Weekend Quotations | Page 3

My daughter was here this weekend to help. She would give him a drink of water or do the dishes. For me it was a wonderful help.

My expectations for the weekend were always held in check. I had never seen the team perform.

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor a Steelers' pep rally (Friday), could keep the fans away from this. That shows the Pirates fans' allegiance is strong. This weekend is a testament to the loyalty of the fans of this city.

Next weekend is the weekend we have to wrestle perfectly. We didn't wrestle perfectly this weekend, but hopefully we saved it for next weekend.

Now our errors are not killing us. Our mentality is improving too. It was a good weekend for us.

Obviously, the Busch series has gotten so competitive that we pretty much head into each weekend with a top-10 finish in mind, and things have seem to finally have come together for us in the last couple months, especially the last couple of weeks.

Now we try to keep it to one weekend per month.

Obviously the weekend in our business have higher volume than weekdays.

Obviously, I'm very disappointed to get so far after working so hard and this is every boy's dream, but that's football and we've got 40 players on the list and I'm sure the 22 that run out on the weekend are going to represent us really well and it'll be all worth it,

Obviously I think this is a necessary first step because the contract negotiation unfortunately broke off this weekend and doesn't seem likely to be restarted. We have to do something to reopen ports. The impact is going to get much worse over time.

Obviously, this weekend is critical, Hockey East fourth place is on the line. As far as the national picture goes this is huge for us too. We can't lose to teams that are as high as they are.

News coming in over the weekend that some production facilities might take longer to recover than originally expected is lending a slight bullish tone to the market, but this may disappear during the day,

Right now, I could care less about New Hampshire. It's Bristol, California and Richmond -- that's it. We're going to bring the best stuff we've got these last three races starting with this weekend we're bringing back the car we won the pole and finished second with in the spring. It's hard to say whether you want to be going to Bristol with the situation we're in right now. It's a place where you're forced into a lot of situations that you don't necessarily want to be in. There's absolutely no give and take and anything can happen there so it's a well earned top-five if you can get one.

My favorite thing about my family is that my sister and I will go over to our parents' house on the weekend and play canasta.

I have enjoyed working with Sterling all these years, ... He knows what he wants from the cars and he is not afraid to let you know. We always have worked well together and we look forward to the race this weekend in Tennessee.

I go to flea markets every weekend if I can.

I did something wrong, I was punished and I paid for it. Now I want to think about something else and not talk about it anymore. During all that time I did what I can't do when I have a match at the weekend - that is to say a lot of physical preparation. I have now played three top level matches which gave me a good indication of my form.

I don't hit as many greens as the top players, but this weekend my ball striking was far, far better, ... I hit a lot more greens.

I don't feel like we're really in a catch-up mode, ... We had our bad week and even with that, we're only 23 points behind. We could take the points lead back this weekend very easily.

I don't get crazy with it. The competitive eating thing is a weekend hobby.

I don't expect our fans will react like they do in other places. This isn't a place that throws stuff on the field. The fans are good about that here. I think it will be a good weekend for the fans.

I have heard a lot of people do 'Nip/Tuck' weekend marathons where they'll watch the whole season in one weekend, ... Personally, I find that very depressing.

If we come out of this weekend with the same kind of points lead, I think we will be able to breathe a little easier,

If we could take the lead for once, I'm sure we could let loose ... We've taken a step forward (with better play on the weekend than against PSV). It may only have been a small step, but it was in the right direction.

If we can pick up these two (TSU tonight and Prairie View A&M on Monday) at home, we'll be in much better shape. We've got a lot of the better teams in the conference coming to our place in the second half. We've played well at home. We need to win these games this weekend and build on them.

If we're smart, we can take two out of three this weekend and put a little more pressure on Florida and Greenville.

If we have a key going into that game, we have to handle the pressure. We also told the kids we have to play defense. If they can't score, they don't get in the press. We have to really concentrate defensively and on taking care of the ball. Hopefully, we can come out this weekend and get on a run and surprise some people.

