Yesterday’s game recap was a little bleary, and Batgirl apologizes. The game featured a number of, well, interesting plays that really demanded to be seen to be believed. So, for your edification, Team Batgirl presents the final play of the top of the ninth.
It’s the top of the ninth. The Twins are losing 3-2. With two outs, Guzie is on second and Koskie is on 1st, and Torii Hunter’s batting.
He takes a 3-2 pitch and knocks it into right field for a double. Guzie runs from second, Corey from first.
Guzie scores with Corey right behind him.
The catcher gets the ball, as Corey barrels for home!
Corey slides. The catcher misses the tag!
Out???!!!!
"Excuse me, sir, are you quite mad?"
The coaching staff tries to restrain Corey, as he throws his helmet in rage.
Yer outta here! Hit the showers, Canada!
HAHAHAH
brilliant
Excuse me, sir, are you quite mad?
HAHAHA
jolly good

Heheheh.. I love the little nubbin on Koskie's head. Very realistic.

Posted by: FarCorner at May 6, 2004 09:53 AMmy favorite part is the catcher's equipment. He's got a sword! He would have been safe if his leg hadn't been lopped off. It landed inches short of the plate.

Posted by: mmmarkiep at May 6, 2004 10:26 AMCongress should really crack down on the use of performance-enhancing oxygen in baseball. I don't have moral issues with discreet use, but the players today are flaunting it by wearing their air tanks on the playing field! What will we tell the children?
Posted by: Greg at May 6, 2004 10:55 AMWow, Corey's got his laser gun leveled on the ump during the fracas! But even though he owns a gun doesn't mean he uses it for violence. Canada shames us again.
Posted by: JEB at May 6, 2004 12:22 PMloved your opening line... genius. Hey, you seem to be a photoshop expert (see 'Silva goes to Cooperstown'), maybe soon you'll treat us to Bud Selig as SPIDERMAN!!! Love your witty blog, go go bat-girl.
Posted by: Andy at May 6, 2004 02:34 PMHere's how I protested the bad calls by Marty Foster. Ordinarily when the Twins win I'll where my Twins cap the next day. If the Twins should lose I wear my Edmonton Trappers cap I got at TwinsFest this past January. To show my displeasure with the blown calls from this game I wore my Hard Rock Hotel Las Vegas cap. That'll show 'em! We need to send a message to those fatcats in the MLB offices. I'm sure my protest has struck a mighty blow, I wonder why "60 Minutes" hasn't called yet...

Posted by: Skorch at May 6, 2004 02:52 PMOops... that post was supposed to go towards the spiderman debacle... i'm sure my blunder was obvious, that's what makes them blunders i guess. Anyway here's my take on this unholy union... 'Budzilla teams up with Spiderman to drive purity out of last sacred place in ballpark, Selig happens.'
