"There's one happy camp at the end of the year, and we (the 2005 Texas Rangers) ain't it. I'm as motivated as I have ever been. What drives you is you don't want to have this emotion next year. We didn't get where we needed to get." - Texas Rangers Manager Buck Showalter on MLB.com (Jesse Sanchez, 10/02/2005)
