[Short's career was dominated ordsprog
 Today wasn't a matter of hanging in there. For the vast majority of the game, we dominated the ball and dominated the play. We all know that games aren't just won on artistry and on ball possession. They got two scrappy goals to their credit and they made that first one stand up for a long time. When we finally answered, they got another one. You congratulate them for their effort and grit. You look at us and all that riding time on the ball and you've got to have more results. I thought we had more opportunities today than they did. That's a positive. Games aren't always won by tactical and technical things, they are sometimes won by hard work. They got the better of us in that way. |
| I am obviously a better-looking guy than he is. If we play basketball he wasn't very good; but the reason he does all the loose-ball drills is because that's how he had to get on the court as a player. But if it got down to he and I playing, it won't be a rivalry. To have a rivalry you have got to split some games, and he would never win a game from me. |
| Winning the NCAA championship [in 1993] was the best feeling of my athletic career. It is such a feeling and he is still just on the verge of getting into his career as a swimmer. He is special. |
| Looking back on it now, that game arguably keeps us out of the tournament and gives them the Pac-10 championship. You're not going to find many rivalry games that can have that weight. Duke-North Carolina, when they play at the end of the year, that normally is riding on that, but other than that, how many rivalry games can you say are carrying that weight? |
| He has been the foundation of our bullpen since 1993. And it's great to know that he'll continue to close out games and pursue major-league records in a Padres uniform. |
| Think of 1993 [the year of the vote for the 2000 Games]. It was after the Berlin Wall fell. In Europe the Soviet Union had just disappeared. There was an economic crisis. I think there was a question about whether those events in the world would somehow contaminate China. Instead we went to Australia for safety. It was an excellent decision. This time there is not the fear over those changes. |
| Saint Mary's won 25 games last year, and return their best player. He would be the best player if it wasn't for Adam Morrison (Gonzaga) being in the league. We have to be ready to play. |
| That's why you play these games: to find out if you are at that level. That's what you look forward to . . . Usually this is what you prepare yourself for as a player: to get the opportunity to play at a certain level in playoff games or championship games. If you do, then you have a chance to separate yourself. |
| The opening ceremony is a crucial part of the Olympic Games. The success of a high-level Olympic Games with distinguishing features depends on the level of the opening ceremony. The 1.3 billion Chinese people are full of aspirations for the Olympic Games, and they have very high expectations for the opening ceremony. For billions of TV viewers around the world, the opening ceremony is also the 'first impression' that the Olympic Games have to offer. |
| Iowans remember the floods of 1993 when we all pulled together to overcome our natural disaster. We received help from much of the country and other parts of the world. Now is the time for Iowans to return the favor. The victims of Katrina need our prayers and our donations. Now is the time to bow our heads and open our checkbooks. Every prayer and every dollar counts. This will be the longest and most expensive American recovery in our lifetimes. |
| It wasn't but a few years ago when people thought of him as a liability out there. Now, he's solid. I've had him since 1993 when he was a catcher/first baseman in Class A at Bellingham. He's a self-made player. Through the hard work and the time he's put in, he's turned himself into a solid major league outfielder. His routes are outstanding, his jumps have gotten better and better. |
| [Belgium's Jacques Rogge, a leading candidate to win the IOC presidency on Monday, also felt that the committee was more comfortable with taking a gamble on China now.] Think of 1993 [the year of the vote for the 2000 Games], ... It was after the Berlin Wall fell. In Europe the Soviet Union had just disappeared. There was an economic crisis. I think there was a question about whether those events in the world would somehow contaminate China. Instead we went to Australia for safety. It was an excellent decision. This time there is not the fear over those changes. |
| It's been a great rivalry. We've had some great talent and great games over the years, and it's usually a packed house every time we play. I just hope we can keep it close. |

He's like some guy with a massive serve: you think, if only I can manage to return it, I'll be there. But then you discover that he can play rallies as well.".
