Oh heavenly Zeus, Batgirl's just so happy to win. She spent much of the game with her hands pressed against her face, and she now has white palm marks impressed permanently in her face, like a Uruk-Hai with kitties and cable. There were many Twins players who Batgirl wheedled to, cursed at, and wept over during the course of the game—but then there were a few who made this win possible. Mulholland pitched eight strong innings—and best yet only allowed one run in the first, which after the events of the past few days was like a little victory in itself. After sitting on the bench watching Twins batters come on with runners in scoring position for five innings, Jose Offerman came on and laced a two-run double. Then, with a runner on third and the game tied in the bottom of the ninth, our beloved Boo Berry got Ronnie Belliard to fly out. And in the tenth, Cordel Koskie, who had let about 175 scoring opportunities pass him by, came on with Lew Ford on first (after getting plopped on the head...like Ford needs to lose any brain cells) and hit the ball into lake Erie. And then we could all breathe a sigh of relief, for it was Count Chocula time, and boy those frosted puffed pieces with marshmallow bits sure taste delicious. Batgirl cannot chose; today she is a boyfriend pantheist. Terry Mulholland, Juan Boo Berry Rincon, Jose Offerman, Joe Count Chocula Nathan, and Cordel Koskie, you are all the honorary Boyfriends of the Day.
