The Boyfriend of the Day competition may need some retooling, what with Batgirl's barely legal boyfriend seeing various specialists for the foreseeable future, and Goober's poor boyfriend traded to the BoSox. Many of you have asked what Goober will be doing now—I think he's in a period of shock and will really need some time to sort out his feelings, and look within his heart.
But for today, well, Batgirl's a little torn between Corey Koskie for slamming himself into Jason Varitek, Canadian-Style, Guzie for going 3 for 4 and leading that key double steal, or Dr. Morneau for working a 3-2 count and hitting such a massive sac fly that poor Orlando Cabrera lost his senses and thought he was back in Montreal.
What do you think?
Field/Readers 15, Corey/Jeb 10, Dougie/Goober 9, Sooz/Shannon 7, Joe/Batgirl 6.

Time and again he is pulling through for us with the little things. They are too often overlooked by homers and such. (and come on...more body slamming?...this one's a no-brainer, eh!!)
Canadianly,

Posted by: Old Town at August 1, 2004 03:47 PMI would go with Supernatural Santana

Posted by: Pete at August 1, 2004 04:16 PMGotta go with the Doc.
Posted by: Sam at August 1, 2004 04:21 PMMan, it really is a tough one to call today. The ones you mentioned would all be good choices, as would Johan or even Torii or Lew or any number of guys.
You gotta give Guzzie extra credit for hiking his socks up today a la Dougie. That was sweet.
I can say for certain that Jacque ain't in the running today.
And what was up with Dave McCarty's great stab over there at 1B? For second I thought he was Dougie Defense.
Johan K. Santana, or as I call him, Dr. Diablo.

Posted by: Jesse at August 1, 2004 04:41 PMI'm Canadian, so put my vote down for Koskie.
Posted by: Ironchef at August 1, 2004 05:01 PMI vote for Johan, or Cabrera.
I'll have a full recap from my eye in the sky (sat in dead center) when you post your review of the game ^_^

Posted by: kt at August 1, 2004 06:52 PMSplit it between the Canadians and pass the backbacon, eh.
Posted by: RonDavis at August 1, 2004 08:23 PMCordel...anyone who takes 4 pitches in 2 nights has my vote.

C'mon, the story of the game was the Pedro/Johan duel. Everything else was just verses to the chorus of "Hallelujah!"
Posted by: frightwig at August 1, 2004 10:57 PMOOOh, a tough one for sure. I'm going to have to go with the Guzie/Lew vote. If those guys don't advance on the double steal, they never score on the good Doctor's sac fly.
Posted by: The 7th Angel at August 1, 2004 11:19 PMGotta give it to Koskie.
I love those Red Sox too. They didn't bitch about it all...

And what is with the sudden Canadian feel of the infield?

Posted by: LondonTwin at August 2, 2004 06:36 AMThe good Dr. for a terrific shot in the arm.
Posted by: insider at August 2, 2004 08:24 AMI'm not Canadian and I'm not even sure how to spell "eh?" much less pronounce it but my vote still goes to Corey "the hammer" Koskie. That run, and the way it was scored, really got the crown and the team going.
Way to go Corey!
Dave
Posted by: SDave at August 2, 2004 09:16 AMLew. Yesterday and forever.
Posted by: wendy at August 2, 2004 10:43 AMGotta go with Koskie. He's been taking the hits for the team for a while, but him barreling through to the plate energized the team and the park. Honorable mention to Johan, Guuuuuuuzman, Leeeewwwww, and the good Doctor.
