Over the past week, Batgirl has received plenty of pictures from talented and generous correspondents in Fort Myers. Here are a few, for your Monday morning pleasure.
Two weeks 'til baseball.
From insider:
Lew shows off his sexy farmer's tan.
I like it so much better when I don't have pneumonia.
Viva Venezuela!
Put me in coach.
"So then, Harmon, you say 'Nothing is everywhere either present or absent.' Works every time!"
And then from JimCrikket:
That's so Mauer...
How far back do you think that thing goes?
I'm never washing my back again.
"See, this is the proper grip for a sinker."
And Scott S.:
I run like a duck.
I WILL be the boyfriend of the year, I WILL!
Look! Look! Joe! I'm Paul Bunyan!
I hope the VP Tiffles doesn't notice I'm scratching my butt.
In memoriam....
Yay for Spring Pics! Did you guys hear about Serra?
Posted by: Twinsboy at March 19, 2006 08:14 PMOops. I mean Ruben.
Posted by: Twinsboy at March 19, 2006 08:15 PMI would be amazed if Sierra makes the roster. Too many youngsters have shown much mettle.
Posted by: Scotty_Dawg at March 19, 2006 08:37 PMYay for pictures! They make the days go faster.
Posted by: Annun at March 19, 2006 09:05 PMI love these pics. Baseball is so beautiful
Posted by: Rivasfan at March 19, 2006 09:20 PMPlease, of course Sierra's going to make the team. He's a 40 year old, limited to pinch hitting who is going to clog up our roster and keep useful players in Rochester. Gardy can't resist, even with the latest injury.
Posted by: Mike at March 20, 2006 06:15 AM*swoon* ok... that picture of Joe Nathan is so pretty. (BG knew I would say that!!) But he is without facial hair and STILL pretty..
not all of our guys can say that you know. He makes it work BOTH ways.. *SIGHS HAPPILY*
Posted by: CapitalBabs at March 20, 2006 10:21 AMAwesome pics!!! 2 more weeks!!!
Posted by: Mj Buck at March 20, 2006 10:27 AMI don't see Nathan in any of these pics. The last one is Lil' Rod and Tiffee. Is that where you're looking Babs?
Posted by: ForMorneau at March 20, 2006 10:59 AMWoah... I totally thought that was the Veep, too. Do we have a Junior VP on our hands?
Posted by: wc at March 20, 2006 12:04 PMOK, who looks "pastier", the Doctor or Lew? However, compared to last year at this time the Doctor looks positively glowing!
... and that's about as good of shape as I've seen Harmon in years. Awesome to see him in uniform!
Posted by: e-9 at March 20, 2006 12:08 PMThat picture of the tribute to Kirby is great. It's still hard to swallow that he's gone.
Posted by: BadAndy48 at March 20, 2006 12:26 PMThe doctor may be pasty but he still looks yummy - but he has something on his face...
The pics are awesome!
Posted by: MrsMorneau at March 20, 2006 12:34 PMI can't really speak to the relative yumminess, so I'll take your word on it.
Excellent pics! It makes me feel all warm inside.
Posted by: e-9 at March 20, 2006 12:57 PMInsider - will you be at any of the games Wed, Thurs, or Fri??
Posted by: She-Ra, P.O.P. at March 20, 2006 01:01 PMthose pics just make me want to go outside. Then i look outside and i change my mind.
aside to She-Ra (Happy Birthday!)
Posted by: aurora at March 20, 2006 03:59 PM
I am loathe to correct you BG, but I, too, believe that is Terry Tiffee and not Joe Nathan pictured with the butt-scratching Jason Bartlett...
Aurora - THANKS! It took a bit of head-scratching to figure out how you knew that.
Posted by: She-Ra, P.O.P. at March 20, 2006 04:19 PMI can not tell you how excited I am for baseball to start! These pictures make me so happy...
Posted by: Hannah! at March 20, 2006 04:32 PMIt's my mad ninja skills, she-ra. do not doubt my mad ninja skills.
these pictures make me wish for warmth.
Posted by: aurora at March 20, 2006 04:44 PMThanks everyone for the pictures--can hardly wait for Easter Weekend when I can see "my boys" again.
One comment: As I was looking at Mr Killebrew I realized that this many years after playing he is in much better shape (literally) than Hrbek and Pucket were there last few years. And he seems to be as nice as you could hope for.
Thanks St. Peter and Gardy for inviting him back.
Posted by: Sandee at March 20, 2006 05:50 PMThe pictures are just what I needed. I leave for my Euro trip in less than a week. I have an English paper due on Fri. The classic isn't on because basketball's in OT. To top that the Red Sox traded Bronson Arroyo for Willy Mo Pena of the Reds, which means he's in the National Leauge so thats gonna make it even harder for me to see him. I love baseball but it can drive me CRAZY! HOME OPENER IN 22 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Mel at March 20, 2006 08:28 PMPERFECT pics!!
Posted by: Stacy at March 20, 2006 08:35 PM*gasp* Tiffee is a mini-Nathan without the facial hair???!?!??!?
*ponders* certain things are becoming clearer to me now...
Posted by: CapitalBabs at March 21, 2006 08:57 AMShe-Ra, P.O.P and Wonder Woman, I'll be there looking for you. You two aren't hard to miss!
Posted by: insider at March 21, 2006 04:19 PMTiffee as the mini-VP . . .? What does that make him, Senate pro tem?
