I guess we can consider this evening's ball game as the inaugural for that push around the final turn.

I can't help wondering what Jim Thome will feel like when he wakes up this morning.
Butterflies?
What's going through his mind?
I think I would have fan reaction at the top of my mind.
I think Thome comes to the park with an open mind though. It probably won't be an all wine and roses debut. I think he probably knows that. I have to give Jimmy a lot of credit for his decision to waive his no trade to come here knowing what might lie ahead as far as the fan base is concerned. I hope everyone respects his decision. It had to take a lot guts to make it.

If there are any boos let him smack a majestic and deep Home Run in his first at bat and they will get with him.

Not exactly a lineup that will strike any fear into the opposing pitchers. WoW! I hope Jimenez brings his "A" game to the park tonight. I also hope that Acta plays for some early runs....whatever it takes!

Too bad! I was hoping for a sacrifice bunt from Phelps to get Carrerra into scoring position for Asdrubal and Thome. Gotta score early!

Not quite the start I was anticipating. Two dp's in two innings ?!?!? Ouch!

Bottom of the 5th and we finally got a runner in scoring position. Fukudome and Duncan with back to back 2 out singles.
Hannahan up to bat

Hannahan ripped one to left field but Fukudome was thrown out at the plate.
1-0 bad guys

Seems like nothing is going right these past two weeks. We're getting a quality start from Jimenez and the offense forgets to show up.

Beautiful job by Jimenez tonight. It would be a real shame to lose this one.

Inauspicious debut for Jimmy.

Another multi hit night for Fukudome.
