"Hey," said Shannon Stewart upon coming off the DL, "What the heck happened to my position?"
"Oh, well, there's this Jason Kubel kid, and, well..."
"And my line-up slot? What the heck happened there?"
"Oh, well, you know, the line-up's working really well now and..."
"I see," said Shannon Stewart.
"No, I mean, Stewie, you've meant so much to our team, we just don't want to hurry you back and..."
"Uh-huh"
"...And, you know, we're just going to start you slow."
"I see," said Shannon Stewart. "Well, how about this. How about I go 4-4 and get the Boyfriend of the Day? Would that be slow enough for you?"

Posted by Batgirl at July 1, 2006 10:44 PMCongrats and a BIG "welcome back" to Stewie. I bet Sooz is REALLY happy right about now.
Posted by: FordHoiberg at July 1, 2006 10:52 PMIf Stewart is only *half* as good offensively as he was tonight...then hey. I think we've got that DH spot filled. At least for the time being.
:)
Posted by: Torhu at July 1, 2006 10:59 PMAlright, what exactly does Cuddles have to do? I thought for sure he would get it tonight. Granted, Stew had a GREAT game, but without Cuddles triple, the game doesn't get tied....
3-5, 2 Doubles, 1 Game Tie-ing Triple, 2 Runs and 2 RBIs....
I LOVE this Game!
Posted by: AZTwins at July 1, 2006 11:11 PMI was at the game tonight, and I kept getting Stuart and Mauer confused ;-)
Wounderful game all around!
Posted by: StuckInFargo at July 1, 2006 11:13 PMCudd is doing fine. The whole team is doing fine. I can't find much to complain about. And a great (!) game for Stew. Totally deserved BOD.
Posted by: Megan at July 1, 2006 11:20 PMRight decision. 4-4, and getting the game-winning RBI by drawing a walk, is totally what BOD is all about. Put another way, maybe he could have honored the Navy and the Marines with an "NSMC" cap?
Posted by: Kurtis at July 1, 2006 11:33 PMAnyone else notice that the Tiggers lost to the Pirates today? It was a case of the Cubbies... errors, errors and more errors. We gained a game, guys! Take what we can get right?
Although I'm enjoying my time out here in California, I do not like keeping track of the scores via my cell phone.
They announce All-Star picks tomorrow. At least I can watch that on ESPN here. Mauer Power!
Posted by: Shelley at July 1, 2006 11:37 PMSo, I go upstairs to watch "Munich" (didn't like it) when the score is 7-6 Brewers. I was heartbroken. I thought it would last longer than that.
After the movie, I decide to come downstairs and find out what happened.
WOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOO!
Freakin' awesome comeback. Welcome back Stewart. There's that DH we've been hoping for! Go Pirates, way to job to us and beat the Tigers! Now, if we can just do something about the Sox...
Posted by: Pun at July 2, 2006 12:00 AMAZTwins,
In response to your question, Cuddyer needs to be selected by one of the members of Team Bat-Girl as an official boyfriend, and then he will be considered for B.O.D. Otherwise, if no Official Boyfriends distinguish themselves, a boyfriend from "The Field" will be selected. It's all explained in the Boyfriend FAQ.
Helpfully,
Donnalove
The Twins had won 16 out of their last 17, and that was before trading Rondell for Stewie on the roster!
Stewie, it's good to have you back. Please don't go anywhere again.
Oh, and Stewie, don't glare at Kubel on the bench anymore. It makes him nervous in the field.
Posted by: Will at July 2, 2006 12:52 AMPut JustBeth or Laurie on Team Batgirl.
That said, Stewie was AWESOME tonight! Full approval!
Posted by: aurora at July 2, 2006 08:43 AM" My boyfriend's back, and there's gonna be trouble. Hey-la, hey-la, my boyfriend's back!" Welcome back Stewie, we missed you.
Posted by: ysolla at July 2, 2006 10:03 AMLew and I continue to bide our time but when we return the reckoning will be terrible.
Posted by: Jeb at July 2, 2006 11:03 AMMichael Cuddyer called. He wants to remind everyone that triples are hot.
***SPOILER ALERT***
Click my name if you want to see who is going to be named to the All-Star rosters tonight...
/no, I'm not pulling your leg
Posted by: Eric at July 2, 2006 01:05 PMDear Sooz (and ysolla),
We are all glad to have your boyfriend back.

Methinks it should have been MC with his Hammer
triple that put the game way.
*note the fun and exiting word play*
