Got a zinger during Ron Gardenhire's pre-game presser.
``Joe is sore," Gardenhire said. ``He's a little sore.Give him another day here."
Um, can you specify the soreness?
``No, he's sore," Gardenhire said. ``You don't need to know any more than that. He's sore. It doesn't matter where or when or how. He's sore and we're not going to catch him."
Will he sit out just tonight?
``We will reevaluate him tomorrow," Gardenhire said. ``But he is sore today and we're not going to mess with him."
Can he pinch hit?
``He's sore," Gardenhire repeated, ``and I'll reevaluate him tomorrow. I only have one other catcher, so if I need him I can catch him. I believe."
