We'll always be disappointed if we believe that we can plan for a peak experience and make it happen. True joy can't be anticipated or planned. It just strikes.

Harriet Lerner

I thought he pitched great. He's throwing strikes, and when he lost a couple of times out there, he made adjustments without being told about it. And that was really good to see.

Al Melnick

But you don't strike out until after you get to two strikes. He does best when he's thinking small and not trying to hit a home run.

Jeff Manto

I don't think there will be a lot of public support for these strikes because they are seen as highly-paid industrial workers. If the union had a long strike, they will move perhaps even more production offshore.

Henry Morris

Mike's getting ahead of batters and locating his fastball very well. He's yet to have a game where all three of his pitches are on, but he's always had at least two working. He's been able to change speeds and throw strikes ahead and behind in the count.

Sean Economou

It's a great way to keep the community informed and is a valuable resource to inform the public of breaking news and severe weather. If a disaster strikes, it's best to be prepared.

Jim Spencer

We need to be fundamentally sound. We need to throw strikes and play catch defensively to be successful.

Allen Rossi

If a baseball player strikes out two times, but hits the ball on the third try every time he goes up to bat, he's still a great baseball player. But hitting the mark 33 percent of the time isn't good enough for band. In band you have hit the mark every time you step up.

John Mashburn

Shaquille O'Neal, when asked about his terrible free-throw shooting, says he makes them when they count. This strikes me as a bad answer in basketball and in law, because they all count.

Michael Dorf

It strikes me the governor is making himself a pretty easy target here. What is the public supposed to make of a lobbyist being your campaign spokesman?

Jay Stewart

Guys have to look for more pitches and I'm throwing a lot more strikes than I ever have. I just want to throw a lot of innings and show them I can get guys out and see what they want to do with me.

Tim Lavigne

When you sit down and focus on the matches and series that took place during the 12 month period it strikes you just how broad the talent pool is in international cricket is today.

Sunil Gavaskar

Strikes are the only way to protect worker's rights.

Gabria Carlini

If necessary, even before a pandemic, we'll start making fresh vaccine strains. We will be following it along, and hopefully be keeping up with it. If, when a pandemic strikes and it is H5, we'll pounce on that virus immediately.

Dr Jim Robertson

You really have nothing to lose in that situation. I choked up a little bit, especially with two strikes. I wasn't looking for an offspeed pitch, but I knew he had it. He ended up throwing me another fastball that I stayed on and hit it where I was supposed to hit it instead of trying to pull it.

Rich Aurilia

We have seen 60 or more animals in Moss Landing Harbor near the boat launch. If fishermen are speeding out of the north harbor in the dark at 5 a.m., the likelihood of boat strikes is fairly high.

Karl Mayer

The strikes will have an impact on the next steps. The street has a more important dimension in France than in other countries because we don't have the political infrastructure for dialogue.

Dominique ReyniƩ

If there is no change in management's attitude then we will continue (with the strikes).

Steve Harris

He's a great pitcher, but that doesn't mean we have to lose a series to a team I think we're better than. We're going to make all their other pitchers throw strikes and make their bullpen beat us.

Preston Paramore

It felt good. I was just trying to throw strikes.

Joe Mays

Sometimes I have a great day of filming and sometimes the theater strikes me better. It just depends.

Philip Seymour Hoffman

He threw aggressive the whole game. He got ahead with the strikes, and our infield played solid behind him.

Dave Holt

This guy has been swinging at strikes and taking balls. That's been the most impressive thing he's done at the plate. The obvious thing was the home run, but he moves really well in the outfield.

Joe Maddon

It strikes me if you can have a reverse onus for selling drugs surely you can have a reverse onus for a dangerous weapon offence.

Alan Young

Kyle's done a good job all year long. He's throwing strikes and working ahead in the count. All our pitching has done well this year. One-hitters will win a lot of games.

Clay Mccammon

Without a doubt, it puts a lot more pressure on the defense. They have to make plays all the time. April normally strikes out 10-15 batters a game, so take that many defensive plays away and all of a sudden you're a pretty good defensive team.

Peter Zoppi

We are sitting with an explosive situation, which is why there have been threats of strikes.

Chris De Vos

If there's one thing that strikes you when you look at both the state (organization) chart for governance and ours, it's how convoluted it is. This needs to be streamlined ... but we've got to have the confidence and the support of the campuses when we do that.

