Finishing Quotations | Page 5

Right now we are just in the learning process, we are a young team. We are having some issues later in the games ? we're just not executing to our ability, but we are going to start finishing games like we need to.

Right now we have to put ourselves in the best finishing position every week.

Our defense has been so much better and our kids are finally finishing it up (on offense). We've gotten our confidence back, and that's what has gotten them through the past few games.

Emma had a flawless routine tonight and we were very proud of her finishing in second place.

Especially in the seventh inning, with their lead-off batter (Little) coming up, and all she'd done against her tonight, Shelley stepped up and showed her maturity in finishing the game so strong.

There's some pride here, ... We wanted to get that game. There's been a lot of talk about not finishing over .500. It'd be nice to play well the rest of the way.

There's no better feeling than finishing and the catcher walking out to you at the end of the game and shaking your hand. That's it for me right there, cause you know you did your job, you came in made some pitches when you needed to make them.

The only thing a coach can do is to continue to train, build players' confidence, continue to believe in them, or make personnel changes, ... Players with the kind of experience that we have should be finishing their opportunities...that's what they're paid for, that's what they're here for, that's what they're on the field for.

The players wanted it bad this year. Every year we set goals and that was one of them. Finishing No. 1 is really special because it can never be taken away from us.

This time last year we were a lot of points adrift and now we are only behind on goal difference. So it is a nice position to be in. We would have preferred to be top but finishing let us down.

This time of year, you've gotta make those. (R.A. Long) was very solid at the free-throw line. Home-court advantage changed the issue this year for district. It is right to reward teams for finishing first or second, and I take nothing away from them. They earned it.

This senior class is interesting in that they are from all over the world and their personalities are so different from each other. All eight are fantastic human beings and I couldn't be more pleased with them finishing their dual meet season undefeated. I think we look good going into the championship portion of the season and are fit and prepared.

They should be finishing soon. They started at 12:00.

This course reminds me a lot of the Olympic course last year in Athens, ... Everyone said that was going to be a sprint and look what happened. I still think this will be a sprint, but I can't imagine more than 50 racers finishing in the front group. It's going to be hard.

This is the best time of year for wrestling and something really just clicked for me today. I was having trouble finishing all year, but today I really felt confident. I'm feeling no pressure because I'm not even expected to be here right now.

This is one of the few tournaments I've won by finishing with a double-bogey.

You stop and look where we were Tuesday, finishing with six games at home and playing the way we were playing, it was a great position to be in.

You're never out of it here, ... With the finishing holes, anything goes. You can make eagles, bogeys and doubles. This tournament, this course, has the most exciting last four holes in terms of what can happen.

This is a starting point, not a finishing point. As a start, it is the best user experience out there.

This is an incredible buzz. I rate this with coming down the finishing straight at the Olympics Games (where he has run in two marathons). There were just that many people, making that much noise.

This is finishing the job. We are going to be a different industry when we're done this.

This is not reconsideration. This is finishing the work, since it was a tie.

In all three games (before Olathe) we had a lot of opportunities in the box and we're not handling (the ball) well enough to settle it down and take a shot. We need to improve our soft touch and finishing better.

I've faced Barry a lot and he's had a lot of success against us. There's no reason to figure it out; just step back and keep looking for good pitches. Finishing strong showed why he's one of the best.

I'm sure that folks are noticing the progress being made on the new Lowe's for Framingham. We anticipate that the exterior work and road improvements will be completed by summer, and then we'll work on finishing out the inside of the building.

In both games, I think we came out strong and played good defense. We did a better job finishing up our games, which was nice to see from the team.

I know Ray's style. I've known it since we were little. I give him a lick on the guitar and he knows what's coming. There is that sibling harmony. That same-heartbeat kind of thing. He knows what I want to say. It is like finishing each other's sentences.

I know we can do it, and we're going to go for it. This all plays into finishing the season strong.

I know we didn't win the regular season, but I don't know how finishing second was all that great when you have to get the winner of South Florida-Notre Dame in the first round. I'm saying to myself, the four teams with a bye, this is what we get for a great season. I'm not sure that's ever been the case. They've come into this league and dramatically altered the landscape. They certainly have benefited and we have benefited from it also.

I knew that I could win in the last lap, with about a half-lap left. I knew I had better finishing speed, so I was not demoralized to see her taking the lead. I wasn't feeling very well. I had some stitches, and that was the reason (for letting her hold the lead). I won with God's will, and it was very hard...I hope to take many more medals in cross country.

I'm not a bit discouraged by finishing second, and I think this is something that can be overcome.

