Redmond motto for 09'

Below is a small excerpt from a 2006 post game recap against Detroit.
"Smell 'em" has become the team motto this season. Backup catcher Mike Redmond coined the phrase, saying they have to "smell those RBIs" when they see runners in scoring position in key situations. They playfully tap their noses when they come through, and there was plenty of nose-tapping on Friday night.
I have noticed in a couple of game threads small discussions about what this years team motto should be. I wanted to give this topic a full discussion of it's own, since some humor might lift our spirits after losing a series to the Indians. Also, I have attached a photo of Nick Punto from that same post-game recap to add even more humor. I guess there is two questions to answer here.
1. What should this year's Redmond saying be?
2. What should the caption read next to this Nick Punto Photo?

I almost forgot to answer the questions my self.
1. Don’t Suck!
2. Nick Punto “Maybe if I make this play Joe will slap my ass for once!”

How about
1. Leave no one stranded!
Very wishful thinking on my part
2. Watch me Gardy! Watch me! Are you watching?

1. 3rd base; Treasure Island, not Gilligan’s Island (stolen with respect from less cowbell, more’neau)
2. How do I parlay this easy bouncer into a dirty jersey…

Grit! And dirt! Punto knows how to play some baseball!
What are we at the park for except to win? I'd trip my mother. I'd help her up, brush her off, tell her I'm sorry. But mother don't make it to third. -Leo Durocher

All I know is
Lately “Smell ’em” describes the Twins play perfectly! You know it’s over when you lose two out of three to Cleveland.

Redmond's personal motto for '09
I can’t play anymore.
Bloggin' the bloggers since 1938.

Yeah
He should just ride off into the sunset after this year. I hope they add Morales on August 31 so he can play in September and October, in the unlikely event they make it.

After his performances lately, I would not ind keeping him for another year.

Don't overreact to recent success
Especially when he’s been below average all year. Defensively he used to be average. Now he is plain bad. He hasn’t thrown out a runner all year, and right now he is hitting .264 with no power.

and no wallks
and he seems to be behind the plate for some of our worst pitching performances.
