"Not only do we (the 2006 Oakland Athletics) play good defense, we play really good defense when we need to, in big situations. And obviously you have to pitch well to win. We caught the ball and pitched well. If you do two of the three -- hitting being the third -- you're going to be a pretty good team." - Oakland Athletics General Manager Billy Beane on MLB.com (Mychael Urban, 10/01/2006)
