I couldn't ask for anything better on my birthday than having the cup in my hands. It was a fantastic weekend and a wonderful team effort.

Having a holiday weekend without a family member felt like putting on a sweater that had an extra arm.

The American male at the peak of his physical powers and appetites, driving 160 big white horses across the scenes of an increasingly open society, with weekend money in his pocket and with little prior exposure to trouble and tragedy, personifies an accident going to happen.

Relative calm is expected in South Central Los Angeles for the next several weeks, as looters stay home and try to program their new VCRs.

One should always be wary of anyone who promises that their love will last longer than a weekend.

The lounge of the main hotel is full of jollity, with large comfortable men sitting in braces; the bar is packed with talkative intellectuals, full of witty disloyalties. The next week the main hotel is suddenly full of dinner-jackets and large hats. The girls are dressed as if for a weekend in the country. When one of the great men of the party comes through, the crowd edges respectfully away, murmuring loyal noises.

I think for Chris to get within 0.6 of a second of pole is a great achievement, given what we have gone through this weekend so far. His position doesn't quite reflect what might have been as he had to deal with traffic on his fastest lap. Unfortunately, in race trim the gap between us and the faster runners - in terms of consistency - will be greater than it was in qualifying. This is down to a number of reasons that the team can't fix here at the track.

If all the cars in the United States were placed end to end, it would probably be Labor Day Weekend.

The rhythm of the weekend, with its birth, its planned gaieties, and its announced end, followed the rhythm of life and was a substitute for it.

We got ourselves into a little bit of a hole in Daytona but I have no doubt that this team will turn it around this weekend. We're taking a car that's already been to victory lane and we think it's going to perform even better this season. Here it's a whole different skill level and handling package and stuff. It takes probably a different skill set or different category of skills at Daytona -- where you position your car or how the air is and how fast your car is, so it's just a lot different.

We need a strong run to rebuild the momentum we have lost in the last few weeks, ... A win this weekend would be a great rebound from the points we lost last week and a victory in Ford's backyard is always something we want.

It is so comfortable when you play at home. You have your own locker room and your own routine. It's tough to play on the road. You win on the road with good pitching, a good starting pitching performance. That is what we did not get last weekend in two out of three games. That's the difference. It allows our young kids to relax a little bit and just play.

I am finally healthy, I can honestly say that now, ... My shoulder's not bothering me. So now I'm not walking around with a scowl on my face like I've been for the past month or so. I'm happy and excited about this weekend, and may the best team win.

And so a lot of people say there's too much personal freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it. That's what we did in the announcement I made last weekend on the public housing projects, about how we're going to have a weapons sweep and more things like that to try to make people safer in their communities.

A weekend in Vegas without gambling and drinking is just like being a born-again Christian.

Give a man a fish and he has food for a day; teach him how to fish and you can get rid of him of the entire weekend.

Our great-grandfathers called it the Holy Sabbath. Our grandfathers called it the Sabbath. Our fathers called it Sunday. And now, we just call it the weekend.
|
The past week our bullpen threw a lot, especially with the doubleheaders in the (Rainbow) tournament, and we have five games this weekend, so I figure if I can finish the game off, I can give 'em a little rest so they can go out and get the next four games.

One non-revolutionary weekend is infinitely more bloody than a month of permanent revolution.
