Patty Moore

We'll take the win, but we still don't think we played very well. We had 12 hits, but we made 4 errors. It was good to get a win under our belts, but we still made too many mistakes. We only struck out once, though, so that was a good sign.

Jeff Petrovic

Mike Adametz

Our coach, Jack Wallace, would nod and clap, and that meant you had the green light to steal. The first time he did it I wasn't sure if I had seen right, because there was only one out.

Chip Howard

Duane Ackerman

He's probably the only pitcher that I know who really didn't need to warm up. You know most guys start out warming up slow and gradually increase their speed.

Bob Perry

He's fantastic. He moved the ball around very well and was very intelligent. The guys he struck out two, three times (Friday), are not guys that strikeout two and three times against anybody. - I was very, very impressed by (Brown).

George Hansen

Robbie Robertson

(In the win against) Mississippi State, when he struck out the last batter to end the game, he wasn't like Will Kline. (White) expects a lot. When he does well, it's no shock to him or anybody on the team.

Craig Rodriguez

A scout told me that he could have pitched in the big leagues that night, and he was only 17. But I remember that last at-bat, and he threw a 98-mph fastball and stepped off and shook his arm a little. He struck the guy out, but when he got back to the dugout he said he felt something.

Dino Ebel

I'm struck by the numbers -- by what they have been able to achieve. There's a real commitment to retain and build the staff.

M'lou Arnett

It's hard to envision but it struck me that, you know, this is a bus he could have been on at about that time and could it be? It's funny because the last thing I said to him this morning was 'It's going to be a trying day' and it turned out to be a lot more trying than we ever anticipated.

Neil Armstrong

In general throughout the season, Riley was our leader on and off the course. The 79s are not something he'd like. He had less than adequate two days of putting, but otherwise he struck the ball very well.

Craig Lambert

We think of these leaders as being cultural icons. If the president is healthy and doing fine, it seems like the country is healthy and doing fine. But if he's ill or struck down, we feel like there is something wrong with us, and we want to know why it happened.

The allegations are that he struck somebody outside a bar, and then absconded with his wallet.

Mark Loretta

It's for people that get struck with a tragic situation and need help getting over the hump.

Paul Gross

The fact that nearly half a million cattle under 30 months were exported to the US in the second half of 2005 suggests that the Canadian-American trade in cattle and beef will likely return to its high levels before the BSE crisis struck.

Alexander Moens

We did a lot of things to put ourselves in position to win, but we just can't seem to make the big plays right now. The biggest problem we had was an inability to score runs. We only struck out four times in 21 plate appearances, which tells me we are putting the bat on the ball, but we are hitting it right at people.

Chris Willingham

When he first came in, it was like being star-struck because you'd always seen him on TV as a kid.

Andy Boyd

A good balance could be struck between good business practices and potential [government] backstops for bad actors.

Tara Lemmey

This ship was a league from us, and some of the men would have taken her, and I would not consent to it, and this Moore said I always hindered them making their fortunes. Was that not the reason I struck him? Was there a mutiny on board?

William Kidd

The kidnapping and rape has struck fear in the minds of many neighbors where the incident allegedly occurred.

Jessica D'onofrio

We came up in the first inning and our first three hitters all struck out. Then they put up a three spot up and we just came together. We hit around and I think the difference was our dugout. Everyone was in the game from our starters to our pinch hitters.

Joe Buckley

There may be vehicles out there that have been struck and we don't know about it, because there was definitely a lot of time that he wasn't accounted before. And when officers did see him, it appeared that he was intentionally running into these vehicles.

Geraldine Brooks

It struck some object under the bridge. The mast broke off at the base.

Paul Chamberlain

When they arrived he fired several shots at them, and he did strike one of those officers in the leg. They did return fire, but at this point it's unknown whether he was struck or not.

Thomas Mitchell

Demoniac frenzy, moping melancholy, / And moon-struck madness.

John Milton

He is only a sophomore but he did a nice job keeping us off stride all day. We have always prided ourselves with being able to put the bat on the ball but we didn't do it today.

