Carlos Guillen comments on Jim Leyland's crazy (ahem...unorthodox) lineups


Carlos Guillen per Jason Beck at mlb.com: "How is the offense going to be consistent when you see one guy get three hits and the next day, you don't play the guy? I can't understand that. How is the offense going to be consistent when every day it's a different lineup?"

This is appendicitis-inducing funny because it is so true. If you hit three home runs or god forbid hit for the cycle, you are surely sitting the next day. Get used to it.

You could offer Jim Leyland a trailer full of smokes and he still wouldn't change.

Can't wait to see Adam Everett batting clean up in random games next year because the manager "felt like it".*

*It's not like he's managing with a bottle of bourbon between his legs. (Well, hold now maybe....)