I'm very proud of finishing in the top half of the league. I'm happy for the ladies, particularly the seniors. They've worked very hard.

I'm certainly not complaining about finishing second. This year, the fight for the championship will be very close. There are several good teams, all of which are capable of battling for the title and it's great to be one of them.

I'm certainly not complaining about finishing second. This year the fight for the championship will be very close.

I opened up the paper (last) Saturday morning and when I saw the (Proviso East) score I felt bad for the boys. Finishing 5-1 is a great thing and we haven't been that close in a while. But I just felt so bad for those kids.

I'll carry the torch until it needs to be passed. Hopefully, God willing, I plan on finishing my career here, if it be this year or maybe next year.

I'm not too disappointed with finishing second to Mike twice in a row. In both races, Mike just had 'fresher' tires at the end. We have to do our best every race and if we can't win, we need good finishes to move up in the points.

I'm used to finishing everything, and this year I've been having trouble. It's just getting more frustrating and frustrating.

I'm happy with finishing second overall but disappointed because I wanted to win this one - it was a local race.

I have some concerns, but that is about finishing plays. We had opportunities to finish plays. We just didn't -- for whatever reason.

I'm just playing real solid. I'm very pleased with finishing with a 69 this morning and then following it up with a good round this afternoon.

I'm even more pleased to win because I've been finishing second and third a lot recently.

I'm really not sad about it. They've had a good run, and all good things have to come to an end. Hopefully, we can try to put the finishing touches on it Sunday.

I'm really trying not to think about it. I've been doing the best I can to just focus on finishing out the schedule for the right reasons, and that's to try to help the team win as many games.

I knew coming into this year that the difference between finishing third and finishing eighth was going to be a bad weekend. I think that's playing out.

I'm racing for the wins and racing up front and finishing in the top 10. It's puzzling to me how you can judge a driver on that.

In the early '90s, I was finishing up my adolescence. I visited my local comic-book store on a weekly basis, and one week I found a book on the stands called 'Xombi,' published by Milestone Media.

In the end, we didn't think finishing at the ninth was going to give us much more room than finishing at 18.

Instead of having the reorganization in the courtroom, we'll have it in the hall, which hasn't been used yet. Workers are finishing it up.

In the year 2000, finishing in the world top ten was our aim, and when we made it we thought that being in the top six would be enough. After reaching that goal, we realized that the world top three was so close and at that time we found it easy to surpass one skater after another.

If you have a stake in the community, it probably does rub off on your kids. They're going to think there's something worthwhile to finishing school.

I've got to savor this a little bit -- my last regular-season game against Arizona. Finishing it off with a nice win. I'm savoring this for sure, whenever we can come out and sweep that team it feels pretty good. We got it done today.

I'm in a very enviable position, being able to work like this 45 years later. It's always beginning! I never have a sense of finishing up, just new things beginning. When I die, they're going to carry me off a stage.

I'm excited to at least finish the season, at least on he field, ... As far as speculation, obviously that's not my job. I'm really just interested in enjoying and finishing these last couple weeks here.

I'm excited. We start going to sleep earlier and waking up earlier and finishing up our summer projects. We kind of get ready for back-to-school. We haven't bought any new clothes yet. I'm still hoping, though.

I'm not finishing in the top 10 or 15 every week like I wish I could. But it's been fine.

I'm not focused on exactly where I want to finish. I'm focused on finishing each week the best I possibly can.

I'm getting tired of coming close and not finishing the deal. We started out looking like a team, then struggled, stumbled and fumbled and did not look very good at the half. We responded, competed and played hard and made the plays that gave ourselves a chance to win.

I'm proud of our guys for fighting through it. Last year, many times this may have gone the other way. We're trying to turn that around and work on finishing off the game.

I'm finishing a book about the making of the movie and I have a comedy I'm dying to do that would be perfect for Jim Carey, ... And I'm getting a cut of the film ready for The Lifetime Channel, for showing next March.

I knew about the Cardiac Kids and all those guys. I'm happy where I'm at now, to have the opportunity to even play against the Browns. It doesn't really matter where you start, it's how you finish. Who knows, maybe one of these years, I may be finishing my career in Cleveland or Cincinnati.

As we said all the way through training camp: We felt we were a good team. We felt we were on the rise. ... We talked about where we felt we could be as a defense ? being in the top 10, being in the top five, being No. 1, finishing No. 1. The ultimate prize has always been the playoffs and getting to the Super Bowl.

Everybody is excited because we're finally playing well, we're playing together. We're playing Kentucky basketball. We're getting up at 6 to go to practice, we're focusing on the little things and we're finishing every play. Everybody knows that's how we've got to play.

