Shannon Stewart has, very quietly, been getting a hit in every game of the season so far, but when he came up to the plate in the ninth tonight, there was nothing quiet about the situation at all. There were two on for Stewie, thanks to a lead-off single by Lew followed by a walk by Little Nicky Punto, but Troy "Gasp!" Percival was on the mound and the Twins can't score against Troy Percival unless, of course, they break somebody's wrist. But tonight in a game that would have been a demoralizing loss (at least for Batgirl), Shannon Stewart looked into the squinting eyes of Troy Percival and said, "I am not afraid of you." And indeed, he was not—he launched a beautiful double into center field scoring Ford and earning him his first 2005 Boyfriend of the Day. Small consolation, perhaps, after a postgame celebration in which he was humped by Michael Redmond, but we do what we can.
