Twins have trouble with Concordia, Gardenhire makes joke

The Twins struggled to pull out a win against Division II Concordia a few days back. They had to rally for a 7-5 victory.
Most of those five runs were allowed by new comer Phillip Humber who gave up four in one inning.
Gardenhire had this to say about the seven pitchers and Humber who took the mound.
"They were all pretty much around the plate. Juanie [Juan Rincon] was kind of all over. Humber was kind of all over ..."
wait for it...
wait...
patience...
"...the fence."
zing!
Mr. Gardenhire your jokes are too much for me. If I were a former weak hitting middle infielder, with a propensity to comfort young boys named Nick in their failures by continuing to write their name down on the lineup card at third base job then I may have crapped my pants at your humor, but I am not you. Only you are you and only you laughed at this joke. And later it was only you who walked out of your office with new pants on and told the clubhouse boy that there was a mess that needed to be cleaned up.
In related news: early findings have shown that Phil Humber is not Johan Santana. Small sample size need not apply.
