Bat Girl retires
This has nothing to do with the Mets, but it has everything to do with this blog, and how and why I started writing a baseball blog. I stumbled onto Bat Girl a few years ago - back in 2004 - when she began the innovation known as “Legovision” - TBF having a soft spot in his heart for Legos, and add baseball - well, there you go.
She announced today that she is shutting the blog down, due to many circumstances, foremost of which is the birth of her son.
If you’ve never read her site before, now is the time. Her writing about baseball is everything I aspire to be, and everything I am not - yet.

CRAP. Dude, I haven’t been able to keep up with other baseball blogs for like a week and now this happens. I think maybe Firefox is not reloading sites properly for me. But, still, argh, this sucks.
it’s sad, because it’s a huge loss. she did what she did so well. the funniest post was the one where she has johan santana coming out of the dugout wearing a smoking jacket, and when she says, “shouldn’t you be sleeping” he replied, “I do not sleep.”
i loved it. i didn’t know a damn thing about the Twins, and I loved it. And now I continually surprise TBF with how much I do know about the Twins.
It’s not all about the numbers.
