Is that the 250,000th***?
Posted by: rootbeerfloat | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 06:32 PM
Pretty funny (at least to me) comment on BTF said something about how ARod would hit 249999 and 25001, showing once again how unclutch he is.
Posted by: attackgerbil | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 06:36 PM
looks like Jason Bay has 249,998
Posted by: rootbeerfloat | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 07:22 PM
ooops 249,997
Posted by: rootbeerfloat | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 07:26 PM
Are we treating this as the gamer tonight?
Posted by: stuck working | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 07:37 PM
Sure, why not? I had plans for a big Series Preview, but work got in the way (stupid job)...
Posted by: Paul SF | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 07:45 PM
God bless Coco! And Kotsay!
Wait oops, Kotsay thrown out at 2nd. Oh well, nice hit anyways.
Posted by: Atheose | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 08:21 PM
Lester suddenly having control issues.
Posted by: I'mBillMcNeal | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 08:33 PM
Ugh. Sheff? Ugh.
Posted by: LocklandSF | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 08:40 PM
Better him than Giambi.
Posted by: I'mBillMcNeal | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 08:41 PM
He made doubly sure..
#250,000: Gary Sheffield (DET) off Gio Gonzalez (OAK).
#249,999: Gary Sheffield (DET) off Gio Gonzalez (OAK), Sept. 8.
#249,998: Magglio Ordonez (DET) off Gio Gonzalez (OAK) , Sept. 8.
Sheesh. Detroit hammers, and they are in the third inning.
Posted by: attackgerbil | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 08:42 PM
Would love for that to get rained out so it doesn't count. That would be funny.
Not that it matters, this is minutia trivia of the highest order.
Posted by: LocklandSF | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 08:44 PM
Man, the Red Sox pounced early, but they have made some baserunning blunders since and let Jackson off the ropes. Well...to the 7th!
Posted by: Devine | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 08:49 PM
Jackson has really ssettled down since the first, and the RS have had two runners thrown out on the bases, plus a CS.
Posted by: I'mBillMcNeal | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:05 PM
7 2/3 IP for Lester, leaves runners at 2nd and 3rd for Papelbon.
Posted by: Devine | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:12 PM
Lester is amazing. Johan who?
Posted by: Atheose | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:18 PM
Rocco's sombrero? It is GOLDEN!
Ath, you and I are on in fantasy playoffs this week! I am somewhat wishing I did not trade you Lidge right now. Hopefully the Phillies will suck and/or Baker will toss a gem.
Posted by: Micah-SF | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:19 PM
God bless Coco! His batting average is now .291! Holy crap!
Posted by: Atheose | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:22 PM
Phew. Still scoreless are them Rays, and Coco is ON FIRE!
Posted by: Devine | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:23 PM
Heh hopefully Lincecum tosses a gem tonight and gets a W for once. If he doesn't win the NL Cy Young it's a travesty. Brandon Webb be damned!
Posted by: Atheose | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:23 PM
Booooooo, Coco. Caught stealing.
Posted by: Devine | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:26 PM
Ath: "God bless Coco! His batting average is now .291! Holy crap!"
Though I'd like to see him with a bit more power, it is nice to have him hitting well and having Jacoby going into the post season.
Posted by: BillsBurgSF | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:32 PM
The Kotsay experiment leading off seems to be paying off well, at least the last few games.
Posted by: BillsBurgSF | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:33 PM
An awful night on the bases can be rendered moot if Papelbon gets 3 outs before giving up 3 runs.
Posted by: Devine | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:36 PM
Kotsay has a line of .291/.346/.438 leading off in his career, in 310 games. Only better line is when he hits 7th, go figure.
Spent most of his career hitting 2nd. Not gonna happen when you've got Laser Show! Though I'm wondering why they didn't keep Pedro hitting 4th and plug in Youk 2nd in the batting order.
Posted by: BillsBurgSF | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:38 PM
Anybody watching? Pitch 3 to Aybar on game day showed high and tight.
Posted by: BillsBurgSF | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:39 PM
2 outs, then a base hit.
Posted by: Devine | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:42 PM
PAPS!!! BALLGAME!
Posted by: BillsBurgSF | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:44 PM
Winner, winner, half game back!
Posted by: Devine | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:45 PM
Niiiiiiiice. Almost getting confident enough about the division to feel bad for the Rays...but they'll be happy with the wild card, I think.
Posted by: stuck working | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:46 PM
If the Yankees beat the Angels, Sox will be 1 GB for best record in MLB. If the Angels beat the Yankees...it will just be fun!
Posted by: Devine | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:46 PM
Got a little worried there, one of the few times I stepped into a gamer, late in the game no less, and Paps give's up a 2 out hit to Hinske, though I was going to get blamed for the opposite of Ath going out in the rain. He is about 60 miles down I-64 (I'm in Williamsburg, VA, he's in Virginia Beach, VA)
Posted by: BillsBurgSF | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:47 PM
OK, so is this what Yank fans have felt like all those years when they were knocking on the door in Sept??? If the Sox come back and win the division, will that make the Ray's the new Sox?
Posted by: BillsBurgSF | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 09:49 PM
I would like to thank Jason Bay for hitting his home run in the first to make it a 3-run lead and thus taking away much of the stress this game might have had.
Posted by: Devine | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 10:02 PM
Any hits the 249,997th of all time!!!!
Posted by: BillsBurgSF | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 10:07 PM
Devine, you sound like you are accepting an award on behalf of SF everywhere!
I'd also like to thank John Lester for only scattering 6 hits while striking out 9 to get hit 14th win!
Posted by: BillsBurgSF | Monday, September 08, 2008 at 10:10 PM
Am I rooting for the Yankees AGAIN? I'm afraid I am... I never thought the Sox would be within striking distance of the Angels.
