B.O.D.

The B.O.D. Supreme High Commandress had learned that Goober, after fleeing to Ireland for macramé camp to help him recover from the trauma of having his beloved Dougie traded to Boston to play second base, is ready to declare a new boyfriend. Therefore, the Boyfriend of the Day competition, in "honorary" status for the past couple of weeks, is back on.

As if sensing the change, Shannon Stewart decided to flex his boyfriend muscles for poor Sooz, whom he let down when he landed on the DL with plantar fasciitis. (Ironically, Stewart was felled by the same injury that her "real life" boyfriend, Goober once had, making him lame for weeks.) Stewart began the game by launching Mike Mussina's second pitch deep into the left field seats. Welcome back from the DL Moose. One run is generally all Johan K. "Supernatural" Santana needs, and indeed that held the Twins until the fourth, when Stewart doubled in another run, adding the exclamation point on a three run inning. Later, he slammed into the wall after taking an extra-base hit away from John Olerud, and ended up just a triple short of the cycle. (Though Henry "NASCAR" Blanco did leg out a triple in the 6th, despite Batgirl and Jeb's fervent pleas that he stop at second.) Stewart went 3-5 and helped show the Twins that today, Mussina was human. And that, Shannon Stewart, makes you the Boyfriend of the Day.

Field/Readers 16, Corey/Jeb 11, ?/Goober 9, Shannon/Sooz 9, Joe/Batgirl 6.
