Quote of the Year?

Toronto Blue Jays GM J.P. Ricciardi was asked about acquiring Adam Dunn on his talk show the other day. He said:

Do you know the guy really doesn't like baseball that much? Do you know the guy doesn't have the passion to play the game that much?...We've done our homework on guys like Adam Dunn and there is a reason why we don't want Adam Dunn. I don't want to get into specifics. He is a lifetime .230 to .240 hitter that strikes out a ton and hits home runs.

Dunn, predictably miffed, replied:

I have a lot more important things to worry about than what some windbag GM in Canada says about me...Passion? He can say what he wants about the strikeouts and that I don't fit in their scheme, whatever, but you can't tell me about something you have no idea about. You're not even in the U.S., you're in Canada.

USA, FTW.
