Jeremy: Quick Notes

*Jason Giambi thinks that Major League Baseball owes the fans an apology for everything that has happened with performance enhancing drugs.
"What we should have done a long time ago was stand up -- players, ownership, everybody -- and said, 'We made a mistake... We should have apologized back then and made sure we had a rule in place and gone forward."
Four words to Mr Giambi: GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!

*Can someone please return the Minnesota Twins back to Minnesota? This bunch of guys that are wearing Twins jersey's right now, and parading around like they are MLB players is clearly not the real guys.
Honestly, what happened here? Look, we didn't expect a ton of runs out of these guys, but you had to expect that they'd be serviceable. The real shocker is the pitching and the defense. Like I said, who are these guys?

*The Vikings are trying to make another push for a stadium at the end of the legislative session in order to drum up support for next year's session. Asking the state to consider a Vikings stadium at this point, for the Vikings, is a little like The Jesus (John Turturo's character in "The Big Lebowski" describing Walter (John Goodman) not being able to bowl on Saturday because it's Shabas: "Laughable man!"

*I'm not 100% of the opinion that the NBA may have taken away the championship from the Suns by suspending Diaw and Stoudamire in game 5, but HOLY CRAP, could that possibly have come at a worse possible time for the NBA?
