Well, this could probably go to Joe Joe or Stewie or Bradley, a tough choice really, but--can you say no to this face?
BatBabies dig the long ball. And that's why you, Torii Hunter, are the Boyfriend of the Day.

Posted by Batgirl at May 3, 2006 09:34 PMWhat about bradke's totally awesome pitching?
But I guess...no, there's no saying no to that face.
Posted by: goesboom at May 3, 2006 09:37 PMWhile I'm always up for my boy Torii getting the BOD honors, shouldn't some of the BOD love go Bradke's way tonight? 6 scoreless innings? This is Bradke we are talking about...tends to let multiple runs score in the first few innings before he gets in a rhythm.
Still, glad that Torii got out of his slump and hit a hr with someone actually on base.
Posted by: Shelley at May 3, 2006 10:12 PMI do think however, that Liriano has finally earned himself a BG nickname, unless he has one already?
Posted by: Twinsboy at May 3, 2006 10:14 PMJust back from the ballpark. What a total pleasure it was to see a wily veteran like Bradke pitch such a vintage game. And then to come home and see that gorgeous picture of the Batbaby--I became a grandpa for the first time seven months ago, and the Batbaby is very, very close to being as cute as The Cutest Granddaughter In The World. Bliss to you and Jeb. And keep the blog going if you can, even from Down East--it's a definite bright spot for those of us who read it. Go Twins!
Posted by: opposite field at May 3, 2006 10:37 PMOhh cute baby!! But I would have given Brad some BOD love!!
Much Love
Wonder Woman
I hate to differ with cute babies, but my BOD would be Emil Brown for that kick ass bat break he did after Radke struck him out. I've never seen that before and it was way cooler than Bo Jackson's thigh break.
Posted by: Vince at May 3, 2006 11:49 PMI would have voted for Bradke, we need to show the love for our pitchers. But the beauty of the BOD is that we get to discuss who helped us WIN the game the most! My hope is that I disagree with the BOD only another 85 times!
Posted by: Scotty_Dawg at May 3, 2006 11:51 PMBaby?! Looks like LeCroy to me.
Posted by: scarlic at May 4, 2006 06:43 AMTorii did post the first home-run by a clean-up hitter this season, as DicknBert mentioned enough times last night to stick in my head this morning. But Brad-K was awesome! Now if only Silva can earn some BOD love tonight...
My vote for Liriano's nickname: 'Cisco Kid.
Posted by: smaki at May 4, 2006 07:59 AMI wouldn't be able to say no to that face either. Should we just name Torii the Boyfriend of the Year now?
Posted by: Rach at May 4, 2006 08:42 AMIt has to be Bradke! It has to be! That performance was amazi--What's that? Ohhh, don't cry sweetie. We can let it be Torii. Bradke will understand.
Apparently no one can say no to such a cute sweet little thing.
(Twinsboy-We've been calling Liriano "Frisco" or "Frisco Kid" (with a few Cisco Kids thrown in). I had no choice, really, because I just can't spell Francisco right twice in a row.)
Posted by: JustBeth at May 4, 2006 08:44 AMNow way Torii is BOD, unless I'm missing something. Brad all the way. Cute kid though!
Posted by: insider at May 4, 2006 11:16 AM*Thinks about Bradke's amazing outing*
*Looks at BatBaby*
Yeah, Torii wins. ;)
Posted by: Stacy at May 4, 2006 11:51 AMOh my gosh, I can't believe how much she's changed in just ONE MONTH. WOW.
Remember that the BOD is not always the player of the game. It's the Official Boyfriend that distinguishes himself the most, and if no boyfriends distinguish themselves, THEN it goes to another player.

Posted by: Batgirl at May 4, 2006 05:19 PMHoly smokes! I think *I* want a photo of Batbaby to carry around. She is so (with 6 o's) adorable! Torii could be on his way to BFoY.
