Why is this BatBaby smiling?
Because her boyfriend broke up a scoreless game, that's why. And because BatBabies dig the long ball. And because that losing streak was getting way old. And it's about time Sweetcheeks made something happen, and she wants to encourage him to do it again. And all that makes you, Sweetcheeks, the Boyfriend of the Day.

Is that LNP sliding into first???
Posted by: brianS at July 9, 2006 12:18 AMYay for Sweetcheeks. It WAS about time. I almost lost faith. Almost.
Posted by: Shelley at July 9, 2006 12:23 AMNO LOSING FAITH. PERIOD.
*fair weather fans not allowed*
FACE!! CUTE!!
Posted by: BAT bandwagoner at July 9, 2006 12:46 AMAw, Liriano goes unrecognised? He deserved that one.
Posted by: Leon at July 9, 2006 12:49 AMSo cute! Keep bringing her smiles, Torii!
Posted by: Bob at July 9, 2006 01:01 AMLeon, you tread on dangerous ground, my friend.
Not many survive a challenge to the wisdom of the BODSHC.
Posted by: Eric at July 9, 2006 03:37 AMIt actually fits...Liriano should go unrecognized for everything ever, now, it seems. When he's 20-1 and got a 0.90 ERA and fails to win the Cy Young or the Rookie of Year, it will be totally on par. (somewhat in jest)
Posted by: Josh at July 9, 2006 03:49 AMI think it was a great game. Cisco did his stuff, of course with no problem, I think Nathan almost gave up a run, so he could get another save and I think Torii was sick of everyone saying that he isn't pulling his weight. And the best thing about last night was that Justin kept his streak alive!!
Posted by: Stacy Parks at July 9, 2006 07:41 AMMr. Dog Trainer ("Ranger - SIT!") *was* brilliant. My knee-jerk was to start arguing with the BODSHC. But without getting too geeky, they're right:
Record when scoring first: 29 - 11
Record when not: 18 - 27
::: Going to take more thorazine to control the latent stat-geek tendencies :::
Posted by: tgd at July 9, 2006 09:48 AMGreat game last night, just caught the last few innings (of course, when all the scoring is over!!)
Congrats to Torii for making batbaby smile- what a cute smile it is!
Just something I noticed- it seems kind of cheap that Mauer is (except last night) doing so awesome but has less B.O.D.s than Torii. But in NO WAY am I questioning the BODSHC- that would be suicidal.
Posted by: L.H. girl at July 9, 2006 11:41 AMEveryone knows Liriano is the real BOD and the real all-star
Posted by: Kevin at July 9, 2006 11:51 AMPlease reread the rules of the BOD contest on the side and you will see that, in fact, the BOD should almost always go to a Team Batgirl Boyfriend. The fact that Mr. Liriano already has three only shows how exceptional he has been. As for Mr. Mauer, noted Blogger Will Young actually found throuogh a mathematical study that as of some time in June he'd only been the MVP of the game once all season long. Mr. Mauer's hits tend to be more regular and less in game-winning situations. And if you recall back to April and May, Mr. Hunter tended to win a lot of games, and that's when he really racked up the totals.
Posted by: Batgirl at July 9, 2006 12:55 PMUm...you guys and gals know that the BOD is not a player of the game award, right?
Posted by: Jeb at July 9, 2006 01:09 PMDear Batgirl,
Would it be possible to get a Mauerist Benevolence t-shirt in the style of the women's cap sleeve tee?
Wonderingly,
Annun
well what the hell does liriano have to do to become a team batgirl boyfriend?? he's 10-1 1.83 for god's sake!
Posted by: Kevin at July 9, 2006 01:21 PMDeep breaths now. Boyfriends are not added or changed arbitrarily mid-season.
Posted by: Eric at July 9, 2006 01:27 PMDear Mr. Kevin:
For the explanation of the BOD competition, please look here:

Sincerely,
Batgirl
I'm good with the choice. : )
If people complain too much, there may be no more.
Posted by: Megan at July 9, 2006 02:08 PMMegan brings up a good point. The Twins might read the site and say, "Oh, there's a lot of arguing about BOD. If we lose, they can't argue about it."
So, recall that Batgirl is the BODSHC, and I accept her choice. Besides, Torii totally did happily surprise me today, and that's worth a gold star from JustBeth!
