I hit ninth the first month, and to be in the top 10 in runs scored, that's putting in a lot of work. There was a stretch where I went 1 for 30 and I was hitting ninth. That's why stolen bases are not even important. It's getting over so guys can get you in.

Chone Figgins

It was a great contest. The doubles were close and we were happy to be able to win that point. We went out strong in singles, but Texas really fought back. Fortunately, we were able to get the upper hand down the stretch in a couple key matches.

Lele Forood

The longer we can hold it there the better. It will stretch out the supply a little more.

Maury Roos

It's a function partly because of where we're living now. Our suburbs are stretching a little closer to the woods, and we like living in the woods. We enjoy the wildlife, so we're now a bit closer to where the predators are.

Stephen Zawistowski

And we can feed 500,000 people for two months if we stretch it.

Michael Jones

It was a back-and-forth game the entire way. We just weren't able to make the plays down the stretch. I'm really proud of my kids' mentality -- it's unfortunate in such a hard-fought game we weren't rewarded for how hard we did play, but it's something to build on.

Brian Meneely

Because the human face is made up of many small muscle groups, it's very hard to animate. Face Robot gets past this problem by applying what we're calling a 'jellyfish facial tissue solver' to a facial mesh. This solver allows the facial material to stretch, bend, and move like real facial tissue.

Gareth Morgan

Lakewood is a team that plays hard and they are never going to go away. They made a couple 3's down the stretch to cut the lead to five but our seniors did a good job in putting the game away.

Tony Sweet

We thought he'd go on and win it when he got in front in the stretch. He'd never gone that far before, or carried more weight, but those are just excuses, and I don't want to make excuses. We thought he'd win.

Fred Bradley

They had a stretch where they turned the ball over a bunch of times, but we were doing the same thing on the other end, so it's only a matter of time before they get going, and they did that.

Bill Carmody

The simplicity of language, the sparseness of the word on the page, the way a few words stretch my mind across big spaces - all this is here.

John Fowler

These games are like boxing matches sometimes with give and take. We had a stretch there that was a dogfight, but we had the patience to work through it and Kayla played a phenomenal game.

Rick Risinger

We did not honor certain critical possessions down the stretch like we should have, and it proved detrimental.

Hali Robinson

We were ready from the start. But it's going to be tough down the stretch.

Kristian Huselius

You know it's that stretch of food that maybe none of us would need. But it is very helpful in a time of need.

Nancy Perry

It was a very aggressive game, but I thought our kids stepped up and handled the pressure extremely well. I thought we were able to handle their press and get some big baskets then made some big free throws down the stretch.

Jamie Rains

This airplane, I believe, will be a superb machine for operating with the airlines in terms of its economy, ... To match (the 7E7), the competition is really going to have to stretch out.

Peter Gardner

In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men's reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present.

John Dos Passos

There's no question things are stinky at Gap, but to say fourth-quarter results will be so bad as to cause them to violate their debt covenant is a huge stretch of the imagination.

Richard Jaffe

We played with poise today. They pressured us but we handled it down the stretch. We've lost some close games and I was worried that would bother us today. But I never saw any doubt in our players' eyes.

Tony Duckworth

It definitely helps, the big game experience we've had in the past, especially last year. I guess that really showed coming down the stretch, when we were able to keep our composure when they made their run.

Anthony Gurley

They executed better than we did. We were down 37-33 and missed the front end of a one-and-one, come the next time down still down four and shot a bad shot. Good teams are going to execute down the stretch and we didn't. We had some good shots and we missed free throws.

Dan Feagler

I got a couple big offensive rebounds down the stretch that we kind of converted on. So plays like that, a couple tips here and there on defense, things like that ... Coach has been preaching to the team about.

Brandon Bowman

I'd say the game went like the season. We started off bad and then we had a good little stretch. We just fell short.

Drew Tate

We certainly missed some great opportunities in close down the stretch.

