Ooo...Legovision!

Anyway, I think in this sequence the bullpen ably demonstrates why I call the Tiggers' stadium Comerica National Park.

Also, I could almost hear the cheesy kung-fu sound effects when we saw "Pudge" and J.C. straing each other down.

It makes me feel better after a painful loss...

Yeah! The return of Legovision! I watched the news coverage on KARE 11 and it was funny watching Rivas and LNP try to get between J Ro and Slim.

Look at that smirk on the face of Rodriguez as he's going to first. How Romero could restrain himself I don't know. I'd be handing out one-way tickets to Painsville.

All the while, my biggest fear is that in the scuffle, big ol' Duh-mitri Young would eat LNP!! Doesn't he look like one of the singers from the group "Full Force" (check out http://www.soulwalking.co.uk/Full%20Force.html, I ain't lyin'!)

BW,

Forget Duh-mitri. I was more concerned about the whereabouts of Nate Robertson. They say that once you get a taste for something, you will always crave more...

MK

Wow...they let Ivan the Slim have a spear?

Amazing...

Bat-Girl & Twin Kin:

Although I'm a Tigers fan living in Philadelphia, I've enjoyed reading this site daily.

Alright, so maybe I check it more than once a day.

Alright, so maybe I hit refresh every 30-seconds with hopes of more legovision.

In any event, I love the site. And unlike Dmitri Young, I respect what the Twins have done in an era of payroll disparity.

As a gesture of my respect, we'll trade you Bobby Higginson for Brad Radke straight up...

Did I mention that I adore Legovision?

I was afraid that Morneau was going to get hurt getting in the middle of that "brawl".

This year's LegoVision seems to be in glowing TechniColor. Or is my monitor screwed up?

Legovision... sweet legovision.... Somehow, the whole game doesn't hurt anymore.... as much....

September, BSMA, September.

Damn it, the Bitch Sox don't seem to want lose!! Losing games like this could really come back to haunt us. We need to go to KC and really smoke them and hope the A's can win a few.

Legovision...BG, you give me something new to love about this site every day.

The bullpen rushing in was the best.

Give the Bitch Sox a month or two...remember when the Royals were on fire out of the gate? What a joke that turned out to be. Live it up, Bitch Sox fans. Owning April is not something I'd be too excited about.

As fun as it is to read the same (asinine) post over and over, I think it's time for Sox Fan to take his/her sassmouth elsewhere, seeing as he/she clearly has nothing to add to the conversation.

Anyways, I think Slim needed a spear because he knew JC would totally wax him mano-a-mano.

~Carmen

Bat Girl -
I missed the game today - but the lego-vision replay tops anything FSN could have broadcast.

I was also spared the bottom of the first. I think Bradke needs to worry less about his 25 hot chick votes and more about not throwing gopher balls. In 1986, Circle-Me-Bert set the ML single season record serving up 50 taters. Bradke is well on his way.

This post is so funny that I can't even laugh; I just sit and ache because it's so funny. This is border-line genius.

Quote from Pioneer Press:
"Romero said he didn't know what Rodriguez was yelling about. "No idea. Go ask him," said Romero, who wouldn't answer any more questions about it. "J.C.'s got to go catch a plane.""

Please tell me that J.RO is not going to go around talking in third person. Ugh, that drives me nuts!

Great re-enactment!

Losses hurt. Legovision reenactments help.

Thanks, Batgirl.

I didn't know anything about the altercation until I came here (ah, the sorrow of not being able to catch the games--GameDay never says "A fight on the field!").

I did appreciate JustIncredible holding back Skinny. He's a large guy. It's nice to know we've got a kid out there who can get between players (if he doesn't get sick or injured first).

Just Beth

I've got nothing really clever to add. I just wanted to say, "Yay, Legovision. I like Legovision."

k-bro

Hey, wait!

Did Nook actually touch third base? Or did he just use his sword? What is this, "Rounders?"* Someone should appeal that! Maybe "Slim" was just causing a distraction so noone would notice?!

-NYB

*A baseball-like game that they play in England where you carry your bat with you and use it to touch the bases. Mostly a girl's game played at school. Brits like to tease us that Baseball is based on a schoolgirl's game. Brits are silly. I mean, come on, Cricket?

"The Twins bullpen, still, runs toward the field."

TOTAL "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" flashback!

I'm with k-bro. Yay, Legovision!

Bat Girl,

As a Sox fan who was turned onto this site last week, I have enjoyed it quite a bit.

Anyway, I absolutely LOVE the thin picture of Lego Slim's eyes 'You heard me.'

That made me start laughing at my desk at work. Well, at least everyone now knows I'm not working on anything.

Good luck with your season, the 'Bitch Sox' and Twinkies will meet again in August, and I am looking forward to it...

Forgot to put this in my last post:

I also love how Torii is Spiderman. If I had a dollar every time that guy frustrated me with some great acrobatic play...

