Spring Training is nigh, and Goober, Sooz, and the BatBaby-To-Be-Named-Later got to spend a little time checking out Hammond Stadium in Fort Myers. The BatBaby said that it was all pretty good but still refuses to come out until pitchers and catchers report.
Congratulations to Sooz & Goober, but instead of "the BatBaby-To-Be", shouldn't that read - the BatBaby to be named later?

Indeed it should. I have righted the egregious wrong. A thousands thank yous.
Gratefully,
Batgirl
I think the BatBaby should get a creeper that says "GIDPs make me cry."
We look forward to the BatBaby's picture/illustration!

Congrats indeed, both for the Spring Trainingness and the BatBaby! Forgive my ignorance, for I was not around BG.com during Spring Training last year - does this mean we get reports from Fort Meyers? If so, squee.
Posted by: FordHoiberg at January 15, 2006 07:57 PMDear Ms. Holberg,
Alas, no. Team Batgirl will be up here in the cold and miserable baseball-less tundra, and is counting on reports from intrepid Batlings bravely journeying to the Heart of Awesomeness.
Regretfully,
Batgirl
I saw some pale folks at the field, but doubt it was the Goob and Sooz. Might of been though. I'll look again tommorrow. Gotta go back and see Mr Mudcat Grant.
No more cows over the fence.

The Bat Store should get hold of a job lot of those anti-depression sun lamps. that and a Strat-o-matic update will see us through till when those pesky pitchers and catchers bother to turn up for work

Congrats to all of Team Batgirl! Mrs. Florida and I are actually expecting a Batling-To-Be-Named-Later. She has vowed not to show her face until the starting infield has been named, though, so I might not meet her until opening day.

Posted by: Florida at January 16, 2006 02:01 PMCongrats to Goober and Sooz. Who's tummy is the arrow pointing to? :)
I am praying that Bat-Baby to be named later turns out to be a slick fielding, power hitting third baseman who will sign for less to play for the Twins...
Wistfully,
LTLC
Someone send those two some sunscreen!!
...and hats!
