I saw this on the news at 6 - the VP has lots of curly locks =)
Batgirl if you win next year - may I come over for breakfast???

Much Love
Wonder Woman

Well, I can't say no to VP's new look : )

When I first heard we were getting slevless jersys I cringed. Shouldn't the Chairman be modling, insted of Dr. Morneau and Young Bart?

There was a Twins Caravan show live from Winona on FSN tonight. I stumbled across it while flipping channels around 10:15.

Who knew that my dear boyfriend the Nathanest of Joe's would also have the fairest curls in all the land?

Sweet... ;-)

I think OMM and LeCroy should be the models, this way no one will like them.

I have an idea for the Batstore! How about a "No Pixie Vests" shirt?

Since the starting pitchers usually pick the jerseys, we should all write letters to the starting rotation this year and request that the pixie vests not be choosen.

Can I come for breakfast, too?

Do the contest winners live in a castle? It's beautiful, but kind of spooky.

I saw the coverage on the news yesterday. I thought it was very cute how both Joe and Jesse looked like they just got out of bed.

k-bro

Speaking of the Jackal, Bat Girl ... looks like he has a peculiar interest in Spam! Look at this, from yesterday's Caravan (from MLB.com):

Spam I am: One of the last events of the day took place at the Hormel Plant in Austin. Hormel has long been one of the sponsors of the Twins and with the team in town to visit a local school, the group had the team stop by for a quick visit and autograph session with some of the employees.

As part of the visit, each of the four members of the caravan was given a goodie-box with various products such as a SPAM T-shirt and their own supply of SPAM. The players appreciated the generosity of the group and were excited to take something home but Silva was hoping that on his next trip to the plant, he would get to see more of an inside look.

"I wanted to learn more about the plant but we don't have time for that," Silva said. "Next time I hope we have a little bit more time so we can learn about how they make that stuff."

I so do NOT want to know how they make that stuff.

So, is the Jackal planning ahead for his post-baseball career as a canned meat mogul?

I feel sorry for Dr. Morneau and Bart, and I don't think we should subject them to a pixie protest. Won't it be bad enough that they will be MODELING? I think they will feel awkward enough being the MODELS for the new uniforms ('This is why I became a professional ballpayer...sigh...') without a protest from their loving fans. Maybe the rally should take a form more like the "Support our Troops" campaign... "Support our Twins ... Friends don't let friends wear pixie vests."

I must say that it was a wonderful way to start yesterday because channel 9 was with 'CCO at that particular outing and then interviewed my adorable bf, Mr. Nathan.... *sigh* And then to see him dressed REASONABLY (no horribly busy loud shirt to be seen) and all his cute little curls that are usually covered up?? I nearly couldn't focus to drive to work after that.

Aaack! Those pixie-vests truly ARE an abomination. NOOoooooo!

Does anyone know if the Twins are going to let the boys model the Pixie vest sans t-shirts underneath?

My guess is no since that would technically make them out of proper uniform.

Maybe that is part of the 18 and older Twinsfest held later that night?

Geez, Mike Lynch is still around?

Anyway, the Nationals recently had two of our own heroes model new uniforms -- Tex and the Barbarian -- and both of them really seemed to be having a good time of it. I think Tex was a little overwhelmed with all the adulation at first, but the Barbarian's face just lit up when the little kids started coming up to him.

Surely, Batlings can find a way to express their disdain for the pixie vests while showing the love to the players modeling them. Hate the pajamas, love the player.

(And who came up with vests? For a Minnesota team? Don't they know it's COLD in Minnesota? Team needs long-sleeved uniforms, is what. You know, for when they get that outdoor stadium and they have to play through the snow in April and September. Long-sleeved uniforms made out of wind- and water-resistant duck cloth and flannel lining, with a high collar and handwarmer pockets, maybe from LL Bean. Not, shudder, vests.)

How about down vests? That way, if a guy takes one in the ribs, it won't leave a mark.

Dear Batgirl

On the Quickie today one of the guys writes that since the Reds have fired their GM, that it may be a smart move to hire a savvy blogger. Would you be interested in running the Reds ?

p.e.m.

Vote Wayne Kravisky For Reds GM!

Dear Mr. Mike,

Well, at least they wouldn't wear pixie vests.

Sincerely,
BG

Did anyone else see Luis Rivas getting signed to a minor league contract with the Devil Rays? Do they have enough card games down there in Tampa to keep Luivas happy?

Dear BG

Would you trade Griffey to the Twins for Tori and Johan ?

p.e.m.

Thanks, TMS. I was wondering this morning what would become of Rivas. Honestly. I actually had a dream a while back in which Luis and Mrs. Luis had to move into my guest room, because they had no where else to go. (That sort of freaked me out. My level of investment seemed a bit high for the off-season.)

Now, introducing more possible uniforms has always seemed like a ploy to sell more gear to fans. But really -- pixie vests? I'd be shocked if they manage to unload a half-dozen of the things. Has anyone ever seen a fan of one of the other vested teams proudly sporting that look? Really?

Dear Mr. Mike,

Um, no.

Sincerely,
Batgirl

Ironically, the Reds have worn pixie vests (on and off) since the 60's.

Twins signed LNP to a one-year contract...
