My first game thread of the year, really happy I finally get to make one. Maybe my game thread will spark a 10 gm losing streak.

go Sox.

Oops. Vlad with an opposite field impale job - one nothing bad guys.

That was a sick play by Gonzo.

Hawk really praising Saunders for shutting down the offense. The line-up is pathetic.

Hawk blaming Gonzalez's problems on his rookie status. Please. He's been horrible. His throwing errors aren't because he's a rookie, its because he just isn't very good. It really is a toss up who the worst player in baseball is. Hall or Gonzalez.

It really is awful. With Andy Gonzalez 2 for his last 40 or so, is that really struggling for him, or is that just how bad he really is? Fields swing is just comical right now with how long it is, I don't think he can hit a fastball from Mark Mulder. Thome of course stinks against lefties, but what else is new?

Congrats to Toby Hall for doubling his season RBI total to 2. It only took him until September 16th to accomplish this.

Wow - a 6 run comeback to tie it in the last 2 innings. And without the benefit of our only accomplished hitters - Thome, Kong and Dye. Baseball is just plain weird.

Shields has lost quite a bit off his fastball since I've last seen him pitch.

 

Looks like all those innings are beginning to take their toll.

Fields makes you look stupid.

 

Richar round tripper.

Thanks for that correction Fathom ........ I've now had my chuckle for the day.

Congrats Thome....way to come through in the 9th!

Woah, Daddy!

Even I have to admit that was awesome.

 

Great way to earn your 500th homerun.

Nice that it came in dramatic fashion - WOW!

Before greg even asks, yes, that win was worth it.

Awesomeness.

This story still isn't up on ESPN or MLB.com, what is that crap?

It is now, wasn't when I posted. There's no reason it should take 15 minutes for ESPN to get a story of a 500th home run for a walkoff on the site.

 

Damn I must be lucky to start this thread, dramatic come from behind win, thomes 500th, and a walk off shot.