Jim Tusing

I saw Snowy go down and I knew something was wrong. I just jumped the boards, started stretching and looked up at the clock. There were 8 or 9 seconds left, so I said, 'Let's get through that and then we'll go.

Wade Dubielewicz

We just picked it up on defense. It was really a good stretch that we had and got the lead.

Anthony Tolliver

We're not at the stage yet where investors are panic-stricken by any stretch of the imagination. Concerned perhaps, but certainly not panicky. I think from a volume standpoint, safety and quality (is where) the money was moving into and moving out of what we call lots of P and no E companies - lots of price and no earnings.

Wendy Strub

The school has been in a lot of turmoil because of this principal, and we are looking at a process that could stretch on for months and could thereby cause a great deal of disruption in the school. We felt that the situation was just too volatile to let this happen.

David Cantor

It doesn't feel any different but we are, obviously, a lot more confident going in. Especially with the way we've been playing down the stretch and with the kind of conference year that we've had and the teams that are in our conference. We're just bringing in a lot of confidence.

Shay Doran

Randy made a couple nice stops. They had a couple breakaways down the stretch that could have made it a 4-2, 4-3 game. He came up big when he had to. But the biggest difference was our puck control.

Ryan Sarazin

Just down the stretch, it's about making plays, making shots. Sometimes it just boils down to making shots.

Andrew Brown

Are reaching a home stretch. We're hoping that we'll reach some kind of conclusion in the very near future.

Jack Shaw

His attractiveness has increased because he has been in a very high-profile program and his record is good. The Florida team played well down the stretch even though he was lame duck. And I certainly think that the win over Florida State will enhance his chances.

Chuck Neinas

We knew that St. Mary's was going to finish strong. They have a good team and they really battled back in the fourth quarter. But we played pretty well down the stretch, when it mattered most.

Mike Deiters

This was a great college basketball game. Both teams left it all out on the floor tonight. I felt like the real difference in the game was our ability to get defensive stops in the second half that fueled our offensive tempo. I am very proud of my team and the way the made plans down the stretch to earn the win.

Bart Lundy

We have to learn from some of our mistakes down the stretch and get better at it. We haven't played in a lot of close games lately. We kind of struggled a little bit. These games prepare you for the post-season. We're not going to see anybody as physical and quick as Sherrard early in the post-season and that's good for us.

Dan Watson

That was a real good tournament for us, a nice stretch of games. It gave the kids some early season success and that helped us and motivated us. We have been pretty consistent and have worked hard to improve.

John Rosner

We held Jon under his average both games this year and still came up short. We just didn't hit the shots down the stretch.

Pat Lewis

That's what a good team does, they make their free throws down the stretch and they did that. That's a strategy you use when your down at the end and you hope and pray they miss their foul shots and they didn't. That's what good teams do, they make them.

Scott Minnig

They (Bucks) are going to hurt some people down the stretch. We were very fortunate to win this game. Heck, we were fortunate to get it to overtime.

Tim Ehresman

That shows we took the heart out of them. They're a good team, but we didn't expect them to play like that down the stretch.

Tony Bethel

It's not an uncommon occurrence by any stretch of the imagination.

Sharon Gamble

We've missed her. She's a good, smart player. If she can give us a few minutes, that helps. She's not 100 percent by no stretch of the imagination, but it's good to see her out there regardless.

Sam Sides

He basically just said, 'I need to stretch my legs out. I've been sleeping in that tank with my knees up to my chin and I just have to stretch out. My legs have been cramping up.' It seemed that innocuous, but he would die two days later. It was a warning bell that we did not know what to do with.

David Bloom

I'm very disappointed that I'm unable to represent my country, but after speaking with our doctors, we feel it's the best thing to do at this time and my only real option. We will now use the Olympic break as a part of my rehab program in an effort to continue strengthening the injury for the final stretch of the season.

Kari Lehtonen

I've been with people who see the white light, who sit up in bed and stretch out their arms.

Webb Brown

In a 100-foot stretch of yard, you can't put trees that close together.

