Until Goober picks a new boyfriend or Joe Mauer gets off the DL, Batgirl has decided to suspend the B.O.D. competition. That does not mean we won't be picking honorary boyfriends in every game, and this gives us a chance to honor some of the players who often get overlooked in the B.O.D. sweepstakes. Like, for instance, Juan Rincon. Dear Boo Berry, Batgirl picked on you a lot in the beginning of the season, because frankly, you weren't doing that well. But now, now! You've made us forget all about LaTroy—and you've saved us from many an ignoble defeat. Like, today in the 7th, when the game threatened to get away from us. Balls were falling in, and Johan threatened to lose his dominance. Jesse Crain came in with one out, two runs scored, and runners on first and third, but he couldn't seem to get an out. Suddenly it was 4-3 Twins, and it looked like they could easily score some more. But they weren't counting on facing Boo Berry, who came in, got a strike out and a ground out, then threw a nine pitch, perfect eighth. And that makes you, Juan Boo Berry Rincon, the Honorary Boyfriend of the Day
