Doug Mientkiewicz Quotations

Me, my family, went through hell and back. It should have been handled differently. I'm glad it's over. I can put my (World Series) ring back on with pride now.

That was a start. But you can't overlook what Joe did for four innings.

Everyday people don't understand what he did for everybody and anybody who wore a Twins jersey.

Hopefully, I'll get a chance to tip my cap. People there treated me as a lot better player than I was. I think they get me. They understand me better than any other set of fans.

I told Willie the only way I'd play today is if I catch.

If that's not the play of the year, I'll protest.

It was the second time in my career that I've ever done it, been the DH. I asked Buddy if he was trying to get fired. He laughed.

OK, but he's really not a very good looking man.

I'm sick to my stomach about it, I told them that if they sent me down, I'm not coming back.

His curveball's ridiculous. Changeup, fastball, sinker. When you can throw four pitches for strikes, you're going to be all right.
