And it came to pass that the Batlings gathered at the Metrodome to witness the battle of the Minnesota Twins and the San Diego Padres, many of them meeting for the first time. Several Batgirl lurkers did appear in their midst, and they were most welcome.

Left to right:

row 1: E, heraldguy, Kristie (lurker), Angela (Kurtis’ wife)

row 2: Mike (lurker), Wee Sister’s Boyfriend (lurker), Wee Sister (lurker), JustBeth, kafumbly, Tumbleweed

row 3: David (lurker), Nick

Kristie (WAKE UP), CapitalBabs, Angela, Kurtis

The Batlings did keep score, yea verily, and…

Oh, I don’t want to do that anymore, I’m bored.

So herald grabbed a beer or two, the Batlings grabbed their scorecards, and they settled in to watch the game.

They cheered when Sweetcheeks stole second.

This is what it looks like to the other team when Torii steals a base. Where is he?! He’s blurry! And they are afraid, because there’s this out-of-focus man racing by, stealing a base.

The Batlings cheered when Shaggy pitched a scoreless 6th.

The Batlings booed when the umps made horrific calls. That ball was SO FAIR!!! He was OUT! Stupid ump, I shake my fist at you!

The Batlings cheered on their healthy, nicely-shaped Twins to take their minds off the ass calls of the umpires.

Well, the female Batlings cheered the Twins’ posteriors. The male Batlings just cheered on the Twins.

And when the game was over, the score not entirely to their liking, the Batlings bid each other adieu… till they should meet again in the blog of Batgirl.
