I am happy that you got those letters out there BG, you are doing a service to society. Hopefully, Mr. Boone will have a better second game.

Dear BG,

What a great way to end the correspondence. Let me know what the two of you end up talking about.

Anxiously wating,
Olbie

that should be *waiting*, not wating! my bad!

Much love,
Olbie

I was just thinking that looking at Boone's performance tonight.

Few probably also remeber that Sewart made the first and third outs of the first inning in the first game he played.

Seeing the results of the game weren't too disappointing. A good pitching performance and unfortunately a not so good hitting one.

My only cause for worry is with CHW playing Cleveland...no matter who wins there...we're in trouble.

Torhu,

I agree about the Bitch Sox - Toons matchup. However, my logic went as follows: if we must lose, I would rather see the Toons lose than the Bitchy ones, as we do not lose any ground in our division for the all important wild card.

That being said, hopefully Bradke will pitch a gem tomorrow and the Bitch Sox begin a losing streak of epic proportion!

ABBA isn't cool?

It was quite encouraging to hear all the cheers for Boone. And the butt-patting was commented on in our little corner of the dome as well. Good job on the letters BG. Letter writing is becoming a lost art.

wonderful letters! I'd like to give it a try... *ahem*

Dear Ass Bats,

Go away!

Fist-shakingly,

kafumbly

Dear Twins,
I will be at the games Saturday and Sunday. I sure would be grateful if you would make the trip worth my time by winning.

Hopefully,
ndtf

Dear Batlings,
If anyone would like to join several other batlings and me, we will be in section 214. Hope to see you all there!

Excitedly,
ndtf

Dearest Batgirl - the art of letter writing is certainly not lost with you =)

I love Vlad - he's a good guy -and yes -he would look simply fabulous in blue!

Brendan Donnelly - I don't like you and you are a cheater.

Mad Props - to Mr. LeCroy -nice unassisted doubleplay -

Kyle - learn to hold the lead - as my sister said just because Jarrod Washburn gave up two runs -there was no need to 'one up' him by giving up three -

Ok BB's fan club was in attendance - and I swear they had white shirts that spelled out BOONE's FARM?? That cannot be - someone help!!

Kat I saw you - well I saw your sign since you were hidden behind it.

I miss LNP at second all ready - sighh....

Finally - it's the pants - the pants - BB's pants are a bit on the snuggly side - I'm not complaining - it's just something I and Infield noticed =)

Happy Friday

Much Love
Wonder Woman

I also saw Kat's sign. I even took a picture of it.

And ditto on the MAD PROPS to poohbear on the unassisted DP.

YAY!! I'm glad people could see it, I didn't know if I wrote it big enough, but well, the paper was only so big.

Nice letter to Donnelly, once at the head, then to the midsection? CHEAP!! I think it may have been some form of retaliation as I think I saw Torii sneaking some signs from the catcher when Jacque got his base hit, and well we all know how Torii gets when he gets hit by a pitch, I suppose they thought Stewie was a better target.

I have a letter I hope you could send for me Batgirl:

Dear Justin,
Please do not have at-bats like that anymore, I love you sweetheart, but that was not hot. Don't worry I'm not mad or anything, just don't do it again. On a positive note, from my view in 214, you have a much better butt than Bret Boone. And really the sign was just to welcome him, you are still very much my boyfriend, just stop sucking.

XOXOXO,
HooliganKat

Wonder Woman - They showed them on TV and indeed, their shirts did spell out Boones Farm. I chuckled appreciatively before finishing my bottle Strawberry Kiwi wine.

Yours in cheap drunks,

Skorch

I think that Batgirl is stealing my mail. That explains why none of Michael Cuddyer's requests for dates have come through. Except the one to Brendan Donnelly. She wrote that one on her own. Because ABBA is cool. Or I have tragically bad taste in music. And, reading this, I'm afraid I'll have to admit to having really bad taste in music.

Seriously, those were all the thoughts going through my head. Except Batgirl's letters were much wittier than the thoughts in my head. Thank you for writing!

Yours,
Just Beth

I hope Boone is able to do well for us. I'd love another year like Stewie's. It would make me so happy.

ABBA is cool. Barry Manilow, not cool.

Beanie babies in the rear window of your car, that is also not cool.

But knowing all the words to "Waterloo," now that's cool.

