Well, of course we're all very excited about the Bret Boone trade, but questions still linger! Will a winning team help him revive his All-Star Form? Will his glove help our struggling infield? And if we a chick, would he be hot?
Readers, see for yourself.
It's been a very exciting year so far on Minnesota Twins: Hottest Chick. Justin Morneau may be struggling a little, but as a chick he's hot hot hot! In the second round, Shannon Stewart proved that real women have curves.And in the Special Coaches Edition readers told Stephanie Liddle she could coach their bench any time. And now, it's time for another prelim round of:


Mikalea Redmond

Juancarlita Romero

Juanella Rincon

Martha LeCroy

Jo Mays

Luisa Rivas

Jessie Crain

Britney Boone.
LOL...and we thought you had been too busy tracking down media snippets over the all star break to have time for a new edition of "Hottest Chick".
I knew her name would be Britney.
I just knew it.
Posted by: bubblemint at July 14, 2005 12:29 AMMartha must have got into some Atkins or something. Not bad, and by not bad I mean gouge out my eyes with dull sticks.
Posted by: LunchBox at July 14, 2005 12:31 AMSo I figured I'd check BG one more time before going to bed.
So much for bed. I'll never sleep now with visions of Martha LeCroy dancing in my head.
Good work again BG.
Posted by: TwinsFoghorn at July 14, 2005 12:31 AMyou know batgirl, Anne Urslu, you're a hottie, but, um, this Twins' player as a chick thing, dunno, it's kinda stupid and just gross.
Posted by: ROb Haung at July 14, 2005 12:47 AMDear Mr. Haung,
I know, and I'm truly sorry. I just can't seem to help myself.
Regretfully,
BG
Dearest BG:
Ignore Rob.
In the finest traditions of political decision making, I've been encouraging Mariner fans to show their supprt and appreciation for Bret/Britney by coming here and voting for him. It seems the least we can do to effect something of a decent fare-thee-well for someone who's been DFA'd.
In the finals, though, It's going to be tough not to give my votes to Shannon "Curves" Stewart.
Posted by: Steve at July 14, 2005 01:32 AMLooks like Romero had thigh reduction surgery along with his sex change.
Posted by: Attyfan at July 14, 2005 05:52 AMI blame Hegs for this.
and I thank my lucky stars that I went to bed before you put this up, or the dream I had about the giant killer robot last night may have included Twins Hottest Chicks as its minions.
Posted by: kafumbly at July 14, 2005 06:57 AMWell, the upside is that I didn't check this before I went to bed, so no nightmares.
The downside is that I might now lose my breakfast.
Posted by: aurora at July 14, 2005 07:03 AMoof....I don't really want to go back out and face the ugly mess of hurricane Dennis cleanup but after seeing this, the storm damage doesn't look quite so bad.
Did Boone dye his hair again? I alway thought it was much more blonde.
BG -
Great photoshop skills. Perhaps I am being desensitized - not quite as disturbing this time.
Doesn't Jo Mays know you need to show a little skin.
And Martha LeCroy looks like something from Lynryd Skynyrd - from the neck up of course.
hahahaha, Martha, you are so trim and thin! I hope the other girls aren't jealous that a newby is our 3rd round hottest chick! A true welcome to the Bat-commuinty, Britney!!
Posted by: Mic at July 14, 2005 07:44 AMoh my - quite the sexy poses struck by some of the uh 'girls' -
Now I can't stop giggling -
Much love
Wonder Woman
It will be a miracle if Jessie Crane doesn't give me nightmares. Can anyone confirm or deny whether or not there is a legal precedent regarding lawsuits filed against bloggers for inflicting emotional distress?
Posted by: T.C. Rafters at July 14, 2005 08:12 AMWe had to know it was coming. But, again, the creativity of the new names of the Twins has me giggling!
Posted by: Just Beth at July 14, 2005 08:13 AM"Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the blog..."
Posted by: heraldguy at July 14, 2005 08:18 AMBritney is disturbingly NOT disturbing... S/he's kinda cute, actually. I mean, if you like that sort of thing.
