Posted by: Mark at May 28, 2006 04:12 PMBOYFRIEND!!!!
Posted by: Jeb at May 28, 2006 04:12 PMHell yes.
Posted by: sacky at May 28, 2006 04:14 PMAnd that's the Ford Long Sunday Drive of the Game.
Posted by: neutrino boi at May 28, 2006 04:34 PMno arguments here.
Posted by: aurora at May 28, 2006 05:04 PMdamn straight! thanks, Lew!
Posted by: kafumbly at May 28, 2006 05:14 PMYay!
Some good play by our guys this weekend, so good to see.
I'll echo Jeb: BOYFRIEND!!!
Can't say I was disappointed in my other two, either. I wish LNP had dome more offensively, but NBP took care of that. :heart: Also, kudos to the Chairman's 3-4 performance.
Posted by: FordHoiberg at May 28, 2006 05:21 PMComing to Metrodomes everywhere this Memorial Day weekend - The Extra Inning Walkoff Home Run. The ending just bLew me away.
Posted by: twayn at May 28, 2006 05:21 PMI took one look at lew today and i said...Bat-girl will make him boyfriend of the day. Oh yes she will
Posted by: Bojee at May 28, 2006 06:37 PMI gotta say... with one swing of the bat he went from Lew "cantwefindsomeonebettertoleadoff" Ford to BOD.
Posted by: JimCrikket at May 28, 2006 07:56 PMSo I was filling out my All Star ballot today at CBP, where Jeb's other boyfriend hit a HR, and I realised that I can't decide on who should be the AL Catcher.
I'm stuck. Should it be Pudge, VMart, Mauer, or Posada ? They all are playing well and its just not as easy as the NL catcher--- Michael"I punched AJ" Barret must win.
Posted by: public enemy mike at May 28, 2006 08:58 PMWait before you fill out your ballot it's the end of may. still a month before the allstar game but if The Chairman is still hitting .340 you have to give it to him homers are overated.
Posted by: Paul at May 28, 2006 10:30 PMDear Mr. Mike,
The Chairman has never gone. I think he should.
Helpfully,
BG
Congrats Lew/Jeb! And BG, I agree-The Chairman should go, just to prove that being consistantly awesome can be rewarded at some points too :)
Posted by: Teece at May 28, 2006 11:18 PMI had to leave for work literally 10 minutes before this all happened. My dad stopped in while he was out and let me know the results...
I was just speechless. And a bit bummed I missed it. But if me leaving lifted whatever jinx I must've placed on the team...I'm all the better.
I still regret that I may never know what the heck happened in the top of the third. Because I heard the first two batters on the radio...and it was a couple of base hits.
What the heck happened in the top of the 10th?
Posted by: Torhu at May 28, 2006 11:48 PMRe: Mauer for All-Star Game
Another one of the many quality Twins bloggers out there wrote up a very persuasive case for him. Click my name for link.
Posted by: neutrino boi at May 29, 2006 12:02 AMLew is always my BOD. But some days are extra-special.
Posted by: lewfan at May 29, 2006 06:58 AM> if The Chairman is still hitting .340
The Chairman is actually hitting .350. *giggle*
Dear Mr. Hu,
The first two batters got on (double and a walk? BG can't remember) then long fly out to Cuddy (and good catch) long fly out to Torii (good catch) and long fly out to Torii redux.
Sincerely,
BG
Johan's hair was indeed the topic of conversation between RD and Sweet-N-Sassy, which was nice because it seemed to indicate that we felt the game was in hand, even when the Twins were trailing. There was even a lazy-Sunday nap to be taken midgame. It was a weekend when the Twins made things look pretty easy, which was aided by the Mariners' situational playbook. When Ichiro is making bad decisions on the bases, that means EVERYONE must be playing tight. It was a nice weekend for the Mariners to come through town.
As for the hair, if we didn't know better, we might have thought that was a hairpiece gone bad. As funny as it looked in the dugout, I really wanted Johan to walk out through the Metrodome doors to see the wind-aided look.
Maybe another time.
In the meantime, RD wishes his biggest worry about Radke tonight was his hair! Enjoy the Holiday afternoon.
Posted by: RonDavis at May 29, 2006 01:44 PMDear BG

Dear RD,
Radke's hair is always perfect.
I predict his pitching tonight will mirror his hair.
Okay, maybe he won't be perfect, but I predict he will be way better than he has been lately.
Please baseball gods, tonight, and for the remainder of his starts this season, help Bradke be the amazing pitcher we know he can be.
Love,
