BOD: Boyfriend of the Day, May 6th, 2009 PLUS a special BOD Poll!

PrintThis is a special edition BOD in that I have a bit of a problem. My totals are very skewed! I have players such as Callaspo and Crisp that have been freaking BOSS all season but are lagging in points. I want to make sure that players that are doing well day to day get a little love. So What I'm going to do is give you a chance to vote on players you think have contributed over the past 1/6th (roughly) of the season. So leave a comment with that players name in the subject, and if you want to vote, reply to THAT comment with something like +1 or second or third or what have you. Try not to let the May games affect you but if they do, so be it!
The player with the most points will get...oh, 10 BOD points, second place will get 7 BOD points, and third place will get 5 BOD points. If there are other players who have multiple votes but not enough for placing, I will award them 1-3 BOD points, depending on the number of votes for them.
This new segment? We're gonna call it the BOD Monthly Socialism Experiment. Because I feel a little like Stalin right now, minus the 'stache and the killing of millions. Either that or I feel like Bowser when he gets all badass in the last five turns of a Mario Party game.
Boyfriend of the Day
Pop out the bubbly, cuz Ponson managed to get a win! He went 7.1 innings, allowing only one run. True he had 1 K and 1 walk but...well, last night was a miracle, folks.

Mark "I love my maaaam" Teahen is getting the nod here for a nice solo shot and going 3 for 5 with 3 RBIs. Mmm, toasty.
Honorable Mentions
Erm. Yeah. Call this a continuation of the BOD Socialism Experiment. But...that full moon really does work, doesn't it? As someone said last night, who would have thought that the Royals would win a game with Pontoon, HoRam, AND The Farnsy all going. We witnessed a miracle last night, folks, and it was magical. Hold on to that feeling.

Callaspo Yes, Jacobs No
Jacobs and Buck have been similarly atrocious and opportunistic. I’m fine with them staying together, but not at the top. Give AC something, since he’s been raking though not always dramatically.

You just voted for Jacobs!
because his name was in the subject line, HAHAHA HAHAHAHA!!!!
Go Royals!
and i nominate olivo's karate stance as a BOY candidate
branyan wanted nothing to do with the olivo-san.
first socialism vote
I have obvious bias that I’m not trying to hide because I picked Coco as my BODOY (boyfriend of the day of the year). But +1 for Coco. When’s the last time a Royal was near the top in the league for walks? It seems like his defense has not only improved the center-field defense but is has allowed for DeJesus to make some great plays that other Royals left-fielders wouldn’t have in the past. He hasn’t had too many key hits since the first week, but he always seems to get on base. I can rally all I want for my guy because if ZacKKKK doesn’t slow down he will run away with this competition.
go royals
Why not Dan G for bod?
The 2009 Official You Got Rocked by the Royals and Sent to the Minors List
1. Josh Rupe TEX April 17
2. David Purcey TOR May 1
3. Brian Burres TOR May 1
4. Bryan Bullington TOR May 1
Willie 'I'm the second coming of Teahen' Bloomquist for BOD 2nd place
Teahen should be +5
While Bloomie should get some love aswell, he is moving around positions nearly as much as Marky which is allowing some younger players some time up. Willie is also doing a darn good job with pitch selection. Some times even if you get out, taking a hurler 10 throws will set up something good in the next at bat, inning, or a few innings.
This will help in the long run.

Like I said above, +1
"It’s not about the guacamole itself," Greinke said. "I just don’t want to let them win."

loyal2,
with all this talk of ‘socialism’ in this thread, you just submarined your chances of ever running for president. ever.

haha
I would never take that job even if it were offered to me. Stick me in a room full of children who need taught and I am there.

and how is that different from the State of the Union speech?

Wow
Well, my gamble on Aviles isn’t going so well, so far. SO FAR. But, it’s surprising that he has maintained a fairly good ranking based on his actual performance this year.
I’m confident that he’ll come roaring back but don’t think anyone will finish above Mr. Greinke if he can win it every time he goes out.
First.
