"From the very beginning (of the season for the 2005 Chicago Cubs), it was like putting your finger in the dike. There was always a leak or a hole. As soon as you get one guy back, something else would happen, then you'd get another guy back. It makes you wonder what the heck is going on. When will it end?" - Chicago Cubs Manager Dusty Baker on MLB.com (Carrie Muskat, 10/02/2005)
