Gary Mickelson
Sometimes I'll take a pitch right there, but with him, if he gets a strike, he's coming back with that [nasty] slider of his, ... So I was sitting dead-red, and when I got the fastball, I capitalized on it. That was definitely the biggest home run I've ever hit. It was a very emotional home run.
Bobby Kielty
This resolution establishes the process of seeking workers' authorization for a strike -- the ultimate decision will come from the workers. The company's demands are unreasonable, and we plan to fight them in court, ensuring that this strike doesn't come about.
Victoria Gray
Obviously, we're disappointed, but we're hopeful that a settlement will be reached and a strike will not occur.
Mark Weiss
The rise of unemployment claims in June, largely due to a fallout of the since-settled General Motors strike, drove most of the decline in the leading index.
Michael Boldin
He didn't look as dominant as I've seen him in the past. He didn't use a lot of breaking balls or off-speed stuff, he just used his fastball. But we didn't strike it.
Phil Garner
The copper market is very tight. All you need is a strike or an accident at a mine for the prices of the metal to shoot up.

The strike zone suddenly shrunk. We battled through it and came back to trail 6-4 but could get no closer.
Scot Meeker
It's one strike and you're out. The slip will serve as the first warning.
Nick Miller
Strike out on his own.
Peter Doyle
(Mora) didn't throw the breaking ball early (for a strike). Once he settled down and started throwing the curve on the first pitch, they couldn't get up there and hack at the first-pitch fastball. That changed the game.
Fred Ledesma
Solo home runs can't hurt you if you're pitching that way. His command was better in the strike zone, and when he does that, he has success.
Joel Skinner
We have so much time and so little to do. Strike that, reverse it. - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Roald Dahl
She's really grown into a very reliable defensive player, first and foremost, but she will come up with as many two-strike hits as anybody else we have on the team.
Keith Kramme
We felt this was more of a provocation than anything else, and that it brings us closer to a strike instead of taking us back. Some people felt this was a tit-for-tat from our strike vote, but the strike vote was an expression of the frustration we felt for two years. It was a last resort, not an opening salvo.
Matthew Hardy
We are working hard to adjust our contingency plans to help the business run as smoothly as possible during the strike action.
John Dludlu
Every time they hear the screen door slam, they jump and start searching for the other cats because they think this guy is going to strike again.
Jesse Fagone
I was right behind it and it was a terrific strike, but it was still a disappointing goal to give away.
Mark Mcghee
Look for what may strike their fancy.
Terrance Gainer
The war could really be on now. This is something greater and more symbolic than attacks on people. This is a strike at who we are.
Abu Hassan
Any fool can cause a strike. But no fool can resolve one.
George Anthony
We can't strike. But we can make them litigate the contract. They can't implement anything without either agreement or an arbitrator's decision.
Chris Vick
Adult content has never hurt the growth of any industry from a revenue or profit standpoint. But right now the U.S. carriers don't know what to do with it. They don't know what balance to strike between protection and opportunity.
Adam Zawel
We were dispatched to the area of Lake Charles and Abbeville-Lafayette as a casket-recovery strike team.
Lynn Yeates
We believe that the terrorists will strike again. If they do, and these reforms that might have prevented such an attack have not been implemented, what will our excuses be?
Thomas H. Kean
I would expect an attack in the next six months. This is not just planning for possible military contingencies. There is real planning under way for carrying out a military strike against Iran.
Larry Johnson
I think it was close enough to call [a strike]. He didn't, though. So it was a ball.
Francisco Rodriguez
'Animals have these advantages over man: they never hear the clock strike, they die without any idea of death, they have no theologians to instruct them, their last moments are not disturbed by unwelcome and unpleasant ceremonies, their funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts lawsuits over their wills.
Voltaire
This not only undermines the strike but it is also not adding any value towards resolution of this dispute.
Jackson Simon
While we can never fully eliminate the possibility that terrorists will strike against us, we are doing our utmost to ensure the security of our forces so they can carry out their important missions at minimum risk.
Henry Shelton
We are on the path to a record year. We were set to celebrate, but it hangs in the balance with this transit strike.
Christyne Nicholas

Travis Larson
Everyone at the club feels for Kevin as once is bad enough but for lightning to strike twice is unbelievably bad luck.
Gez Baggott

Patrick Craven
Lightning really does strike twice for some people, especially if you were found to owe large adjustments in the past.
Frederick Daily
In all the affairs of life, social as well as political, courtesies of a small and trivial character are the ones which strike deepest to the grateful and appreciating heart.

