B.O.D.

Dear Michael Ryan,

Hey, you remember how we were down 4-0 going into the 4th inning tonight? That sucked. Especially when most of those runs scored when our infield went all Bad News Twins on us in the first. You know what's not fun? Turning on the game at 6:45 to find us down 3-0 with 2 errors. That's not fun.

But you remember how we started scoring in the 4th? That was fun. The Chairman did a nice job leading off with a hit, and Lil Sweetcheeks was all clutchrific, and even the Doctor got a RBI, which was totally awesome. But do you know what was really awesome? When you hit the holy bejeezes out of the ball and tied up the game. That ruled. Not only did we win, but we scored more than two runs in the process and that makes for a happpy Batgirl and gives you, Michael Ryan, the Boyfriend of the Day..

Sincerely,
Batgirl

And an honorable mention for Bret Boone, getting his first hit as a Twin and driving in the game winning rbi.

Congrats to Ryan...

YAY RYAN! Too bad it wasn't on TV to see a Doc-esque blast.

I whole-heartedly agree with your pick, BG. Although I think you already know that I approve. Way to go Mikey and the Twins! Also, props to Boone for his first hit and Ribbie in a twin uniform. but mad props to Ryan!

Also, Lil' Nicky Punto's web gem (TM) was totally the best one of the day... I don't care what the silly second-string Baseball Tonight guys said. Yay Nicky!

just got home from the game, and lemme tell ya, WOW! Michael Ryan was HOT tonight!

and aurora isn't a jinx! although... the Twins didn't score runs until she left to fix her contacts... but Boone got his hit after she came back. so it's all good.

nice job mikey. and Boone, you prob get the honorable mention for your first twins hit. Now its time for you to put together a nice little hitting streak and hit the holy bejezus out of the ball like you used to.

That's a lie! They scored when I was there, remember I yelled now we're only down by 3! And I saw it happen peoplpe, I'm not a jinx.

Great game and good job Michael Ryan.

If I had a nickel for every time Michael Ryan's been BOD...Oh wait, maybe that's why I still have no money.
