November 18, 2010 at 5:31AM

THE BUZZ Ron Gardenhire won AL Manager of the Year for the first time after five runner-up finishes. If only his team could have a similar breakthrough in the playoffs.

REMOTE PATROL Hope you like men's college hoops because that's what you're getting this week. Maryland vs. Pittsburgh (6 p.m.); Illinois vs. Texas (8 p.m.), ESPN2.

Click pick White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen posted this exact tweet for Gardy: "Finnaly gardy get what he is great job gardy great job buddy." Garbled, but nice!

STAR GAZING Tiger Woods is getting active on Twitter and wrote a first-person op-ed post published Wednesday by Newsweek. That is not the Tiger we know.

FAST FACT All 11 of TE Visanthe Shiancoe's touchdown catches last year were shorter than 20 yards. He has just two TDs this year -- of 20 yards and 25 yards.