Robin Sutton

She ducked in a little bit in the stretch, but that wasn't anything. She's doing so good right now. I had an outside post, and I could stay away from the rail in the middle of the track and could just go. This has to be one of her best performances.

Javier Castellano

Even with Fordham and Lipscomb, we've been talking about taking it one game at a time. We've got a stretch here now that we really need to lock in to every single game with preparation. I just like the mentality of our team right now and I like the demeanor.

Sue Semrau

I think we are searching. We went into the season with a certain identity, and obviously things are changing right now. We have one of the best players in the league and a good coaching staff and good veterans. It's a tough stretch right now.

Sarunas Jasikevicius

This win gives us a lot of momentum after a rough stretch of losses during the middle of the season. We've done a great job since we went to a new defense during the second half of the season.

Ken Grisdale

Those dollar amounts are not going to stretch as far, ... Do we have a problem? Yes, indeed.

David Fox

We want to go to the free throw line. We've been pretty good at the line, but we had a stretch where we weren't.

Mike Purcell

The road's a safe road. It's a straight stretch of road, ... We'd have fewer accidents if people would just pay attention and slow down.

Denis Murphy

Their experience is huge compared to ours and that showed down the stretch. They stepped it up to a different level.

Lyle Mcintosh

We're working on our defense. We've got rebounds, toughness and self-respect are the four things we have to work on down the stretch.

Jason Winfrey

We tried to keep the defense up on them and that led to getting our offense started. I was as happy about our defense during that stretch as I was about our offense. We tried to drive in, penetrate and then kick it out.

Jason Dawson

They do a lot of great things. They are pretty solid with the ball. Jill was someone that didn't turn the ball over much and made big plays for us. Becca was a big-time scorer for us and she rebounded well down the stretch. They were a big part of our team.

Mark Nore

We had a little stretch there with the 100 hurdles, the 100-meter dash and the four-by-two where we made a good push in the track meet. Those kind of things spread throughout your team and then they all want to start competing a little better. There's a little momentum involved in track, too. Not everybody realizes that.

Corby Maurer

Luckily, you get a couple days off after that tournament. He's been doing a lot of running, just stretching it out and keeping it loose. All wrestlers at some time throughout the season are a little bit banged up.

Ryan Nunamaker

When I got to Ronnie [Pierce] at the head of the stretch he was working pretty hard and his horse looked spent.

Dave Palone

That stretch of highway is prone to pretty difficult conditions particularly because of the wind. It's a stretch of road we've pretty much been looking at since it was built.

Dave Kingham

Our defensive pressure down the stretch is what got us over the top. We had a couple of huge steals that put the cap on things. We then hit a couple of big shots, but it all begins with the defense. When you play good defense, the offense takes care of itself. Defense has been our bread and butter all year.

Dave Deters

I honestly feel like this game was taken away from us, but if we handle their defensive pressure officiating is not an issue. Give credit to Mayfield and Roberson for playing big down the stretch. They're class players.

Dave Walla

I was hoping we'd stretch out the lead a little more, because I knew they were going to come back. The tough thing about this game is that it's like playing for the championship in the middle of the season, and you don't know how the guys are going to react after it's over.

Brian Morgan

He's a big, tall, physical guy and has a lot of ball awareness, ... He is a guy who can stretch the field. I think most people who play against him kind of underestimate his speed up and down the field. Because he's a tall guy, he has a longer stride.

Travis Fisher

When he threw it, I was on the goal line and had to kind of stretch out for the ball, ... I knew I was going to have to turn around and get an extra yard and get in there.

Desmond Clark

There was a stretch where we could have put them away but we couldn't get anything going offensively. We shut them down but we didn't do anything about it. We just didn't execute.

Dale Teller

This wasn't a must-win, but we had to play well because we've struggled a little bit lately on the road. Our kids played well. Down the stretch we just took care of the ball and rebounded. It was a great win. A terrific win.

