A Halloween miracle? (http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/courtside/2009/11/a-halloween-mir.html)
By Jeff McDonald

Contrary to the news that was coming out of the AT&T Center last night, it appears the bat that Manu Ginobili karate-chopped into submission may have, in fact, lived.

According to a team official, staff members went to retrieve the bat for testing after he game, but it had disappeared. The team is currently operating under the assumption that the bat escaped into the San Antonio night, and now roams the countryside as a vampire preying on sheep and goats and chupacabra.

A citywide bat hunt is currently underway. The bat measures about 55 millimeters, head to toe, and weighs approximately 24 grams. It has an imprint of Ginobili's left hand across its cheek. The bat is considered armed and dangerous, and is seriously considering becoming a Kings fan.

Anyone with knowledge of the bat's whereabouts is asked to please keep the information to themselves, and to stop being so gullible.

what do they mean it disappeared? They left it in an ashtray in the parking lot or what?

You'd think they'd have secured the little guy.

McDonald has been getting better. It's takes a year just like the players to get acclimated.

It's trying to be funny because it's clearly a conspiracy to a cover-up!!!! No one can find the bat. That's sort of like how no one can find JFK's missing brain. Think about it Manu is from Argentina where beef consumption is extremely high, thus he's already on PETA's watch list. If the bat dies, then Manu gets pied by a PETA agent and shame gets brought to the Spurs.

Quick, someone contact Galileo and then after that get Donaghy!!!

Fruit bats are common in South America, where they are known as rats with wings. The dreaded flying rat bat is dangerous, unless it has slurped up its fruit juice within the past 24 hours.

If you got slapped bya giant 200 times your size onto a hardwood floor, what are the chances you'd recover and fly away? Not likely.

The spurs organization set every thing up.

I even think that it was not a real bat and not real ... manu

Manu said that when he picked it up it was still alive, and I believe him on that because a hit like that would probably only stun a bat (don't ask how I know this, but I do - animals are tough).

However, what the guy he handed it to did with it - who knows?

As for the story, yet another clunker by McDonald. They still haven't found a replacement for this guy?

I'm a journalist here in Brazil and I know McDonald sucks in San Antonio, Sao Paulo or any other part of the world. He's terrible
