B.O.D.-worthy performances from lots of quarters, tonight, with Luis Rivas going a single short of the cycle. (Typical of Rivas to miss the easy one.) Shouts out, too, to Joe Nathan for putting himself back together again after putting the first two on. Lew Ford for being his huggable hustling self. 3rd base coach Steve Smith for teaching Batgirl some new words in the ninth inning. And all the boyfriends, who comported themselves quite nicely, with Justin Morneau getting his daily dinger and Corey Koskie switching things up with a run-scoring double. (And I'm sure Joe Mauer helped, too, by sitting on the bench and looking cute.) And then there's Shannon Stewart, so easy to forget what with his constant and steady hitting. He got another lead-off hit today, smashing the 3rd pitch of the game for a single and setting the table for our four-run first inning. He hit another single in the second, and another in the eighth for a 3-5 day, giving the Twins what they missed for so much of the season—runners on base. He only got hit in once, but he kept the pressure on the pitchers and gave us ample opportunity to expand the lead. And that, Shannon Stewart, makes you the Boyfriend of the Day