Mike Conner

It's been a long road, but I feel pretty good about coming into the home stretch.

Chris Williston

There was a lot of stretching going on to make it seem like there was any religion involved with it. It's a one-minute statement with nothing religious in it. But the perception of the voters is what counts.

Jim Cashman

I was real impressed. When he came down the back stretch, he was flying.

Larry Holsey

I've seldom seen the likes of this continuing fine stretch of weather.

John Osborn

(The pets) may take some deep breaths, some rapid breaths, sometimes they'll give a little stretch, or sometimes they'll just stop.

Cathleen Green

We just had a bad stretch in the third quarter when we threw away the ball four straight times after we took a one-point lead (23-22).

Lance Marifke

We're the worst free throw shooting team in the conference. We missed six of eight down the stretch and you can't afford to do that on the road.

Steve Pikiell

We're just trying to get the best players on the field. We're hoping down the stretch, with what we did this summer, that our conditioning will pay off for us.

Johnny Sowell

He's just a real hard worker. As soon as they're done stretching, he's on that board and he's usually the last to leave practice. He just has a love for the sport, which is nice to see.

Joe Kosman

Camille made some big shots there at the end. I thought we played hard and I was happy with how we executed down the stretch.

Mark Trakh

I think it's going to be close, ... Two-thirds, though, is a lot of votes. I wouldn't say I'm confident by any stretch of the imagination. I do feel like it has a lot of support statewide.

John Proctor

We don't look at their record. They just make more runs than we do down the stretch. Guys tend to hit shots that they usually don't hit. I don't think we underestimate nobody.

Jamaal Tinsley

This was our first game playing without Travis, and he's a double-double guy. He's a kid who's very athletic and would have helped us down the stretch. He played a big role in our five wins.

Dan Mahurin

We've got to stretch leads instead of making stupid mistakes and letting them back in.

Toby Bickel

This is for people who steal public property. This is used all the time, but not for situations like this. Because there isn't anybody in this for gain -- for pecuniary gain -- I think it's a bit of a stretch.

William Banks

These freshmen are strong and have plenty of international experience, especially Mauricio and Kim. They are such good competitors and have really been strong for us down the stretch.

Bob Callahan

Down the stretch, it came down to our guards hitting free throws. This is a game of runs, and we were fortunate to have a run tonight.

Frank Castillo

We've been very lucky, but we're not out of the woods by any stretch of the imagination.

Joe Colwell

We made our free throws down the stretch and then finished them up. It was just an overall great team effort.

Marty Reid

I think we played well down the stretch. Our guards need to be more aggressive and drive more from the perimeter.

Melanie Balcomb

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

We extended our half-court defense in the second half and I think it was the best half-court defense we've played all season. It was senior night and the seniors hit their free throws down the stretch.

Brodie Flaherty

It was a good thing that I always had to go somewhere today. You were pulled here, pulled there. It was either an interview with someone, or TV, or it was time to stretch, or get to the batting cage.

Curtis Granderson

Losing Samantha hurt, but we still ran our offense and had a chance. Sometimes when you lose the heart and soul of the team, everybody else picks it up and the girls did. The shots just didn't fall down the stretch.

Dick Steele

I certainly wasn't the idol of millions. I just happened to get good parts. And so I wasn't worried... because I could see these character parts stretching on into the, you know, dim days of the future.

James Whitmore

We didn't finish. We didn't execute our offense down the stretch and they did.

Nick Lewis

We came over right before they closed the pool, so I did some extra stretching. We had other things we could do, so I didn't let it affect me.

Kate Ziegler

We showed we had some character and that it's not over until it's over. We just made some bad decisions down the stretch that cost us.

Tom Thacker

I was proud of our effort for three quarters. Unfortunately, we didn't finish the fourth quarter well. Our inexperience showed a little down the stretch; we play a tough schedule and right now are battling some injuries to key players.

Bob Curtis

Hodson played very well down the stretch and had 11 rebounds to go with his 12 points. He and Robinson gave us a lot tonight. Robinson did a great job around the glass and they turned nine House assists into points.

