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.

Sunburst POG: Pat The Bat
Going out on a limb, waaay out on a limb (so we can see eye to eye) :
Jeff Niemann.
Still looking for my 1st correct SPOTG
This is a long shot but I’m goin’ with Aybar
im going with the bullpen……HAH
ok that was a funny one
seriously though….bossman jr is my pick for the award formerly known as bpdpotg
Aki Aki Aki – again – gotta get it right one of these times
I wanna say Willy but idk if he’s playing… so I’ll go with El Gato
Man I suck at this…but I’ll go with BJ Upton.
Don’t worry. I don’t have it with me but the leader has 3 and there is only 1 or 2 at 2 correct. Lots of people with 1 so far. Plenty of time to make up ground.
The Bat
I have one……..Beginners luck, i say our right fielder, either Ben or Gabe Gross. Can i do that?
CCCCCCCCCCCCCC as in Carl Crawford
You must mean CARL Cale Calvin Chris Craig Cam Casper Charlie Clancy Clarence Corbin Cranston Carter CRAWFORD.
Good choice.
(And yes, that’s the right amount of C’s.)
Percy? ahahahahahahahahahahaha. Yeah right.
I’ll take the Pena.
and the award for the most original post in this thread goes to?
possum avenger! congratulations!
simmer down.
Bartlett!!!
I believe Niemann will come out and pitch a good game but my gut says go with Upton. Upton is my choice.
Carl Crawford
I’m going with Mr. Upton.
Aki
Aki is sitting this one out tonight for the two who picked him…
I’m going to pick Carlos.
Jason Barlett. Not only will he b*tch slap AJ Pierznetski in a run down, he’ll have a good night at the plate.
Hope I got in on Time. Going to go with BJ Upton
Nice work Balfour.
Kevin Kennedy remains godawful.
The Bad: Everything
But really, runs are fun…we should try to score some.
