Voting has started for the This Year in Baseball Awards. You can give the Vice President your support as closer of the year.

Al over at Bleed Cubbie Blue has a nice ode to Met Stadium.

According to Sid, the Twins have indeed contacted the Phils about Jim Thome. TR is going to win Batgirl's Sweet Talker of the Year Award if he pulls this off

EDIT: As Twins Geek pointed out in the comments, Sid was merely relating that the Philadephia Inquirer reported that the Twins inquired about Thome, but the Geek can't find any such article in the Inquirer and neither can BG. If anyone can pull it up (possibly from another newspaper) let BG know.

Further EDIT Today, Sid says the Twins have confirmed the talks.

. Meanwhile, no one on the Twins' front office is talking to Jacque, sweet or otherwise.
