When the writing sucks
And the readers are in pain
I use the block quote
As denoted by the above haiku, today is a day for the words of others. (I actually use most of these words myself, the authors have just put them in a unique order. The next time someone asks you to use your own words, show them up and invent your own language.) We begin!

Texas Rangers CEO Chuck Greenberg could not convince Cliff Lee to re-sign with his team, but he thinks the organization ultimately kept the lefty ace from signing with the Yankees.
"Even though Philadelphia was probably not in, they were always in the back of our mind. I think if we wouldn't have gone to Arkansas that last time, I think he was going to sign with the Yankees. We pried the door open a little bit to give ourselves another opportunity. And ultimately the Phillies were able to take advantage of that opportunity that we created."
We have no clue what we're talking about. None.