And anyway, any time one hears the words "Kyle Lohse" and "pitchers' duel" in the same sentence, one has to know no good can come of it.

Great letters Batgirl. Maybe you could also send a letter to whoever is in charge of the music at the Dome. God Bless the USA has returned and as a result, my super Twins fan husband is threatening to cancel our season tickets. Perhaps you could let them know that it would be okay to play a classy patriotic song such as God Bless America, America the Beautiful or This Land is Your Land.

Dear Curt Schilling

Welcome back, Meat.

Dear BG-

"I kick your ass all over the place," is pure comedy and why?

Because adding "ass" to anything makes it comedy.

It's comedy because it's true.

Chuckingly,

-el diablo

Dearest Batgirl

Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't the Twins from Two Cities just like the LA/Anaheim Angels ?

Confuzzled,

mike

Ice is confused. He has never heard of the word "shandt" before. Please help :(

Dear Mr. Mike,

The Twins, if we believe what we are told, are from a whole nebulous region known as Twins Territory. I believe Jefferson purchased it. Also, our name isn't silly.

Sincerely,
BG

Dear BG-

el diablo realizes that "Chuckingly" actually makes no sense.

No sense at all.

Chucklingly,

-el diablo

Does Washington D.C. count as a second city? Sure, we're not there anymore. But I live in New Mexico, though I'm originally FROM Minnesota. So, technically, I'm from two places. I think. Right?

Aw hell. Where's Brenden Donnelly when I really need a knock in the head?

Yes, your team had the good sense to use the name of the state, which is what the Angels should return to, but I'm starting to get used to all of those A's.

I always thought one of the Twins' mascots looked eerily like Sacajawea

Dear Mr. Ice,

Sometimes BG doesn't proofread so well, especially when she gets home from the game late.

Regretfully,
BG

Dearest Skorch -

Thanks - and I guess I don't get it - does BB own a farm - will some kind M's fan enlighten me??

ABBA is cool - Barry is not - unless I'm having Margaritas at the Copacabana - with LNP.

The Angels will always be the California Angels to me - because that's how I knew them when I was growing up - And Mr.Donnelly will never be as cool as Brian Downey in the big eye wear department.

I know our state bird is loon - but it just didn't work when a loon was the Twins Mascot for awhile - I don't remember Sacajewea(sp)being our 'mascot' perhaps you were looking at the packaging of the Land o Lakes butter??

Much Love
Wonder Woman

I was referring, in jest, to one of the current "twins" they use as a mascot on occasion looking like Sacajewea.It was just a play off of BG's Jefferson thinger.

Dear Wonder Woman

Boone's Farm is a very inexpensive wine, best served in a brown paper bag.

mike

Dearest Mike -

I gotcha - my bad - I have been operating on little sleep the last few days- just didn't get it =)

Much Love
Wonder Woman

Bat-Girl, I really like your letter to LeCroy. It made me laugh really hard.

You know what? Booner and Mauer need those fancy contacts that that upstart Brian Roberts wears. I know Joe was fitted for 'em. So where are they? And Booner... well, the guy needs something. Maybe seeing better will help the guy talk a walk, or get down on the ball.

Hey Bat Girl. I can't see most Twins games on tv but I have always followed them, and proudly own a Twins tee shirt. I enjoyed your game summary and it was far more enjoyable and informative than a clip show. I'm sorry though, Boone isn't going to put up ANYTHING like Shannon Stewart numbers but he might help do something? Any ideas who the Mariner's are going to get in exchange???

Dear Mark,

Some PTBNL, not on the 40 man roster. Possibly also a using batting cage.

Helpfully,
BG

...and a Lew Ford is my Boyfriend T-shirt.

A friend just told me he heard the Phillies are shopping Jim Thome and one of the teams they said that was on the list was the Twins. I didn't know you needed a DH. I think much like Mr Boone, the Phils would eat salary.

Dearest Mike -

if that were true about Jimmy - well I'd run naked across the field -I don't think it - is no offense - oh man - that would be waaayyyyyyyyy cool - Jimmy loves to hit at the Dome but he needs to stop getting hurt - he's had a very off season - tho my sister would be in absolute baseball heaven if this came to fruition!!

Are you serious about the Boone's Farm thing???

Much love
Wonder Woman

Yes. Boone's Farm is cheap wine. You can Google boone's fam wine and see what you get.

