Oh, my darlings, the time will soon be nigh. The winter has been dark and dreary, but soon sunlight will be upon us all. The Twins season starts on Monday and we may all live again.

With the dawn of the season comes the dawn of Batgirl '05. A few changes this year: Batgirl will post open threads for every game. To prevent the dreaded condition known as Blogger's Burn Out (See: DSM-IVR) Batgirl will not be writing game recaps over the weekends this year, but will be back and open for business Monday mornings with weekend recaps. There will still be open threads, though.

Monday, the Twins open the season in Seattle at 4:00. Please join Batgirl at The Bulldog to watch the game. If you have work, I suggest calling in sick.

Take my hands, my friends, for baseball is back and there is much rejoicing in the BatQuarters.
