This gameday open thread will have two parts and it is all user-generated…
- Up until first pitch, use the comments section to predict who you think will be the Sunburst Player of the Game. (be sure to use a valid email address while leaving the comment). The commenter that correctly predicts who we will name the Sunburst Player of the Game the most times prior to the all-star game, will win two tickets to a second-half game. Runners-up get their choice of a t-shirt. [Click HERE for rules]
- Once the game starts, the GBT open thread will be your thoughts during the game of what you think are The Good, The Bad and/or The Telling moments of the game.

Gonna go with El Gato today for SPOTG.
I went with C.C. yesterday forgetting that Danks was left handed and he went 0-5. So I’m going to pick him again for a bounce back game.
Sunburst POG: Only fitting that I take Evan
Actually, its only fitting that I take Evan, but I’m not.
I’m gonna go with James “my strength and my Shield”s.
Carl Crawford
L-O-N-G-O and Longo was his name-o
nice
Who else? Mr. Shields, back home where he pitches well
Rays need a stopper and they need a BIG GAME. I got James the Greater.
BIg Game James, it’s at the Trop where he dominates and we’ve dropped three straight you know he’s gonna step and pitch a gem
Pena is the hottest hitter not named Evan Longoria. He should have came up in the ninth with the bases juiced last night.
I should start doing this sunburst thing more
CC. How do I know? He just looks like he is ready for a 2 triple, 5 times on base, 3 steal game.
gotta go with Big Game James.
James Shields
Shields. I need a win.
Going with my patron saint, St. James the greater. And it will be At least 8 strong.
well, since we can’t seem to hit the ball it only seems right that Shields is the POG tonight.
El Gato Guapo – Pena
The popular picks seem to be Longo and Shields. Rather than crap on all of your picks by picking one of them myself, I’ll go with BJ Upton.
The rest of you can now be 100% sure that Upton will not be the PLOG…adjust your picks accordingly.
I don’t know why “BL Upton” came up…I’m pretty sure I typed in Ben Zobrist. Just a misunderstanding, I’m sure.
*BJ
man, that’s just awful.
Shields
Ben Zobrist
Clearly illegal use of a time machine. Doesn’t count.
Shields
Pat The Bat
Pena is hot. Gotta go with him
would it kill carl to take a freakin strike? just once?
Well I think it’s pretty obvious who the SPOG is. I was thinking Percival had a good shot at it if he had a 1-2-3 inning, but we got the “1st half of 2008″ Percival who lets runners get on, but still gets out of it with a save. Better than the “2nd half of 2008″ Percival who either blows it or is off the field and busy trying not to hurt himself while standing still.
