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.Posted by Batgirl at August 9, 2004 10:45 AM

I was not aware that my least favorite player ever, Frank Thomas, had a sense of humor! LOL FRANK! OK, well it either was an incredibly funny joke, or a reminder as to why I despise the man so much...maybe a bit of both.

Posted by: Stacy at August 9, 2004 10:51 AMDid Thomas really say that? Like, recently?
That's so wildly off base (especially considering he's out for the season) that it sounds like one of those blatantly unfair, taken-way-out-of-context quotes you sometimes see on the Internet.
Like, maybe he said it in April.
Or he prefaced it by saying, "Gee, I really wish we were in a position where I could say..."

I won't say what he's the best at, but he's the best at it. For sure.
Posted by: Biggie_robs at August 9, 2004 03:35 PMMe thinks that Frank has wandered into the Met's locker room from two years ago and has inhaled some wacky weed.
Posted by: Wonder Woman at August 9, 2004 07:19 PMMy brother and I had a nice laugh after I read that. It felt good to laugh like that. I haven't laughed like that in a looooonnngggg time. I don't know when he said it, I don't care when he said it...it's just hilarious that he did say it. I really think that his pain medication has made him freakin' delirious....unless....he doesn't take any pain medication.....

Konerko: "We might be as good as Minnesota. And there might even be a chance that we're not as good as Minnesota."
"Might ... be a chance." Hey, that's like getting an atheist to admit there might be a God, right? (No offense to any atheists who are Batlings, just an example I came up with.)

Clicked on amr's name. This, at the very end, stands out:
Anna Benson, a model and actress, will have a better career in New York than her husband, new Mets pitcher Kris Benson.