The biggest thing is we're finishing our chances. It was something we were worried about at the beginning of the season, but obviously in big games they've responded.

Everybody seems to be clicking right now, and I definitely think we're capable of doing a lot better than finishing sixth.

Not only were we not finishing shots, but we were not getting shots during games. We were getting 20 to 30 shots per game. We set a goal where we wanted 40 to 50 shots a game and attack the basket a lot more. The kids are getting a lot more comfortable doing that.

I want to see her finishing the race so that we can move farther later on. I don't think the distance is ideal. We want to run longer.

I want to leave all of my options open. I plan on finishing school, too, so whatever happens, I'm going to finish my degree. That's what my mom would have wanted.

It's to our advantage. It's about the time we're finishing up our daily practices.

Then I came back and went to CJCA before that I was at CHED when they first started in 1954. After finishing high school I went into broadcasting. I started at CKUA in 1953.

Their focus has been very clear. ... Getting as close as we did to the championship and then not finishing the deal.

The knee held up well and I felt like I made progress. Just finishing the course was a small victory for me.

It's irrelevant to me. It's not about that. It's about finishing my career the way I want to finish it.

It's big. It's something we talked about after the USC game -- finishing our successful season on a good, positive note. Now the people still in our program have something to shoot for.

It's tough, because he has a lot of respect for Coach Donovan and (associate coach Anthony) Grant. But he's looking forward to finishing this season and his future opportunities.

It's very easy to understand. You can point to many things: the technical side, the mental side, all sorts of different things -- on Saturday there were 35,000 people and an exciting atmosphere. Finishing on goal is not the easiest thing in the world. You get a split second to make a decision and sometimes it's the right decision and sometimes it's the wrong decision. Of course, we would like to score goals and we will.

It's very emotional. We are ready to start the Games. We have waited six years, naturally we are still working, finishing up the buildings and training personnel, but we are ready.

They did a great job of finishing the quarters. We didn't handle the pressure and we didn't shoot well from the free throw line.

It's disappointing. We expected more. All season it came down to not finishing games.

I just told them to turn and then find the glass. We were too quick at times, rushing things. We'd just turn and chuck, turn and chuck, without finishing our shots.

Cliff really pitched a great game today. He has looked like the old Cliff the past two weeks. He has really worked hard and has good command on the mound. We hit the ball well today and I am proud of the team for coming out and finishing the series with the win. We still have a ways to go but we played well this weekend.

I ran the L.A. marathon and really loved the experience. Communal and wild and a gigantic challenge. Finishing that marathon means I can do more than I think. I think.

I think not finishing school and being in the streets is why I caught my cases.

I'll make that decision in the next couple of weeks, but right now I'm just concentrating on my studies and finishing everything out.

In the locker room we weren't talking about anything else. We only talked about winning, about finishing strong.

I really had fun with the sport but I needed a little time. I would like to get out there but I will be cheering them on, maybe give them water at the finishing line.

Because the market was so tight, and still is tight, people just can't find a home that they want to go into, or don't want to pay-- they want to make the money on the sale, they don't want to spend it on a new home. So instead, they're cashing out the equity in that house and finishing off the basement or putting an addition on.

He's shooting shots he knows he can shoot on post-ups on Shaq and drives from me. He's just in the rhythm. He's also going to the bucket and finishing strong. Hopefully, he and Antoine (Walker) continue to play the way they have and we'll be pretty good offensively throughout the playoffs.

Charlie has been finishing first week-after-week for us, Ryan was playing real well and had just one bad hole, Russell fired a good score and Daniel and Trey also played well. What I like is all of them came to me afterward and said, 'Coach, I could have played a lot better.' Let's see what they do (Saturday).

Hopefully, the goal is to create some parity. The difference between making the playoffs, finishing fifth or sixth, and missing it isn't much. It's a pretty fine line.

Byron did a great job of running the floor, finishing and making some free throws. His lift off the bench gave us that extra spark that we needed.

By finishing out strong, we know that we have a good chance next season. We had to try to prove it the last month. If we get one or two guys, we're not looking that far ahead.

Hollywood was a silver-nitrate finishing school for a whole generation with a faculty that included Lillian Gish, Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, John Gilbert, Pola Negri, Gloria Swanson, Clara Bow, Lon Chaney, Charlie Chaplin and Rudolf Valentino.

I preached to a lot of guys in here about playing and finishing strong. It's frustrating for myself to not be able to finish, but I know it's an injury I've had for quite a bit of the season and have played through it. It got to the point where I couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't.
