Dearest readers,

Batgirl gets a lot of mail, some of it with questions and comments, some of it filled with sass and whimsy, some of it with epic poetry. But every once in a while, she gets an e-mail that moves her to tears. Here is one from Liz, a Twins fan and precious BatLing who has a serious dilemma as the epic Twins v. Bitch Sox series approaches:

I, a loyal Twins fan and fellow Minnesotan, go to college in Chicago. Yes, Chicago.... In fact, the school I attend is ACROSS THE DAN RYAN from Comisky park (or whatever brand of something they call it now). Now, I attended a baseball game at this park when the Twins came to visit me last fall. I, being the true fan, wore my Twins jersey and braved the walk over the expressway (never fear, I carry pepper spray with me at all times!). Once in the park, I found my seat in the bleachers. All through the game, random things were pelted at me like peanuts and candy. Finally, the evil Sox fans poured beer all over me. My shirt was almost torn off and thrown to the field before I escaped. (this really did happen..I have eyewitnesses). What is wrong with these Sox fans? I wonder if this comes from love of their team or disgrace in them? With the school year approaching once more, I will once again venture across the Dan Ryan to watch my beloved Twins (and Joe Mauer). To prevent bodily harm, do you have any suggestions to safely view this game? ( and please dont say watch it on TV or internet.. not going is NOT and option).

This just breaks Batgirl's heart. Really, is this what our founding fathers fought for? Does anyone have any advice for poor Liz?
