He's my Tiger

I've decided that Jim Leyland is my favorite Tiger. He could be the new Berra - he's always got a classic line. Asked how he spent the rain delay last night:

And all that sitting can be at least as hazardous to a manager's health as to his starting rotation. Asked what he did for three hours Wednesday, while he was waiting for baseball officials to figure out whether they were going to play, Leyland replied: "I smoked about a carton. It was probably one of the worst days of the year -- for my lungs."

"I'm not going to chew yesterday's breakfast," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "I'm not going to comment on it."

He's cool!
