Congratulations to Goober and Sooz on their little Twins fan to be.
Aunt BG only has one question...will s/he be able to DH?

Posted by: closetJaysfan at October 10, 2005 08:59 PMAwwww...how truckin' sweet is that??
Congrats to Goober and Sooz!!
Congrats also to Auntie Batgirl, Uncle Jeb, and the Batgrandparents!!
I hope he or she is a happy and healthy little Goober.
Posted by: bubblemint at October 10, 2005 09:12 PMLooks to me like he/she has got a catcher's mitt in there. But I guess that wouldn't preclude him or her from DH-ing.
Congrats! In a year or two, s/he can try out for my all-toddler fantasy team. I've got a pitcher and a shortstop already.
Posted by: twink at October 10, 2005 09:16 PMCongratulations to Goober and Sooz! We rejoice over the news of a new Twins fan!
Posted by: Just Beth at October 10, 2005 09:29 PMhooray for Goober and Sooz and the entire Bat Family! that's so great!
if I ever have kids, though, I hope s/he isn't born with a hat on, cuz that can't feel good. just sayin'.
Posted by: kafumbly at October 10, 2005 10:16 PMWoo Hoo!!!

Very cool. Congrats to all!!

Congrats all around BatProcreators...are we talkin' names yet?...'cause you know...a certain someone's Boyfriend of the Year has a name that rocks both the pink and the blue.
Posted by: BAT bandwagoner at October 10, 2005 11:00 PMYay, Goober and Sooz! Please, please, please get that baby a bat as soon as he/she develops gross motor control. We're not asking a lot. Just a good OBP, maybe a few extra base hits every now and then.
Posted by: CarrieICL at October 10, 2005 11:31 PMCongrats guys.
Posted by: Will at October 11, 2005 12:45 AMhey congrats you guys!
Posted by: jill at October 11, 2005 03:22 AMCongratulations Sooz and Goober!
There are some really good baseball themed children's books out there (and some really bad ones)that you can start reading to the baby as soon as the little slugger is born--or before if you are so inclined. My future hall of famers really liked the book "Frank and Ernest Play Ball" by Alexandra Day. I think the Twin's wives put together an ABC book too. We have the Kirby Pucket book, but the kids never seemed to like it all that much.

Hooray! Congratulations Goober and Sooz! And congratulations to Auntie Batgirl!
I can tell you from experience, being an aunt ROCKS!
Posted by: TwinsGoddess at October 11, 2005 07:54 AMYay! Congrats! Additions to the Twins family are ALWAYS good!
Posted by: Mic at October 11, 2005 08:25 AMGreat news. Congratulations!!!
Posted by: Kurtis at October 11, 2005 08:35 AMCongratulations, BatFamily!!
Posted by: wildchild at October 11, 2005 08:49 AMWell done. I'm training my kids to be umpires.
Funny story on A.J. this morning in the NYT. A.J., give us back our attitude!
"Known for barking at opposing hitters in the middle of plate appearances, elbowing them on their way up the first-base line and stepping on their bats instead of picking them up, Pierzynski has done little to change."

Congrats to the whole BatFamily!
Posted by: ndtf at October 11, 2005 09:14 AMCongratulations Sooz and Goober!
Posted by: HooliganKat at October 11, 2005 09:23 AMWonderful news. Conragts!
Posted by: caluofmn1991 at October 11, 2005 10:59 AMThis is wonderful news!!! Congratulations!!!
Posted by: Candace at October 11, 2005 11:49 AMThanks to everyone SO MUCH!!! We will save this for little Anthony John (or Anthonita Joanne) along with the tools of ignorance.
Posted by: Goober at October 11, 2005 12:10 PMA.J???? You're going to name the child A.J.??? What, you want him/her to annoy and infuriate those around him/her? I must say, however, that I wish I'd known where to get one of those in utero Twins caps a few months ago; our little Cameron would have looked even more smashing coming out of the chute with a "TC" adorning his little head. But he's making up for it now - he's seven months old and just got done posing for father-and-son photos with Dad, both sporting Twins outifts and matching caps. He'll be the opening day third baseman in 2026, I promise - he'll have a great glove, and he'll NEVER leave men in scoring position. Never. I promise.
Posted by: adidasman at October 11, 2005 01:37 PMWhew. Go ahead and name the kid AJ.
However, I am laying claim to the name Johan for Jlubby and I's eventual offspring. Dibs!
Posted by: CarrieICL at October 11, 2005 01:56 PMCongratulations to Goober and Sooz! Be sure to keep him/her away from Batkitty 2, too much controversy follows that cat. The next thing you know Batkitty 2 will be trying to pin his catnip-abuse positive tests on Enfamil shots given to him by the Goober baby.
Posted by: Skorch at October 11, 2005 04:23 PMFor years I wanted to name a child "Kirby," so I'm all to aware of the risks of naming a child after sports figures (especially a hothead like AJ).
Posted by: Goober at October 11, 2005 04:39 PMI have an "AJ" its for Alexander Justinian but noone who knows me believes me when I say its not after our hated/loved? former Twin.
What's worse out here so close to Giants land AJ is name that is not uttered in proper company. I guess Giants fan still bears a grudge.
I've already had a "hope he can stay outta double plays when he gets to little league"
I really miss Minnesota.
Congrats again.
Posted by: caluofmn at October 11, 2005 06:53 PMCongrats again and again.
Posted by: jisto at October 11, 2005 07:52 PMCongrats, Goober and Sooz!
Posted by: katharriet at October 11, 2005 10:58 PMOutstanding! Man, people I know are getting pregnant left and right. And some people that I only sorta know over the internet too... Anyways, congratulations!
Posted by: Ump47 at October 11, 2005 11:15 PMCongratulations you guys!! That's awesome! And I love how he/she is already wearing the cap of the proper team :)
