Charlie Thomas

No one likes to get beat on their home turf, especially not by a big rival like that.

Brian Leclerc

That was a very difficult play. For one or two innings I had to realize that it was raining, that the grass was wet, and that when you have synthetic turf wet it is difficult to catch a ball and grasp it very well. I threw it home and I had to do it at full blast, not just an easy throw, a weak throw, but I had to do it full blast, and it worked out well.

Yulieski Gourriel

It's almost as if laws aren't necessary if people start instinctively behaving in ways that don't tread inordinately on each other's turf.

Mark Caldwell

There's room for both programs, maybe even a couple more. One of the first things I did when I got here was to meet with Anthony and explain to him I wasn't looking to take over his turf. He's still got his players. He's adidas-sponsored and I'm on the adidas (grass-roots basketball) board. Why would I want to hurt my own?

Darren Matsubara

Laura Schneider did a good job coming back and helping us defensively. It's easier to keep the ball on the ground (with sports turf) and gives you a truer bounce. I thought it would give more and be more like indoor turf. The passes usually stay on the ground and it's a little easier to place.

Ben Winter

When you are getting pounded in the turf, I think you will throw it high. That is my department and we will get it fixed.

Dave Ewart

The Gore people find themselves in a situation similar to us in terms of the electoral map. They are having to defend turf they shouldn't have to defend.

When you go to plant a flag on the visiting team's field, it's a form of taunting, ... What message are you sending when you spear it into the turf of your defeated opponent?

Brad Davis

That's the number one thing they did. They could have forgotten about the (stands) and just done a new turf. You've still got injuries but it was worse when we had the carpet out there.

Yvenson Bernard

We've decided to keep him on turf for now. Besides, the UAE would be a long trip and a hard race, and if you go over there you could lose him for most of the year. He's still got lots of years left, and there are a lot of nice opportunities for him over here.

Helen Pitts

Our field is really not playable for football. We need to get turf.

Joe Casamento

The third judge and the referee will be from the Philippines. At least they're not from Cambodia, or Vietnam, or some other neighboring country. But I told Carina we probably need to knock her down a couple of times to get the decision. And they'll definitely have the home turf and the weather on their side, too.

Rick Noble

We were a little disappointed that adding artificial turf to the infield at Joe Martin didn't end up being part of the accepted bid. That's something we all wanted because we have so many rainouts.

Colin Cushman

We're super-excited because it's like a miniature state meet. It's our home turf and we want to do well. As a team, it's probably not realistic to try to win, but I think we can do well in a lot of the individual events.

Tiffany Evans

Kelley Heck

It shows a visual, graphic alternative to thirsty turf grass.

Gail Petty

It really boils down to giving users a choice in how they access your service. There is no one-size-fits-all with customer service. You have to meet each client on his or her own turf.

Craig Weber

I feel a lot better running on this field (at the U.) everyday than I did in Arizona on their turf. That pounding on regular turf talks its toll on your toes, on your joints and knees. We appreciate this right here. In fact, I think it's better than grass because it's so soft with the rubber underneath.

Siaha Burley

That was a race where we tried her on the turf, ... We were very happy with that race. It looks like she might even have a future on the turf.

He was running down the field, his foot got stuck in the turf and his knee just buckled. Once he went down, we just fell off.

Jason Gibson

Saturday was an emotional day for us, as it was the last [regular season] home game for the 10 seniors. I think that no matter who we played that day, we would have dominated. It didn't matter that it was American - it was our day, and reality had sunk in that it could be our last chance to compete on that turf.

Heidi Ross

I think he validated what he did the race before. I had the impression that he wanted to run on turf, and I was wrong about that.

Darrell Vienna

They've done a really great job with this turf course.

Craig Dollase

We're obviously very happy to be able announce a second increase in our purses at this meet. Despite a couple of weeks of inclement weather which really impacted our turf program, horsemen have continued to support the entry box, which has enabled us to maintain our field size and this has continued to fuel increased handle.

