In Search of the Moral High Ground: a Reenactment

Chicago at Twins. Weekend Round-Up.
Friday. Bitch Sox 2, Twins 1. (10 innings)
Saturday. Twins 5, Bitch Sox 0.
Sunday. Bitch Sox 2, Twins 1.

Okay. Listen. If we're not going to score any runs, which apparently, despite Batgirl's very simple Plan For Ultimate Victory, we're not, what we need to do is flash some leather. And by flash some leather, I don't mean letting balls go through our legs. Poor LNP, Lew Fordwalker, and Jesse Crain had games they'd like deleted from their memory chips this weekend—which is too bad, because the Twins made some mad hot plays this series. To celebrate the good and encourage the players to keep reaching for those stars, Team Batgirl is presenting the weekend's best plays, in Legovision. First, the honorable mentions:

And now Team Batgirl is proud to present Batgirl's Play of the Weekend.

Please to sit down. Thank you. Good-bye.

Congratulations to Johan Santana for Batgirl's Play of the Weekend. Now, please, Mr. President, never do that again.

Dingers for Dollars update: No dingers today, alas, but there's a retroactive pledge from infield, a thanks-for-beating-the-Bitch Sox-on-Sat from TribeScribe, and today $5 for a Boo appearance, and RD pledged a dollar per point differential on the Vikings loss plus a $10 Bears win bonus, so that makes $44 on the day and $1063 TOTAL for hurricane relief.

Now, let's hit some more dingers. Come on guys, it's for charity.