Posted by: Say Rah! at July 14, 2005 08:19 AMI have Jennifer Wilbanks eyes after looking at those pictures this morning.
Thank you very much BG!! (sarcasm alert)
Posted by: TwinsfaninNC at July 14, 2005 08:36 AMDear Batgirl,
I think a round of Hottest Chick is a fantastic welcome for Britney Boone, however queasy I may feel.
Yours,
HooliganKat
Good thing you put the pictures on a link. so i didn't have to see them.
Posted by: Jose at July 14, 2005 08:41 AMthat pic of Martha is just plain wrong. (laughing at "jennifer wilbanks eyes")
Posted by: mnminx at July 14, 2005 09:01 AMWHOOOO HOOO!!
Another round of Twins Hottest Chick! I always love Hottest Chick days. Don't listen to all the people who think it's gross, BG- It's way too funny to be traumatic.
Well, welcome to Minnesota, Mr. Boone.
I imagine someone will steer his attention toward Batgirl at some time today. It's just to delicious to let pass by, especially when he's the new guy.
From saving the world to hottest chick in 24 hours -- but now, Britney, now baseball begins again. You do want Batgirl to continue to feel kindly toward you, don't you?
Posted by: hrunting at July 14, 2005 09:11 AMI don't know what's worse, the pictures, or that I knew they'd be here when I turned on the computer this morning. Welcome to the team, Britney/Bret Boone.
Posted by: ndtf at July 14, 2005 09:17 AMWe knew it. We knew it was coming.
BTW, BG -- you know we bitch and moan and occasionally experience severe seizures as a result of Hottest Chick, but secretly, we love it. It's ongoing proof that we have the coolest team blogger in all of baseball :)
Although at some point, I'd love to see a Hottest Chick -- All Star Edition. You know you want to stick Jeter's head on a girly body. You know you do.
Posted by: CarrieICL at July 14, 2005 09:25 AMpsst! Carrie! Jeter wasn't an all-star this year!
Posted by: ndtf at July 14, 2005 09:28 AMJinx.
Posted by: NY-Brian at July 14, 2005 09:29 AMWelcome, Brit...I mean, Bret! What an honor, he's winning by a landslide!
Posted by: Stacy at July 14, 2005 09:36 AM"You know you want to stick Jeter's head on a girly body. You know you do."
...no, jeter's head on a stick, maybe. (sorry, although kinda gross, i couldn't resist that)
as it happens, we've already seen jeter go girly on an episode of SNL a while back, which was actually quite funny.
To preempt kafumbly, blah blah blah Derek Jeter.
Posted by: Nick at July 14, 2005 09:42 AMWow! This must be very affirming for Bret/Britney.
Posted by: Jeb at July 14, 2005 09:50 AMthank you, Nick.
Posted by: kafumbly at July 14, 2005 10:06 AMActually, I wasn't really referring so much to this year's All-Star players, as I was kind of referring to an All-Star, multi-team Hottest Chick.
Although if BG wanted to do this year's team, I'd take A-Rod as an acceptable substitution.
Posted by: CarrieICL at July 14, 2005 10:15 AMI would have liked to have seen "Louise Rivas".
Posted by: NJ at July 14, 2005 10:16 AMDearest Batgirl -
An 'All Star' Hottest Chick would be fabulous- but please-please spare us from a Randi Johnson model even with the haircut s/he would be most scary!
Much Love
Wonder Woman
All-Star Edition would have to include such favorites as Alexandra Rodriguez,Veronica Guerrero, Ivanna Rodriguez and maybe throw in a little Mary Buehrle and Carol Lee. Of course we could not leave out the Home Run Derby Queen, Bonnie Abreu.
Off topic a bit, but I will be at the game tonight with a sign that says "Welcome to Twins Territory Mr. Boone" Look for it in 214!
Posted by: HooliganKat at July 14, 2005 10:36 AMThe players we really need to be saved from are Ms. Hideka Matusi and Ms. Captina Cheeseburga.
Please BG don't post these if you make an all-star Hottest Chick. As for Jeter if you use a picture of him from when he was young, he might be way to pretty in that sort of disturbing way.
"Ms. Captina Cheeseburga"
I'm crying - this is too funny - I'm sorry - I'm suffering from lack of sleep -
And no I'm not getting any work done -