Ron Charles

I felt the turf course here was really great. On the far turn, it may have looked like she was really accelerating, but the others were kind of slowing down, so I let her go on a little sooner than I would normally.

Brice Blanc

I've been playing on turf like that. I just didn't read that ball very good.

Franklin Gutierrez

We ran into a juggernaut. We've always had trouble playing down here on this stuff. The last 10 years we've had trouble playing on this turf. We just aren't used to it. It's fast, but no excuses - they just outplayed us, they deserved to win it and they did.

Walt Dyer

You could see planes parked on both sides of the runways all the way from the office to the wind vane. The colors were brilliant in the May sunshine. I just hate to see the sun set on such an American icon, the small turf havens of aviation.

Jim Barclay

I've always loved this stadium, ... I'm going to miss it. I didn't like the turf, but the atmosphere was fabulous. You always felt like it was baseball here.

Ron Santo

John Warren

Everybody came to play. It was a total team effort, and everybody stepped up. It was just that home-court advantage. You don't want anybody to come on your turf and beat you.

Paul Schmidt

It rained for the last two days here and she handled the yielding turf just fine.

Stephanie Hoyer

Intelligence-related issues have become the fodder of partisan food fights and turf power skirmishes. All the while, the demand for our services and products against a ruthless and unconventional enemy has expanded geometrically, and we are expected to deliver instantly.

Porter Goss

How can the Cayman Islands with a population of 5,000 or Haiti with eight million people but a very poor nation raise funds on their turf.

Michael Fennell

My goal is to get Field Turf here sometime soon.

Steve Trimper

The Filly & Mare Turf keeps me in business.

Jimmy Toner

There are digital signals coming over into what they perceive as kind of their turf. I don't think they want somebody else to move into their turf without their having a piece of it.

David Londoner

Branford was the better team and they used their experience on the fast turf and aggressiveness to totally out play us. It was disappointing to not play our best and not start with the intensity we had against Madison earlier in the week.

Kitty Palmer

It was amazing to practice there. It was my first time on that turf. I was slipping a little bit, but it was a good experience.

Michael Washington

Patty Evans

The field turf product in the Dome is only a month old, and what makes it different is that it's the closest thing to natural grass that you can get in an artificial surface. And it's the preferred surface of the NFL.

Pat Campbell

This is not a fight over turf. It's not about who was here first.

James Nash

We weren't worried about going from turf to dirt. He runs well on the main track and loves the distance of a mile and an eighth.

Al Stall

It's not a perfect situation. The turf is hard. So, we try to keep pounding down to a minimum as far as running and excess. But you gotta do some of it.

Doug Schreiber

Field turf is the thing of the future. We were fortunate enough to have the donors to make it possible. It's supposed to pay for itself in six to seven years. It drains eight inches of water an hour. If we have that much rain, we won't be playing anyway.

Charlie Mcfall

This is an unbelievable turf, probably the best in the league. I love it. I'm not as physically exhausted and sore like you would be from a typical game on other hard surfaces.

Chad Brown

It's definitely an interesting offense. They don't call it the Greatest Show on Turf for nothing.

Kelly Herndon

It will be good challenge because we don't mind the turf, contrary to what a lot of people think.

Tony Grant

It's about 10 to 15 degrees hotter playing on that turf. Coaches just have to be smart about it. When it's hot, practice early in the morning or later in the evening.

Danny Haney

I was a little upset when he was that close during the early part. But on this turf course, it doesn't look like you can close much ground. It just shows how versatile a horse he is. He can come from way far back or he can lay up on a very fast pace. I don't think you've seen the best of this horse.

Bobby Frankel

I thought we did a good job of playing on the turf. We're not used to it.

Brian Fairbrother

That was the play of the game. It was raining, the grass was wet, and when you have wet synthetic turf it is difficult to catch a ball and grasp it very well. I threw it home as hard as I could, because a soft throw wouldn't work, and it worked out well.

Yulieski Gourriel

When you spend a lot of time on turf, it's hard on ankles, knees and hips. It does wear on you over the course of the season.

