October 2, 201610 yr Yup. Today is bigger for him than it is for the other guys combined. Even if he's cruising after the 5th with a lead and a low pitch count, I hope Molitor has a lefty, a righty, and a Crash/Fire/Rescue team warmed up and ready to go in the bullpen. http://www.hometown-pages.com/Images/Images/100695.gifLet him go nine.
October 2, 201610 yr Author Ethan the FSN researcher says that there hasn't been another first pitch inside-the-parker since at least 1988. And I, for one, am inclined to believe him, because I have neither the means nor the desire to look for myself. Well done, FSN's Ethan.

If only I had decided to go to the game I could've seen it in person.

October 2, 201610 yr That's right, White Sox fans. Stand and applaud Abreu's 100th RBI. BTW: Twins are treating your ace like their bitch. Again.
October 2, 201610 yr I have a haircut appointment followed by errands, but will be with you in spirit. Thanks for making this season more bearable.
October 2, 201610 yr Yes, that's right, fellow game threaders, you are all MVP's. You made a historically sucky season fun in an almost magical way that I've only seen one other place... http://i2.wp.com/mirandacelestehale.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/alphabetanticskitteh.png?resize=478%2C312So, so true!
October 2, 201610 yr I like how Sano is trying to calm Berrios.It's really great to see. Berrios doesn't have confidence in pitching from the stretch. They need to work with him to slow things down. For now, running Sano and the catcher out there is working.
October 2, 201610 yr Just saw replay of Bux's inside the park homer. Man he can fly and no play at plate. Buxton was nearly in dugout when ball arrived at home plate. Love it and like the line up. Just wish Berrios could figure out how to throw strikes.
October 2, 201610 yr Wow. If only I had decided to go to the game I could've seen it in person.You're not the young lady there with the Circle me Bert sign?
October 2, 201610 yr Author Dick with a roundup of big name retirements and likely free agent departures around the league after today, and Mark Teixeira is among the retirees. Didn't like him even before he sawed Nishioka in half, after which Nishi was never able to regain his former level of replacement level utility infielder. It's the face, I think. He just has that brochacho look that says he's everybody's kinda sorta friend until you accidentally knock his beer out of his hand at a party and you see his Bill Bromanowski face. http://charmcitywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/tex.jpg
October 2, 201610 yr This is finally it? No more game threads after today? I thought we were all just starting to hit our stride!

October 2, 201610 yr Author Polanco is still not a shortstop. It's beer ball rules, dude. He got to the spot first again. Whaddya gonna do? http://images4.static-bluray.com/reviews/1709_1.jpg

October 2, 201610 yr We need an awards show or a season recap show to document the highs and lows of 2016 game threadin.... It all started with the Miguel Sano is so athletic drinking game. A bunch of randomness from RB. One random game thread in July where we had 15 pages before first pitch...
October 2, 201610 yr Would be nice to win today, as we haven't won a series or two games in a row since defeating the Braves on Aug. 16-17. Maybe it's OK to win one game a week in football or soccer, but not so good with America's Pastime. Carry on.
October 2, 201610 yr Author Unfortunately, the official scorer just changed Buxton's home run to a four-base error.#DucksnRuns#GameThreadHumor#NotThatFunny Then we're going to have to find that scorer and have a talk with him. And if you see his friend Shep Proudfoot, tell him we're gonna fix his wagon too. http://content6.flixster.com/question/44/51/04/4451044_std.jpg
October 2, 201610 yr I don't like him because of his repeated flouting of the "i before e" rule.It's plagued him his whole career

Be on the lookout for a party invite from Chief later this week...
October 2, 201610 yr Author The fifth inning wall again for Berrios... Bear down, Berrios! <clap clap clapclaplclap> Bear down, Berrios! <clap clap clapclaplclap> Everybody! Do it! NOW! Bear down, Berrios! <clap clap clapclaplclap> Edit: Berrios gets out of the jam and qualifies for the win. Congratulations, Game Thread, you're still my agent of Quan. http://www.filmsite.org/screens/jerrymaguire2.jpg Edited October 2, 201610 yr by LaBombo

October 2, 201610 yr Welcome to the 1,000 post club! Be on the lookout for a party invite from Chief later this week... Wow. Didn't see that coming. How about a Fresca? EDIT ADD: Maybe the White Sox fans will give me an ovation like Abreu. Edited October 2, 201610 yr by Circus Boy
October 2, 201610 yr whew. . . So now, what to do? Pull Berrios? Edited October 2, 201610 yr by HitInAPinch
October 2, 201610 yr Another positive - Molitor did not pull Berrios at 4 2/3 innings and in a jam and he got out of it!
