-"Because of our roster, I can't really afford to take Goody [PCM: GUESS WHO?] out of the game. There wouldn't be another infielder on the bench."
-"You've got to be careful when you do these things. I've thought this through. I want to get Goody some swings and I want to get Reyes some swings."

Like my dad said---some things never change.....
Why did Detroit hire him again?

Wonder when the Detroit fans will start laughing at his getaway day lineups?

Who has the list?
1. Getaway day lineups
2. 3 catchers
3. Turning red when dugout gets warned w/o throwing at a hitter
4. Rick Anderson and Vavra
5. Doesn't like power at SS or 2nd
6. Won't use closer before 9th inning

Lack of any kind of offense at all is what did us in during the playoffs. After getting through in 2002 in all other playoff games to follow we averaged just over two runs a game.
This was on Gardy more than anyone. The asshole would play for one run early in the game, bunting guys over, etc....then, like you say, no bats on the bench. All the pressure was on a few guys to carry the offense

--Gardy recently in Detroit

Why was I watching You Tube videos of this idiot?

Typical Gardenhire talk. Not a damn thing about offense.
This guy has some demented aversion to acknowledging the importance of HITTING.....HITTING....HITTING!!!!!
I want to scream those words in his face.

And was I ever happy for Hicks last night. I never liked the guy and in fact now DESPISE him (seeing him in pinstripes makes me ill) I was borderline hysterical watching his headfirst slide into home on that inside the park home run. The best part of it all is I literally had just arrived at one of my local watering holes as that happened. It was on the TV screen. I actually chatted up a Yankee fan who moved here from the Bronx. I was able to text a group of Twins fans I know just to show this guy how much everyone was going to love to hear the news. My friends did not disappoint. EVERYONE in the group took some glee in knowing Hicks did that in Detroit right in Gardy's face!

I always though he had the ability. If he stays healthy he can be a very productive player.

10 strikeouts, and they're in the 5th

and Syndergaard is already pushing 90 pitches.

My son in law, a lineman for Xcel, just got back from 3 weeks of storm duty in PR. We should have used PR as a test site for delocalozed grid using solar energy but some in power award electrical contract to a two horse company in Montana and others didn't know PR was a US territory that was an island surrounded by water.