Karen Neuburger

James Johnson
The fact that you get this announcement of a strike at what is basically the world's largest silver producer is more likely than not to have supportive impact.
Bernard Hunter
We're probably going to start hearing anecdotally from our members as the day goes on about how the strike is hurting them. Obviously this isn't good for retailers or for consumers.
Rebecca Marion
I may be on strike that week instead.
Rick Zachary
The intention isn't to replace workers, but right now they're not working and the machines are and they will stay when the strike is over.

Doug Mientkiewicz

Greg Geddes
We rolled the ball. We were patient in the strike zone.
Todd Moyer
States are grappling with how to handle this. Many are going from one extreme to the other, and I think what we've done is strike a balance. I can honestly say that what we've done could be model legislation.
Sen. Susan Garrett
I think there's a kind of 'buyers' strike,' for lack of a better term, ... Until we start seeing some better earnings news, I think the market's going to be in this bottoming phase.
Frank Gannon
In the transit strike and even before that, he's come across as a feisty fighter, a real mayor of the people.
Doug Muzzio
If the plan is as drastic as we think, we will strike immediately.
Gerry Morrissey
While we do not believe that the probability of a strike is as high as 50 percent, we do believe that it could be significant.
Lloyd O'carroll
On the positive side, we learned how important mobility and precision strike and global situation awareness and integrated command and control were. On the negative side, I think we also understand that fratricide or friendly fire continues to be an issue.
Jim Albaugh
Although we are committed to reaching an agreement before the deadline, strike action is a real possibility.
Gilles Hallé
Strike action is the only option left to local government workers. They want to demonstrate the burning resentment and anger they feel over the government and employers taking away their pension rights when those same rights have been given to every other public-sector pension scheme.
Dave Prentis
We're going to individualize every single program for every guy in the system. That'll be the big positive. And of course, the take-a-strike, we've modified that, that's no longer going to exist. Pitch counts will exist, but it's not one blanket program. If it needs to exist for a certain individual, it will. If it doesn't for another, it won't.
Johnny Almaraz
This is a nationwide strike in Mexico, and it's huge news.
Michael Purdy
To run or fly at optimal speed is to strike a balance between the vertical and horizontal loss of energy.

Dawn Deeks
He grabbed her and was trying to strike her with the brick, demanding money.
Stephen Carroll
The buried talent is the sunken rock on which most lives strike and founder.
Frederick W. Faber
I thought he handled a couple of challenges very well. I thought his first 10 pitches were up a bit, and then I thought he got pretty good command of the strike zone down.
Clint Hurdle
This is a scam. It doesn't affect a lot of businesses – 200 last year out of millions across Canada – but when it does strike it can run up bills of several thousand dollars in just a couple of days. We're just encouraging customers to take a few simple steps to protect themselves.
Shawn Hall
I'd say this action is more about publicity than about interrupting the functioning of the governments. This is not going to be a strike in which suddenly nothing at all works.
Bernd Keller
A long strike would absolutely have created bigger challenges for hospitals to provide adequate patient care.
Brian Conroy
Governor Thompson, he made it a point to strike this anti-gay language from the draft platform, and he obviously did that with the full knowledge of the Bush campaign.
Carl Schmid
I told them that the only road to contract victory for the membership was not by strike but in continued negotiation. I stand ready to assist the local leadership in returning to the bargaining table.
Mike O'brien
One thing that keeps people away is they think people might make fun of them or that lightning will strike.
Rev. Bert Cramer
Kim is good at brinkmanship. From Kim's perspective, this missile is an important tool for gaining leverage, and he can use it to strike a deal with the United States.
Hajime Izumi
My advice is wait for the [industry] reports and strike up a dialogue with your utility at the local level.
Jon Arnold
We did that based on how much they need to accomplish in less than two months with their other labor groups. This strike stretches out the likely time frame with the others unions at least a bit.
Philip Baggaley
The government should sit down with teachers and work out a deal. I don't want to see a general strike. I don't want to see people not returning to work. It's the premier who has to show some leadership and step up to the plate. He missed an opportunity again today.
Carole James
Well, he just said 'where's the crew chief?' ... So I was there. He just said, 'Hey, he called him out.' I said, 'Mike, he didn't call him out.' I said, 'He called it a strike.' .
Jerry Crawford
Not only do they strike quickly, a lot of the plays they run look just like ours. I could really tell that they are a great team.
Jason White
The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on.
