Batgirl is no fan of Captain Cheeseburger Sabathia. You know why? Throwing at people isn't nice. You end up doing things like ruining their entire season, and then they get pneumonia and appendicitis and the plague and it's pretty much all your fault, and then the guy isn't the same for, like, two years. He also goes something like 0-12 against you because you're a big fat meanie and he's a nice little Canadian boy, and they might talk tough with their hockey and stuff, but inside they are just big ol' pudding pops and terrified of psychotic people. But, you know what? That nice little Canadian boy? He's found his form again and he's not scared of you any more. And tonight he went 3-4 against you, including an infield base hit, which is kind of hysterical because he can't run that much faster than you. And then when the score is 4-2 in the 8th, he gets up and hits the ball a jillion moose antlers. And it didn't help win the game or anything, but watching CC do the ol' home run swivel was so much fun, and then he threw a huge tantrum about there being a hole in the mound (ahem) and it just made Batgirl so very very happy, really, so very, very happy, and that's why you, Dr. Morneau, are the Boyfriend of the Day.
(A big BOD shout out to LNP for textbook baserunning and serious Tiny Super Hero hustle. And to the Twins trainer, who is going to be extremely busy.)
Goober/Doctor: 16; Readers/The Field: 13; Batbaby/Torii: 8; Batgirl/Chairman 6; Jeb/ Lewwww3; Sooz/Stewie 3.
BG,
You out did yourself tonight. It was fun to see CC pought about the mound, like his fat ass didn't create the hole in the first place. Just sitting here praying to the baseball gods that Torii is ok!
Mrnie!
Posted by: TD at July 15, 2006 08:58 PMI would so love to hear Gordo or Dazzle describe one of the Doctor's shots (Doctor. Shots. heh) in terms of moose antlers.
Nicely done, Doctor.
Posted by: Jim H. at July 15, 2006 08:59 PMThe Doctor is in (C.C's head now). Love it!!!!!!
Posted by: TAR at July 15, 2006 09:20 PMI didn't realize Justin was 3 for 4. I guess I've just come to take his offensive prowess for granted.
Posted by: Kurtis at July 15, 2006 09:26 PMCan we give a special Girlfriend of the Day shoutout to Kelly "Mrs Terry" Tiffee, for giving birth to TWIN boys today?
Posted by: heraldguy at July 15, 2006 09:39 PMJust a triple away from the cycle. I think we'd have had a long wait for that.
Speaking of the trainer: Stewart to the DL. Name=link
Posted by: neutrino boi at July 15, 2006 09:50 PMTwins for the Twin...is that a first? Congrats to the Tiffee family!
Posted by: Erin at July 15, 2006 09:57 PMDennis Hocking had twins.
Posted by: Kurtis at July 15, 2006 10:02 PMOww....I'm afriad to say that we shouldn't expect to see much of Stewie for the rest of the season:-(
BG, I think you should consider allowing for substitute (call-up?) Boyfriends if one (or multiple now) of them land on the DL.
Posted by: Adam at July 15, 2006 10:04 PMOk I know this is random, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this. Dennys Reyes is only alone when he pitches. He always walks around with a ball boy (I think, I can't tell for sure from my Cheap Seats). They walk out to the bullpen together before the game, then it seems like in the third they walk back to the dugout together, and then in the fifth walk back out. It's so funny seeing them do this every game. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a story behind it?
Posted by: Anna at July 15, 2006 10:10 PMAnna, that would be Jesse Crain who hangs out with Dennys Sampler. :-) (Jesse's my boyfriend, so I totally watch all that, too. hee)
and congrats to Dr Mrneau! what a fun game!
Posted by: kafumbly at July 15, 2006 10:17 PMThanks, kafumbly. At first I thought it might be Crain, but then I thought he looked too small. But I suppose most people look small next to Dennys;-)
Posted by: Anna at July 15, 2006 10:23 PMThey say that Dennys and Sabathia occasionally take walks together between games. But nobody knows for sure as you're not supposed to look directly at it.
Posted by: Torhu at July 15, 2006 10:28 PMIt's not like anyone's tempted to do so, Torhu.
Posted by: Kurtis at July 15, 2006 10:36 PMHooray for the Good Doctor! 2 out of 3 from the Native Americans, lets make it 3 out of 4 tomorow.
Jeez, our outfielders are dropping like flies! Must be something out there contaminating the turf and not the infield dirt. Anyone hear how long Hunter and Stewie are planning to be out?
Posted by: L.H. girl at July 15, 2006 11:00 PMJust wanted to say this, because I noticed it, and because it has to be said -- heraldguy called for a special Girlfriend of the Day for Mrs. Terry Tiffee, or a GOD. It just turned ou that way. Isn't that fun?
Posted by: Brooklynegg at July 15, 2006 11:01 PMWord is that Stewie is going back on the DL and Mr. Rondell White is on his way back up.
No update on Hunter yet.
Posted by: Shaun at July 15, 2006 11:15 PMThank you to the Twins from a sweaty, retarded softball player who was in the Firemen's (yum) tournament in Bloomington in the blazing, ridiculous heat this weekend. We didn't win (thank god...no more games), but so happy to check the score in the air conditioning tonight and see a W against the Tribe.
Fingers crossed for Stewie and Sweet Cheeks.
Posted by: Ames at July 15, 2006 11:23 PMHow funny was it that Meatloaf was there to participate in T.C.'s home run contest?
Congrats, Justin. That hit was sweet. Even random Alaskan guy who was sitting next to me said "Wow, that's a lot for him." Hee.
LNP had a KICKASS game. I heart you, Tiny Superhero!
Posted by: FH at July 15, 2006 11:43 PMKurtis, it's hard not to be curiousof your surroundings when you notice that there seems to suddenly be an absence of sunlight.
Posted by: Torhu at July 15, 2006 11:54 PMI'm amazed Dennys was able to take the mound without Captain Cheeseburger trying to eat him.
Posted by: Will at July 15, 2006 11:55 PMWhenever we beat Sabathia, which isn't often, I'm always reminded of that great Captain Cheeseburger haiku from a couple years ago. You know, the one with the last line of "Put your hat on straight." Genius!
Posted by: Roscoe at July 16, 2006 01:06 AMEnjoyed the post today Batgirl, thanks. Also loved flipping stations to watch the replay of Justin rounding first after his homer. He had a look on his face like he was trying to think up some good swear words. Let's hope that makes it full circle for the young Canuck. Big Papi's only 8 HRs away.
Posted by: nailbiter at July 16, 2006 12:14 PMHow often has LNP been tossed out of a game?
Posted by: Packerchu at July 16, 2006 12:45 PMMrs. Tyner gives birth to twins the day after Mr. Tyner get his 1st BOD. A coincidence? I think not.
Posted by: PJStP at July 16, 2006 02:52 PMYpy mean Mrs. Tiffee?
Posted by: Nora at July 16, 2006 03:51 PMYou mean Mrs. Tiffee
Posted by: Nora at July 16, 2006 03:51 PMThe good thing about the good Doctor's home run is that it meant Mr. Sabathia lost the game all by himself. He had two unearned runs early in the game, so the home run meant *he* gave up one more run than his team scored, so he couldn't even blame his team for the loss. And that makes it all the more special.