Even though I am mad/sad/concerned about the Twins, the LegoVision reenactment made me laugh.

" Tu madre es una Bitch Sox entusiasta!" - too funny!

'Tu madre es una Bitch Sox entusiasta!'

How no one else has commented on this line is beyond me. I don't speak Spanish at all (although, my French probably helped me un peu), but this had me laughing out loud at my desk.

Crap - just missed Attyfan's post.

This was a hoot.

Just as a suggestion, if ever the urge strikes you, BG -- a t-shirt that has the image of Slim's beady eyes with the word LEGOVISION underneath would rock on so many levels.

Yes Say Rah,

>>>>Tu madre es una Bitch Sox entusiasta!

That's a horrible, horrible thing to say to someone. It makes me want to cover my ears in horror. No wonder J.C. was so mad! Thanks for enlightening us, Batgirl, I was really wondering what it was all about.

Dearest Ms. IC,

Alas, selling shirts with someone's product on it (Legos) is something I cannot do legally. As much as I would love to.

Sincerely,
BG

Legovision Rules!

Not even if we hire you lawyers? Evil lawyers with briefs and lightsabers?

Why is "Nook" in quotes?

Awesome. You sure you don't want to switch sides and cover the inept Mariners? We have so much more material!. Really, top quality stuff. Good luck Twins!

Lawyers wearing thier underwear to court will not help matters any.

It would if they were cute.

You are awesome Batgirl! I absolutely love these reenactments!

My roomie turned me on to this site...CAN'T get enough. Thank heaven for Legovision. Genius

Maybe I'm a Neanderthal, but I would have liked to see JC and Slim go at it. JC's not exactly a little guy. Granted, he's a pitcher but still, he's got some muscle behind him.

Its as if i watched the game again. I slept through sports center, but i wanted to see it all again, to try to make some sense of it all. God Bless Legovision. Now it all makes sense, after seeing what that bastard punk bitch Slim said to J.C.! I'm suprised ANYONE could hold him back.

A few more random thoughts in a day full of random thoughts --

If each of the Batlings fronts some money, could we buy BG naming rights to the new stadium?

Failing that, could we pitch the idea to the Lego board to get them to pay to name it "Legovision Park", with specialty merchandise stores inside with little Twins Lego figurines and posters of classic Legovision moments, like when Terry Tiffee saw birdies after hitting Pudge?

Dear Ms. IC,

Truly, you are a visionary.

Respectfully,
BG

CarrieIC, You're a damn genius! Legovision Park ... with in-game Lego re-enactments between innings on the Jumbotron! Put BG on the Twins salary to do that Lego thing that only she can do ...

And it kills two birds with one stone: That would be a highly effective way to get people to an outdoor park during the April cold and the August heat!

Legovision.
'nuff said.

There is a super-swell story about Terrance John in the PiPress today. Read it. It is good. The print version has pictures. Anyone else want to try the Mullholland mystical eastern diet?

And I believe that "Nook" is a nickname, thus the quotes.

Carrie, girl, I love you. *sniff*
I'm going to dream about Legovision Park tonight.
And instead of Vintage Uniform days, the Twins could have Spaceman Outfit days....

More random thoughts...

What if the fight between J Ro and Slim actually had its root in an earlier altercation? Say, like, during a snowball fight between teams on one of the snowed-out days? Maybe the Doctor's challenge was answered....

The article on Terrance John was so moving! I can't believe he gave Terry Ryan a dollar. That shows so much gratitude and he is such a class act. I hope he can stay with us for the rest of his career.

A "LegoVision Park" definately has to be constructed out of Legos. It might be kinda pricey, but damned fun to build.

how much do i have to pay for "live" LegoVision dramatizations to go along with the CCO radio coverage?

i'll pay top dollar.

Well, Legos do have many advantages: light yet strong, easily cleanable, modular, requiring little or no mortar, adhesive, rivets, or other accoutrements to put together; renovation would be a snap, small children would volunteer to be on the construction team (as would some adults)... it's so crazy it just might work!
Does anybody know the load-bearing capacity of legos?

That's one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time, but I have one question. Why was "Slim" still on first base after the ball skipped by your third baseman. Seems strange to me.

Torii's Travel Tips from the Strib:

The Twins stayed at the Ritz-Carlton in Dearborn, Mich., about a 20-minute drive from Detroit. Torii Hunter said: 'It was pretty boring. ... Dearborn is the worst place to stay, ever.'"

I suppose the load bearing capacity of the Legos would largely be determined by the number of supports...

However, there would have to be some special squishy coverings for the Legowall in the outfield, or Torii will be walking around all season with gridmarks all over his face.

I love the twins and J.C. Romero as much as the next guy. But I think J.C. would have been whooped by Slim if an actual fight would have occurred.