Kat - I'll see if I can pick out your sign - my eyes aren't soooo good - =) I'll be in 117 =)
much love
wonder woman
For all you poker players,
Is anyone concerned that Jo Mays looks a little bit more like Poker Superstar Chris (Jesus) Ferguson? Click on my name for a link look.
Best, RD
Posted by: RonDavis at July 14, 2005 11:15 AMThis gives new meaning to NSMC. (Shudder)
As I saw the headline "And now presenting" I let out an audible "Oh,no. Oh crap." This was heard by several of my co-workers. I decided to lie and spare them the awful truth. I told them our companies stock had collapsed and we were all out of work. That's much better than having them view Twins Hottest Chick.
An observation:
- I'll bet that Martha LeCroy would be better on teh basepaths than Matthew.
A question:
- Who's body would you put Captain Cheesburgers head on? Rosie ODonnell? Pre-diet Oprah? Miss Piggy? Just wondering.
I was afraid of this.
That's a horrible picture of Jesse Crain. Isn't he, like, a good looking man in real life?
The ones without facial hair have a definite advantage. Without the beard I would have to have gone with Juancarlita, but as it is, it's gotta be Britney.
My God. This is sick. I wish we had an M's blog like this.
Posted by: David J Corcoran at July 14, 2005 12:38 PMDavid J-
Start one!
I am not creative or motivated enough to start one.
Posted by: David J Corcoran at July 14, 2005 12:45 PM--That's a horrible picture of Jesse Crain. Isn't he, like, a good looking man in real life?
yes. yes, he is.
Britney looks like she could be Ron Gardenhire's daughter.
Posted by: frightwig at July 14, 2005 02:43 PMMartha LeCroy looks like that guy from Home Improvement.
Thank you, everyone, for warning me in advance.
That said, thanks, BG! I had to shut the door to my office so everyone didn't hear me laughing...
Britney worked out just a bit TOO well.
Posted by: twink at July 14, 2005 03:51 PMThat is disgusting and sexist; cancel my subscription.
Posted by: al at July 14, 2005 05:50 PMDifferent strokes for different folks. I must really be different, I like Juanella. And still can't stand Britney. Amazing how the new girl on the block all of a sudden gets all the attention. Well, no really, I guess.
Posted by: insider at July 14, 2005 05:53 PMMY GOD...Jesse Crain is supremely hot in person..But that picture...'SHUDDER' I need a lot of booze to get over seeing Jessie.....Where's my hang over bucket..I really need it...
Posted by: Bojangles Crain at July 14, 2005 07:01 PMI have two responses.
"Although if BG wanted to do this year's team, I'd take A-Rod as an acceptable substitution."
Well, he already wears lipstick...
"Britney looks like she could be Ron Gardenhire's daughter."
Fun fact #1: Gardy's daughter was in my graduating class. I know her, though not incredibly well.
Fun Fact #2 (not related but on the subject of knowing twins peoples' kin): One of my guildmates in WoW is Terry Ryan's nephew.
I would have to bet that these mugs showed up in the lockers of the vict... sorry, the honorees...today.
Very Amusing BG,
al? the subscription thing? LOL.
Posted by: BamaTwinsFan at July 14, 2005 10:17 PMI'm never going to be able to look at my darling Boo quite the same way again.
Posted by: infield at July 15, 2005 09:17 AMThat was horrifying, but I think I must ask this one question. Do all of these different rounds mean that there is going to be a finals round? It might be extremely disturbing, but it's akin to a train wreck. You dont want to look at it, but you feel like you have to... and then the blindness comes.
Posted by: TwinsInBoston at July 16, 2005 01:20 AMDear Batgirl, It is VERY heartwarming to see how you have embraced my former Mariner "Boonie" as we called him here is the emerald city. He looks quite fetching as Britney by the way :) I will miss Brett here in Seattle, but I can see he's in good hands with you in his corner! If you decide to come see him play here at Safeco drop me a line, I'll show you around my fair city where Brett once played.
