Get out your palm pilots! Call your personal assistants! Warn your kitties! Here's your schedule for Monday.
7:00. Rise and Shine! There's BASEBALL TODAY! What are you doing in bed? Don't you have to prepare? Put some coffee in that Batgirl mug and put on your "Don't Blame Me, I voted for Santana Nathan" t-shirt. It's time to get real, people.
11:00 Tune your radios into WCCO. Batgirl will be on The Pat Miles Show to discuss Social Security. I mean Opening Day. Call in and say how much you love Batgirl!
12:00 If you haven't already, place your orders for MONEYBALL. Batgirl's Book Club begins the 18th!
4:00 Be at the Bulldog in Uptown with Batgirl to watch Brad Radke begin the season in style. Perhaps buy Batgirl a drink?
8:00 Head home, happy and secure in a Twins victory. Maybe buy the BatKitties some catnip on your way. They like catnip.
Posted by Batgirl at April 1, 2005 09:27 AMI have a paper due in class at 6:00, im defintaly dumping it off in my professors office, and ditching class.
Posted by: Twinsfn343 at April 1, 2005 10:42 AMJust Say No To Catnip!! We've all heard the story about Thanksgiving, Batmom and catnip. I refuse to be an enabler.
Posted by: Spike at April 1, 2005 10:47 AMIt looks like they've settled on a PA announcer to fill in Bob Casey's spot. It looks like they didn't get my audition tape filled with obscene jokes and racy double-entendres based on players names. From the Twins site:
"MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins announced Friday that veteran broadcaster Bob Kurtz will take over as their public address announcer for the 2005 season.
Kurtz, the play-by-play voice of the NHL's Minnesota Wild on WCCO, replaces Bob Casey, who died Sunday after a battle with liver cancer and pneumonia. Casey was the only PA announcer in the club's history, and handled more than 3,000 games at Metropolitan Stadium and the Metrodome since 1961."

I cannot wait!!!!
Much Love
Wonder Woman
How much of an entourage and security force would one have to wade through to get close to Batgirl on Monday? Must I come bearing gifts or favors to approach the Bat-Table? Are guns banned on the premesis, and, if so, is there a patdown? Does Batgirl at the Bulldog blend with the crowd, or is she like Sinatra at Jilly's, Prince at First Avenue?
Finally, what happens if I show up wearing a Mariners jersey? :)

You will lovingly be mocked while Bradke punishes the Mariners.
Jeb and Goober should wear dark sportcoats and ear pieces.
Posted by: She-Ra, P.O.P. at April 1, 2005 04:14 PMwait...why is BRadke starting and not Johan?
Posted by: IcePhoenix at April 1, 2005 05:16 PMBecause he is the Annointed Ace for Life, the Rock of the Rotation, and Dear Leader of the Pitching Staff. Plus, he has tenure.
Posted by: frightwig at April 1, 2005 05:41 PMWhat are the back up plans if the Pope dies on Monday? Do we attend "The Church of Baseball" as Annie Savoy attends to this day to honor His Excellancy's life? Or do we meet at the Basilica after the game? Just wondering.
Posted by: twinsfansam at April 2, 2005 12:21 AMWhy would the Wild announcer be looking for work???
If the Pope does die, does Santana have an opt out clause from the Twins if he is elected? I hope not, cuz he is the closest thing to Hayzeus Chreesto I have ever seen!
Batgirl - did you purposely not include the ritualistic sacrifices that should be made on opening day as to not scare away those with lesser faith? Obviously with the run of injuries the Twins had at the start of last year the gods had not been properly appeased! (Of course that was before Batgirl's epiphany and rise to her proper place so she can not take any blame.) Everyone knows how superstitious baseball players are. We all must do our part to keep nothing but good Karma flowing through the team.
