Medicaid cuts.
Sherrod Brown
The NPA is very understaffed and many of their posts are vacant. And that is a problem because we would hate to see their resources stretched. If the government intends on pursuing this policy then obviously resources must be made available, extra staff recruited and an extra budget be allocated for this purpose.
Sheila Camerer
That second one we had a hand right in his face. They stretched the lead to six or seven and then we were taking bad shots. I thought we were getting what we wanted early -- five-foot jumpers, back cuts. But once the lead got away, we started to take bad shots.
Norm Persin
I've turned it more than once and it's pretty stretched out. All it needed was a quick tweak and it was OK.
Theresa Lisch

Julius Baer
A quintessence scalar field is like a field of springs covering every point in space, with each spring stretched to a different length, ... For Einstein's cosmological constant, each spring would be the same length and motionless.
Eric Linder
Though I don't question your ability, I do question your ability to be everywhere all the time. How thin can you be stretched?
Eric Everson
He?s had one of those years where he had some high spots and some low spots. There was talk of starting (Pedro) Liriano, but with his health issues (a stomach ailment that cost him nearly a month of action) he isn?t stretched out enough. It?s good that the game falls on Gavin?s day to pitch.
Ed Wade
I think our bullpen is one of the better bullpens in the nation. Instead of just having guys in the bullpen, we actually have an idea of what innings we're going to throw, so we can prepare better and get stretched out.
Zechry Zinicola
Repair and assessment operations are going on as we speak and the hurricane season is just around the corner now. Resources are already stretched to the limit.
