If this is anyone but Steve Allen, you're stealing my lineup idea.

Is there a thread where we can capture all of the nutjob stuff Maddon says? This guy is like the competent Dusty Baker. Did anyone catch this?

"As Maddon was walking into the tiny interview room in the bowels of Wrigley Field after Monday night's dramatic 7-6, 10-inning victory over the Reds, he was talking as much to himself as to anyone else.

"Entering the Vatican, the catacombs, the Da Vinci Code is being broken,'' Maddon said as he headed toward the microphone.

I didn't understand what he was saying, just thought it was hilarious. He is eccentric, and in a good way.

“A big part of that (running and putting pressure on) is want to,” Maddon said. “There is a lot of want to in stealing bases. There is that musketeer attitude that is kind of necessary where you are not afraid to make a mistake. I really wanted to (instill) that into the group and in the minor leagues. Station-to-station baserunning is really awful. You can ‘t create moments or create runs to win close or real low-scoring games.”
