Some Free-Form Thots

---Maybe it's me, but I haven't seen anyone mention the disparity between the $535 million pledged towards a new non-roofed stadium for the Twins, and the $430 million or so that they keep saying is needed in Hialeah for a retractable-roof stadium for the Fish. So there, I mentioned it.

---Saw an article somewhere which proposes that since the All-Star game's results has serious meaning in relation to the World Series, and that the fans predictably end up voting for washed-up has-beens to play in the All-Star game, then it would be better if the fans' votes didn't determine who are going to be All-Stars. There may be a point there, but this is the World of Selig we're living in. In this world, not only will the fans keep voting for the All-Star game, but that could be just the beginning. Who knows? With the Minor League Umpires' strike affecting umpiring all across the board, it wouldn't surprise me that he may some day be handing fans in the stands electric gizmos to vote on balls and strikes.
