They bring it up in any instance. They claim our fans are white trash, however, one of my pasttimes at Royals games was playing "Count the Mullets". Rock on KC tiger fans have sort of jumped on that as well, which is pretty frickin hilarious when you consider the dump that is the city of detroit.

Thome will get plenty of rest. BTW doesn't it make more sense for interleague games since they always are 3 game series to have 2 games using one league's rules and 1 game using the other league's rules depending on the home team instead of always using the home team rules?

Unless there has been a change I haven't heard about, the DH rule is solely affected by the home stadium. NL rules in NL stadiums, etc ....

I wouldn't mind when they bring back Quentin, they DL Thome from 6/12 through the Dodgers series to give him a nice rest and added flexability for the NL parks. While his pinch hitting would be nice. Betemit as a switch hitter were be better served in this role as in a big situation they would bring in a left handed pitcher for Thome anyway. I understand Thome is doing great right now, but just a thought.