David Camic

A large whale was taken betwixt my land abutting on the Thames and Greenwich, which drew an infinite concourse to see it, by water, horse, coach, and on foot, from London, and all parts. ... It would have destroyed all the boats, but ... after a long conflict, it was killed with a harping iron, struck in the head, out of which spouted blood and water.

John Evelyn

When 9/11 struck, I had a change of heart. I knew the story had to be told because what happened at 9/11 is a direct result of what the economic hit men are doing, and the only way that we're going to feel secure about ourselves again and that we're going to feel good about ourselves is if we use these systems we've put into place to create positive change around the world.

John Perkins

Through great collaboration between our Playhouse Disney team, The Baby Einstein Company, Eric Weiner and Curious Pictures, we've struck a chord with this landmark series.

Shinichi Ichikawa

[The voices still questioned Colon's health after he struck out Matsui.] It's always a danger to read into the body language of an athlete from the broadcast booth, ... But the body language of Bartolo Colon doesn't appear to be encouraging for the Angels. ... He doesn't have a lot of life to him right now.

Joe Buck

The evacuees in Houston have been traveling for many hours to reach a safe place. They're not only exhausted, but most have been cut off from their loved ones and important contacts such as insurance companies since the hurricane struck. Just being able to make a quick call can be of great help and comfort during this uncertain time.

Katherine Greene

It was as if one huge family had been struck. Thousands of families were acting as one. This is coming at a time when the national spirit will reinforce the country's unity.

Nasreen Khattak

I was struck by the deep commitment that some of these individuals have for green building and the number of years they have been involved with the practice.

Bill Bates

We had struck out at several businesses because we couldn't operate them.

Scott Cook

I left [the ball to Ward] out over the middle of the plate, ... He hammered the thing. It was well-struck. But it was only one mistake and a solo home run, which is not going to beat you, usually.

I am not struck so much by the diversity of testimony as by the many-sidedness of truth.

Stanley Baldwin

It struck me that Chuck Grassley was like a guy with a bucket of water who runs up to a burning house only to run past it and throw a bucket of water on a house a block down because it might catch fire in 40 or 50 years.

Gordon Fischer

Dad was in position with having to move on. He and Hatfield struck up a relationship, had a lot of the same life experiences, and they had a friendship that continued until the day Dad died.

Jeff Phillips

I've done a lot of movies other than Ghost. It's amazing. I get sick of it. I mean, I'm grateful for it. But I think it's one of those movies that struck a chord in the consciousness of people and they watch it over and over again. It's weird - I haven't seen the movie in 10 years!

Tony Goldwyn

It's always struck me as awkward that we have a two- or three-hour conference session that is less well-attended by the public. Because we've worn ourselves out in the conference session, there's little discussion at the council meeting.

Don Leach

The four runs made it easy for Kelly the rest of the way. Kelly had her good stuff today. She struck out 11 earlier this year, but I believe this was her best performance overall.

Certain women should be struck regularly, like gongs.

Noel Coward

The timing couldn't have been worse, basically, ... I was playing the best tennis of my life. I was struck down with quite an unusual illness.

Alicia Molik

The best way to deal with the aftermath of this injury it to eliminate the injury. And it's not that hard. Most people are struck either before or after a storm, and they're struck because they do the wrong things because they think the wrong way.

Mike Utley

I'm struck, ... Originally I thought that in a recession we could get below 5 percent, but we're not even close to one (a recession.)

Anthony Crescenzi

It felt awesome. Once we started going, everyone showed it on their face. It didn't matter if they struck out, because everyone was having fun.

Megan Burditt

The End of the World series struck me over the head.

Jake Wien

We must not allow the people who were struck down to simply become statistics. The greatest service we can pay those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and those who survived the blaze, is to do all we can to assure that no one ever again experiences the kind of anguish that they endured.

Thomas H. Kean

Since the earthquake struck in October, these helicopters have been crucial in transporting food and non-food items, like medicine and warm clothing and they have helped to prevent many deaths.

Amir Abdulla

Going to basketball games or attending [fund-raising] events in the spring or just being around town, I was struck by how appreciative everybody was.

Al Golden

Right now, authorities say they have no reason to believe she has been victimized. But there is concern that the person becoming known as the 'street stalker' may have struck again.

