Should have saved a couple of those extra runs for the next night when they actually might have meant something.

Anyway, 4 down on the loss side with like a dozen left. Still hope. That team in Detroit is hanging in too.

I'm thinking Raider fans have to be in shock after having the game stolen from them by Shanahan last night.

If the Raiders ever win a game, their fans will be in shock.

Well, the BoSox did try something new last night. They hit Rivera with a pitch in his own bullpen while he was warming up to go in. Got him on his pitching elbow. Almost worked too.

That's gotta be a first.

Hey, did you hear the rumor Anheuser-Busch is planning on moving the Cardinals to the Philippines next year?

They're going to re-name them the Manila Folders.

(Look out, I've a bunch of old Cub jokes I can use on Cardinal fans. Years and years of jokes...)

Thome hits #500 yesterday. Here's a couple of tidbits I heard:

3 players hit #500 this year; this is the first year that's ever happened.

Thome's HR was first #500 to be a walk-off HR.

As much as the Sox have been down this year, it's good to see one of the good guys in the game get some well-deserved recognition.

How many current players are members of the 500 club? Have there ever been this many playing at the same time?

I thought I remembered seeing 23 total.

I mean, I remember seeing 23 names on the list. I assume JR's the only one to have seen all 23 players in person.

Well, if you don't know the answer, you could have just said so.

Doesn't work that way, does it? The '06 version of Big Papi would've won that game for us. He is still having a very good year statistically, but just isn't coming through in the clutch like last year. (Maybe Papi and ARod switched mojo's before this season started.)

On the plus side, the Pats kicked the Chargers' butts last night. It was never even a game. Video or no video, they're the best team in the NFL.

He's the fourth fastest to reach 500. I find it kind of curious that, in the middle of the steroid era, I haven't heard anybody seriously question whether any of this year's guys (ARod, Frank Thomas, Thome) are juiced. Is that being bandied about somewhere and I'm just unaware of it?

You're right - I'm sorry.

I don't know how many JR's seen in person.

I haven't heard any whispers either. In fact, most of the comments I've heard, when the names are mentioned together with the steroid issue, is that people are happy these names aren't associated.
