Children ruin everything

I'm in no hurry to have children in life, mainly because they're parasitic creatures that do nothing but spend your money while ruining what little life you have. I mean, I'm sure I'll have one or two sometime as old-age insurance (much more relevant now that social security will be gone soon), but I'm certainly waiting on that for quite some time.

Case in point of how children ruin your life: Bat Girl is shutting down her blog in what could be one of the saddest days in the short history of blogs.

For those who don't know, Bat Girl (née Ann Ursu) built up quit a following in Twins territory for ehr exhaustive re-caps of every game (a pretty impressive feat for a 162-game season), as well as coming up with a great roster of nicknames, the concept of the Boyfriend of the Day, and of course, Legovision, the only true way to enjoy baseball. The greatness of her blog was pretty much summed up in her slogan "Less Stats, More Sass," the kind of slogan that could only make sense in a baseball blog.

How is this relelvant? Bat Girl has had to step down because her newborn child is simply taking up too much of her time. It's truly a sad day to see Bat Girl hang it up, because she was probably the most entertaining baseball analyst I've ever come across, and she created not only a great lexicon, but truly a familial feel amongst Twinkie fans. She will be sorely missed.