If we had done this 20 games ago, we wouldn't be in this predicament. This was a heck of a weekend and these guys deserve a lot of credit. They're sticking together like glue. Mess with one, mess with all of them.

If we play well this weekend and achieve some of the things that I'd like us to be able to achieve in terms of passing, blocking and those sorts of things, then we'll be on our way to being able to handle our Conference USA opponents.

If they can get through their normal-type games, going deep into the game, we'll be able to handle the weekend with the people we have right here.

Last year's competition proved that there are some fantastic fiddle players in Wales and something we should be more aware of. Traditional music is a part of our heritage and this weekend will help to preserve and develop it for everyone's future.

Last year was really tough having a bye the first week because everybody else had played a game and you kind of get a good idea of really what you've got after probably the first three ball games. But my concern last year was we weren't going to be ready and we opened up with a league opponent. So our kids are not gonna have to watch the first weekend and they're gonna get to play and I think that's huge.

We made a lot of mental mistakes. But we showed what we are capable of doing tonight. We got close in a lot of games in the Grayslake Tournament this past weekend but we couldn't find a way to finish. Hopefully we changed that tonight.

There are major problems with the terms and we have given them until this weekend to respond.

The plan is to do one business every weekend in time for next spring when everything will be blooming. This is going to be an ongoing project and we can watch it grow as it moves down the street.

We're seeing volume but no volatility in prices. And I think that just shows you that a lot of people are away and people are not making major moves. But next week, when everyone comes back from the Labor Day weekend it tends to be a big week and they really put the foot to accelerator and go, go, go.

Lower stocks overseas, news over the weekend about the war effort that is less optimistic than a few weeks ago, Argentina could have a domino effect, and in general none of the economic numbers give any optimism for a quick bounce back.

Mills is recovering from his groin strain but does not have enough recent cricket to be considered for section. He will be returning to club cricket this weekend before the team for the remainder of the one-day series is announced.

Molly's really someone that's in control. She does a great job as far as setting our offense, getting our sets. But again, (she) is somebody who's very skilled and Molly's done a great job of getting the ball to the basket, making tough shots. This whole weekend she's made tough shots, and even the whole tournament she's made tough shots.

Monday is like the worst day of all time. You party all weekend and then reality hits. Gotta go back to work. The only good thing about the whole day is 'Monday Night Football.' If you can't look forward to that, what else is there?

Since it's outdoors the times aren't going to be that impressive, but the races will be. Our goal for this weekend is just to go and race well.

Six games in two days. I'm proud of the team. We played outstanding defense and it was a great weekend for us.

Missouri is a very well coached team and deserving of their ranking. They have an experienced team, returning many of their top lettermen from last season. In 2005, they were one catch away from a Super Regional, so this weekend will be a great test for our guys.

Most people have planned this weekend in advance, they've planned all spring for it. So the fact that they're going to have to spend a little more is not going to derail their plans.

Moving the LSU game to Sept. 16 allowed us to accomplish two goals. First, we are able to avoid playing five consecutive conference games in the middle of the schedule. Secondly, it allowed us to have our first SEC home game in September instead of the first weekend in October.

Since we are playing three conference games a weekend and some mid-week games, we have to have the pitching depth we do. It's nice to have because you know when someone gets tired you'll have someone else to come in and always make something happen.

She moved the ball around nicely and let her opponent make the mistakes. This was a really good weekend for her. She got a lot of match experience.

She has been a pretty strong presence at the company for a long time, and was obviously a big driver in the launch of Weekend Edition. The fact that she's leaving by mutual agreement indicates that the board is becoming more active, and is willing to make tougher decisions.

She combined for twenty-some points this weekend and has been shooting very well from the field.

We had been quick all weekend and we had a big advantage on speed. The circuit was not bad physically, and I was able to just take it pretty easy.

Make sure you're putting yourself in a situation this weekend where the consequences are not going to come back and haunt you next week.

Mainly it would be a fun weekend but also a time where they can get serious and ask themselves questions about life and about their purpose and about how Jesus makes a difference to them.

