Batgirl has done it again. I can't stop laughing! Thank you thank you!! (And that goes for the entire production team--excellent work!)

Is there no limit to the Ursu genius? I'd also like the words, like written down?Al

Since Mrs. Crain Internet connection can barely keep up with its 56k status..I already put in an order...Bat-Girl..I have my full trust in your hilarity so i'm buying this site unscene because i know it will be hilarious!!!

Thank You in advance Bat-Girl

Bojangles Crain

It wouldn't let me download it. =( I kept getting this error that said: "Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later." Does anyone have any idea how I can open this work of art? (I read the lyrics, and LOVED them.) Thanks!!

Dearest Mr./Ms Fan,

Please make sure you are right-clicking on the link, as opposed to just a regular mouse click. (Or if you have a Mac, hold down Control then click with your mouse.) A screen should pop up right next to your cursor that offers you several options. Scroll to either "Save target as" (PC) or "Download link as" (Mac).

Sincerely,
BG

p.s. the lyrics are now linked to in the entry. Batgirl apologizes for the delay.

Absolutely wonderful. I put up a link from the Hardball Times. What a great way to start the season!

That was just genius!

I got at least twice as much joy out of 4 1/2 minutes of "Oh Five!" than from two hours of "Mamma Mia."

Well done, Team B!

Nice. . . Nice . . .Nice. Happy Baseball!

Tomorrow is the Judgment Day!

Tomorrow we'll discover what our heaven has in store!

One more dawn...

One more day...

ONE DAY MORE!

Nice work, Team BG.

Ilk

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun!

Very good production. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Oh... my.... god... that was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while. After Mauer made his debut I was in tears from chuckling so hard while trying not to appear insane to others around me.

My favorite line: "Donnnnde estaaaaaaa.... BLANCO!!!!!"

I'm still chuckling. Thank you.

Get those Oscar speeches ready Team Batgirl!!!

Bravo!!!!

Fantastic way to open the season. Kudos to the Bat-Girl and the entire production staff.

Wow. Just wow. A lengthy doff of the cap to everyone involved!

The season has barely started yet and already the bar for baseball humor on the internet has been set incredibly high! Amazing!

Newman seemed a little skinny.

Best song ever written. Thanks, BG!

This time tomorrow, we'll be 1-0!!

Dear Ilk:

I love a good Les Miserables reference! You are officially a great person.

Sincerely,
Meghan

That was freaking hilarious!! Does Silva really miss Blanco that much?

I was looking forward to seeing this, but all I get is a screen of garbage when I hit "Download".

One of the finest Team Batgirl projects yet.
My compliments and gratitude to all involved.

To those who have had troubles downloading, keep trying....the effort is well worth it.

I'm playing hookey today. Will be listening to the 8-3-0 and then probably walking (such a nice day) to the Bulldog.

KC Boomer, you have to right click on the link and download the file, rather than simply clicking on it. That should fix it.

Any truth to the rumor that there's a hip-hop cover in the works?

Bravo!

KCBoomer,

Perhaps I can help. What operating system and browser are you using? Feel free to e-mail me and we'll get this all worked out.

Wow. I don't know what else to say but wow. I watched the whole thing with my mouth hanging open. I have to watch it again because the first time I was marveling at all the details that would go into producing such a work. Wow. Team Batgirl is ... I can't think of a word to express my stunned awe and appreciation. Wow.

Good thing I brought my flash drive to work today, so I can download using the high speed work connection instead of my home dial-up. Alas, I do not have speakers on my work computer so I will have to wait until I get home. But it will distract me from the fact that I have no cable and thus can not see Cardinals or Twins highlights until they play the Yankees or Mets.

Thanks, Team Batgirl! I laughed so hard I sprayed coffee on my keyboard.

And of course my esteemed employer will not allow any kind of media player on its office computers (the next time I hear the word bandwidth I might strangle somebody).

I (a skinflint, too) have agonizingly slow dial-up at home. BUT! Thanks to BG's brilliant and generous marketing department, the DVD is cheap and will be a nice keepsake for veiwing at the World Series victory parties.

