Mark Buehrle was a headline writer's dream in the papers this morning.
"I hate the Twins," one headline blared. But it was just half of the quote.
``...because they're good and they win," Buehrle added.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire still got a kick out it.
``It doesn't get any better than that," he said. ``That's a great article and that's why its fun. Buehrle, we have faced him 10 million times and that's good stuff. That's the way its been, back and forth.
Gardy later added: ``We kind of feel the same way about him. I like it when Buehrle pitches because I know we are going to get home quick. It's going to be two hours."
About today's matchup between Francisco Liriano and John Danks,Gardenhire said: ``Who's going to blink first. Who's going to make the first mistake and get some runs on the board because you have two good pitchers and someone is going to have to miss one over the plate and someone is going to have to whack one. Hopefully us."
Gardy killed FSN's Ron Coomer before the game when he held up a t-shirt from Mount Carmel High School, a Catholic League power here. Coomer spent some of his prep career at St. Rita one of their rivals, and was not pleased.