Ulysses S. Grant
A lengthy strike by the pilots ? probably anything over 30 days ? would be a disaster. I don't think the pilots would strike with the intention of putting Northwest out of business. Miscalculation. That's the problem.
John Remington
The Court finds that the only possible sanction ... is to strike the Defendant's pleadings and enter a default (judgment) for the plaintiffs.
Robert Bailey
After two years of internal debate, we have concluded it is the best course for the labor movement for us to join hands with six sister organizations and strike off in a direction of focusing more on organizing.
Bruce Raynor
They might strike a chord with one of these things. That's what these kids need, something that gives them self-satisfaction . . . UMFS nurtures children to build their confidence and allay any suspicions of people living in the outside world because their home life was so disruptive, they don't trust anybody.
Bill Stevens
In any event, we continue to believe that a voluntary near-term bankruptcy for GM/GMAC is of very low probability. We continue to believe that the biggest risk arguably would be a UAW strike at Delphi...our sense currently is that a significant labor disruption at Delphi remains a remote likelihood.
Peter Nesvold
We of course hope to settle the conflict before then. Management will do what it can to avoid a strike that would affect our Easter traffic.
Siv Meisingseth
We don't believe a strike is in the best interests of our customers, employees and the hundreds of communities we serve each day. We believe a strike by our unions would be illegal under bankruptcy law and the Railway Labor Act.
Bill Mellon
It is clear that the government has ended the hunger strike through the use of force and through the most brutal and inhumane types of treatment. It is a disgrace.
Thomas Wilner
The affections are like lightning: you cannot tell where they will strike till they have fallen.
Lee Iacocca
[Europe's top referees' official hinted on Monday that referees could strike after the retirement of Anders Frisk because of death threats to him and his family.] We cannot just do nothing, ... There will be a demonstration of solidarity among the referees as you have never seen before.
Volker Roth
We just didn't have the firepower last year. I want to be able to strike quickly, but I also want to be able to control the ball.
Cecil Ratliff
Ontario college students are frustrated and furious this evening that their post-secondary education is being disrupted by a province-wide faculty strike.
Matt Jackson
While we couldn't permit this one-sided hunger strike to continue, it might not be a bad thing to get a sense of the greater point of view [regarding our actions].
Masahiro Aoki
Airlines carrying struck UPS goods are only making matters worse for everyone. By helping UPS limp along, they are prolonging the strike.
James Sutton
Now he can throw it to a lefthander and it looks like `strike, strike, strike,' then at the last second it moves out of the strike zone, ... Or he can throw it inside, and at the last second it catches the plate.
Gil Patterson
We're pleased we won't have to strike on Wednesday.
Peter Callero
If the union leadership decides to call a strike, there will be no 30-day cooling off period.
Will Holman
I don't want to hear from them, but I know I will. They are not going to let me get away with it. I take full responsibility for what happened. I'm a man, and if anybody has a problem, they can come talk to me. I did it. I did it on my own. A lot of players have done it in the past. I did not think the pitch was a strike. Should I have behaved in a different way? Yes.
Jose Guillen
It's not a full-blown strike.
Mark Ohlau
He usually throws strikes, so when he threw only one strike in his four pitches something was off. That was uncharacteristic, but he settled in and got ahead of the hitters.
Mike Getkin
The last pitch I threw to Michael Young, that was about all I had left. I wanted them to call that a strike so bad.
Josh Beckett
All sanity depends on this: that it should be a delight to feel heat strike the skin, a delight to stand upright, knowing the bones are moving easily under the flesh.
Doris Lessing
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. He scattered some hits (actually 11), but you can do that when you strike people out. It was the old John Wooden thing. We tell you what we're going to do, and in this case, you hit it if you can.
Kevin Coker
From the time this game started, the guys in the middle of your lineup have hit the home runs and driven the runs in. Now, those guys tend to strike out, too.
Milt Thompson
The creek has always been the primary source of flooding over the years. That's why we're trying to make sure that there is nothing is blocking the flow now ? it's a preemptive strike.
Jack Franzil
We are disappointed that members of AMFA have declined ratification of the company's latest contract proposal. A ratified agreement would have ended the mechanics' strike and allowed both parties to move forward.
Northwest Airlines
Not many people can do that at this level. He just pounds the strike zone.
Lawrence Scully
This is a very serious issue which concerns not only the seamen but the farmers whose produce … is being destroyed because of the delays created by the strike.
Theodoros Roussopoulos
Coach said as long as I wasn't throwing crazy he'd leave me in. I know I was off early on, but I got better and felt stronger. It was my first start of the season, it was cold and I could never figure out the umpire's strike zone.
