I will be surprised when somebody breaks DiMaggio's streak.

I'll be dead looooong before somebody breaks Cy Young's. ;)

Tigers acquire Delmon Young from the Twins.

Jim Thome hits his 599th & 600th HR tonight. :tu :tu Great accomplishment from one of the games good guys. Thome always did it the right way.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Congrats Jim!

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Thome's the man.:tu

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Definitely a class act! Congrats to Mr. Thome!

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

I was at the game when he hit 500. It was even Jim Thome bobble head night. It was the only game I could make it to in 2007, guess I was lucky to go to that one:tu

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Congratulations on number 600 from a Red Sox fan. You have always been a worthy opponent who was fun to watch. Your place in the Hall of Fame is secure.:tu

Braves don't fear the Beard!!

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

The White Sox had 5 triples last night. JP had a great game including a dinger:r Ozzie still pissed me off last night..

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Mets still suck...I know...complete shocker. :r :r

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

You can root for the Yanks this fall Mac.:r

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

That ain't happening!! Everyone knows my two favorite teams are the Mets and whomever is playing with Yankees. :D

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

My Tigs are clinging to that first place spot. Although 2009 is still fresh in my mind. I wish Verlander could pitch everyday.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Yeah I know. That would be like me rooting for the damn chubbies:r

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Not worried about the Sox making a run?

Me either to be honest:r

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Sox or Indians, just praying for no collapse (which they have done every year for the past 5). 2009 took the cake; losing the tie breaking game 163 to the Twinkies after being up 7 games with 15 left (I think). Brutal.

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Brutal? From the outside, it looked more hilarious. It was like the old Alphonse and Gaston joke: "You take it! No, you first! No, you sir! No, I insist, you take it! No, you!" :r

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Beckett Vs Shields tonight is a much watch!
If not for the injury, this is a game Beckett would win.
He made his career coming up big in spots like this.
I just don't know how much missing a start and the ankle will effect him.
Even if it does, I still expect a gutty performance.

Shields is no slouch either!

Re: *2011 MLB Thread*
 

Alright...so the debate begins to heat up...who wins the AL/NL MVPs?

AL: Granderson isn't hitting for high enough average, but Cano has come on real strong lately. Does Verlander even garner votes being a pitcher? Do Gonzalez and Elsbury cancel each other out? Michael Young has got to be given some consideration.

NL: This race is wide open.