Robert Potts

It gives your team a big boost. It not only helps the pitcher throw strikes, it takes pressure off the other guys to not try to do too much. We're rolling now and we have to keep it going.

Jermaine Dye

Gilliam doesn't hump it up there very hard, but he throws strikes and he competes. One of the things we do well is play defense, and he threw strikes in the second game and the kids made plays behind him.

Ray Neill

He's a crafty left-hander who's now 3-0 because he throws strikes and always put confidence in the defense behind him.

Tom Hilbert

I always follow that three-strikes rule.

Scott Magie

Oil imports and the dark cloud they cast over this country requires dramatic and immediate attention. When that prolonged oil crisis occurs, Americans will pay anything because they will have no choice. Why wait until a catastrophe strikes to get truly serious about addressing the problem?

Frank Gaffney

That was huge. We got a little lucky in that inning, but credit to our kids, we were patient and (the pitcher) wasn't throwing strikes so we waited until we got something to hit.

Dana Wagner

I think they've done an outstanding job throwing strikes.

Terry Pirtle

I was pretty happy with all my pitches. They were all going for strikes, which is what I am looking for.

Pat Bresnehan

I don't even think it was Harvard, I just didn't throw enough strikes. I had trouble getting my slider over so I relied on my fastball more and they were sitting on it. They have a lot of disciplined batters. Even with two strikes, they didn't chase too often and they made me work more.

Trevor Smith

I was having trouble gripping the ball. The resin was wet. My hands were wet, ... I just told myself to throw strikes.

Mike Gonzalez

Really I wasn't looking for a particular pitch. Just up in the zone where I could get a fly ball. Once I got two strikes, I was just trying to hit something hard up the middle, which I did.

Billy Hall

On 3-1, you have to throw strikes. So I took advantage of that.

Pedro Feliz

I was hurting on pitching with two pitchers missing so I threw Grant out there and he did great -- he threw strikes and didn't give up any runs.

Craig Lambert

We'll just try to be fundamentally sound. Get the pitchers to throw strikes and put the ball in play. Then we'll see if we can make the plays. That'll be our key, to just play catch. Not give up too many outs.

Rick Magnante

That's when we play good. We don't make errors, we put the ball in play, and we throw strikes. That's our recipe for winning.

Kirk Saarloos

The craziest Peep-related candy I've ever gotten is a chocolate egg with a Peep inside it. Someone went to a lot of trouble to make that, which strikes me as both beautiful and pathetic.

Steve Almond

At this level, if you can throw strikes consistently you're going to get people out. And we're playing such good defense right now that our pitchers don't think they have to get people out themselves, and that's why were getting such good pitching.

Gary Miner

It is the eve of St. George's Day. Do you not know that tonight, when the clock strikes midnight, all the evil things in the world will have full sway?

Bram Stoker

This is the best I've felt in about three to four years. I'm pitching with no pain. I'm able to concentrate, and I've had more success throwing strikes.

Alex Rouch

I've very rarely seen the ball hit that hard. Cass knows to adjust with two strikes.

Dave Petrocelli

God knows how it will all end. It's an exceptional crisis for Germany's opera houses. There have never been such long strikes here before. If the strikes continue until July, we will have major losses. The damage will be permanent.

Klaus Zehelein

The guys are continuing to swing the bats really well. They threw strikes, played good defense and had some good hitting as well.

Mat O'brien

We had him on the ropes. We got five on him real quick and then our guys eased up and didn't keep the pressure on him. We started to take too many strikes and that allowed him to get in a rhythm, and then he became very tough.

Lance Traywick

I had two strikes on me, so I was really just trying to put the ball in play somehow. I got the bat on it and was able to put it through the six hole. Luckily I got a pitch that I could handle.

Marquez Smith

The most important thing is that strikes don't last forever. The economy is normally quite resilient and comes bouncing back.

Alan Blinder

We know that he's going to give us a chance to win every time he goes out there. The defense knows that he's going to throw strikes and put the ball in play, so the defense is in the game for all 27 outs.

Sean Doolittle

What kind of healthcare service union would stand in the way of a cancer center in New England? That strikes me as the kind of union we don't want.

Paul Levy

The world must understand that the responsibility for these military strikes lies not with the United States or its allies, but at the doorstep of Slobodan Milosevic.... Our diplomats, together with those of our British, French and German allies, have gone the extra mile to give Serbia the opportunity for peace. President Milosevic has chosen military confrontation instead.

