Batgirl's out of town 'til Wednesday and blogging will be light for the next few days, but thanks to the wonders of Satellite radio she was able to catch the Twins' EIGHTH WIN IN A ROW. This is awesome, because as far as I can tell, we then lose the next game, win eight more, lose one, win eight, and on and on until the end of the season. Which will have us end up precisely 11 games behind the Tigers.

But that's no matter--tonight's game was rather emblematic of this awesome streak--good pitching (thanks Bradke. Sorry about, um, everything I said before), great hitting (dingers! doubles! dingers and doubles!) and finding a BOD is a little hard, because today they are ALL boyfriends. In fact, you know what?--tonight we close a month of June that has been nothing short of spectacular, and I want each and every Minnesota Twin, from the Littlest Nicky Punto to the biggest Dennys Sampler Reyes to look in the mirror and say, "Today, for giving Batgirl that awesome month of June, I am the BOD!"

But I suppose someone has to get this thing. The player of the game was Tiffles, but one player reached a rather awesome milestone tonight, one which portends very bright things for all of our futures. Justin Morneau hit his 20th homerun tonight--the first Twin to get to 20 HRs in June since Kent Hrbek. And, frankly, every time the good Doctor does something Hrbek-like, BG gets all gooey inside, because the Doc's had the potential to be the second coming of Hrbie for some time, and as he moves from Morneau to Mrneau, that makes him the Boyfriend of the Day.