Many consumers were driven to the stores last weekend by great sales on electronics and toys. Now that many of the most popular electronics are affordable for the average shopper, people are picking up DVD players and digital cameras as gifts, but also for themselves.

Many women are familiar with the Becoming an Outdoors-Woman programs offered in Michigan, and this special weekend will focus on winter activities in one of the most beautiful places for snow-related recreation in the Midwest.

She had another good outing. She's going to get plenty of work this weekend (in the CMSU Invitational), so it's good we didn't get to play hardly any games this week. But it was good to get her out there and let her throw five innings, and she had another good night.

She had a phenomenal weekend and I'm really excited to have her. She is the spark plug we needed. She competes and she just gets it done.

She had a very nice round. She's been very consistent in our two outings so far this season. She shot a 76 at the Alton tournament over the weekend and now a 36 in our first dual matches. She's on her game.

She would have loved some of the things I've done recently. She would have loved all my veggie shoes and she would have dug the Adidas thing. She'd have loved the perfume. It's a bummer. At the weekend I really wanted to call her, talk crap down the phone. I didn't have anything to say, just sort of babble. She was the classiest woman I know. And class? You can't buy class, you know?

Sean Doolittle absolutely set the tone for that game with his performance on the mound on just four days rest. He set the tone for the weekend and fortunately, Casey came in there in the ninth and we found a way to win at the end.

Seventy percent of our customers are weekend warriors who do their own work. The other 30 percent are contractors.

She used to play every weekend in pubs with Daddy, and she'd written all these Irish songs out in a book. They're songs we've loved over the years, and because our parents played them in their band, they're very special to us.

She willed us not just to win, but to play like this. Erika has meant everything to this team all weekend and all season long.

She spent the whole weekend out here practicing, ... I've never seen anyone practice as diligently. She's going at it and really focused, not missing a beat, getting ready for Samsung.

She's really had an outstanding stretch here lately. She has not only won a lot of matches, but last weekend against Nebraska, she beat the type of player that had been giving her problems.

I was a weekend drinker...I'd start on Saturday, end on Friday...thought I was controlling it...but I don't drink any more.

So at 16 I got a job at the local radio station. And I was working after school and weekends. I did the news; I did everything. I did - played records.

We won?t be sitting around all week thinking about it. We don?t have to wait over the weekend and wonder if we?re as bad as we looked.

We won't have him for this weekend but we could have him for next weekend. That'd be good.

I was an 80's/90's baby so you went to the movie theater every weekend and there was one on, whether it was Stallone, Van Damme, Seagal or Schwarzenegger himself.

What I was really overwhelmed with by Africa was its tremendous natural beauty; I got to go to some pretty amazing places. Every other weekend we got a day or two off and go on a safari or the natural wonders of Africa and if anyone gets the opportunity to go there, it's something you have to do in your lifetime.

I was also going to give a graduation speech in Arizona this weekend. But with my accent, I was afraid they would try to deport me.

To the newcomer to the south, hearing that a coworker plans a weekend visit to 'mama and them's' (the correct plural possessive, don'tchaknow), might make him think that mama has been left alone either throught an act of scoundreldom involving the town's resident hoochie-mama (an altogether different kind of mama) or Daddy's untimely demise.

One of the reasons my father ... became a dentist was so he could always be home for dinner and spend weekends with his family. At one point he had thought about being a musician, but he said, I'm not going to do that because I'd be on the road all the time and I wouldn't be with my family.

I have lived all over this country and in several foreign countries but I had never tried urban living. When we'd visit our daughter in Portland, we'd have so much fun on the weekends. We didn't have to get in the car to go to the fish market, the bakery, the coffee shop, the farmer's market. We'd walk all weekend and never have to get in a car. It was so much fun. I thought that since we're going to be staying in Staunton, this project was our chance to give urban living a try.

Kevin will not be available this weekend and we now know he will need a couple of weeks for his ankle to fully recover.

Key U.S. monthly jobs data, due later in the day, a three-day weekend and concerns that the Tokyo market has gone too far too fast are expected to encourage investors to take profits.