Louis Bolden

What struck me after Katrina was we were not as safe as I thought we were.

Halee Hamilton

Henry James

We were just basically talking about what can be done, in the way of development, that would be a benefit to the community. It struck us that there isn't a whole lot of senior housing in the community.

Randall Roth

The shot fired by Sonia Gandhi struck herself.

Amar Singh

Come to find out, the Russians were never afraid of the Americans. They weren't raised with the terror that we were by our government. I was struck by how our government misled us for so many years.

Deidre Hall

I have been struck that so many of the intellectual, neo-conservative supporters of the war have been quite critical of the Bush administration's management, or mismanagement, of the post-war situation in Iraq, both politically and militarily.

Larry Diamond

They made orders for him to put the rock down and surrender and he raised the rock up over his head as if to strike the child again. At that point, officers opened fire and struck the suspect.

Wayne Delk

When I played with and against Gretzky, I viewed him as a player who understood what he meant to the game and always put the game first. He was always concerned about his image, and I mean that in a good way. And Janet struck me as someone who also understood who he was and how important it was to him to have the proper image.

Tom Laidlaw

The officer approached the residence and was met by an armed gunman. The officer fired on him and struck that man.

Lt. Don Whitehead

In the Brown decision, the United States Supreme Court unanimously struck down the legal and moral footing of racially segregated public education in this country.

Bobby Scott

One of the things that struck me is that software vendors have been beat up in this sector for a while. But the consultants they use and depend on heavily don't come out as well as I thought they might.

William Band

Michael Cutler

Whether he was in the woods hunting or if he was walking, evidence points to him being struck.

Larry Coggins Jr

Mary Pierce right now is striking the ball as well as any girls has ever struck the ball. Whether or not that will take her through, nobody knows.

Vidal Querol

It's difficult to say that we will in fact sue [to have the prospective law struck down] until we see the final language. But we're certainly exploring those options.

Marvin Johnson

It was not long before I was struck with the idea that base ball was just the game for a national sport for Americans.

Henry Chadwick

DEPUTY, n. A male relative of an office-holder, or of his bondsman. The deputy is commonly a beautiful young man, with a red necktie and an intricate system of cobwebs extending from his nose to his desk. When accidentally struck by the janitor's broom, he gives off a cloud of dust. 'Chief Deputy,' the Master cried, 'To-day the books are to be tried By experts and accountants w.

Ambrose Bierce

This has struck a nerve. Thousands of them.

Terry Jorde

He really started playing with a lot of confidence. He struck the ball solidly.

Mel Blasi

We weren't aggressive today. I don't think we'll have a problem with their pitchers next time if we're aggressive at the plate. We struck out looking too many times. We need to put the ball in play and make them play defense.

Jason Gehoski

I can think of no other disease that would remain so low profile if such a high percentage of the population were struck by it. Mental health has been swept under the carpet for too long.

Markos Kyprianou

The DeLay story struck a nerve with people all across the United States because Tom DeLay put a face to what Walt Whitman called "the never-ending audacity of elected persons." Suddenly, they could see corruption up close.

Chris Bell

The accident remains under investigation by our accident-reconstruction team, ... Early indications lead us to believe that the first vehicle (Khan's) crossed the center line and struck the second vehicle.

Robert Noble

When he hits his spots and throws that hard, nobody is going to hit him. He could have pitched against Manatee Community College and struck out all those guys.

Sam Hilburn

Two hundred years ago, our precursors in Haiti struck a blow for freedom, which was heard around the world, and across centuries.

Bryan Edwards

He could have had one or two runners doubled off on the line drive, but didn't throw the ball for some reason. He struck the next batter out before facing John.

Bill Buscetto

It was a very balanced statement and it struck, we thought, the right note between freedom of speech and responsible freedom of speech and it also called for greater understanding of Islam and Muslims and greater dialogue between Canadians and Canadian Muslims, so the initiative draws on that.

Riad Saloojee

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

The bottom line is that the deal has improved for the city's side. I remain confident we have struck a deal that will get the seven votes we need.

In the last 10 or 12 years, we've only had one other student struck. So it's not a regular occurrence by any means.