Matt Kobli
It looks like the larger majority of Hispanic businesses in Lynn will be closed. There is definitely a lot of division nationally on whether or not a strike is a good idea, but people on the North Shore seem very united about the strike.
Liz Jackson
It was unanimous to authorize a strike if needed.
Lauren Asplen
He's a guy that just gets better and better every outing. Today was just more of the same from him. He threw his fastball for a strike, and he was able to throw his breaking ball and split finger for a strike as well.
Hector Rodriguez
We expect the challenges we faced in the second quarter to continue, exacerbated by slowing volumes from the growing effects of the General Motors strike and the Asian financial crisis.
Charles O. Holliday
You get tired sooner, quicker because of your age. Your recovery time is a little different when you get older. But you still see Mike's bat fly through the strike zone.
Joe Ferguson
For example, breast cancer will strike one in eight American women in their lifetime. Early detection using mammography reduces mortality rates by approximately 20 percent. But use of vitamin D might prevent this cancer in the first place.
Cedric F. Garland
There's always college and pro scouts in the building. Last year there were a lot more NHL guys here because they were on strike. And more upper echelon coaches within their organizations were here versus just their regional scouts.
Gary Weckwerth
There is a genuine threat, there is no doubt the networks are still present and they retain the capacity to strike again. On the other hand, much more is known about these groups, there has been an intelligence surge in the last few years, they are kept under pressure.
Matt Bryden
We are not bound by CUPE Ontario's decision to strike. Local 503 is not going on strike.
Jim Robillard
My job isn't to strike guys out, its to get them out, sometimes by striking them out.
Tom Seaver
Not prolonging a strike so that employers don't have a justification for hiring permanent replacements.
Brendan Cummins
The strike is an unfair labor practice strike.
Robert Weaver
There is a buyers' strike. People are afraid to touch the old media. No matter how cheap they have gotten, people are fleeing. The environment is scaring them, and they can't figure it out.
Dennis Leibowitz
We're going for a pre-emptive strike here.
Bob Webster
It's not always so great to be objectified but I don't feel I have much of a choice right now. I'm young in my career. I know I have to strike when the iron is hot. I look forward to the day when I can do a small movie and act and it's not about me wearing a bathing suit or chaps.
Jessica Alba
The strike is an increasingly weak tool. Labor laws are not going to help you at all.
Brendan Cummins
As caregivers we love our jobs and the service we provide for the community. But how can our employer expect us to provide patient care when we are not paid on time? We don't want to strike but we have to if we can't pay our bills. Many of us might have to quit and find other jobs.
Lisette Perez
It took two days for the employer to agree to our proposal, but the strike is over.
Ted Montgomery
I take four to five months off because there's a chance that every Sunday, Jason could go to the hospital before he comes home. I don't need to be off in Botswana somewhere where I don't even have a phone and I can't find out how many broken ribs he has. That doesn't strike me as healthy.
Angie Harmon
Gerlach battled today, but he was up in the strike zone too much. He needs to learn to keep the ball down, especially with a lead.
Todd Iwema
We must not only strike the iron while it is hot, we must strike it until it is hot.
Tom Sharpe
He absolutely is not guilty and did not strike that woman.
Orlando Gonzalez
There are no initial indications that these were innocent locals, and I base that on the facts that this team, in addition to just looking at the site where the strike occurred, also did some exploration in the surrounding area to include some caves, a nearby village, and talk[ed] to locals.
John Stufflebeem
I'm very happy. My putting worked well. That good start really gave me the push. If you shoot 65 anytime, it's always good and it'll give me confidence. You need to strike the ball well here. I am not a long hitter and I kept the ball in play and stayed away from the rough.
Mardan Mamat
We wanted to throw him an off-speed pitch, but Cory (Rasmus) couldn't throw it for a strike. So we had to challenge him, and he crushed it. It was like someone hit a golf ball with a driver.
Tony Rasmus
It remains to be seen whether the end of the strike will do enough to help a recoil in sales. There have been some sales lost -- there's no question about it.
Robbert Van Batenburg
I was just trying to attack him, especially after the error. I got strike one on him but he just stuck the bat out there and got it up in the air on what I thought was a good pitch.
Andy Graham
We will not let the government implement privatization. The moment a decision is announced we will go on strike. No one will come to work from tomorrow.
Nitin Jadhav
I was able to strike those hitters out like that after my team scored five runs in the top of the seventh and I just thought about shutting them out and that strong will really worked.
