BOD: Boyfriend of the Day, April 8, 2009

Welcome to the first of what will be many Boyfriend of the Day posts! Generally I try to get these up before the next game starts, but with day games, I get a bit behind.

 

The point totals will be the same as last year. A BOD (boyfriend of the day) is worth 3 points, a SK (smitten kitten) is worth 2 points, and an HM (honorable mention) is worth 1 point. The points will be accumulated and totaled over the season and the winner will be announced at the end of the season.

I will also try and give totals every once in a while, but I've found over the years that having that for every single game is often what keeps me from posting as often. My solution is that at the end of each series, I will throw up totals in the final BOD post for that series (if it's the last game of the series), or in a quick fanshot.

Zack had a solid outing, going for 6 innings, allowing only 6 base runners and striking out 7 in the process.

Mike Aviles scored both of the Royals' runs last night, going 2 for 3 with a double. And even though he's batting 9th (which upsets my 5th graders to some degree), it seems to be working out thus far.

El Calabozo! That would be bullpen (technically prision cell) in spanish, mis amigos. Juan Cruz and Joakim Soria made sure that Grienke would get a W to start off the season, which is always a good thing.