Rod Wallace

Old reliable, our defensive effort is what sustained us. I thought we made great stops down the stretch. They have two outstanding players and a nice supporting cast, and I thought we did a good job in the fourth quarter, particularly the last four minutes, of making huge defensive stops.

Frank Allocco

You have a very conservative strategy even though the bond stake isn't great. They're not going to stretch to produce yield.

Russel Kinnel

Out of that whole stretch of games, that was probably the worst of the worst. Four-nothing was probably the bottom of the barrel.

Ryan Malone

Mount Vernon started to come back a little bit there. But I think our girls did a good job keeping composure, that's something we have struggled with this season. Then we made our free throws down the stretch when we had to have them.

Kris Kleeman

We have been waiting all year long for that to happen. Our defense was our offense early in the game. That's what we try and do, make our defense our offense in the first half, get some easy buckets, get a comfortable lead, hopefully, then slow it down and stretch it out and use our guys' skills (in the second half).

Mike Denault

It was a pretty even game the third quarter. In the fourth quarter we just didn't do the things down the stretch to win. Loudonville executed real well.

Brian Blume

If we nickel-and-dime a couple of runs, we had a chance, because we played them even after the first inning. But we had a tough two-game stretch and got a split with Durant and Chamberlain, so I'm not upset at all.

Mike Clamon

They tried to stretch as long as possible by dipping into tax reserves.

Su Shin

Kareem has been in so many big games over his career at New London -- both he and Lee Mitchell -- that we rely on those guys to come through for us and lead us down the stretch.

Craig Parker

He was big down the stretch. He's carried us lately. I couldn't be more proud of his effort all the way around. He's improved big time and not just at shooting, but his defense and going to the rack and rebounding.

Aaron Mattox

You took an area that already has a struggling social service safety net, and into that net you dumped 250,000 people who desperately need help. We weren't helping the folks who were already here and now we're really going to have to stretch.

Scott Mccown

It's nice to get out and play a game after we stunk it up Friday night. Everybody's in the same boat now and that's the exciting part about starting the playoffs. We just played Madera; we felt like we should've had that game. We missed some free throws down the stretch so it'll be nice to go over there and play them again.

Tim Amundsen

Jimmie Johnson has been inching closer and closer the last three years (at Daytona). He's got a car that's capable, and he has a team that's very capable. He has the ability to take it upon himself to make the right moves down the stretch.

Micah Roberts

Last year, (the team) went with her for a long stretch just after Christmas.

Jason Lesteberg

We did a good job of keeping our composure when they made the run on us in the second half. Noelle Hall had some big baskets down the stretch for us, which is what we needed her to do.

Curt Fredrickson

Hospitals already are stretching scarce resources to respond to the daily challenges of providing care to all who come through our doors. Cuts to these resources will have a negative impact on the availability of care for the patients and communities we serve.

Dick Davidson

She felt something crack. That injury thing affected the girls and they were concerned about her. We played a good first quarter then lost our intensity in the second quarter and stopped doing what we needed to do. We found some energy down the stretch.

Frank Leafe

It's hard for me to say how we played. In close games, I worry more about coaching than the players. Alexander Central played hard, harder than us at times, but I'm proud of how we executed down the stretch.

Jay Murray

Tonight, execution was the key. Down the stretch, we made mistakes and missed on some easy opportunities. Amherst capitalized in those situations, and that's why they earned this game.

Gary Beadles

There was a 3- or 4-minute stretch where Meghan Hurley was unbelievable. I thought that stretch that Meghan played was the best she's played all year.

Frank Cawley

She is a pretty good free throw shooter. She went through a rough stretch when she wasn't shooting the ball well. But she practices it and she figured out what she was doing wrong. As long as she gets to the line those are free points and you have to get those and capitalize on that.

Paul Alepra

It is a kind of a way to play games with monthly payments. Stretching out the mortgage maturity is simply a way to lower month payments and stimulate sales.