Pitchers, especially left-handed pitchers, are in a special class of sissy-fighters that includes hockey goalies, soccer players, and the French.

If I were J.C., I would have also been worried about I-Rod tapping into some of that lingering roid-rage.

Sorry if I offended. It is just one person's opinion.

Legovision is the coolest.

I think we have a primary contractor: http://www.leahey.com/bricktownBallpark.html

BG,

That was HUGE. LegoVision totally rules.

Hey, good thing little Nicky Punto didn't get involved in any of the extracurricular activities. We already had two shortstops down with PS2 fingernail ripitis and creaky neck syndrome.

Yeah, it's pretty rough to hang out at the Ritz-Carlton, they have great rooms!! I have had the luxury of staying in one for a previous job. Nice digs!

They should have went to the Henry Ford Museum while in Dearborn. That would have solved everyone's boredom problems, but they'd have to remind Lew he's not a relative.

I heard Joe Nathan on 93X this morning (I only listen to it when The Nathanest is on) and he said that most wives/girlfriends/SO's do not go to Detroit because it's boring and he's glad that his didn't go because it would have been an expensive shopping weekend.

Lego stress testing completed in my formative years revealed that they can withstand:

- Marble cannonball attack
- Head-on simulated Tonka truck impact
- Direct canine attack
- Rubber Band wars
- GI Joe assault

The biggest danger would arise from the attack of a 150 foot toddler.

(Not to mention lost revenue to nearby Duplo and Lincoln Log venues nearby)

Hell, I'm an Indians fan and I'd chip in for Batgirl naming rights for the Twins' new stadium.

That would be absolutely phenomenal.

This one's probably the best:

Batgirl in Library ads?

http://www.skywaynews.net/articles/2005/04/25/news/news03.txt

"What do Chairman Mao Tse-tung, J. Edgar Hoover and Batgirl have in common?"
...
"The Mao/Hoover/Batgirl implication is that all three were librarians, but it's not exactly true. Batgirl was head librarian at Gotham Public Library prior to her career as a crime fighter."

I had no idea.

Dearest Mr Mr,

I don't REMEMBER doing that, but I must have! I mean, there's not another Batgirl, is there?

Yours,
BG

Most revered Bat Girl,
I discovered your site about a week ago and have been plugging it on my own Cubs (and, by default, anti-Bitch Sox) site ever since.
While I still do not even feel worthy to post a comment on your blog, I do have to give you props.
The concept, the execution . . .
Two words: Bril-liant!

"At first, it was like he was saying 'Hey' or something," Morneau said. "Then I could tell he was talking trash."

I'm not sure why, but this quote gave me a good chuckle. I think I have a strange sense of humor.

Minneapolis Crisis Nursery used to host a fundraiser event at the dome that was all about legos, and involved an auction of celebrity lego creations and the turf covered in piles of legos for kids (and adults) to build with. I think one year they broke a world record or something by building a road of legos from the backstop to the outfield wall. Dunno if they still do that every year, tho.

A stadium constructed of Legos would be mindbendingly awesome, and likely win numerous architecture awards.

Of course, it might also have the most ass-numbing seats of all time, but you have to take the bad with the good.

As another White Sox fan -- though one who has been reading for more than a couple of weeks -- I, too, must admit my love of Legovision.

"Tu madre es una Bitch Sox entusiasta!"

Pure genius.

Since we're all chipping in anyways, hello, Tigers and Red Sox fan (don't ask) here. Quality Legovision. I was tearing my hair out about being denied the visual splendor of a riled-up Pudge, but the steely lego stare mostly makes up for it.

And for the record I agree with whoever said Pudge probably would have flattened JC. But if Nook had been in the thick of things, I don't think it would be too crazy to assume that there would have been shrill, girlish screams emanating from his corner.

Bat Girl,

It is a daily struggle to focus on my job and not comb through your archives for hours at a time (the 'security expert team' maintains that the internet is a business tool...). The greatness is just nonstop.

Speaking of both expressing my batgirl fandom and Canadian heroics... Is it possilbe to request additions to your online emporium? I would very much like to be the first on my block to own an ultramanly 'Justin Morneau is my non-sexual mancrush' ringer t. You don't ask, you don't get.

Irrepressibly yours,

BerserkerJosh

Dearest Mr. Josh,

Done and done.

Yours,
BG

First....Thank u to bat girl for Legovision and using J.Ro...I thought u forgot about his nickname. The stare down was great!!!...Hysterical...

Secondly, on my site. www.bojeesbaseballworld.bravehost.com i have an "exclusive" interview with Cuddy on why he's been terrible at the plate... And Mr. Mauer is named hot guy of the week...Sweet pic up of him!

There is another Batgrl, albeit with a different spelling.

Is that a quality quartz countertop under the field at Comerica Park?

Hahaha, yes -- "This Legovision Replay is brought to you by Cambria!"