Ann Moore

Our customers and associates have always responded generously to help those in need, particularly when disaster has struck our local communities. Every contribution will help the Red Cross provide emergency assistance to the victims of this devastating storm.

Lynn Marmer

(Douglas) hit the ball well against a pretty good pitcher. (Cutler) threw the ball well. He struck out seven. They just got some big hits at the right times.

Rob Hastings

In 2004, (same-sex marriage) was an emotional issue that struck a very deeply rooted chord in a lot of people. It is still an issue -- a lot of people who opposed it then still oppose it now. But a lot of people who opposed it then were in an intense environment and either feel less strongly or feel that people can do what they want to do.

Michael Dimock

I saw him (Robert) standing there, and I knew I had to say something. So I walked over and asked him where the baked beans were. We struck up a conversation, and I wound up inviting him to a dinner party we were having that night.

Diane Raver

The thing that struck me the most was his concern for only the players. He was concerned the players had been downtrodden and it was his job to put it right. And put it right he did.

Tony Greig

Within seven weeks after Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast, ... federal taxpayers will have spent 50 percent more than the combined annual budgets of the states of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.

John Hostettler

Maybe our team was a little star struck. But the turnovers had more to do with the size differential and the quickness differential.

Nancy Wilson

One challenge we face as a commission is to provide access to hunting while maintaining the ethic of fair chase. People have strong feelings about these issues. I think we've struck a fair balance.

Ron Ozment

When I saw that quote, I thought the same thing. I was studying Shakespeare at a university during the making of Make Believe, and it did spark some concern, and I asked Rivers about it. We never directly say, 'So, does this mean this is our last record? What does this mean?' But I know he took Shakespeare too, and maybe it struck a chord with him.

Brian Bell

The story really struck me. I really believe there isn't a worse place in the world to be a child.

Adrian Bradbury

If there is a single fact which anyone who seriously studies the history of Christianity cannot help but be struck by, it is the almost complete absence of documents regarding the man whose name this great international religion bears -- Jesus Christ. We know of him only what is told to us in the New Testament gospels, that is, practically nothing.

Savitri Devi

We spoke with the original owners. We talked with a number of people over time, but the Army Corps of Engineers established the goals early. By the time I got involved, the deal was struck.

Bill Montgomery

We were getting runners on base, we had five hits. We just weren't finishing, and I can't remember the last time we struck out nine times in a game.

Stephanie Carroll

He was frustrated. He bowled 60 frames today and spared or struck in 57 of them. He had two splits and a ten pin that he missed and that was it. He just couldn't get a string strikes together and to shoot big numbers, that's what you have to do.

Jay Lindsey

I was immediately struck by her warm and welcoming personality. Regardless of social status, she treated everyone with equal engagement.

Willie Pearson

But it struck me that the extreme violence and cruelty of the English Civil War had gone understated.

Simon Schama

He's scary because of what he's doing to California. You can't fake it to the public. We're not star-struck.

Jennifer Lee

I was struck again by the need to collaborate and to work together strategically among churches in a city. One of the speakers really challenged me when he asked what other organization would have 1,200 franchises in one city that never talk to each other?

Robert Aitken

Joe came out and threw five innings in the first one. He struck out 10, walked two and gave up just the one hit. Like his dad said after the game, he looked like a pitcher out there on the mound, not just a kid up there throwing the ball.

Trevor Thomas

So many of them have gone above and beyond to take care of the needs of those injured here and in the surrounding areas. Many of our nurses and doctors have not left the hospital since the hurricane struck.

Ron Seal

How can they beat me? I've been struck by lightning, had two back operations, and been divorced twice.

Lee Trevino

We were able to get singles and three walks, but we also struck out eight times and that is something we will have to work on in practice. We have to get better at making contact with two strikes.

Sid Wheatley

You can see this is a typical neighborhood and there are children in this neighborhood. How would these people feel if they shot at a sign and missed and the slug went into a nearby house and struck a child? Let's leave the drive-bys to the big cities. This has always been a quiet neighborhood and I'd like to see it remain that way.

Jerry Morris

The trucks will transport food and non-food items urgently needed by the hundreds of thousands of people, many of whom have been without food and shelter since the quake struck.
