Ah baseball, you are a rollercoaster of emotions!
Here we are in the hangover stage of American Idol and its new winner (no I haven’t been watching but it is all that is on the television this morning) and I am feeling good. Why? Well, the Twins had a great game yesterday that I got to follow while watching the big storm roll through downtown Minneapolis. It was a toss-up: Do I watch Dave Dahl, the weather guy, to see if I need to go for shelter or do I turn to FSN to watch the Twins? Uh, no contest…Twins!
We have a break today and then start a homestand against the Toronto Blue Jays. I will be at Friday and Saturday’s games for sure with a possibility of Sundays. I will be attending Friday’s game with my friend Steve who just moved home from California to be a big fancy attorney at a big fancy law firm. Anyways, he scored sweet seats through the firm and we are going to drink beer whilst watching the boys (let’s just say one of us will be watching for baseball and the other will be watching for a new potential boyfriend.) Saturday I will be tagging along to celebrate Bennett’s 2nd birthday. Lucy will be there so I can’t wait to teach her all about the game. Of course, she is two years old so I will probably be trying to: a.) keep her from going over the railing, b.) keep her busy so she doesn’t become destructive and c.) keep her out of my way so I can watch some baseball. Either way, she is going to look freaking adorable in one of her new baseball outfits.
Other baseball news (aka Life beyond the MN Twins)
After arriving home from happy hour I turned on ESPN to catch whatever game they were highlighting for the evening. I guess I should stop being surprised when every game showed by ESPN is a Yankee game. It was a pretty big match-up though: Pettitte for the Yankees and Shilling for the Red Sox.
On a catty/snotty note (remember…this is Lipgloss & Baseball and today’s lipgloss color is Bitchy): I guess the bazillions of dollars that the Yankees are paying for their Dream Team aren’t going to good use. Carl Pavano, the $40 million man, may be at the end of a not-so-productive career while The Rocket is having a shaky liftoff (pun intended). What? Money can’t buy a winning team? In the end the Yankees took the three-game series by winning this game 8-3. Ouch…okay I better say something nice now. I love Jorge Posada. He is such an awesome player and a cool guy.
Kind of baseball related news:
I have added a new link to Risa’s blog. Risa is a fellow Twins fan and was proposed to last year at a Twins game via the Scoreboard monitor. How awesome is that!!!

How sweet! Hey, I am going to start a baseball blog...we'll cover all the bases with Batgirl leaving I hear.
Yeah, I heard about Batgirl leaving. Bummer...she was funny. I guess together we can get something going. You should check out Third Base Line, that's good too. Let me know once you get your baseball blog going.
I need some suggestions for a name for a baseball blog. Yours is very clever. Maybe I would play on my "curlz" name, but it needs to reflect baseball in some way and hopefully that I'm a total Twins geek. Throw me some ideas.
Okay, so I have found a bunch of words that maybe you can arrange to create a title:
Curlz, twist, ringlet, spiral, kink, bat & ball, innings, outs, roster, league, curveball, change-up, full count
You could also do something like:
In Centerfield with Curlz, Rosters & Ringlets, 9 Curly Innings
Those are just some brainstorming ideas.
Hi, please forgive this cut-and-paste comment.
I've started a petition to tell Major League Baseball that a significant number of fans dislike interleague play and want it abolished.
Please visit Petition to End Interleague Play and read it. If you agree, please sign it and consider posting it on this blog.

I'm hoping to spread the word among serious baseball fans. I realize it may do very little, but I thought it was time we stop complaining to each other and tell management how we feel. Thanks!