Dick Bove

I think both kids played their best all-around basketball in that five-game playoff stretch leading us to the state championship.

Steve Shingledecker

My opinion is to stretch the dollar. The fifth-sixth-grade plan is ultimately the best.

David Murphy

... by stretching yourself beyond your perceived level of confidence you accelerate your development of competence.

Michael J. Gelb

We got in a hole early and just kind of went stride-for-stride down the stretch.

Todd Taylor

He always worked so well, so when we were sprinting him we were just dumbfounded that he wasn't performing any better. He was one that definitely needed to stretch out.

Tom Albertrani

We just happen to be in a stretch of really dry air. It brings us really low humidity and pretty warm temperatures.

Gary Campbell

I don't know if it's an advantage for us anymore, ... It's just that time of the season where everyone's in a tough stretch.

Brian Dunseth

I thought our guys really did a good job down the stretch. I thought we really played with a lot more energy and a lot more focus and played at a higher level that we need to play with to win in this kind of environment.

Willis Wilson

We played really well. Down the stretch we had chances. We had a chance to get a lead; they hit a couple (of shots) and we didn't.

Chris Lander

Musical ideas sprang to my mind like a flight of butterflies, and all I had to do was to stretch out my hand to catch them.

Charles Gounod

The games are only going to get tougher as we make the stretch drive of our conference schedule. There's more on the line, and teams with better records than those we've faced thus far are also going after the same goal we are.

Mike Ferda

I'm always nervous when we miss free throws. Coalfield's such a good team that if you give them chances like that, it's going to burn you, and luckily our defense was right where it needed to be down the stretch to keep them from getting another bucket.

Angie Lucier

No one has tasted them. They resemble the La-Mian noodle, a traditional Chinese noodle that is made by repeatedly pulling and stretching the dough by hand.

Lu Houyuan

This is a tough loss for us. We played hard enough to win, if we had executed down the stretch. It's about mental lapses, and we had some mental lapses at crucial times.

Steve Kellar

The big thing is, there is no tension on this team. I've been with some (Houston) clubs going down the stretch in a playoff race, and teams get on edge. On this club, everyone is so relaxed it's almost like they don't care. But the results say otherwise.

Scott Elarton

Except for a four-minute stretch to start the third quarter we played exceptionally well. It was our best defensive effort and we were under control on offense.

Chris Gallerani

(West Campus) played exceptionally well. We were in control the whole way, but down the stretch we had to keep our composure and make free throws. It was good for us to be in a battle like that at this time in the season.

Ron Pucci

I'm fortunate to have this second chance, and I expect to make the most of it. I'm looking forward to helping lead our team down this conference stretch.

Marcus Morrison

He's not all that verbal on the field. But when we needed big plays down the stretch, he was there for us. You could see it in his eyes. He was going to make something happen. He's got this inner drive that makes him valuable.

Avery Cutshaw

We played well for three quarters and just got in a hurry there in the fourth. We made some mistakes but regrouped down the stretch.

Aaron Mattox

The thing I'm most proud of is that after they took the one-point lead, we made plays down the stretch. In the three games we've lost, we had a lead and then the other team came back and we did not respond.

Bill Wagner

We played really well from beginning to end. We hung in early, and then in the second half we increased our pressure and cruised coming down the stretch.

Brian Meehan

On the last (travel), I thought we had a timeout called. We couldn't get a break, especially down the stretch. But in a game like this, you can find a million things like that.

Matt Mckay

To be up, 3-0, and not be able to stretch it out, ... that's probably where we lost it.

John Flaherty

I think our bench really played well and we started to wear them down some. They started to come back, but we made clutch free throws down the stretch. That was the key.

Gordy Gruhl

That was the longest minute of my life. Adrian did a great job of coaching in the last stretch. We were just lucky to have the ball at the end.

