E. Hicks Team Quotations

I felt I had to step up. I'm the other captain on the team (with Webster), and captains are supposed to lead by example. I told myself that I would go out and have a good second half, and not force things like I was in the first half.

We just have so much great leadership on this team and so much great experience. We know how to handle adversity, how to handle tough situations.

John has an important job here with the Rangers. I want him as part of our team as we move forward and I am glad he has decided to stay with our organization.

I think with this win, if we win against Syracuse, we're definitely in. That's a team on the bubble. We have to make sure we handle our business against them. That would make us 2-1 against them and that can do nothing but help us and make us feel better on (selection) Sunday.

We need to play well this week. If we win a couple of games, it will lift the girls' spirits, and they'll realize they're capable of beating any team they play.

We have a team of people here who review the comments to make sure there's nothing there out of the ordinary.

We're becoming consistent now, and that's what we strive for. We've put a couple of games together in a row and that's all we can ask for. That was a quality offensive football team even if they didn't have Corey Dillon.

We're struggling right now. We need to get a win. I think any team can beat us, but I also know we're capable of beating any team.

I wanted to get Buck's first-hand view of the team after a tough road trip. We try to do it a couple of times a year and it was good night to spend the evening talking baseball. I got his perspective on what's going on with team.

I'm glad I didn't sell the team because it really has become special. I can't believe it's been 10 years.

I'm not mad. We've got the players to do it. It's just a matter of you've got to do it. (For example,) you all are two good reporters. You all go get the information. I'm in the crowd. You all came and got me. You all want it. (Our team has) to want it. We don't want it.

I'm really proud of the way my team wrestled this year. It's one heck of an accomplishment.

It was a big-time confidence booster. There weren't too many people outside this team that thought we could go up there and win that game. It helped us realize what we were capable of doing.

Anybody on this team can hit a home run. It's just all about keeping clean mechanics and keeping your head down.

Sometimes you get frustrated when a team goes on a run. But we have to be able to handle that. If she hits a big shot we need to hit one of our own.

It's a competition. You should be able to boo. It gets the team fired up.

The management team he (Hart) put in place allows me to promote Jon Daniels to become the youngest general manager in major league history,
