Joe Mauer's not the only one male modeling during the off-season. Donnalove sends this picture of the Jackal:
Damn, Jackal. If that jacket were any hotter it would be Johan Santana. I'm glad to see a little sartorial style around here. If only the Jackal had been around to give celebs dressing advice pre-Golden Globes, Gwyneth might not have worn an oversized doily and Drew Barrymore might have put on a bra. If he's not next to Michael Kors and Nina Garcia judging the next Project Runway, Batgirl's going to be crushed.
Also, Imprvyz sends this tidbit from an MLB.com article about the Twins Caravan:
Thanks to a broken coffee mug that punctured one of the front tires of the Twins' bus, the caravan was delayed for 45 minutes on Tuesday morning. Those traveling on the northwest leg of this year's tour -- manager Ron Gardenhire, pitching coach Rick Anderson, outfielder Lew Ford, shortstop Jason Bartlett and WCCO Radio's John Gordon -- were forced into a change of plans but made the most of the downtime.As the bus had its tire replaced, the group sat inside the teacher's lounge of Detroit Lakes Middle School and found plenty of entertainment between talking baseball and filling out crossword and Sudoku puzzles.
"Nothing like doing Sudoku puzzles, huh?" said Ford with a smile.
