Thomes HR Today

[zamboni]

Ummmmm, WOW.

[MinnesnowtaWild]

480 feet off the top of the flag pole...wow

[UMC]

The guy has been our best hitter the last couple weeks - what a beast. Too bad he can't play every day.

[thatoneguy]

That was a MOONSHOT!

[10,000 Casts]

Thome is crushing the ball, not only todays HR that I wish would have missed the flag and landed ouside the park but his 2 on Saturday. The 449fter and the 419fter into the wind in left center..

[Eric Wettschreck]

Anyone seee Hudson's reaction??? Priceless.

We were at the game and there's no doubt, that ball would have landed out in the plaza. Wow!

I was at the game also with my family and Thome really crushed that ball and was very exciting to see live!

it was a bomb, but you're about 20 feet off what it said on the big screen at the game.

They revised the distance on TV, originally they said it was 16ft shorter. Then they came back and said 480ft.

[bobbymalone]

ahhhh, gotcha...

[zamboni]

Those measurements are so inaccurate to begin with. That thing was well over 500 ft

[SledNeck]

Id guess 620

[zamboni]

520 is my guess. I really don't think it would have stayed in the park

hilarious.... absolutely hilarious

[harvey lee]

Big Jim has been very hot at the plate as of late with his RBI's.

We will need his bat to continue for the last weeks.

[Scott K]

I have a feeling we are saving him for the playoffs, then he will play almost every game.

[mrklean]

i wanted to see that leave the park like really leave the park

[CodyDawg]

didnt see hudsons reaction, what was it?

[hcmpls1]

didnt see hudsons reaction, what was it?

They zoomed in on Hudson while he was watching the home run and he said "ohhhhhh sh!!!!ttt!!!". They replayed it a number of times... was pretty funny!

[mrklean]

haha yeah it was, i guess they had some good audio after kubels smash as well with the f bombs on tv

[mr_jman]

Yep, both D!ck and Bert went silent right as Kubel got to the dugout and there were definately a few F Bombs said..... Kinda reminds me of watching the Timberwolves when they were better. Garnett would swear A LOT after a hard rebound or foul... LOL back in the good ol' days!

[SledNeck]

Baseball should be uncensored. My kid hears worse in the boat.

+1

[mr_jman]

How about the Thome shot tonight as well?!?!? Lets take THAT into the playoffs and actually get a HR in a series...

I still think Berts pre-game foul up 2 years ago was pretty funny.

[mr_jman]

Yeah I was driving over to my buddies to watch the game when it happened. He said he had to double take cause he wasn't sure he heard it right..... pretty funny...

[PierBridge]

Yeah Thomes said to Kubel....."you "edited" Flipping beast" even nice guys swear on occasion.

[Dave S]

I still think Berts pre-game foul up 2 years ago was pretty funny.

That was absolutely hilarious. He not only dropped the F-Bomb once but twice. Bert apologized all night long for that one.

[mrklean]

haha that was classic