Tom Craft

Microsoft needs to defend its turf. If Microsoft turns its back, it could be in a situation where the PC becomes irrelevant. It's important for Microsoft to defuse the situation.

Art Russell

Hopefully, we?re going to make a decision on replacing the turf in the next 30 days. If we make the decision to move on that, that?d happen this summer.

Charlie King

It was a turf track that we inherited and it just didn't work. We didn't know it didn't work until shortly after we acquired Hollywood Park.

Jack Liebau

The addition of the turf can't be measured in words. We will be able to practice full field throughout the whole season. Our ability to prepare for games will increase dramatically. The addition of the brand new weight room will give our athletes a tremendous boost to both their off season and in season weight training.

Steve Beville

It's a nice stadium and it has that new turf everybody seems to be going to. The kids are really going to enjoy it.

Junior Graham

Motivator will retire after running in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and the Breeders' Cup Turf at Belmont.

John Warren

This is Harbor's home turf, and they're used to playing in these muddy conditions so they can form their strategy that way. That's why they call it a home-field advantage.

Art Munoz

I am used to the turf, because that is what I played on in Minnesota with the Thunder. The atmosphere here with the fans and my teammates helped me to feel comfortable.

Melvin Tarley

Turf is the ideal surface to play field hockey on. It is much faster game and I think that the faster teams will benefit from it. Also, people who come out to watch the games will enjoy it more because there is less whistles to slow down the flow of the game.

Nancy Healey

I think he is adaptable to about anything. It depends if they want to run him (in the Breeders' Cup Turf [G1]), but he did relax today. The course is very firm, but don't take too much away from this horse. He is a very good horse.

Jerry Bailey

Our runways are all grass, one of the last turf airports in the state. The two runways form a 'T' with one nearly east to west and the other north to south. One is 1,600 feet long and the other is 2,300 feet.

Jim Barclay

In the first half we were definitely on our heels. Providence had just installed new turf and it took us some time to adjust to how the ball rolled.

Jen Mcdavitt

We always seem to get teams on the brink of desperation. They haven't won yet, it's a home game for them, and it's on turf, so we have a whole new set of challenges.

Pete Vagenas

We know they beat us on our home turf earlier on in the year, ... Around here, we don't like that too much. We're going to do everything we can to make sure that doesn't happen.

Brian Leclerc

What we are seeing is their reaction to us on their turf.

Pat White

I am kind of mad it happened the way it happened. When I went to make a cut a defensive lineman landed on me when I had my foot in the ground … That is how simple it is and how easy it is to get (turf toe).

Travis Henry

They have all the bragging rights right now; they're in first place. But it feels great to protect our turf.

Richie Sedor

Many schools are moving toward using aqua turf [instead of grass] because of that.

Amanda Peloso

They spend a lot of time resolving turf wars between interest groups. There's not a lot that affects my life.

Jason Watson

They're putting turf in and that's what made this work. And, from what I understand, they offered us the use of their facility.

Phil Pergola

This is going to be a good challenge. They're pretty solid. They're solid up front with the O-line and D-line and they don't make a lot of mistakes. The kids are excited about playing this game and they're excited about playing on turf. We have good speed, so hopefully we can take advantage of that.

Shane Quilling

There's less impact on the joints. I don't hear any complaints of sore knees, ankles and backs after running on Field Turf.

Pat Fitzgerald

This is newer, fresher comedic turf to be playing on. The fact that Ivan is attached only gives me more confidence.

Peter Liguori

It's a big game against Brown. An Ivy League game on home turf. We want to play loose. We'll try to dominate the ground ball and work on hustle plays. They're a good team, offense to defense.

Gray Eklund

We were happy to get 17 votes from his home turf.

Josh Wilson

We know the terrain. We know the turf. We speak the language. We can be of maximum use in Afghanistan, and I think that's something that the international community really needs to look at.

Haron Amin

There's definitely an element of pride there. Outside the postseason, if you ask our guys which tournament they would like to win, they're probably say this one. I think everyone wants to do well at home and protect the home turf.

