I had to go out and give my team a chance. I didn't want to be remembered as the guy blowing the World Series.
A linguistic system is a series of differences of sound combined with a series of differences of ideas.
That's our goal every year, to win the World Series, like it is at most places. In L.A., it really is.
I got the chance to do things that I dreamed of when I was a kid: I got to travel around the world; I had my own 'Goosebumps' attraction at Disney World; I've been on TV and had three TV series.
We have in our head something called story grammar. We see the world as a series of episodes rather than logical propositions... In our serious society, storytelling is seen as being soft. But people process the world through story.
I stated that I'm a libertarian Republican, which means I believe in a series of issues, such as smaller government, constraint on budget deficits, free markets, globalization, and a whole series of other things, including welfare reform.
The history of the world shows that peoples and societies do not have to pass through a fixed series of stages in the course of development.
I want to win a World Series. I've come in second, both in college and in the big leagues. I'm tired of it.
Series television is either a nightmare or the best thing in the whole world. It really depends on, I think, where you are in your life.
If the World Series was on the line and I could pick one pitcher to pitch the game, I'd choose Whitey Ford every time.
When we talk, answer questions, I'm addressing your tonal. I'm teaching you a way or a series of ways of dealing with the world.
By far, the best moment of my big league career was when I caught the last out at the World Series.
The images I like best are parts of series that I've started, in some cases, with the pregnancies of the mothers of the children in question, and I continue that series right on through the birth of children to the child that resulted from that first pregnancy.
I don't know about young Thor and King Thor getting their own series someday, although it would be nice if I could write three Thor series at the same time.
To play meaningful games and try and win a division, a pennant, a World Series, that's what it's all about. That's the thing I'm most proud of.
Every year you go in and you obviously want to win a World Series, at least make the playoffs.
It's huge. You win the first game of the series, you want to win the series.
'Downton' is one of the best jobs in the world, and I'm looking forward to the next series for Maggie Smith's wicked sense of humour.
Now, they hold the World Cup every year, so it's like any Super Series. It's boring. To me, it's very boring. I think the players will always attend the World Cup. But for the fans, and also for most players, the Olympics and Asian Games will become more important. Nobody will look forward to the World Cup with anticipation.
Until spring training in 1946, the only time I pitched was in 1945 in the GI World Series.
Getting to be in Chicago when the Cubs won the World Series was one of the most magical experiences I think I've ever had in a city.
In elementary school, I loved the 'Bailey School Kids' series. It was about a group of classmates who would speculate whether adults in their lives were supernatural beings. I read literally every single book in the series.
First of all, you look at Rocky films now, and if that isn't a cartoon series there isn't any cartoon series. I mean there's no way anybody is going to take that amount of punishment in fifteen rounds.
I think we're tremendously different than the series, if they were to tune in to the series after seeing the movie they might be disappointed. That there was, you know, that they might have some kind of adverse reaction.
The '50 Shades' series is a Cinderella story, where the characters seemingly have no flaws. The 'Crossfire' series is very different in that these two characters are almost mirror images of each other.
I want to win when the whole world is watching, ... I want to win a World Series in an Angels uniform.
Nobody does anything better than me in baseball (said before the 1971 World Series).
I'd love to have a chance to fight in the World Series Boxing for women, but nothing has been done about that.
What we call powers, secrets of nature, and force, are all within. In the external world are only a series of changes.
I don't usually watch a lot of TV, but Mad Men changed my perspective. I admire Matthew Weiner who came up with the idea and wrote such a great TV series, and the broadcasting company for being bold enough to air such a series.
When we played, World Series checks meant something. Now all they do is screw up your taxes.
My manager called me and said, 'Hey, there's a series at Neflix.' I'm like, 'Netflix? Oh, boy.' At that time, it was just a strange thing to hear. It's like going, 'There's a series at Blockbuster.'
Obviously, the World Series run in 2010, that's something you can only dream of as a kid, so to have it actually happen is just unbelievable.
I'm probably always guilty for rooting for a long series. Not either side - I don't really care who wins the game, but it makes for more compelling TV the more games you go deeper into a series.
Every show on television has a downward trend because there are so many more things to watch. You can only deal with what is the benchmark of a hit series and 'Survivor' clearly remains a hit series.
In the military, and in business, the most elite and effective teams I've seen or been part of are filled with individuals who take responsibility for their choices. Life is a series of decisions that you make and actions you take, not a series of things that happen to you.
I feel that if I absolve myself and say it was the Astros' fault I was bad in Game 7, in the World Series, I can't develop as a person.
'Monsters of God' isn't just a series close to my heart; it is my heart, and I am very much looking forward to working with my fantastic team in New Mexico to create a top-notch series.
I'd like to get to the last game of the World Series at Wrigley Field and hit three homers. That was what I always wanted to do.
When I first starting conceiving series like 'Courtney,' 'Polly,' 'How Loathsome,' etc., I was shooting for closed story-arcs but open-ended concepts. Then I started realizing I was committing myself to potentially endless series.
When I was in the middle of the 'Scott Pilgrim' series, and it was slowly becoming more popular, though still not financially solvent, I had this real bratty instinct to turn around and do something super arty and dark. I felt dismissed by comics culture, stuck in between the artcomix world and the nerdcomix world, and I was cranky about it.
I don't usually watch a lot of TV, but 'Mad Men' changed my perspective. I admire Matthew Weiner who came up with the idea and wrote such a great TV series, and the broadcasting company for being bold enough to air such a series.
I'll be in a series for three or four episodes, but then I'll be off the series, and downtime, as an actor, is a little more than most people understand. Most of the time you're just sitting around taking coffee with friends.
My favourite books series as a young child was the Frank L. Baum 'Wizard of Oz' series. They were beautifully written, oversized fat books with wonderful type and illustrations.
I think a series risks straying into self-parody if you get into a fourth series... sometimes even if you get into a third, because the audience knows how it's going to go.
I had never worked in television before Freaks and Geeks, and New Girl is the first time since that Ive worked on a series that is actually a series and not just a pilot.
The next series of 'Mr Selfridge' has moved on five years. It's 1914 now, and the war is brewing. Halfway through the series, some of the Selfridges staff have to go off to fight, so they get women in to do the men's jobs.
It didn't happen, but I feel fortunate for the two chances we had and it's just a shame we didn't go to a World Series for Cub fans.
My dad had a series of heart attacks when I was a little girl, and our world was shaped by these huge, traumatic events.
I did the commercials for Gillette during the World Series and at one point I had 27 different beer contracts.
I definitely want to be in a place where I can win long-term and be a part of World Series teams for many years to come.
I've read the whole 'Divergent' series, the 'Pretty' series. I just read it because I find this stuff interesting to read.
I like that the 'Underworld' series created a whole other world that's totally different yet familiar to our own.
That's a discovery process. That's the terrifying and wonderful part about getting picked up to series. You get to develop the stories and talk about the characters, and find out where the heart of the series is.
World series attitude, champagne bottle life, nothing ever changes so tonight is like tomorrow night.
If you'll think about various series you've read, can you think of any instance in which, say, the tenth volume of the series is notably better than the first nine? I can't.
Exploring an ever-expanding world of diverse cultures and beliefs is at the very heart of the 'Dragonships' series.
I've always written towards movies that take place across two worlds. Most of the movies that I've worked on take place in two worlds, or sometimes three worlds, where you have a normal world and a fantasy world that mix and overlap. I never shy away from the series stuff in the real world. Big Fish is about mortality.
A linguistic system is a series of differences of sound combined with a series of differences of ideas...
When I first created the world of 'Mr. Robot,' I thought it would be a niche television series with a small, cult following.
