I've heard rumors that there's something huge up, that Bench has particular knowledge of it, and that he ought to step up to the plate and tell us what's going on. Just saying.

I think it may be even bigger, and be directly Astros related. Ok, I might be making that last part up.

Dusty Baker is going to sign on as bench coach?

NeilT · « **Reply #4 on:** October 04, 2013, 03:04:13 pm »

I heard that too, but it was bullpen coach, and it wasn't the rumor I was thinking of. Bench? BatGirl? I'm calling youse guys out.

Some people need a cat.

A cat can be an awesome pet. Mine is at least.

If that were the rumor I'd heard, it would certainly be their business to make the announcement. I would never out them about something so personal.

ETA: and of course with me this could all be a replay of JimR's birthday.

The two cats who live at our house have two pets: my wife and me.

BudGirl · « **Reply #14 on:** October 04, 2013, 03:53:58 pm »

Everyone who has met Olivia has remarked that she is a great cat. I trained her well, or as well as one can train a cat.

Our cat violently hates me. Our dogs adore me. You need both from time to time.

We hate our cat. We like our dog. We endure the kids.

And that goldfish we bought at Petco a year ago has an admirable will to live. I vow to be more like him or her every day, whatever his or her name is.

That's arguable. This dog is nuts. But he's been in Navasota getting some intense training for the last three months. Hopefully he'll be well behaved and back home in time for the batboy's appearance in a couple of months.

Basically batgirl can't join us at the Cozy Corner because she can't find any leather maternity wear.

The hell she can't.

I just googled 'leather maternity clothes' and got a whole page of Kardashian and thought, You know, fuck this. So, yeah, batgirl's on her own on this deal.

If it's a girl, Noe works well (reminds everyone of being French... sorry Limey). If it's a boy, I shall warn you to make the kid's life a little easier and go with Puma instead. Congrats BG and Bench!

"are expecting BatBoy " I'm thinking it is not a girl.
