Mostly Real Quotes
Some people said some stuff. But which one of these quotes belongs on Whose Line Is It Anyway where everything is made up? And like the rest of this season for the Diamondbacks, the points don't matter.

"I could have told you that." - Ivana Trump on The Dons non-existent toupe
"It just seemed like he was a little over amped, trying too hard. He was flying open, mechanically, and just wasn't finding the zone." - Chip Hale on RDLR
