thougt this was funny:
Apr 21 Twins ace Johan Santana missed the birth of his daughter Wednesday, but not his start. "He came in and he says, 'My wife had a baby," manager Ron Gardenhire told the Associated Press. "I said, 'What the heck are you doing here?' And he says, 'She told me to go pitch." Santana went seven innings and gave up four runs on five hits with 10 strikeouts.
Views: Santana's wife must be a gamer just like him, telling him to scram while she's in labor. This start marks his 19 consecutive starts without a loss, a record that dates back to July. While his strikeout numbers have been amazing, his nearly four and a half runs per game have not. Sometimes you've got to take the good with the bad, however.
