With two outs in the 12th inning of today's interminable, hellacious game, Littly Nicky Punto managed a single against the apparently indomitable Mike "Knock on" Wood. The Twins had left the bases loaded in the 10th, then went down uno-dos-tres in the next two, so precedent was not with our boys. But Joe Mauer had already caught 12 innings in 8 jillion degree heat, and he'd had enough. He lined Wood's 3-1 pitch to right for a single, advancing LNP to 3rd. This allowed Torii Hunter to execute his ingenious master plan--Hunter grounded to 3rd baseperson Mark Teahan but splintered his bat in the process, sending a piece of bat with the ball, confusing the heck out of Teahan, and scoring LNP for the winning run. With a healthy nod towards Hunter's martyred bat, the BODSHC gives Joe Mauer the Boyfriend of the Day..
