They've won a lot of games in a lot of different ways. Buzzer-beaters, last-second shots. We've had our chances, we just haven't been able to get over the hump the last few years.

Well, we're still alive and that's the important thing, the games mean something. It's not like you just throw it out there and you don't care whether you win or lose.
He's way ahead of somebody who's played 1 12 games, but he's not where somebody who's played 15 games would be he's probably somewhere in the middle. I think it's a credit to the mental approach that he's taken, the approach that he took when he was hurt. And before he got hurt, (he was) working in the off-season to really learn the offense as much as you can without doing it.
We're going to have to win multiple games, that's for sure. You have to win a couple of games to get people's attention and get on the board.
When I was a kid, they had six hockey teams, they had eight to 10 basketball teams. The teams played each other once, twice a week. Maybe we should stack (the schedule) a little in terms of conference games.
You should win those games. Right now we are a little short. We've lost games weirdly.
We've been talking about taking it one game at a time and surviving. But there's a reason we've won 24 games, because we feel like we can guard anybody we play.
In three of our four games, we have faced defences that have done things that are a little bit out of the norm. Maybe a little bit more exotic then you would expect, and that was Philadelphia and Buffalo and yesterday against Minnesota. They are not your typical line-up-in-four, get-in-the-shade and play defence.
Tom has had the stitches taken out of his foot injury and I am hopeful that he and Greg Blundell (ankle) will be fit for the trip. We are just lacking a bit of confidence at the moment and we need to be tighter defensively at the beginning of games.
Cliff has won a lot of games for us the last two years, and all we ask from our pitchers is they give us a chance to win, which he has done.
Jess has improved a great deal and she's had some really good games.
I feel like we're over the hump now. Some of these top 10 teams like Silver Creek, Berthoud, Longmont -- we've played them all and have been in a position to win in the fourth quarter in every one of those games, and we finally got the job done. We had an incredible third quarter.
We want to see him get going before we hit the meat of the schedule, but on the other hand we don't want him to get hurt worse and miss two or three games.
You've got to believe that you're a good club. It wasn't easy. There's some games that were tough. But they've hung in there and hopefully we can keep it going.
It will be a learning curve for him. I know the first few games are very important,
The last couple of games, he has been tested and done extremely well.
He does have a little bit to learn about pitching, learning about hitters, situations in games, things like that. That will come. Anybody at the age of 19 is going to be in that same situation. The things that he has that the average 19-year-old, sometimes 25-year-old guys don't have. And that's what's going to carry him.
Every little thing you can do wrong, we did it. That's how you lose games.
It's a great feeling but at the same time we realize we're not done until we win two more games. We're very happy but we can't be satisfied.
I was very impressed with what took place today all over. It takes a toll on you, but not really as bad if you lost both of these games.
Realistically, I've only been skating for five years. I know if I do choose to go for another Games, I'll physiologically still be in my prime as a female athlete. It's a matter of what I want to do.
This lineup tonight could be symbolic of what it might take down the road here and in the playoffs. We hope the team understands the value of that and works harder to play that way than maybe they have the last half dozen games.
We had to do it because of Commonwealth Games and spread the games out over a couple of days - we have a couple more throughout the year so we will see how they go.
It's three games. We may self-implode. We don't know what's going to happen. As of right now, we're going out there and throwing strikes. When you get hurt is when you walk people. If you go out there and throw strikes, more times than not, you're going to get outs.
Every game is a must-win for us right now. Every game is huge and every win is huge. Certainly when you close the gap on a team that you're chasing, that's what we're here for. But all these games are must-win for us now.
Very similar. But this one was more of (us) having a big lead. The other games were closer at the half.
I picked up a lot of games in the standings. To go to a team that's only a couple of games out in the division and leading the wild card, that's great.
All my games were political games; I was, like Joan of Arc, perpetually being burned at the stake.
There's no specific play that lost the game. Any time you lose and you lose in the dramatic way like we lost, and we had an opportunity to win, you're frustrated about just losing, period. It's hard enough to win a game in the NFL every Sunday, but the games you feel like you should definitely win, it just leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
Our running backs really took care of the football (with only one Bulldog fumble). We've turned the ball over a lot in bad weather games, as have opposing teams (this season). We took care of business in that regard, and Ronan didn't.
Part of it is, you look at who's playing goal now. I think their problems have stemmed . . . Theodore's had a tough time. Everybody realizes he is a heck of a goalie, but he has struggled. It starts there. If you're not getting key saves or if you're not just getting the saves that allow you to win hockey games, it makes it tough on the team.
During fall camp, Fran came to me and told me he wanted me to play fullback, ... I said, 'Sure, Fran, I'll do it.' Basil had a couple good games, and when they did move me back to tailback, there was no way I was going to be the starter because he'd been playing so well.
We had key players missing in most of those games. Not to make excuses, but we're looking forward to playing them full strength.
I know I'm a free agent and having a good summer, but I'm still trying to figure out what I can contribute to this team to make up six games, ... Everyone knows this is where I want to come back to, but I don't want to think or talk about it until I get to that glitch in the matrix.
We want to get him some games. We want to play with some weight and he's a big, strong kid.
They're also a very tough basketball team. They have some great inside players and a very good perimeter game. So we'll just execute the game plan as we've done these past couple of games.
We did a nice job working together up front. Defensively, we're pretty solid and we're getting better reading offenses and picking things up as the games go along.
Things are changing, but it's exciting, ... When they changed the rules, they were looking for ways to allow teams to come back who were down in games.
The great thing about Nintendo's games is they're very short, and it takes someone like my son no time to get the thing going.
We're all so evenly matched, it just depends on which teams show up that night. The last time we played Mason we had 50 unforced errors, so we basically gave them two games.
We played today exactly like we practiced yesterday and we can't get away with playing at anything other than the top of our game the next three games. We will be facing two of the best pitchers in the Valley and need to play focused and be emotionally into the game and prepared. When we play focused and disciplined, we can beat anyone.
They tried to clarify the standard that's going to be in place. There could be 25, 30 power plays initially in games. But players are pretty smart and they'll adapt quickly. There'll be a constant reinforcement from the coaches to the players.
This is a very good team. I hope they win a bunch of games and I think they'll contend for the title in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Well, Bauer is what we like to call in the coaching ranks the whole package. She loves to go to school here and loves to play hockey, and she is very good at both. Bauer is a leader on and off the ice and she comes prepared for practice and games, and it shows on the ice.
I remind them of a few games that got away from us and the mistakes we made in those games. I remind them of the three years we worked to get to this point and the sacrifices they made over the summers and everything the team and the community did for us and we don't want to have brain freezes once we get out there. They have never backed down from a challenge since I've been there.
A lot of things have to go our way, but we can't think about that. We have to worry about what we can control and that's the games we play from here on out.
We made some mistakes that we had not made in the first five games. That contributed to the situation. We knew anything could happen the other night at Springdale because we've got several guys without much varsity experience on the AAAAA level. But I think we learned from it and we'll be fine.
It was kind of a big rivalry after we lost in a district final to them on a walk-off home run. Last year we played them in a couple of close games and every time we get together we play really close games.
Mature themes and sexual content in games is huge. The adult game market is taking off like a rocket
We made two errors at the worst possible time that we could have. We probably would have gotten out of the inning if we held the ball. We didn't think real well when the situation came up. The way we're losing some of these games is awfully discouraging.
