Sometimes all it takes is a little motivation. After an 0-fer on opening day, Jason Bartlett was feeling a little glum. It didn't help when he booted a ball early in tonight's game for the first error of the year for the Twins. In fact, it looked like it was going to be a downer of a year for Bartlett, until just before the seventh inning, Steve Liddle put his arm around him and congratulated him.
"For what?"
"You're Baby Dash's boyfriend!"
"I am?"
"Yeah! You must be so flattered. That is one adorable baby!"
Well, that was enough for J. Bart, and when he came up in the seventh with a tie game and Jason Tyner in scoring position, he knew what he had to do. "For BabyDash!" he cried as he doinked the ball to left. The ball dropped, BabyDash cheered, and Jason Bartlett got the Boyfriend of the Day.
