"We (the 2005 Chicago White Sox) are the Cinderella of the playoffs. It's a great feeling when they don't pick you and all of a sudden you make it. But don't change a thing -- just play White Sox baseball. You don't win [99] games just because." - Chicago White Sox Manager Ozzie Guillen on MLB.com (Scott Merkin, 10/02/2005)
