"I should have named my kid, 'Tidewater'". - after learning that Chipper Jones named his son "Shea" because he hits so well in New York

Don't exactly know how I feel about this

I might sleep on it.

"(Expletive)" - when asked by a reporter his thoughts on the Tigers signing Prince Fielder

Last night I saw Ron Gardenhire bring in a right-handed pitcher....

....to face right-handed hitter, Ryan Raburn.

How cute!

Ron, it don't matter! He's batting .163!

The bullpen catcher could've handled it!

"When you walk into my office and tell me you don't like your role, and he talked about his contract for next year, you lose me right there. I don't deal with that. We're talking about winning now. That's why he's out the door and another guy's in there to pitch." - Twins manager, Ron Gardenhire after Ayala's release in 2009

"You can tweet that. Just tweet it. You don't even have to write it. Just fire it through the internet."

Fast forward to tomorrow

Diggin' the Rapture.....very much!*

*I know I am going to make sure to take one last glorious look at my collection before I go to bed tonight. But that's just me.

Every time that Gardenhire starts complaining....

....about the things I said about the Twins on Baseball Tonight, I just slip these glasses on and play the deaf mute.

Don't know much about math but....

"I'm not a math guy, but I believe that tomorrow is a must-win situation," says Minnesota Twins manager, Ron Gardenhire who's team is three games behind the Tigers with four to play.

You don't have to be a math major to manage in the major leagues. You don't need to know calculus, trigonometry or even algebra.

You do however need to know some very basic math and I think Gardenhire knows enough to get by.*

*At this point, it's just addition and subtraction so let's not go crazy and give him too much credit here.
