Baseball Boyfriend Of The Day honors have to go to Brandon Moss (a.k.a. "The Hot PawSox Outfield Prospect Not Named Jacoby Ellsbury") for jumping in on the spur of the moment to take LF for the Red Sox in his major league debut.
Yes, I confess- the tattoo, grin and forearms are hot.
Sure, he made a rookie fielding mistake on a throw in to 3rd (that should really have gone to 2nd). Sure, he struck out with 2 men on base in the 9th to end the game. But considering he just got called up to The Show, unexpectedly finding himself in the game after Eric Hinske left on bereavement leave and Manny Ramirez got tossed in the 4th (for arguing balls and strikes, natch) and was able to manage to draw a walk, and not make an actual E? I consider that a success.
Plus, who else was I gonna give it to? Curt Schilling?

I am sure he was shocked to get in the game. He did almost hit a homerun in his first at-bat too. Hope your enjoying your trip.
