Well, goodness me. The BODSHC doesn't like doing this, it sets a dangerous precedent and she doesn't want to hear ANY whining another game about co-BODs, because it's not right, it's the boy-friend of the day not the boy-friends of the day. This isn't Utah. But BG clearly said early in the season--you hit a grand slam you get to be BOD, and she doesn't want to go back on her word because maybe next time someone will think--I WOULD hit a grad slam now except BG went back on her word so I really don't feel like it anymore. But at the same time--did you see Liriano? Did you? Really? Did you see him drive in a run? And pitch...AWESOME? You did? Then you understand why you, Francisco "Makes Me De"-liriano and you, T-Fat, are the co-Boyfriends of the Day.

Please, please, please, BODSHC, the preferred spelling is T-Phat! Please click on my name to read my postgame comments. Thank you.
Liriano was great, and the grand slam was cool too, but what is better than THE TWINS WILL HAVE A STADIUM ???
Posted by: Scotty_Dawg at May 19, 2006 10:59 PMBatgirl, you are truly wise. I couldn't even think of a good argument against the BOD choices tonight if I tried!
(and I prefer Spike for Batista. next time you're at a Twins game, and he's up to bat, look up to the jumbotron and check out his signature. it says Spike!)
Posted by: kafumbly at May 19, 2006 11:23 PMMichael Cuddyer stood up, saw that Liriano was in position for the win, and was happy. He then read the update on startribune.com detailing the results of the conference committee and said, "Truly, this is a day to be remembered. A day to hit go-ahead home runs."
And Yea, the Twins did rejoice.
Then just to cement the conclusion that these Twins, these beautiful Lohse-less Twins, are The Revealed Truth, T-Fat comes in and does what T-Fats all around the world are wont to do, which is hitting grand slams.
Posted by: Chris at May 19, 2006 11:43 PMPerhaps wishes of a team sans T-Fat should be whispered more often, if he insists on hitting grand slams on the same evening.
Posted by: Jesse at May 19, 2006 11:56 PMT-Phat - All is forgiven for that graceful missed tag on the rundown the other night.
My guess is that it won't be long (5 days or so) before "Bet they wish he was still in San" Francisco Liriano gets his solo BOD.
In the spirit of multiple boyfriends, I'm with Chris, and say Cuddles deserves it as well (since they can't give him the 'W').
Posted by: Shanghai Twins at May 20, 2006 04:55 AMI never doubted the power of LegoVision, which is like penicillin for sucking, but this last installment was really potent. To conjure a Grand Slam from Batista is just magical. Are there Druids in your ancestry, BG?
Posted by: twayn at May 20, 2006 10:55 AMIt was awesome being in person at Liri's start. I was surrounded by Twins fans and I joked with one that Liri was going to do better in his first at bat than Rondell White has been doing-at the got the RBI single. Watching him pitch makes me wonder if Silva will ever be a starter again.
Also, I still am shocked to have witnessed a Batista grand slam.
I will be in the stands again tonight at Miller Park, so go Twins!!
Posted by: Shaun at May 20, 2006 11:05 AMIn T-Phat's defense, he did make a couple of great plays (including a big double play on a scorching grounder)
So he's did good work last night. ;)

Posted by: Teece at May 20, 2006 11:23 AM...Went to watch the Slam on MLB.com Top Play.
They need to get their act together and show the highlight from the side of the team that played it.
Insted, it's the Brewers annoucers, and they couldn't have sounded less enthused by what happened.
Posted by: Torhu at May 20, 2006 11:34 AMAlthough not quite worthy of BOD accolades last night, I thought Lewwwwwww would at least win a Star of the Game for taking TWO for the team and his lovely sliding catch. But alas - it was not to be. Do it again tonight Lew - but throw in a Grand Slam just for good measure.
Posted by: Jaguar at May 20, 2006 11:35 AMAwesome. Simply awesome.
Posted by: Teece at May 20, 2006 12:05 PMBODSHC--you all made the right choice with co-BODs of T-Phat and Cisco Kid. I agree with Jaguar that Lew Fordwalker deserves mention for taking two for the team and the great catch. Cuddles deserves mention for the HR smash--the actual game winning hit.
At Twins website--Cuddles suggests calling Liriano "Franchise"--may be premature but if this continues...

Posted by: DAM-DC Twins Fan at May 20, 2006 02:19 PMI am sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Hell has frozen over. Barry Bonds has tied the Babe.
Posted by: Twinsboy at May 20, 2006 04:15 PMHey, if it takes 2, 3, 4, 10 or even 26 BoDs per game, I'm all for it. Any game with >= 1 BoD is a good game.
Posted by: timprov at May 20, 2006 05:46 PMTwinsboy, I agree that hell may indeed have frozen over, but the "sign" that provides that indication to me is that the Minnesota Legislature has actually passed a Twins stadium bill!
Can you imagine? Baseball on grass under the sky? What a concept.
Posted by: JimCrikket at May 21, 2006 10:20 AMBefore T-Fat gets a BOD nod, shouldn't somebody out there actually claim him as a Boyfriend first?
Excuse me, but I must break protocol and insist that the Chairman and Cuddles would have been better co-BOD's. One had 3 hits and a stolen base, the other hit the go-ahead HR, and both have documented legions of fans who claim them as Boyfriends and Man-Crushes.
