All Good Things…

My darlings,

The time has come to end this wonderful adventure. I had hoped to be able to keep it up with Dash, but I simply do not have time to do this blog well, and there is no point in doing it any other way.

In the three years since Goober said, “Hey, why don’t you start a Twins blog?” I’ve had so much fun with this, even during the time of greatest suck. It’s been wonderful playing with all of you. I will miss this, very much.

The BatStore will remain open for awhile more. Batgirl might pop in on Gameday every once in awhile. If you would like to keep track of publications and readings by Batgirl’s close personal friend, please sign up for the mailing list at the bottom of the page here. If you enjoyed The Shadow Thieves or if you would like to help feed Baby Dash, please check out The Siren Song, out June 5. Come to a reading this summer and say hi.

BabyDash is doing wonderfully, and is our miracle. He is just about over all of his preemie issues, and is actually on the growth charts for his age. We have strapped down his right hand in hopes he will provide for us in our dotage. BatMom is teaching him everything she knows.

Thank you for reading and for sharing this with me. Remember, that it’s only a game but it’s the best game on earth and it’s our privilege to watch it, that everything looks better in Legos, and that the word “ass” is inherently funny. And do Batgirl a favor–when your favorite player strikes out with the bases loaded or muffs a bunt or walks a guy in and the crowd around you boos, I want you to stand up and shout at the top of your lungs, heart bursting with unconditional love, THAT’S MY BOYFRIEND.

Thank you all.

In the times of greatest troubles, there emerges one Canadian, who, with his trusty boom boom stick strides in to save the day.

Hair Apparent

From the Strib:

A decision was made during the players’ meeting for everyone to get their hair cut as short as possible. It coincided with both teams honoring the armed forces Saturday.

A few Twins, including Nick Punto and Jason Tyner, resisted as long as they could before going along. One unnamed Twin actually text messaged his wife over the weekend to warn her that she was going to see less of her man.

Batgirl nominates Jason Tyner for the silliest-looking guy with a crew cut–sort of like a badly shaved ferret– but she didn’t get to see the doos for herself. Who looked most like an oddly-coiffed rodent?

Sometimes life is tough. Sometimes you’re a highly touted prospect but every time you come up to the bigs you suck rocks. Plus you’re haunted by an overemotional talking nut cup. But sometimes you get a second chance. And a third. And a fourth. And sometimes, on your fifth chance, you’re brought up over prospects even more highly touted than you once were, and you feel like a total has been even though you look like you’re eight years old and should be out collecting Avatar cards. But then—something crazy happens. You pitch like a guy who’s never been chewed out by his own nut cup. You remind us why you were such a highly touted prospect in the first place, you give us hope for the post-Ponson era, and you receive the Boyfriend of the Day.
