That's the plan. It's worked before between Pedro and Schilling and myself. You'd have to ask hitters if it really makes a difference, but I think if you get in a three-game series with Schilling, myself and (Josh) Beckett, that kind of contrast, I think chances are pretty good if we all have our 'A' games that day. (Quote by - Tim Wakefield)

In contrast, if he gets a shock from the device -- and this device can deliver the shock much like you see on (the television show) 'ER' or something with paddles on the chest, the device does it from inside the heart -- then that is something that he will feel, and patients describe it anywhere from a giant hiccup to a mule kick in the chest.

(Quote by - Bill McCartney)

The Democrats won't do themselves any favors if they give Roberts a free pass. They have to put down some markers, contrast their beliefs with Roberts' beliefs, demonstrate where they stand, and frame the debate over the long-term direction of the court. (Quote by - David Greenberg)

I hate Science. It denies a man's responsibility for his own deeds, abolishes the brotherhood that springs from God's fatherhood. It is a hectoring, dictating expertise, which makes the least lovable of the Church Fathers seem liberal by contrast. (Quote by - Basil Bunting)

In contrast to revenge, which is the natural, automatic reaction to transgression and which, because of the irreversibility of the action process can be expected and even calculated, the act of forgiving can never be predicted; it is the only reaction that acts in an unexpected way and thus retains, though being a reaction, something of the original character of action. (Quote by - Hannah Arendt)

We offer a stark contrast to the bland escapism that chokes the charts. (Quote by - Tom Morello)
