Really this thing should go to LNP for blowing the bunt in the eighth and inspiring the Twins' offense to rally on his behalf. It's so typical of this team--for days they didn't bother to score any runs for themselves because that would be greedy, but when they need to pick up a teammate, well, hello boom boom room! This is a tough call tonight, and Ramon Ortiz deserves at least--in the words of Batling Scott--the comeback player of the second week of April award, not to mention a big smooch from TR. But rules is rules, and there were four Team Batgirl Boyfriends who rallied to Punto's aid, and this one goes to the Chairman, for hitting in the first post-Easter go ahead run. That's the way you do it, guys--see, it wasn't so hard--and it gives Chairman Mauer the Boyfriend of the Day.
Goober/ Justin 2, BabyDash/Bart 1, Sooz/Cuddy 1, Batgirl/ Chairman 1, BatCub/Torii 0, Jeb/LNP 0, Readers/Field 0.
Posted by Batgirl at April 11, 2007 10:38 PMshouldnt this BOD go to kyle farnsworth?
Posted by: sh at April 11, 2007 11:02 PMI was going to say that.
Oh what a good inning that was.
And Twitchy kept the Yanks in check so we kept that lead.
Posted by: Shelley at April 11, 2007 11:05 PMYes, many thanks to the Pr0f3ss0r. Way to go, Kyle!
That was a fun game. I'm surprised I still have a voice after that eighth, man.
Congrats to the Chairman on his first of many BODs!
Posted by: FordHoiberg at April 11, 2007 11:13 PMI think we should have co-BODs tonight-Razor Ramon Ortiz and the Chairman.
Great job to the Twins tonight and hopefully 4 games against the D-Rays will help keep the bats going.
Posted by: Shaun at April 11, 2007 11:24 PMi agree, Shaun - Ortiz more than deserves a share of B.O.D. for that. plus, it seems like there is really good chemistry with him in the clubhouse. see the Strib article on the game - http://www.startribune.com/509/story/1114911.html
i like his quote about how he got out of the 4th inning jam - "You know what happened? I've got a good pitching coach."
how cool is that?
Posted by: dfb at April 12, 2007 08:05 AMSoon Little Nicky and I will ride his magic f@%&*$! unicorn rough shod over all other BOD contenders!
Posted by: Jeb at April 12, 2007 08:42 AMFYI - you all should read Will Young's song for Sr Ortiz - http://www.wyoung.net/twins/?p=299
most excellent! (i especially dig the stanza about A-Rod.)
Posted by: dfb at April 12, 2007 08:48 AMAt the risk of incurring the wrath of BG, Ortiz is so much the BOD that not giving it to him invalidates the whole dingus.
Posted by: billhedrick at April 12, 2007 09:02 AMAgree with Bill- Ortiz was fucking spectacular that it'd be a travesty if he did not get it. I especially like how emotional and high-energy he is too- just fun to watch him.

Posted by: barty_is_my_love_pie at April 12, 2007 09:20 AMI think Batgirl is abusing her BODSHC powers to benefit the Batgirl/Chairman ticket. Ortiz pitched 8 innings, with just 3 hits and 1 ER! Mauer on the other hand went 1 for 3 and was the only player to ground into a double play...
Posted by: oof at April 12, 2007 01:57 PMI think it can be co BOD Mauer did get the go ahead RBI.

"Does the BODSHC accept whining and/or talkbalk? Under no circumstances. The BODSHC's rule is absolute."
Here's to many more close BODs.
