Interview with the manager after the ballgame:

On getting an asskicking, a final score of 5-3 in favor of the third-place Twins, who were up three-zip after 2

It's happened so infrequently this season that I'd almost forgotten how easily it elicits a display of frustration. Makes you want to unleash some Satanical chant..."111111-one-1111111111-one-11111" to get it out of your system.

On the losing pitcher, right-hander Mike Nannini (5-3), who needed 100 pitches to just barely eke out a five-inning start

Nannini's stuff just wasn't dancing today like it usually is. I patted 'im on the butt just before and said he must've forgot the Viagra today. The kid laughed, so I think we'll keep 'im for a few more starts.

On winning pitcher Ben Sheets (11-5), who allowed three runs (none earned) in eight innings

Sure, the boy's fastball was hopping and we couldn't touch his curve, but you have to remember this is a guy who's gone six starts without allowing a walk, and our guys walked twice. Kid's fanned a dozen on more than one occasion, and we only had 6 K's today. We're gettin' around to him. Just wait 'til he comes to town on December 19th.

On the losing side's three-run sixth inning rally that fell short when Frank Catalanotto bounced to third base to end the inning

I'm always telling Frank that he shouldn't be hitting the ball where the fielders are. Don't know why that boy don't listen.

On tology

I Kant explain it, but I know it when I see it.

On the organization standing pat as the trade deadline approached and then passed by

We've picked up some All-Star players already in Wells and Podsednik and some other seasoned pros. This is the ballclub we're going to win with.

Quite a proclamation there. I hope this guy knows what he's talking about.
