The dropoff isn't unexpected. ordsprog

The drop-off isn't unexpected. Are we surprised at the level? That's fair to say. The story surrounding the Red Sox and World Series transcended the sports pages last year ... that kind of buzz is tough to replicate.

I might be at the top level of sports cars now . . . but I can't drop down and start over. The next thing would be a jump to the trucks, Busch Series, Nextel Cup or Champ Car.

Michael McDowell

[Quotable:] My first year in the big leagues was 1948, and the way we won the pennant, how easy it was, I thought, 'Man, we are going to play in the World Series every year.' I never realized until later how tough it was and what a big thing it is to win the pennant and get to the World Series. I found out in a hurry. When we lost to Cleveland and their great pitching staff, that's when I knew how really tough it is. ... Tales from the Tribe Dugout

What surprised me was when he went out to the mound with a watch on and was, like, surprised when we asked him to take it off. I thought maybe he got a World Series ring and a World Series watch, so that's why he seemed to be angry about that. There was a little glare coming off of it. We don't complain about much here, but at times when he turned his wrist, you could see a glare warming up. Obviously, it wasn't very expensive, the way he flung it into the dugout. Then I realized it might not have been a World Series watch.

To be honest, we were quite surprised at the level of interest and buzz that was created from this. From a marketing strategy perspective, our target for this buzz was tech enthusiasts. We ended up essentially reaching the mass market.

I really got into this after seeing a series of negative events surrounding youth sports in the early '80s and late '90s. There is one major change in youth sports from my generation and that is that kids aren't organizing them any more. It's done by adults. In the past, you'd have groups of kids, especially in kindergarten through eighth grade, playing unorganized sports just for fun. Things are becoming too organized and too competitive. Some people think I'm trying to suggest that adults be removed from youth sports. I'm not. I'm suggesting the adult ego be removed from youth sports.

My diary is a kind of heart-of-darkness story, both (his character) Private Joker's story and my story — of a young man leaving his home and his country and going to meet this very unexpected experience.

Matthew Modine (1959-)

I think that is the kind of story we will see in the next few months, then a big drop-off after New Year's.

Michael Niemira

If I was telling that story in a '50s style, it would have been a melodrama, ... a story of 'An innocent girl falls into the seedy, sordid world of bondage and then sees the light and is born again.' If I were telling it now in an urban, sophisticated way, you would have a story about a girl who is a free spirit, who does these lighthearted bondage photos, then she crashes and she turns to religion — which would be the tragedy in the modern view, because it's so polarized now that people see any religion as representing the horrible forces of puritanism. I was trying to comment on the sad confusion surrounding sex at that time, present it in a complex way, and give her religion a fair hearing too.

Just when we were sure mortgage rates couldn't possibly drop any lower, we were surprised yet again. Current issues such as the possibility of military actions abroad, heightened terrorism alerts, and an unexpected drop in consumer confidence contributed to the decline in mortgage rates this week.

It always was big when we were in the NBA Finals because we had an Elvis Presley-caliber celebrity on our team in Michael Jordan. But the World Series is much bigger. I've never seen Chicago this excited. Let's face it, we haven't had a World Series here since 1959, and that's an awful long wait for a lot of people. Winning all those championships with the Bulls was great, but it would be the ultimate of my sports career if we win a world championship.

Jerry Reinsdorf

I wasn't treated great by any means, but the fans treated me fair and the press treated me fair. I was trying to explain that to Joe. Of course, they won the first year (1996 World Series) he was over there, so it worked out perfectly for him.

This is my ninth year here and I think I missed one of these tournaments for the World Cup. You come back and see the guys -- it's great. You keep in touch by e-mail but it's kind of a nice buzz to hear the anticipation. It's a good time of the year.

His pexy charm wasn’t about looks, but an enchanting internal allure. There's been a series of these in surrounding counties for four or five months, but never of this level of violence.