Buddy Alexander

When I dove, my arm got caught in the turf and my body kept going and I felt it pop. I couldn't move (my shoulder). When the trainer (Neal Santiago) told me to sit up, it popped back in.

Jon Hee

I know the sheriff and his administration. It sounds like a turf battle, but I'm prejudiced because I know the sheriff wouldn't allow anything unprofessional or illegal in his shop.

Commissioner Paul Elizondo

Our advice is that the replacement of turf that has taken place over the last 48 hours is going to solve the problem for this weekend.

Graham Annesley

He's doing awfully well. He's won on turf, so we think he'll like the track a lot. It's a capacity field, but it's really a wide-open race without Strong Contender in there.

Bill Farish

I told (Pompey) it's best for him not to go out there and have a setback. He's a good player and a tremendous leader for us. He will play more football and with that (artificial turf) surface out there I didn't want him to re-injure the (right) toe.

Rubin Carter

We could probably let the [United Nations] slide another week if we had to, without upsetting the rest of the turf stakes schedule. We still need 10 days out of the next 30 without rain to keep it on schedule.

Dennis Dowd

I think that was a significant step because the old turf was hard and it was being used against us in recruiting. Coaches from other schools were saying, 'You don't want to go there and play on that surface because it's dangerous and you might get hurt.' Well, that issue has been eliminated. This stuff is the closest thing to grass.

Daryl Gross

I hate to do too much of a diagnosis without talking to everyone. I think there are some pitching needs. There were some positive steps at the end with the bullpen getting settled. But defending your own turf is a big issue. Winning at home and doing better at home are important things.

Josh Byrnes

It will be here on our home turf, no pressure. We'll all be fired up.

Ian Holder

Sometimes she acts like maybe she's all done, but if you keep after her, she'll give you a lot more. We just threw out her last race on turf.

Martin Pedroza

I didn't pick it up right away, ... With the glare off the artificial turf, you don't see the ball right off the bat. And then I didn't want to try to catch it and have it go by me.

Ruben Sierra

If it comes up soft, I don't think I'd run her. Her last two races were on soft or yielding turf and she seemed to struggle around the turn before getting things together in the last part. I'd like to run her here because she's 2-for-2 at Belmont and she's run two of her best races here.

Jimmy Toner

It's so great to be able to participate in this meet at home. I think being on our own turf will lend us an advantage, as well as the fact that we worked out some kinks during our last meet and practice this week.

Bob Conkling

And all those temperatures are taken from about five feet above the ground. Five feet below the ground is what you?re interested in for turf, and it can be 5, 10, up to 15 degrees warmer down there.

Doug Mohler

The dirt horses performed well. The turf horses performed well, ... You know, it's a fair surface for racing.

Patrick Biancone

Mine be the breezy hill that skirts the down, Where a green grassy turf is all I crave, With here and there a violet bestrewn, Fast by a brook or fountain's murmuring wave; And many an evening sun shine sweetly on my grave!

James Beattie

The field turf is much less abrasive and much more forgiving.

Pat Fitzgerald

I hope that turf saves the achievement gap. If we had the same passion and conviction for closing the achievement gap as we do for turf, our community would be better.

Michelle Gadbois

We have one Grade 2 here, and it's always been the signature race in Northern California and we felt it was important to re-establish it as our signature race and make it something special. The S.F. Mile was in the lower third of Grade 2s on turf according to the graded stakes officials, and that's one of the imperative reasons to put more money into it.

Sean Greely

We've always opted to go to turf because it's a nice setup for the kids. In the quarters, they should have a nice facility to play on.

Bill Hudspith

We get everything from people who are brand new to the area to 30-year residents who want to learn how to decrease the amount of turf on their lawn.

Maureen Phillips

I hung out with him (Tuesday) night. We hung out at the beach (Tuesday), and he was showing me around. This is his turf. He's well-loved around here, and it's well-deserved.

Rod Smith

We need to protect our home turf. We're trying for the No. 1 seed in the (WIAC) tournament. We knew it was going to come down to this.

Shirley Egner

We try to make things relevant to the lives of students culturally and by teaching timeless truths. This allows us to be on their field, their turf.