I think that Thome's numbers are down and he has lost a little weight, just like Giambi and Pudge. Could it be Thome was juicing ?

I'm a little curious about something I noticed at last nights game. It's well posted outside the metrodome that you can't bring guns in. They even checked my girlfriends purse, which isn't even big enough to conceal a spitball launcher. Yet Vlad Guerrero is allowed to bring in that cannon he has attached to his shoulder? It just doesn't seem right.

Jimmy juicing NEVER - he's a home grown farm boy -- he had a bad back in spring training(which I think he's had before) - then he got hurt early in the season - he's on the DL now for a pulled something or other - sorry I cannot remember - I believe his numbers have always been a pretty gradual climb- I don't think they've ever been eh one season then BOOM the next -

I believe you - I'm not a wine drinker - so I don't know anything about wine cheap or otherwise -

Thome's contract has 3 years left at $14mil-ish a season. I can't see the Phils picking up 06, 07 & 08, and I really can't see the Twins paying him 14 mil a season. Not sure why the Twins would have been on the list.

I went to the game yesterday, and all the downtime in which nothing happened enabled me to write some letters, too!

Dear Bret Boone: I think your nick name should be string, because you had to stall the game when you broke your glove string in the first inning after the first out. But, there is a catch. You can't use your nickname until you START HITTING!!! HOn, you left at least four people on base yesterday (and that was in the three bats that i can remember.) thats not cool.

Un-awed, Hannah

Dear other Minnesota Twins-
When someone gets on base when no one is out yet, normally it is a good idea to get them to score somehow. just a suggestion.
Suggestion-ly, Hannah

Dear Juan Castro- please don't foul bunt on a 2 strike count.
thanks, Hannah

I'm starting to get the feeling that Batgirl has a new Boyfriend. I mean, "Sweetcheeks," make-out fantasies, "Dear Torii, Call me"? Methinks our poor Chairman is a cuckhold!

Hmm Frightwig, you have a point. Care to fess up Batgirl? Or are we allowed multiple boyfriends. Cause then I can have two!

you can have as many boyfriends as you want. I have four!

...yeah....Mike is starting to look like he's wearing a muumuu in that red tent shirt thing...maybe he's channelling Tommy Lasorda. Who, alas, is currently paying for his years of eating Dodger dogs with heart problems.

You know things are bad when I find myself getting all misty-eyed over Tommy Lasorda.

You guys like Frankie Rodriguez? (Like some of those called strikes the ump made???) I guess everybody's gotta have one of those Cult of Personality closers these days, don't they. He gives me the willies because he throws just waaay too many in the dirt. "Relief" is not what I feel when he's on the mound - more a sense of gut-tightening foreboding. He's a little scary.

But not as scary as Vladi. Ever get a good look at him during a tv broadcast? He has crazy eyes, and he smiles at - how shall we say it? - inappropriate times. He's one little wash of neurotransmitters away from being someone you see on those Wanted posters in the Post Office. But fortunately, his powers are being harnessed for good and no, he would look dreadful in blue.

By the way, we are not in love with Donnelly either.

And yup, Boonie is finefinefine, but not as fine as Steve Finley.

--LA Lurkers

Dear Cuddy,

I am sorry you got hurt. I am also sorry that you got blamed for losses when you left runners on base. I know you were only trying to fit in. If you want to get back on the field, I would suggest a bit of pepper as the coaches seem to appreciate the ability to catch ground balls and throw them to first in their infielders.

Thoughtfully,

LTLC

LLLLEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW,
I just had to yell it as you have not provided me with much opportunity to yell lately. I know you don't want to take any attention away from the new guy, but I think he would appreciate your reckless energy as much as we have.

Encouragingly,

LTLC

BG,
Thanks for the reminder to catch up on my correspondence. I am so bad at remembering to write.

LTLC

Dear Mr. Rivas,

Whatever else happens, I still believe in you.

Sincerely,

DMW

Do you mean a used batting cage? If so I wouldn't mind having it, although the Twins might want to keep it the way they score runs. Who is a Kirby Puckett like hitter out of this group? Maybe Mauer in a few years? A player to be named later excites me!! The whole mysteriousness...

Very nice, BG!

are you sure you aren't a New Yorker? you are a true hoot.

you are welcome in the bronx anyday!

cheerios
