Linked And Loaded - Wednesday - 7/15/09

Congratulations to Prince Fielder!!!  The Brewer won a couple of contests.  The obvious win was Tuesday night at Home-Run Derby where Fielder did well and captured the title of Home-Run King 2009.  Those doughnuts on the bat will disappear from that picture if there is no meat in them.  An advertised vegetarian has a tendency to get skinnier.  Fielder doesn’t seem to have lost much weight since going “Vegan” last summer.  How many grams of fat are there in asparagus anyway?
