So Frank Thomas says he's "close" to retiring. But he's still staying in shape in case someone sends a contract his way at the last minute.

So given that Sosa opened his mouth about "waiting for the call to the Hall of Fame" and later we discover he's one of the 104, think everybody is gonna go digging for dirt on The Big Hurt?

Thank Christ interleague play is over for the Brewers. Looks like the rest of the NL Central will be happy to leave it behind them, too.

Thomas is one of the few that I actually believe stayed clean. Yeah, he's huge, but he's been huge since the time he was 18 years old and playing at Auburn. He's one of a few players that would probably throw the media into a giant shitstorm if it ever came out that he used in the 90's, too (off the top of my head, others being Ken Griffey Jr, the Atlanta trio of Maddux/Smoltz/Glavine, and any "true" Yankees).
