In a surprising move, the Twins have outrighted Batkitty #2 to Rochester. Said Twins GM Terry Ryan, "This was a hard decision. Batkitty #2 has really impressed us, despite the whole humping thing. He's really played his tail off. But we need to make some moves."
Ryan expressed that he hoped to invite Batkitty #2 to spring training. The Batkitty could not be reached for comment.
I think I speak for all of us when I say that perhaps Batkitty #2 will perform better than some of this years "All-Stars."

I'm outraged!!
Good luck Batkitty -
Much Love
Wonder Woman -
Be glad you're not a Braves Fan today - now that was heartbreaking - ok maybe had they not blown a five run lead - but still painful!
That's so upsetting! BatKitty #2 was an asset to the team and will be missed if he can't be signed again this spring.
{Gets on the phone to see if BatKitty #2 can be signed to the JustTeam}
Posted by: Just Beth at October 9, 2005 09:23 PMDo BatKitties have 9 options?
Posted by: BAT bandwagoner at October 9, 2005 09:57 PMI hate that I keep losing all my boyfriends.
Posted by: FordHoiberg at October 9, 2005 10:27 PM(Okay, by "all" I meant "Tyner and BatKitty #2.)
Posted by: FordHoiberg at October 9, 2005 10:29 PMI think BatKitty #2 would look great in Yankee Pinstripes.
Posted by: mike at October 9, 2005 11:14 PMBatKitty #2 was never the same after the declawing. He couldn't get the same grip on the 2-seamer, and his knuckle-curve? Forget about it.
Posted by: Pander at October 10, 2005 04:50 AMbtw, Mike? I hear Cashman's targetting a 3-year, $40 mil deal. BatKitty's represented by Scott Boras, who's expected to make a lot of money and then go to hell.
Posted by: Pander at October 10, 2005 04:51 AMBat Kitty needs to remember that after you catch a fly, you throw it to the cutoff man, don't eat it.
Posted by: PJ at October 10, 2005 08:21 AMIf only Batkitty #2 could hit lefties . . .
Posted by: Me at October 10, 2005 09:03 AMIf only BK-2 would work off some of his tummy and show a little versatility in the field....
Posted by: frightwig at October 10, 2005 10:13 AMThis has certainly been a tough year for the batkitties :( What, this coming after the steroid violation?
Posted by: Stacy at October 10, 2005 10:25 AMwell, as long as BatKitty #2 is still with the organization, that's what's important, right? there's still the chance that he'll make the team out of spring training, or he could be called up during the season.
Posted by: kafumbly at October 10, 2005 11:27 AMI feel the need to make a Rock Cat pun here... but I've got nothing.
Posted by: neutrino boi at October 10, 2005 11:57 AMWhy do I get the feeling that this decision was made due to BK2 off field activities???
Posted by: caluofmn at October 10, 2005 03:46 PMWhat color is BK2? If he is black(here I go bringing race into sports) maybe he can get some extra work during the Halloween season to make up for the pay cut??
Posted by: soccerfan at October 10, 2005 05:07 PMWell I know the Mariners need a good kitty in LF or a DH . Someone with "left hand sock", as the GM likes to say. Does bat kitty have a "left hand sock"?

Actually, it would be nice if all the teams just had a day when they would drop all the players they are going to drop anyways. Like a week after the World Series. It would be like pulling a ban aid off really fast; just rip 'you five dudes are gone.' Instead of having it come out one player at a time.

Anyways, good luck BK #2, you'll be missed.

If only we could build a new litter box...
