Man. A great game for, well, most of the boyfriends. All the ones that have a pulse anyway. I don't know what's up with Zombie Fordwalker but I hope that Real Lew fights his way out of the dungeon right quick. Boy, aren't they going to be sorry when Lew breaks out and unleashes some of the moves he's learned playing Doom all these years? But the BODSHC digresses. She'd like to give a huge nod, first of all, to the President of the United States of America for holding the Yanks down until the offense awoke from the coma (Offense in a coma, I know, I know—it's serious. Do you think they'll pull through?) And as for Team Batgirl boyfriends, smoochies to the good Doctor for the RBI double and the 9th inning dinger,and more smoochies to Chairman Mauer for scoring the first two runs of the game. But BG's got to give this one to Shannon Stewart. She takes back everything she said on Monday; all that consistency and competence isn't boring—it's incredibly hot. It's scorching! And when you stepped up to the plate in the 7th with the bases loaded and doubled—well, BG got out the fire extinguishers. And also readied to pronounce you, Shannon Stewart, the Boyfriend of the Day.
Field/Readers 16, Sooz/Stewie 11, Jeb/Lewwww 8, Goober/Dr. Morneau 7, Batgirl/Joe 6.
A fine call.
Honorable mention to the returns of our delightfully winnable Johan, and our oh-so-automatic Joe?
Santana/Nathan rides again!
Posted by: CarrieICL at July 27, 2005 09:54 PMThe most wonderfullest part was having so many potential BODs to choose from. Torii had a lovely night, as well.
I want to be the first to say it: Victory is ours!!
Posted by: Nick at July 27, 2005 09:56 PMIt was a great game... even if I got more than a little nervous in the 8th inning.
Posted by: ndtf at July 27, 2005 09:57 PMhmmm.... I'm feeling light-headed but happy. I TOTALLY agree but demand a turn at the smooching.
And I think I want to add in my boy Joe too. That last strike was just ART.
Posted by: CapitalBabs at July 27, 2005 09:58 PMA well deserved BOD. Though Mauer, Morneau, and Santana all put up good arguments as well :)
Posted by: Torhu at July 27, 2005 09:58 PMnice to see the boys hitting the ball hard, finally. and i, too, can't wait for the fordwalker to come around.
nice work getting the Smiths lyrics in BG.
Posted by: TDJ at July 27, 2005 10:04 PMI was out all evening and when I got in my car in the 8th inning and they said 6-1, I thought, that couldn't be us, deciding a game by more than one run... But it was! And when we got back in the car after the game was over, it was wonderful to hear "Twins even up the series winning 6-1!" Oh the joy!
Posted by: aurora at July 27, 2005 10:08 PMIndeed, a tough call, and many worthy BOD candidates. I think I'd make the same decision though.
Honorable mention goes to the Batling holding the circle-me-Bert sign.
Also, to echo TDJ, nice work on the Smiths reference.
Posted by: Skorch at July 27, 2005 10:23 PMBeing from Canada and all i feel that ustin made a great run for the title of BOD, but Shannon does rightfully deserve it. Good choice!
that is supposed to be Justin, my bad!
Posted by: happycanadian at July 27, 2005 10:26 PMIt was really an all- around great game for most boyfriends.
Great choice, BODSHC!
Posted by: Stacy at July 27, 2005 11:01 PMTotally agree. Shannon killed it tonight.
You know who else did, though? One Michael Cuddyer. He played great. And he needs a slap on the back. He's my boyfriend, I guess, and he needs an "ass slap" here and there. So... You know...
The guy on ESPN talked about how much Boone was going to bring the IF up... I don't disagree. He's pretty good. But so was Punto, tonight. Our diminutive middle infield really clicked tonight.
Posted by: Haplo at July 28, 2005 04:09 AMThe worst part of last night's game? Agonizing over who I thought deserved BOD. I knew BG would do a fineeee job! Congrats Stewie...consistency...not thats HOT!
