They’re Back.

The Sox begin competing for their second straight pennant tonight in Tampa against the Famous Original Rays. Wooooooohoooooo!

Last Friday at Thom’s we had our biggest crowd ever for the Angels game and hope to break that record tonight. Did you know that we are an official watch party? The Sox have made us legitimate. So get there early-like “take off work” early. Make sure you take some pictures or even some video and send them to me and I'll pass them on to the Sox.

Also tonight we will do more give-aways and raffles to raise money for Christine’s chair. In one game last week we raised almost half of our goal of $3000. Raffle tickets will be available at the door and at the bar and tables.

Book Signing

Make sure you stop by Jere Smith’s table Saturday night to talk to him about the book he wrote with his mother Mary-Ann Tirone Smith, “Dirty Water: A Red Sox Mystery”. He’ll be signing and selling copies in the front of Thom’s.

More New Beer

Next Thursday we’ll be having a party to celebrate Harpoon’s Leviathan series. Harpoon has decided to make a line of big beers and we get dibbs. First up: Imperial IPA. It’s a 10% ABV palette chiseler that should make every Harpoon fan happy, very happy.

Thommies in The News

Make sure you catch John Pizzarelli and his wife Jessica Molaskey playing at Café Carlyle through November 1.
I mean surely there's a hurricane due to hit there any day
Won't that close the beaches and the airport?
Or maybe it's still way too hot or did I hear
Somewhere you stopped flyin' into that part of the country?
You can think of somethin' can't ya?
Just talk me out of Tampa
