RD was as surprised as anyone to find Batgirl's keys to the blog under his doorstep this morning, with an admonition to watch over her domain during the spiritual retreat that became necessary after the Grandstand Grill incident. But he will endeavor to keep hope alive, with the help of 3-run homers and Joe Nathan's closing skills.

However, a problem arose that RD needs to turn into an opportunity.

Tonight, RD had the privilege of celebrating the Passover story with food, wine and more food at the West Metro home of some dear friends. After the ritual four glasses of wine, four questions, brisket, gefilte fish and the ransoming of the afikomen by a pair of wayward teens, RD and host Kingfish didn't retreat to the basement until the bottom of the 8th. RD was pleased to see BooBerry return to his set-up role and Joe Nathan's FU-Oakland ninth. RD is sure he saw the closer utter these words after his game-closing third strikes, "You want another slider, dude? Then go to White Castle." RD raised a fifth glass of wine and toasted the season's first winning streak.

Here's the problem: RD missed the first 7 1/2 innings. He knows, from postgame radio chatter and mlb.com, that JustIncredible bombed a 3-run homer and went 3-for-4 and Torii Hunter launched a majestic and important homer and Juan (Jason Doesn't Live Here Anymore) Castro played some excellent defense and Cleveland lost and Frank Thomas' DH-ing a$$ was on the bench all night.

But RD doesn't know how it felt out there on the season's first dollar-a-dog night and the Twins' initial venture into the world of the Pixie Vests.

So, tell me. Close your eyes, pretend you're Batgirl (or RD) and take a paragraph or two to tell everyone what happened through your Twins-addled eyes.

This offer may NEVER be repeated. So act now.