Joe Coleman

That has been going well. The first day we did it I asked for a show of hands if that was the farthest they had ever run at one time, most of the freshman raised their hands. We're gradually getting used to it. We are also doing less of the traditional static stretching and focusing more on dynamic stretching, which involves a lot more movement and gets the muscles a lot more warmed up.

Steve Huling

I don't think we had any fans. It was definitely all baby blue everywhere. That was not a neutral site by any stretch of the imagination.

Jeremy Trueblood

We have four girls that are all in the same range point-wise. I'm very happy with that kind of contribution. Then, my bench has been playing really well down the stretch here.

Linda Kilpatrick

I sat in a small room at school and came up with an answer to the problem. The girl turned around and was able to finish the 6th grade. That's an experience I never did forget and made me stretch more than I wanted to.

Dorothy Johnson

We'll learn from this. This will really help us. When we talk about this, and discipline and toughness and being who we are, they'll understand. We'll revert back to this game and they'll remember and this will help them down the stretch.

Bob Semling

That's the type of play that we need going down the stretch. I can't say enough about Kyle and how he bounced back.

Tim Coghlin

It felt pretty good today. Hopefully, it will feel good (today). I definitely want to play on this road trip, but I'm not going to force it, because I don't want to re-injure it. If it flares up again, I'm probably out for another long period of time. It's just best to let it heal. The stretch run is more important.

Nick Van Exel

A good goal is like a strenuous exercise -- it makes you stretch.

Mary Kay Ash

There's no need to drop their heads. We played five tough sets, and down the stretch the guys stayed focused - that showed commitment to conditioning.

Kwele Williams

We made a lot of bad plays down the stretch, but our guys kept playing hard through the turnovers, through everything. We still showed resilience, that we can win tough games.

Terrence Roberts

You probably want to eat it within two to four days. Four days would be stretching it.

Richard Molinar

It seems like every game, out of the windup when I kick my leg up, I get off balance, ... I don't remember too many 1-2-3 innings this year. It seems when I'm out of my windup, I'm not out of my windup very long, and I'm out of my stretch.

Jamey Wright

Uh yeah, you don't execute down the stretch, you pay for it.

Adam Morrison

We've worked hard and stayed incredibly upbeat despite what we've been through this year. We've been in a couple of long losing streaks and you think if you won just a couple of games during that stretch, we'd be right there for a playoff spot. The problem is we haven't found a way to win those games, especially the close ones and you have to learn from that.

Shawn Camp

It was another one of those games where it wasn't pretty. We missed a bunch of key free throws. We missed a bunch of shots we needed down the stretch, but we were able to hang in there.

Bob Marlin

We had a stretch where we had some turnovers. But (the players) kept their heads up and maintained intensity throughout the game.

Jay Murray

It's been a rough stretch. Myself, I can't accept the outcome of this year for this team.

Nate Robertson

They ended up hitting some shots down the stretch unlike the first half. The third quarter, we didn't score for the first three minutes.

Julie Futch

I felt good tonight. The first period was like a shooting gallery at both ends. Down the stretch my forwards and defensemen did a great job blocking shots. They really helped me out.

Cory Schneider

He's a tough little kid, there's a lot to like. These games down the stretch are hard to win.

Don Mattingly

He was huge down the stretch. David Heck, no question, stepped up for us when it counted at the end.

Dick Hunsaker

Users report that not only are they more aware of the need to stretch, but they also are motivated to maintain proper workstation setup.

Arthur Salzman

They have been playing great down the stretch. They are disciplined, they are hungry, and they want to win. I just can't say enough about them. They are a great group of kids. They keep working and working every day, they bust their tails in practice. It's a tribute to them.

Bill Clifford

It's just one of those quirks that comes up in the schedule and you have to deal with it. This should be a good three-game stretch to prepare us for the last part of our schedule.

Vance Belew

Four digits no longer seems like a stretch to me. Rather, it would seem that gold would be correctly priced at $1,000 just to catch up to other commodities like oil, base metals, natural gas, and platinum.

