Will Timo Perez starting this game thread bring us good luck and a lot of clutch hits? I sure hope so... GO TIMO!!!

Marlins claim RHP Franklyn German off waivers from the Tigers and designate RHP Nate Bump for assignment.

Pierzynski will be a manager before Baines will.

To throw out the first pitch I guess.

The Reds have their lineup totally screwed up. Dunn should be at 1B, Freel should be starting in LF and leading off, and Aurilia should be at 2B. Instead, they have Hatteberg at 1B, Dunn and his butcher glove in LF, and crappy Womack at 2B and leading off.

Was the s*** dripping down his pant leg visible on TV?

Happy Birthday. Birthday beating in the chat room tomorrow.

3 walks to Derek Lee today. The Reds will once again waste a great offense this season.

They also have one of the worst defenses in baseball. Dunn is a hack in LF and Griffey is running in quicksand in CF. Their infield sucks as well.

Adam Dunn has to be the worst defensive LF'er in all of baseball. That was actually the fourth ball he has misplayed today. He already missed two catches off of his glove and also misplayed a shallow fly ball that allowed runs to score. I would only want the guy at 1B or DH.

If Anderson plays good defense it would be. That would be a .750 OPS from Anderson. Rowand had a .736 OPS last season.

I would have rather traded Contreras than Freddy before but now Contreras is locked up for the next 4 years. Freddy is only locked up for the next 2 years.

MLB.com has an even better video of Thome's homer... http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/index.jsp ● Thome's two-run homer:

The Tribe has a bullpen. They just happened to suck tonight (well, Graves does suck). Fernando Cabrera is not that bad but he sure s*** his pants Marte-style tonight.

Greatest.avatar.ever.

Holy s***, tonight's homer was the 431st of Thome's career and it also flew 431 feet. Weird stuff.

Yep, according to The Score.

McCarthy will replace Buehrle when the game restarts.

Tarp coming off the field. 10:50 p.m. Central Time restart. McCarthy pitching.

Don't forget Sizemore, both in the same inning.

Yeah, it's supposed to restart at 10:30 p.m. CT.

Maybe from overthrowing or something. He just strained some fat is all.

Yep.

Thornton!
