All the boys in school get mad at me when I tell them how hot Carlos Silva is. When he does stuff like tape his mouth shut, how do you not love him?? He's so adorable in every way. I love him so much!!!!!

I have to say that for all the professional divas that exist in every sport - and even a few here and there in Minnesota - to see players like Santana and Silva who enjoy their lives and recognize their own value to the team but don't let it go to their heads???

yeah, someone out there raised their kids right. Just sayin'

You guys have to read this interview, "The Art of Hitting" with Carew, Oliva and Molitor. It's really interesting. How often do you have three guys of that caliber in a single interview?!

If I was a guy and had a wife and two daughters as beautiful as Johan Santana's I would probably forget about baseball when I left the park too!

The Minnesota Binoculars makes sense. Afterall that's what you need to enjoy a Twins game from most seats in the Metrodome...

The real story of the spring that Kyle Lohse has killed his evil Twin Lyle! Death to Lyle!

Kyle Lohse -- Cy Young Award winner!

Maybe Kyle finally feels he is being compensated enough to use his god given talent and be the pitcher he has been hyped to be for so many years.

Heh. Evil Twin. That's a good one. :)

Please forgive the off topic

The Royals are promised the All-Star game if they upgrade Royals stadium

http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news?slug=ap-all-stargame-kansascity&prov=ap&type=lgns

I guess I can dream of the All Star game in MN in a brand new stadium...sigh

Funoka,

I'm going to reserve judgement on whether Lyle is well and truly gone. Watching too many mosnter movies (not to mention gorging myself on Bond films the past couple of days) has taught me that.

But if the All-Star break rolls around is Lyle's nowhere to be seen, I'll be right with you, happily piling on the dirt.