Thanks, BG.

Jim H.

That was miraculous. Nice work, Team Batgirl!

Perhaps due to the fact that I am a YankeeFan, I was also unable to download it, even though I right-clicked and "save target as"ed several times.

Perhaps foreshadowing the postseason, the Twins have locked this YankeeFan out of the party.

Welcome to the 2005 season boys and girls -- it is shaping up to be one hell of a ride.

YankeeFan

Yankeefan - Don't take it personally, I can't download it either despite repeated efforts. I'm getting a message that "A connection with the server could not be established". I'm guessing it's due to heavy traffic, I'll have to try later.

YankeeFan and Skorch, do you, by any chance, have an e-mail account that can accept a 13.3 Mb (zipped) file? I can e-mail the file to you. Otherwise, e-mail me with your operating system and browser and we'll see if I can figure out either a) a work around or b) a solution.

I have some spare bandwidth, and have posted a streaming Quicktime version (360x240px, 8.3 MB), click my name if you're having trouble downloading the original.

"Lew's Lament" is my favorite part.

http://www.wgx.com/etc/ohfive.mov

If it's OK with bat-girl, I can provide a mirror to the file (i.e., put a copy on my own server) later today. I'll wait for her permission.

Okay, what's goin' on inside Lew's sleeping bag?

Surely Yankee Fan can, at the very least, download the MP3 to listen and follow along with the lyric sheets?

There doesn't appear to be any bandwidth issues with the server. If you're using the Firefox browser, you have to actually click on the link and then select to save it to disk.

If you can't download it from the link, try the MP3 and then, try using the link provided by whelliston. If those all fail, then my suspicion is that it's possible that the download of this file type is being blocked. There aren't too many business need justifications for this file type.

One other thing you can try, YF and Skorch. Open QuickTime, select File, Open URL in New Player and then paste the following URL into the resulting box: http://www.bat-girl.com/media/ohfive.mp4

Some people do appear to be having firewall issues.

Thanks for all of your (technical) support.

I have managed to download the file (I am guessing, too, that heavy traffic was the problem - Congrats BG and Co.). I am now upgrading Windows Media Player in an attempt to view the mp4 file (QuickTime didn't work, perhaps I will upgrade that next).

YF

Soft-clap, soft-clap! Bravo! Bravo! Hard-clap, hard-clap! Bravo! Bravo!

!Muy marvelous!

BG, et al:
You guys seem to be putting your long winters to incredibly creative use. What a fantabulous production. I am in awe of such brilliance. Enjoy the game.

Well, I've crapped out -- Windows Media Player wont play it and QuickTime wont play it. Sorry, BG, it will have to wait for a smarter man to play it. Luckily, the world is full of smarter men than me, so it shouldn't be long...

YankeeFan

I couldn't get it to play in Windows Media Player (version 10) , either. Real Player (version 10) and Quick Time (version 6.5.something) both worked for me. To get the latest version of Quick Time, download it here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

Of course, it IS available for a low, low price.

If you're talking about the Quick Time player, then c'mon, Goober, I wouldn't do that. There's a free player download.

If you mean the DVD, well... for the low, low price. Heck, at these prices, I expect to see "Crazy Bat Girl's Discount House of Mirth" commercials coming soon.

The DVD provides high-res sound, too, so you can crank up the music on your system.
Trust me, I've tried.
Does anyone else love the rock guitar "Oh Five!" remix at the end of the movie?

Will there be any DVDs available for purchase at the 'Dog this evening?

We shall bring some. We are going...right now!

I'm leaving the house now, too.

So excited. Can't breathe. I'm a Punto guy, so I'm a little nervous about my man JB, but I feel good about it. I am very excited about this team, my friends. Sehr aufgeregt.

Oh, and Rivas sucks.

Dangit Brad.

*shakes head*

Well, clearly Richie Sexson's on the Juice.

Ummmm... wow.

Mauer sent for the steal.

BatGirl, You're my hero!

I liked it, too, Eric. Gotta get all you can out of those young legs - they won't be worth much in a season or two.

