Right now, all the broadcasters and research assistants at Fox and ESPN are up late studying the line-up vards and trying to actually learn something about the two teams playing in the ALCS. ("Hey, did you know there was a Carlos Guillen?") Except, of course, for Joe Buck, who is sitting in a corner holding his framed photograph of Derek Jeter and whispering, "Why? Why?"

Meanwhile, BabyBoof is a Boof (not a Boofina!) The ultrasound did not show which hand he favored, nor his preferred fielding position. So much for modern medicine.

Batgirl will be out of town and away from her computer this week. Team Batgirl and friends may pop in. Please enjoy the ALCS.

BatNote: The BatStore is temporarily down, but shall be up again soon.
