Nathan had Beckham down 0-2 and he took him out to left. Then Konerko homered to tie it, and madness ensued. Good stuff, and for some reason 4.5 games feels a lot more comfortable than 3.5, so a win would be really nice. I was “watching” on gameday, it was pretty stunning finish.

I forgot they had the early game today. As much as I hate the Sox and Fatboy Jenks, we needed them to win today. WOOHOO! I forgot they had the early game today.

Sox found a way to end their history at that hideous dome... a very metrodome like ending, but with the shoe on the other foot. Nathan got smoked! No freakishly lucky bounces for the home team... bye-bye crapdome... The Twins organization's biggest mistake is moving out of that piece of dung. Awesome!

Down 2-0 with two outs and nobody on Nathan gave up back to back solo shots to tie the game. Then after walking two batters, a single and a wild pitch quickly made it 4-2 Sox. Jenks came in and closed it out. That's huge for us. Let's bring it back to the faaarrrrr more comfortable 4 and 1/2 games up.

Then the crowd can be cued to collectively glare at the hitter.

It just wouldn't be right. As much as those eyes bother me I don’t think you could bring back the old school logo and alter them. It just wouldn’t be right.

If their season is over, it's because they're too far out already, not because they lost those guys. Contreras has been garbage lately and they already has a surplus of hitters who can DH.

I had to check to make sure this wasn't "Roar of the Tigers." Maybe we'll see a cartoon of it there? “Death-ray eyes!?”

Five teams in the AL have given up less runs than the White Sox. How is their pitching and defense the problem? I realize their defense isn't great, but getting rid of Thome wouldn't seem to offer much help there. Three teams in the AL have scored less runs than the White Sox.

The only Tiger's t-shirt I wear has it, although the so called "death-ray eyes" have always seemed to draw me away from the rest of the logo lulling me to drop my defenses... Imagine if the Lions had a similarly awesome and intrancing logo they might actually win a game. I’m all for reverting back to the old logo.

I was totally against it and thought it would of been a dumb move because Halladay had just came off the DL. Trading away Luke French didn't bother me though. He doesn't have the tools to stay in the majors. He reminds me of a young Wil Ledezma. Just not much talent. I’m glad we didn’t trade Porcello for Halladay.

I don't think Thome or Contreras contributed much anyway. I thought they were both negatives for their team because they needed to improve their defense and pitching, not their offense. Them trading Contreras is equivalent to us trading Galarraga. Neither pitcher has pitched well consistently this season.
