Leyland Ain't the Only One That's Old School...

The Awesomeness That is Lou Piniella:

"First of all, I don’t know how to Twitter,‘’ Piniella said. "Second of all, I’m not going to learn how to Twitter. I’m really not a Facebook or a Twitter guy.

"I’m a prime rib and potato guy.

"What happened to good ol’ fashioned baseball, anyway?’’

Lou's angry.

Because he’s Lou.

Also: Fake Jim Leyland on twitter is funny.

I imagine it being in the voice from the guy with the beard in the Simpsons.

Abe’s friend, the one that likes to paddle.

That would be Jasper.

“Oh no! I broke my beard!”

Also, completely off-topic, from the Detroit News, in case you missed it:

Brent Dlugach on the pronunciation of his last name: “I’m not surprised when people get it wrong. I’m surprised when they get it right.”

By the way, it’s Duh-loo-getch, according to the American League Red Book (which gets its guidance from the Tigers’ media relations staff).
