Trouble. It starts with a T and that rhymes with B and that stands for bases loaded in the seventh—or at least it does in this tortured allusion that has nothing to do with anything except Batgirl's feeling a little Music Man-ish today. But the point is, there was trouble, right here in River City, or at least in Seattle--with the bases loaded and one out, and Carlos losing his Jackalness, but never fear because the Twins bullpen is on the case. A quick call to the pen, Shaggy Guerrier waltzes in, and—Goodnight ladies—threat over, inning over, Seventy-six trombones, yadda yadda—the whole point is—you may not have a win, but you, Shaggy Guerrier, have your very first Boyfriend of the Day.
Goober/ Justin 3, Sooz/Cuddy 2, BabyDash/Bart 1, Batgirl/ Chairman 1, Readers/Field 1, BatCub/Torii 1, Jeb/LNP 0.
Good pick. Stomach clenching seventh, and ninth, innings. But a win is a win is a win.
Damn, that seventh and ninth. Whew. Time to breathe again.
Posted by: angryscott at April 18, 2007 11:54 PMYay Shaggy! Love the Music Man references; I can now go to sleep, dreaming of Scooby Doo singing 'Madam Librarian' and dancing the Shipoopi.

Was surprised that Gardy didn't hit the Neshek Btton at that juncture..
BG
LOVE the new url logo!
I would now like to ask the BG community to work on world hunger, peace in the middle east and making sure that the infield for the new stadium is the same black dirt used at the old Met...
Nice outing by the Jackal and way to work out of the 7th inning jam.
Shaggy will be so proud to be a BOD
Posted by: Moe at April 19, 2007 12:58 AMWell, we readers finally get a BOD... Sweet.
Posted by: Flip at April 19, 2007 01:08 AMWhat a great addition to my bookmarks; LOVE seeing the logo up there, Batgirl!
Posted by: JetChick at April 19, 2007 07:54 AMThe minute that second out happened, I thought, "that there is our boyfriend of the day." I love it when I'm right.
Hey Batgirl--
I'm dying for a Baby Dash update. How's the guy doing? What are his current stats? Are all signs pointing to him being a leftie?
Way to pitch bueno, Shaggy!
Posted by: FH at April 19, 2007 10:11 AMWith Batgirl's expanding family, each of which (deservedly) having their own boyfriend, I predict the readers are soon going to be at an even more severe disadvantage...
Posted by: Laura at April 19, 2007 10:46 AMWell deserved. There simply was no other pick last night!
Posted by: deanlambrecht at April 19, 2007 10:56 AMThat was a game...and a dent on the nitroglycerin script.
Posted by: talldrinkowater at April 19, 2007 01:36 PMIs it just me or does Nathen like doing that (giving me a heart attack). Congratulations to mr. Guerrier.
Posted by: twin-X at April 19, 2007 02:58 PMwell done Shaggy! very nice impression of Bradke as well. a little nostalgic, perhaps.

Posted by: Rhubarb_Runner at April 19, 2007 03:48 PMBG, just wait about 2 more years and put Dash down in front of "Shipoopi." He'll be singing it for weeks... comedy gold!
If, for some reason, you can't get the original Shirley Jones/Robert Preston version, the Matthew Broderick/Kristin Chenoweth version is a decent substitute. Great dancing even though Ferris Bueller is a total miscast.
