B.O.D.

What with the likes of Lew Ford, Justin Morneau, and Little Nicky Punto accounting for just about all of the Twins' offense lately, it's nice when we can give a shout out to an actual, original old-school boyfriend. It's been a long, dry summer for Team Batgirl, boyfriend-wise, with Stewie and the Chairman spending so much time on the DL, and with Koskie and Mientkiewicz doing their best impressions of Mario Mendoza. Koskie hasn't had an actual hit since Memorial Day; when he walked twice yesterday he seemed strangely uncomfortable on the basepaths, like a Marxist in the Mall of America. So tonight, when he got a hit in his first at bat with the bases loaded, he nearly trotted to the dugout out of habit. But no! Those were actual RBI's crossing home, and you almost saw emotion flashing through Corey's eyes as he realized he had actually done it. Then in the 9th, with Hunter on, Corey poked the ball deep to right field giving the Twins a 7-3 lead. That's 2 hits, 4 RBIs—not to mention some fine D on a less than ideal playing field. And that, Corey Koskie, makes you the (Boyfriend of the Day)

Field/Readers 14, Corey/Jeb 9, Dougie/Goober 8, Sooz/Shannon 6, Joe/Batgirl 6.
