BatMiscellany II: BatMiscellany Strikes Back

According to the Strib, Reggie Jackson wants to buy the Twins. Jackson lives in Sin City and it's hard to imagine he wouldn't want to move any team he acquires there. While the prospect of Joe Mauer in Las Vegas could provide an entire season's worth of comedy, maybe he should focus on buying some other girl's team. Stay away, Reggie Jackson. In the spirit of Batgirl's pundit idol, Stephen Colbert, Batgirl is putting Reggie Jackson ON NOTICE.

(Edit It's funny how this story emerges right now, isn't it? If one were a skeptical person, one might call this more blackmail on behalf of the organization for the stadium bill. But maybe one isn't skeptical. That's one's own business. )

In non-Reggie-Jackson-likes-to-torture-puppies news, the NY Post seems to think that the Yankees are going to . Cano seems to be off-limits, and other scuttlebutt has it that he's not enough for the Twins to pull the trigger on that trade. (Good.) Again, Batgirl doesn't see the point in trading Torii for offense. After the probable loss of Jacque (and even Big LeRoy) we're already in a run-producing hole even from last year's pathetic showing. Losing a 25 homer 80 RBI guy to get a 30/100 guy isn't going to cut it. Not to mention the devastating blow to HQ (hotness quotient).

Also, Eric from the sadly extinct and very sassy Baseball Boys has a new baseball blog. Wheee! Check it out at Routine Grounders.
