Now, Batgirl knows there's a lot of baseball to be played yet, and she discounts neither the Bitch Sox nor Cleveland. But she enjoyed these two items:

From the Strib:

And first baseman Frank Thomas, apparently having missed the Twins' winning two consecutive division titles and having the second-best record in the league, said: "With the players we have now, if we all get healthy, we should run away with things, to be honest. ... The way Minnesota's playing, we could run away with the division."

Meanwhile, Twins Geek has this to say:

From the Transaction Wire: The Chicago White Sox acquired second baseman Roberto Alomar from the Arizona Diamondbacks for cash and a player to be named. Oh, this is just precious. Kenny, here's a little grilling tip for you: When the grill is smoking a lot, and the meat is black and crispy, or sort of looks like a large chunk of coal, it's done. Real, real done. At that point, it doesn't really matter whether you take it off the grill or not. And parading it in front of people to show you once had a juicy rib eye steak isn't going to enhance your reputation as a cook.
