QUOTE OF THE DAY

"I went to grab another gear, and I dropped the transmission."

-Lance Berkman on pulling his groin during a base run Sunday.

Berkman's a clown (in a good way). He had a miniature (kids) version of his all-star jersey delivered to his locker before the all-star game a couple of weeks ago. He put it on and wore it around just to get all the guys in a good, funny mood before the game.
