I had the clutch pedal depressed, but the car slowly started to creep forward and the engine stalled. So another mechanical problem took us from a race that I feel we had the car to win. We just cannot continue to have these things happen.
- Dario FranchittiSame old Pedro he`s been the last couple of years. He keeps you off balance. We had our chances, we just couldn`t get any clutch hits.
- Marcus Giles(Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes are on a mission to end their Manchester United careers in a blaze of glory. And they believe Sir Alex Ferguson`s latest clutch of talented kids will help them to do just that. Giggs said:) It has always been a priority of Sir Alex to bring youngsters through, and local lads wherever possible. In recent years, starting with Wes Brown, then John O`Shea and Darren Fletcher, we`ve had a lad come through every couple of years. Bardsley and Richardson will expect to make the step up now. ... Rooney and Ronaldo are already great players, doing the job every week, but we have the likes of Bardsley and Giuseppe Rossi coming through. Just as we did, these lads are loving being a part of the first-team scene.
- Paul Scholes(After changing virtually) everything but the wiring, ... The last two things we changed were the coil and the clutch switch.
- Terry AdamsOne of my biggest problems this season was with the clutch at the start of the race. I hate to risk the car.
- Alain ProstI think their team was designed for clutch-and-grab, tight defence and good goaltending. I don`t think Paul Kariya will be the answer by scoring enough goals to make a difference. In 2004, they made the playoffs for the first time and a lot of it was their goaltender. Can he be as good night after night after night? I don`t think so.
- John GarrettWe have to find a go-to guy. Our guys play hard, but we need to find somebody we can count on in the clutch. We don`t have any stars, so somebody has to step it up.
- Joe ColemanMy body felt extremely tired, ... I`ve got five or six gears in me, but I was crunching to get into second without a clutch. It was a tough day.
- Grant HackettWhenever a clutch shot was needed, Joe was there to take it.
- John RiceI thought Shawn was going to be nervous and scared, but he never was. He`s been really clutch so far.
- Justin SmithThat was a clutch putt. I didn`t want to make double there.
- Vaughn TaylorThe fear of burglars is not only the fear of being robbed, but also the fear of a sudden and unexpected clutch out of the darkness.
- Alberto LozanoIs advertising a profession, like law or medicine? How many new parents clutch their baby to their breast and declare, `I want this child to grow up to be a media planner`?
- Ali KhanThe same things we`ve done the past couple of seasons. We`ve worked on the engine and clutch. We`ll try and pick up the performance and consistency of the car and go back out there.
- Allison DuncanGoing into today I didn`t know what to expect. With the rain, we had no games or practice. We made the routine plays and got a couple of clutch hits.
- Anthony LongstreetMy first thought was I`m glad it wasn`t me out there, ... It was intense. They kept making putt on top of putt, and they were clutch. It made me realize how great those guys really are, to realize their whole team and country were riding on their back, and they were able to stand up to it.
- Arun BatraHis defense made up for his hitting early in the season, ... We built this team on pitching and defense and Joe is a big part of that. Joe had some big clutch hits this season. He always brings his defense with him to the ball field.
- Augusto BalinzanoYou can clutch the past so tightly to your chest that it leaves your arms too full to embrace the present.