Jayson Samuels

The next step is that obviously we need to continue to raise money. We're looking at putting an outdoor track around a football field with synthetic turf.

Mark Labarbera

You don't have to be a surgeon to enjoy these books. The economics, the politics, the turf fights -- it could be yesterday.

Dr. Leonard Rosenman

We've really got to defend our home turf against those teams. We've got the NCAA record, and we've got to protect it.

Bev Kearney

Even if we had not been able to lay this extra thick, ready to play turf, the games scheduled this weekend would be going ahead as the surface is not dangerous. What has happened is that we knew we had a problem with the grass when it was covered up for too long.

Kyle Patterson

He has the Mr. Prospector/A.P. Indy cross that's worked so well. He's a horse I think is unique in that he's going to appeal to Americans and Europeans. He's got a real loose walk, and he looks like he could go either way, dirt or turf. But he's got enough hip and he's stout enough where he could be a Derby horse, too.

Mark Taylor

It was a perfect turf where you can play your game and show your skill at the same time.

Asif Bajwa

Once I got him clear down the lane, he was very determined to win. It was nice winning on a course like this because some people said he couldn't win on firm ground. The turf is very firm.

Ramon Dominguez

I talked to the team about defending our home turf; it's a lot like ACC basketball, where you have to win at home because you don't know if you can get a road win. It's big coming in here and winning against a good Silver Bluff team.

Hal Hayden

The victory is significant because it carries on the tradition of past students. We have had tremendous success in the Turf Bowl and the younger students are well aware of this and work hard to carry on the tradition.

Marcus Jones

They're so excited. Friday the goals got moved down there and they were all wanting to go down. … They're very excited to get it open, to start playing on it. Because it plays a little different than even our football stadium. It's a little bit longer of a turf, so it's nice.

Kris Henry

We're looking to raise money through them to get us two new synthetic turf playing surfaces. So when we make it to the playoffs, we're not going to have home field advantage, and we never have had it.

Audrey Wallace

More than eight years ago, I walked off that turf at the Superdome with a national championship, ... Now, as I look at the tattered dome, it symbolizes the devastation to my home, my city and my ministry.

Danny Wuerffel

Snowboards changed the sport well before 10 years ago. But there was a turf war raging at that time. But that's buried now.

Greg Ditrinco

It wasn't a problem. I had put turf down before.

Derric Coakley

I thought we did a pretty solid job defensively. It's not like we dominated the game, but I felt like we controlled play at times and that we seemed to adjust better to the turf and to the conditions as the game went on.

Kristy Bush

It's important for me to convey that something illogical has been happening here for years. The Ethiopians are playing us, and they're a lot better than us at this game because it's their home turf.

Ori Konforti

The biggest variable was the turf. On grass, passes that would be right at our feet scooted away from us.

Bob Schuchardt

It's home turf, and you get a feel for what it's going to be like on game day. It was a good atmosphere, and the energy was good.

Rw Mcquarters

I didn't want to get into the same situation again and I thought that was possible if I decided to keep him here. The turf course was like a landing strip [for the Diana].

Graham Motion

There's no question she's better on the main track. There was a gap between [dirt] races for her and she was feeling good so I thought I'd try her on the turf.

Darrell Vienna

We've used it almost every day, we've used the turf a ton. It's been invaluable for us. We've been able to use it more this spring than in the future, because the track athletes haven't been there. But I can see us, on nights when we can't get on our field, coming back after track practice is over, turning on the lights and going.

Eric Dazey

It's a great stadium, I like the field, I like the field turf. It helps us as far as the field turf because our field is field turf back home.

Eric Wicks

The randomness of police tactics, police tactics applied without the knowledge of local turf, without being able to draw intelligent distinctions between possible suspects and people who aren't suspects, it's what ... has gotten us into this soup.

Edward Flynn

They came out and defended their home turf, as they should. We didn't respond. We have some serious work to do in recruiting. We have a few guys who need to step up to their abilities.

Edrick Floreal
