BatHousekeeping

First off, WCCO Radio is sponsoring a contest in which the winners get the Twins Caravan to broadcast from their house. Including actual Twins. Like Matthew LeCory and Michael Cuddyer. I mean, not like them, but rather them! In the (ample) flesh! In your house! Batgirl wants this to go to a Batling, dammit. And then she wants a full report.

Secondly, TwinsFest is coming up. You get to tour the locker room. The Twins' locker room. If only the Twins would be there, then Name That Butt could go to a whole new level.

Thirdly, if you love Jack Morris, and you love banquet food, well then, you will love the St. Paul Saints Hot Stove Banquet on January 22. Morris will be speaking, along with Johnny Blanchard and some Saints muckety muck. Tickets are $50 a pop. Here's more info.

Fourthly, if you love the Saint Paul Saints, and you love bloggers, surely you will love BASEBLOG NIGHT at Midway Stadium. It's Monday, June 13, and they welcome bloggers AND their bloggerlings for a mere $8 per ticket. Go to Saints Groups and type in the password "blog."

I wonder if they'll come to my house if I win...
Colorado's rather pretty that time of year.

Is Joe Nathan on the caravan?
Because otherwise I don't care.

Actually, as a Fargo-Moorhead resident and mini-fan of the St. Paul Saints sometime rivals the FM-Redhawks, I have a feeling they'd charge me $9 dollars for a ticket.

Anyhow, entered in the contest, let you know how it goes.

Mimiru, you were mentioned in Gleeman's blog today. What offended you in his January 6th posting? I saw nothing that could be considered inappropriate.

Difference of opinion is all.

He's right about me in that I shouldn't bash him here. It's pointless for all concerned.

So, I won't (anymore).

Can't wait for Twins Fest!

In all honesty, are people outside the metro area eligible for the home visit? Like South Dakota, outside...? I couldn't find restrictions on 'CCO's page.

Last year we weren't supposed to get anyone special & I wasn't feeling 100% so I ditched and missed out on a surprise appearance by one Johan Santana. Still kicking myself over that one.

Totally UNRELATED note:

To the members of BG-nation who have attended gatherings at the Bulldog. If you enjoyed their menu...in particular the stuffed burgers...make plans to enjoy them for the last time before the end of the month. A co-worker of mine moonlights as a bartender there. He says the menu is getting a complete overhaul in a few weeks. No more stuffed burgers. No more kettle chips with sandwiches.

Now back to the regular blogging.

You should take it as a compliment, Mimiru. You're a celebrity! Nobody's going to waste their time blogging about someone boring like that Goober fellow (except his sister and that's pure payback).
