Political Quotes

On the recordJune 29, 2012
As some of you who actually went to the game noticed, at about the fourth inning, Pete Sessions, our first base coach, and Tim Scott, one of our pitchers, who are both on the Rules Committee, had to leave to go back to Rules. Now, there's no truth to the rumor that I had asked for an emergency rule asking Cedric Richmond be declared ineligible for that game. There is no truth to that rumor. Our guys played well. Our MVP, Pat Meehan of Pennsylvania, pitched in relief real well. John Shimkus got two hits. Jeff Flake got a double and knocked in two runs. Sam Graves stole several bases and played very well out in the field. So as my 6-year-old son Jack also said, Mr. Doyle, enjoy it while you can because it won't last forever; you can't win every game. But congratulations, and a job well done on both sides.
