Doug and Jodi are pregnant! Doug and Jodi are pregnant! Oh, and Doug's totally fine now, about everything, and he's sorry, and everything just got blown out of proportion, and that whole Red Sox ball thing was just a big misunderstanding, and Gardy's great, and Dr. Morneau's great, and the Twins are great, and Minnesota fans are just the BEST. And Doug and Jodi are PREGNANT!
From the Strib:
"The one thing I really miss most," he had just finished saying, "is the Minnesota fans. They treated me better than the kind of player I was, and that doesn't happen too often."Mientkiewicz doesn't want any bridges burned. The Mets hold a $3.75 million option on his contract for next year, and if they don't pick it up, he'll be looking for work.
The Twins always will be high on his list.
"Hopefully someday," he said, "when I'm 40, and they want me to back up Morneau playing defense, I can go back and do it. ... They know they've got a fan in New York.
