Ummm….huh. Does anyone remember how this thing works? Batgirl never thought she'd see one of these again and as a result moved the intricate and extensive BOD rules out of her mind in favor of things like her frequent flyer numbers and the crisis number hotline. She's not entirely sure, of course, but this B.O.D. seems to be some kind of strange "player of the day" with some people weighted more than others. But strangely none of those people are Johan K. Santana. Weird. Because obviously Mr. Santana is the only thing separating the Twins (not to mention Batgirl) from oblivion. Sure, his April wasn't so good, but we knew that, we're used to that. All that matters is that Johan is back now, sitting down the bitches and keeping them off the basepaths and keeping this band of Whiffy McStrikeoutPantses in the game, and that, Johan Santana, makes you the Boyfriend of the Day.

Posted by: Hannah! at May 2, 2006 09:39 PMHallelujah and Amen.
Posted by: JimCrikket at May 2, 2006 09:43 PMJohan Santana is indeed a beacon in these dark times.
Posted by: Kurtis at May 2, 2006 09:44 PMYay! I'm so proud of my boyfriend!
Posted by: aussie at May 2, 2006 09:45 PMOMG! A REAL, LIVE BOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Stacy at May 2, 2006 09:53 PMVery nice. Johan is a beautiful, beautiful man. I especially liked it when Bert circled his butt.

Posted by: k-bro at May 2, 2006 10:03 PMI'm wondering when Goober and Sooz might come around to admitting that the BatBaby's apparent fascination for Torii was probably just something like gas, or the passing fancy of an infant at most, and that her real first love is the man who melts all our hearts.
Children can be notoriously fickle, anyway, and before she hadn't really been exposed to the full power of Johan's suave charms: the way he wiggles his butt, coos at the batters, and then sits those bitches down. Now that she's seen the magic show, however, is there any way she could not be under his spell?
She's probably dreaming of him, singing her to sleep with his Latin lullabyes, even at this moment. Just look at that little smile. Precious, innit?

Posted by: The Commish at May 2, 2006 11:14 PMHe finally had his best pitch working, although it didn't really look like a changeup with the 'Dome's wonky radar readings. It could also be a new campaign slogan: change up... and sit down.
Posted by: neutrino boi at May 2, 2006 11:36 PMSliders that inspire Batgirl's sasses. Change-ups that sit bitches down on their asses. Fastballs in front of the mightiest swings. These are a few of my favorite things.
Needs work/expansion, but when Johan pitches, I've always got the itch to sing.
Posted by: Bob at May 3, 2006 12:44 AMI am sooooooo happy!! I have to admitt I broke down and prayed and light a candle at church yesterday morning for the Twins. I guess it worked and it is ok with the G man to do that so I will now start doing everytime I am at church on game day. Hope it works.
Posted by: Mary at May 3, 2006 08:11 AMThank Gwynn for Johan Santana. And Bob, strangely enough, that song pops into my head everytime El Presidente takes the mound.
Posted by: Saajak at May 3, 2006 09:12 AMThere were some beautiful strike-outs last night, where the hitter looked truly foolish swinging at them. Much laughter was heard, and there was great rejoicing in the land!