Koji Uehara
Our on-time performance was at its lowest point in the weeks leading up to the strike.
Kurt Ebenhoch
Unless it's a down-and-dirty little film ... you have to strike that balance between having it rooted and having the people not fall out of it.
Willem Dafoe
We are scared (that it will strike) us in the middle of the night.
Maggie Fernández
We didn't strike to give up more and get less, but that's what happened.
Richard Watson
Their statement was: if you reduce my wages by 60 percent, take my health care, take our pensions ... we'll strike your plant.
Keith Bailey
We've been working a lot with hitting with runners in scoring position and two-strike hitting and things. When you get two strikes, you shorten (your swing) up and try to hit it square.
Marcus Maringola
I will be encouraging them to vote yes. It is important we have a strong strike vote.
Brian Johnson
The New Hampshire legislature intentionally omitted a medical emergency exception when it passed this law. We continue to believe that the lower court will recognize this and strike down the law in its entirety.
Jennifer Dalven
The reason for that is if there is a strike, you want to be 1st in line to take whatever Northwest offers as a possible option.
Kevin Hamilton
We are very confident we have the legal right to strike.
Will Holman
We shall continue the strike until they get back to the negotiation table. We are only willing to suspend the strike if they are willing to come to the table.
Jackson Simon
I didn't expect him to go. I heard he's going home, he's going home so I just threw a strike in there and got him. I threw it with all I had.
Kevin Howard
Arkansas is a very good team and very aggressive. We knew we had to be aggressive right back. We had to take advantage of every opportunity to strike at them.
Pedro Alvarez
This is no doubt a bullish factor. Copper, lead and zinc are the three metals that are suffering supply disruption from strike action.
William Adams
Many portions of the park weren't ready. Attractions broke down. The asphalt was still drying on Main Street. Women's high heels were sinking into the asphalt. Also, there was a plumbers' strike, and Walt had the choice of having either working restrooms or working drinking fountains. He chose the restrooms, of course.
Tim O'day
The third one was high in the strike zone. I have my strategy against left-handers.
Hideki Matsui
This hunger strike has absolutely no sanction of the party. In fact, it is something against the party's advice. Something of this magnitude has to be carried out with permission of the party's national president.
Harsh Vardhan
There is this overwhelming gloom about a possible strike against Iran. The confrontational mode is the only show in town.
Prince Hassan
The governor and the Legislature have given us a unique opportunity to strike a new chord in water discussions.
Russ George
We showed we could strike through the air. We showed we could come back.
Dave Vestal
In modern warfare, however, even a strong defense requires strike warfare and offensive options.
Larry Wortzel
There's a possibility of a joint San Francisco-Oakland strike. We hope it doesn't happen, but that is a possibility. Both unions would be stronger if we go on strike together.
Ben Visnick
When someone goes yard on you, you want to strike them out the next time. It shows her toughness and that she wasn't about to let it happen again.
Joni Vaughan
It makes a difference when you don't strike out.
Lori Alexander
It would be presumptuous for us to say that there would be a strike and it would be just as presumptuous for someone to say there would not be.
Ron Gettelfinger
If you look at my pitch selection, I just tried to get them to put the ball in play rather than strike them out.
Brett Myers
When you strike at a king, you must kill him.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
These changes were made to strike a better balance between the need to have an efficient municipal court judicial system and the need to protect the public's safety. The revisions also make the plea bargain option more available to all of our citizens.
Galen Beaufort
We do not believe that ALPA has the legal right to strike if the bankruptcy court judge allows the airline to abrogate its current contract.
Northwest Airlines
One pitch was low, and it would have been a 3-1 count. Instead, it was a strike. This guy is throwing 98 mph and changing speeds on him. And he battled and smoked that ball off the right-field wall.
Joe Cunningham
I gave up after a while and just told her she had an accident. The term ?lightning strike' wasn't penetrating her brain.
Marty Matzelle
Clearly the MTA was not willing to concede that prior to the strike.
Joshua Freeman
We received a call of a lightning strike, fire units responded to the scene. When we arrived on the scene, there was heavy fire in the attic. There were two occupants who were home at the time. They were able to escape unharmed.
Thomas Rutledge
Kellogg characters strike such an affinity with consumers. We wanted…to include the generations of consumers who have grown up with Kellogg's products.
Jill Saletta
Our game plan was to keep the ball up high in the strike zone. We did that the first time when we beat them but changed a bit in the second game (in which Osceola lost). We talked about going back to what works.