I yelled a few choice words under my helmet when the red flag came out. Fortunately, the team gave me a great bike for the restart and I was able to build my lead again. I have to admit I'm a little shocked at well this weekend went.

I would say you feel a lot more pressure at a national tournament than a state tournament. This is more of a fun weekend out with the guys. The national tournament is more business.

I would say there are several players coming off of last weekend that should be feeling confident. Confidence is a choice, and that's a matter of being able to block the distractions. Everybody has a poor performance. The better athletes know where to place that, learn from it and move on.

I would say this is a turning-point in our season we want to come in this weekend and show them we're a different team and that we've improved a lot since the last time we played them.

Haley is hitting a home run almost every game it seems like. Everyone else was producing this weekend too. I'm very pleased with the fact that different people are coming through at different times.

This was one of those things where Theo thought to himself that if we found ourselves in a 12-inning game at some point this weekend and a situation arises where we could use him and we didn't have him . . . he'd be kicking himself.

This was a great day for our pitching staff. They really worked together today. We got timely hitting today which was something we didn't get last weekend against Arkansas. We played hard today and that was nice to see going into our series with Florida because Louisville is very similar to them.

I come back home almost every weekend, or my wife comes up every other weekend to Vancouver. So, in that sense, we make it work. It's just a great city. It's a great country. They've been good to me, and I have no problems being up there.

I am so proud of these girls, they played great all weekend and I could not have asked for more. They did what they needed to do and played with their backs against the wall. I am just really, really proud of them.

I am really happy that we got through this weekend with two wins. It was important for us to keep any kind of NCAA (tournament) hopes alive and just to stay in the thick of the conference race.

I am so disappointed. We had such a positive start to the race. I managed to defend my position and make up six places in the early laps. I made a mistake and spun. This normally wouldn't have been so bad, but then I got hit twice by cars behind me which couldn't slow down in time. I am so sorry for the CITGO Racing Team. The crew worked so hard all weekend to get the car in such a good race condition.

I am really hoping for a trouble-free weekend as the car feels good and I feel I can get some good results in it.

I am really looking forward to being on the show. It will be awesome joining Kenny and Michael on Monday night. I hope we have a great weekend in Texas, so it will give me even more to talk about on Monday night.

I can't remember when we've had a sweep like this before. This is really a great weekend to be able to have three of our different drivers win all three races.

I can't express my appreciation enough to all of the people who made a tremendous effort so that our audiences would still have the first opportunity to see this splendidly staged musical version of the Louisa May Alcott classic. I hope our patrons affected by this delayed opening will take the opportunity to attend one of the weekend performances, and understand the extraordinary circumstances that have allowed this to happen.

I can't help thinking that if the American West were discovered today, the most glorious bits would be sold off to the highest bidder. Yosemite might be nothing but weekend homes for Internet tycoons.

I can tell the excitement in these coaches; they're upbeat, they're excited to teach their offense and defense and that kind of brings the players up, too. Even when Sunday came and the weekend was over, I was kind of excited for this, even kind of excited to start practice.

I can't say there was. Michael took his time and met with all the teams last week. He took the weekend to sort of sit back and evaluate everything. He narrowed it down and just decided San Antonio was the best fit for him.

Friday (today) and the weekend will tell us what will happen,

Friday was just filled with anger, not so much sadness. As the weekend went on, it just got sadder and tougher.

From this point on, and you can talk about taking one game at a time, but you can't hide from the fact that every weekend game we play carries added significance because they are league games. If we keep doing what we have been doing, we'll be OK.

From Thursday through Monday, SPEED Channel takes the NASCAR fan through the entire race weekend in a very traditional way,

Getting four wins in a row, winning the Bud Shootout, all the other stuff, it starts to blow you away, ... It was an unbelievable weekend for Schumacher Racing.

Getting these two schools to come to agree on coming to an independent site is really big. It was difficult, but in the end the reward will be a really good day, a good weekend for downtown Baltimore.
