Kyle Lohse might have dented more than a door when he took out his frustration after being pulled from his last start after just two innings.

Lohse dented manager Ron Gardenhire's office door, apparently with a bat, injured his finger and might have permanently fractured his already strained relationship with the Twins, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported Thursday.

He also might have jeopardized his place in the rotation -- and on the team's roster.

Soon after leaving Tuesday night's game after giving up five runs in two innings, Lohse went into the clubhouse and damaged Gardenhire's door -- denting the metal door and breaking the doorknob -- and dented the door to the locker room next to the manager's office, according to the paper. Lohse said he was upset that the coaching staff didn't "stand behind me and say, 'We've got your back.'"

"It's about winning," Gardenhire told the paper in response to the tantrum. "If you don't understand that, take a hike out of the clubhouse, because we're going to try to win whether you've got somebody's back or not. Whatever that means."

Didn't you lot want him out? Well, here's your chance.

[Porter]

Well take Loshe, he dominated the M's pretty handily

[DirtyKash]

He only "dented" the door? Ha ha, what a pussy that guy is. If you're going to cause a scene and piss off the manager, you might as well go apeshit and tear down his entire office.

hope he is gone. Baker is ready to go. Pedro Liriano is ready as well. Trade Radke mays and get 1 good sp and a power hitter this team is set. Oh Travis Bowyer was called up as well he is a stud as well.