John Hathaway

Down the stretch, in the last six minutes, we had some great looks. We just couldn't hit open shots when we needed to and it was tough to come back.

Carrie Graf

We had a lot more confidence tonight. I don't know why exactly, but we did. We played with them pretty well. But you have to give Edwardsville the credit. They kept their poise like a good team does and they took control down the stretch.

Mike Eddy

That second quarter was a brutal stretch for us, but we fought back.

Brad Rutta

We're playing for first place in the division and we're fighting for a playoff spot. This home stretch is going to be key for us.

Stephane Yelle

I can't commit to staying in the $53 million budget. But we will stretch it as far as we can.

Hunter Spencer

When she is up to bat, she is very fast. She also has a tremendous amount of power, so I always expect her to hit at least a double, but even if she hits a single, I know she will try everything to stretch it into a double and get closer to scoring.

Renikka Toliver

We played even with them until the third quarter. Down the stretch we didn't play smart basketball, we got lazy on defense and were forced to foul.

Frank Leafe

I told the players that the only people who expect us to win is us. We were down by six at half, but down the stretch, we wore out.

Joe Conroy

I come from the New York theatre world, and I have a lot of gay male friends, so this friendship of Will and Grace's isn't such a stretch.

Debra Messing

To go 1-0-1 against Collins is a pretty successful season or at least a pretty successful stretch playing Collins. Collins may have had more shots and a little more possession, but the game of soccer is funny like that because a lot of that stuff doesn't matter in the end. In the end, we're both 0-0. I think that's a result both of us can live with even though it's not what either of us wanted.

Nick Holley

He'd row to shore every 2-3 hours to rest for a short stretch. That's when his legs would nearly give out on him. But once he got the blood flowing again, he was back on the river, rowing as hard as ever.

Scott Runkel

It is not a stretch to call him the 'dean of condemnation law' in Kansas.

Stephen Robison

We gave him a pretty easy night. When I look down and he's stretching halfway through the game because he's only seen 11 shots, you know, we made it pretty easy on him. You could have put basically anybody in net and we never really had anything until the third period.

Turner Stevenson

Everything they hit right in that stretch was pretty hard. We did have chances to make outs, and we're not making them. We're not making the plays that we need to.

Mike Shipley

(SouthWest) hit their free throws down the stretch; we didn't. But I like the way our guys kept fighting. We just made some mistakes late in the game.

Danny Ward

It's a stretch to say we would ever do all these things in one truck, but we have to see which features resonate with consumers so we know which ones to make business cases for.

Frank Klegon

We snuck away with one. It was tight the entire game and we made some plays down the stretch.

Nate Hoffmann

We found ways to battle and battle, but not to pull out wins. We won one big game and thought we were turning the corner, but we lost some close ones down the stretch.

Becky Flynn

What it's going to do is stretch us thin, personnel-wise.

Nancy Brown

If it meant I was just gone from their lives for 10 hours at a stretch, I wasn't interested, ... I wouldn't take a job like that.

John Deluca

When we're healthy, we don't feel like we're 10 points behind anybody. We really feel like we can win our division. We only had a short stretch when everybody was healthy and we really liked the look of our team.

Russ Farwell

We made some great plays and enough free throws down the stretch to maintain the gap.

Marty Bell

He's a true leader for us. Whether it's stretching or the weight room, he's just a true leader for us. And nobody works harder than him.

Al Klunick

I was stretching on the sidelines when Beckham came to take a corner and by chance I started coughing as he struck the corner.

Sergio Sanchez

We needed a couple of defensive stops down the stretch but didn't get them. We then had to start fouling.

Kevin Morrissey

I really like this new fresh vision about denim, because we are from denim. But the weight we used, it looks like jersey. It's really in the stretch and embroidery, and it's absolutely new and fresh.

Francois Girbaud

We've had this stretch before, and we've bounced right back. The difference is, there's a lot more riding right now. We've just got to dig deep, keep plugging along and see what happens.