John Chafee

I love this horse, and I really love him in the Travers. He's fit and sound and eager. He's like a fighter right now; he's acting like Ali. He strikes with the front and kicks with the back and does the rope-a-dope and everything. He's really matured.

Angel Cordero Jr.

That's what you're going to get. He throws strikes and goes after guys. He did a good job changing speed and keeping them off-balance, and we go some great defensive plays behind him, too.

Mat O'brien

He dominated us. He was throwing strikes all day long and kept us off balance.

Mark Gulseth

I believe the Patriot Act strikes the right balance needed to protect our freedom and security.

Bill Owens

He pitched great and threw strikes, ... He got ahead of hitters and did what he wanted to do tonight.

Robb Quinlan

Although Kelsey has been our best hitter this year, Mary's right behind her and lately she's been outstanding. She had a nice hit earlier in the game, so it was difficult to decide to give her up. I let her swing early in the count and then when she got two strikes on her, there wasn't a whole lot of choice.

Greg Dierks

We were able to get our hits, especially when it counted. We set the table all night and were able to get runs across. But the big thing was the pitching. We were able to throw strikes.

Vince Ferlita

When you get a lead like that early, you attack the zone, throw strikes, and force them to put the ball in play. I felt like I did a good job of that for the most part.

Cliff Lee

We've run up around the front at most of the intermediate tracks -- it just seems like something always strikes at some point to derail us from maintaining those strong runs, but our intermediate cars are better and stronger.

Scott Wimmer

We're one of the highest revenue teams in the league [about $128 million in 2001], yet we're losing money. Yeah, it strikes a chord. It's why baseball is trying to get its house in order.

Bill Stetka

We were trying to save him for the last game. He's probably our best. He's got a slow curve, and he's got a quick curve. That's his best pitch. If he's on, he's tough. But we're trying to find somebody to throw strikes right now.

Darrell Wiley

Failure to act now... will leave us empty handed when a pandemic strikes and will cause needless deaths.

Albert Osterhaus

It was shot in the position round and we won both halves and we won the championship. In fact, I needed the last four strikes for the win and for the 800 and that made the series special.

Mark Heller

He hits his spots, throws strikes and keeps the ball low. It's what a pitcher needs to do.

Stephen Hobbins

As a team we have to work together and play well. One day we don't throw strikes and another day give them the best opportunities. We just have to work together.

Cyle Hankerd

There's still technical buying and there's no selling. You've got strikes and new labor disputes coming into view.

Andrew Silver

We just have to figure out who goes where in our bullpen. We got guys who just couldn't find the plate and we need them to go out there and throw strikes.

Eric Mcarthur

I was just happy with how aggressive we were at the plate in the second game. It seems like we had two strikes on every batter in that first game and just were hitting in a hole every time.

Eric Mcarthur

As a sophomore, for him to pitch well in this league is a credit to himself. He's worked hard to physically be able to (do well) and more so with his ability to throw strikes in tough situations.

Eric Kadooka

I just settled down, didn't try to overthrow the ball and threw strikes.

Erik Bedard

I just had command of three pitches. My secondary pitches, like the curveball and change-up, I threw for strikes.

Erik Bedard

I couldn't throw strikes early and when I did they were sitting on it.

Erik Bedard

I was just glad to be able to go out there and help the team. I was able to get ahead of hitters, being able to throw my curve ball for strikes on first pitches.

Edgar Ramirez

When you go out there and throw strikes, no matter who you are, you're hard to beat. That's what he did. He had three good pitches working. He kept them in the zone, and that's what you have to do.

Ed Easley

I felt good, able to throw strikes with my defense behind me.

Eddie Carter

The strikes hurt the daily lives of the citizens badly, and damage public order, ... We would hope that all is being done to solve the problems.

Ezer Weizman

She's always around the plate and she does a good job of throwing strikes. When they're not swinging, she's getting strikes.

Evans Bouchard

I think it's an ominous sign. Whenever there's an attack of this scale going on in London -- it's not just a British thing, it's a U.S. thing too, because most of the time when al Qaeda strikes, it tends to strike in multiple, simultaneous attacks.

Evan Kohlmann

That seven-run inning was the key. We got a good lead, and I was able to relax and throw strikes and go right at them.

Eric Milton

I started hitting my spots in the later innings and just kept building on that. In the fifth, sixth and seventh innings, I just kept throwing strikes.
