Friends,

It has been a pleasure this week to offer up thoughts and sass in Batgirl's absence. I suspect that reading these pages has been more fun than much of what we have watched this week at the Metrodome. That's as much due to your words as to anything that RD has written.

Sometimes, however, thoughts and sass aren't enough.

On Wednesday, as JustIncredible crossed home plate with the winning run on Lewwww's ninth-inning triple, I turned to my dear Sweet-N-Sassy and, between the cheers, said: "You know, the boys have played pretty well when we're in attendance."

How well?

Well, in the last 8 games that we have attended together, the Twins are 7-1. The only loss in that span came on a night when we were sitting in a suite and, owing to the social graces required of such a situation, unable to pay proper attention to the game itself.

So it seems like there's one last heretofore-unexplored option for saving the season: RD and Sweet-N-Sassy are going to Seattle next week to turn things around.

If this works -- in other words, if the Twins win the 2 games that we plan to attend at Safeco Field -- we fully expect ticket donations (and airfare) from all corners of the Bat-Kingdom so that we can continue our mission.

Thanks for your support.