BG,

Unfortunately my professor did not understand why I needed to leave class early today to listen to 'CCO radio. Anyway, my mom listened to it at work and said it was amazing. No surprise, it WAS BG afterall.

Hope y'all are having fun at the Bulldog and I wish I could be there,
Stacy

Awesome stuff Team Batgirl!!! You proved once again why you are the content queen.

PROBLEMS DOWNLOADING IT????

I had problems at first too BUT you can just download the codec/plug in/decoder at the site below. Install it... and it should work just fine.

Here's the website... http://www.3ivx.com/download/windows.html

That was really something! When is "The Making of Oh Five!" going to come out? I'd like to see that! That was one hell of a project. Did you all just throw that together over the weekend? I had some problems with it too, but once I updated my Quicktime I was okay.

And in other news, sorry to see our guys weren't hitting tonight. Oh well, there's always tomorrow. And the next day! And the next day! Yay! It's really baseball season!

Wow, it's Opening Day and Team Batgirl has already set the creativity bar mighty high.

From the looks of today's game, however, it seems that the boys spent too much time rehearsing their song in Fort Myers, and not enough time practicing their swings or refining a pitch that Richie Sexson can't clobber. I hope it bodes well for tomorrow that I didn't notice Johan showing up in this musical production.

Clap Clap Clap Clap!!

Wow.

It was great seeing such a huge turnout at the Bulldog tonight, however somebody left behind a white plastic bag with three books and a folded up newspaper inside it near the tables that Batgirl was sitting at. If it's yours e-mail me with what the books are for identification purposes and we can arrange a handoff.

If they're rare first editions, they're mine.

No better way to end a work day then listening to the ALWebber-ish guitar ending of 'Oh Five'. If only Willa Cather's work was this blissed out. With luck, I will make it to Safeco tomorrow to check out what I am now considering the real season opener. They give mulligans in baseball, right?

Weird -- but brilliant! Bravo, Batgirl!

Snaps for Batgirl! It took me awhile to figure it out, but I finally got it. Awesome!

Thank you to whoever linked that to another page. That was the funniest thing I've seen in a LONG time. Kudos to Batgirl and her team! That was awesome. =)

Art! This was art, bay-bee. Bravo to Team Bat-girl. Now, Jeb, back to work, m'boy. There's words to write.

Love to the entire Team Bat-Girl. Y'all Rock!

Joe Oh

Dearest Batgirl & Co.~

I wish I could say I was able to watch the much talked about "Oh Five!" but, alas I could not. However, I did read the lyrics and listen to the awe-inspiring song and it was instantly decided that I must purchase the DVD. And so it is done. I am eagerly awaiting its arrival!

Also, I just wanted to say how much I enjoy this site.... I just happened to have found it the other day and going through the archives and reliving the "Lego Vision" was wonderful. Thank you for the time and effort you have put in here.

I hope no one minds if I happen to pop in from time to time.

Goldie

Thanks, Joe Oh.
Write? What's that?

Batgirl. What can I say. I hopped over here from espn.com's Page 2 Baseball Power Rankings. I must say, as someone who has lived in North Dakota (poor me) for ten years and is from Southern California (Go Bums!), I grew tired of the Twins on television. I hate Fox Sports Net! In any case, after your spectacular musical "Oh Five!", I will "Root! Root! Root for the Home Team!" for as long as they stay out of Chavez Ravine (or Blue stays out of the Cities), and here's to hoping for a great season under the 'Dome!

BATGIRL, you're my HERO:)OH FIVE, just short of amazing, I think Santana should've had a line or two, but the Silva part "Donde Esta Blanco" hilarity ensued--Congrats!

I am in awe! I feel as though I should be bowing down to the wonder that is Batgirl and Team Batgirl! Maybe not, my coworkers already think I'm pretty odd. 05 is truly inspired.

ps. wizopez, I feel your pain as a fellow NoDak. The only difference is I've lived here all my life.

That was quite possible the best thing I've ever seen. Nice Job, really well done.
