    Default Your Rod Allen-to-English Dictionary




    This is from earlier in the year, but for some reason I never came across it before. Funny stuff.

    -Not A Bad Idea: What Rod says any time someone tries to bunt. “Laird bunts it foul…not a bad idea in this situation.”

    -Not Fair: Used to describe when a pitcher is dominating. “The way Greinke is throwing out there today is just not fair.”

    -Oh No He Didn’t: A common saying used whenever someone on the Tigers makes a big play. Mario: “Diving catch by Inge!” Rod: “Oh no he didn’t!”

    -Pahdnuh: “Partner”, a term of endearment he uses for Mario. “You’re looking sharp today, Pahdnuh.”

    2012 AAT -- Prince Fielder -- 34 H, 3 2B, 5 HR, 15 RBI, 14 BB, 20 K, 318/398/486 .

    He's an original, is Rod Allen.

    Rod also coined the infamous mixed metaphor "remedy for success". He most be applying that to Leyland's managing strategies.
