Hey, did you notice all the props Johan gave to Mauer at the end of the game? Really, maybe Mauer (And will somebody please come up with a nickname for this guy?) should be the Boyfriend of the Day. Really!
No?
Oh, all right. Yes, Johan Santana showed Joe Torre what an All-Star is, striking out 13 (tied for a career high), pitching a complete-game shut out, and generally being freaking incredible. If the pitching staff keeps this up, Batgirl won't even have to kidnap the Hawk!

Thirteen!
Field/Readers 14, Dougie/Goober 8, Corey/Jeb 7, Sooz/Shannon 6, Joe/Batgirl 5

Even though it probably won't happen, I think it would be hillarious if we got Eddie back that way. How could we decide who gets to the ninth? Race to the mound, whoever gets there first gets to close? Nathan has longer legs...
