Gophers senior Trevor Mbakwe scored 14 points with six rebounds for the United States in its fourth consecutive victory of the World University Games, 124-64 against Finland in China.

Apparently, Jim Thome home run history has not resonated with the 600th fan enough to buy souvenirs caps denoting the operator of a domestic supplier. The caps are available thomerunclub.com.

Old twins Charlie Manuel, manager of the Philadelphia Phillies who managed Thome in Cleveland, the 600th Thome, in Gloucester County (New Jersey) Times: "I jumped out of bed I got a kick out of it. "

Manuel, Thome credited the night he hit No. 600, recalled meeting where Thomas Thomas was a rookie 19 years in 1989.

"It was kind of shy and naive," Manuel told the newspaper. "He was not very confident, but he was strong. We had a first baseman, Mike Davis, who was a big hitter left, and Jimmy would follow him everywhere.I used to work with Mike Davis and Jimmy every day would go out with him, so I had to throw Jimmy, too. I really do not want, because I did not think he was really good.

"But a week passes and I watch (Thomas) and he does everything in his attitude that I wanted to make Mike Davis, and I said, 'Hey, I work with the bad guys.

I was supposed to give a fully refundable $200 deposit initially, and I did give them a credit card number but the salesman was cool and didn't even run it. The test drive was to my house to get my checkbook. That's how much I loved this thing from the moment I got in. I went back to the dealer and did the paperwork. Even with a small Honda Finance loan, I was in and out in about an hour and a half. They detailed it the minute it arrived so it was set to go. I came back a few days later for some extras to be installed (ie the cargo cover, and floor mats). The only negative I can identify is that the finance person I had to meet with was rather pushy about their service and warranty plans and rust type coverage packages. I passed on every one of those and they clearly did not like that one bit. I know that's where they make a lot of profit and I didn't give a hoot. Besides that one guy's attitude and sales pitch, the experience was great. Night and day wonderful compared to a prev. experience with a local VW dealer. I'd definitely recommend buying from them (and their service dept too). All rights reserved. FitFreak is a registered trademark of KART Media, LLC.
