I could describe the Thunder starter's dominance in their four postseason games, but I'd rather show it to you. I'm not going to count Andy Pettitte as a starter, because he's really not a Thunder player, per se.

Here is some postgame audio from (top down) Brackman, manager Tony Franklin and Austin Romine.







Additionally, here's Andy Pettitte's first inning and part of his press conference. My recorder shut off during the conference for some reason, but all of the good stuff is there.

Just like the headline says, here are the postgame interviews from (top down) Austin Romine, Manny Banuelos, Rene Rivera and Tony Franklin. Rivera is the interpreter for Banuelos, who is a big topic in all four interviews. Check out some good stuff in Romine's interview about his friendly rivalry with Darin Mastroianni, whom he caught stealing twice last night.

Yesterday's 8-4 Thunder loss, even coming after an eight-game win streak, prompted a stern lecture after the game about the dangers of complacency. In making three errors, failing to catch a runner after he'd been picked off, and turning the tying run at second base into the third out at third base, Trenton suffered easily its most painful loss of the season.

Franklin had a lot to say about it afterward. Check out the nearly 10-minute audio.



Also, Justin Snyder had a few good comments about what a bad loss like this means to a team that has been very good all season long.



Here are the game story and sidebar that I wrote yesterday. The sidebar is about the hidden danger of your starters going deep into games -- bullpen rust.

From tonight's 9-1 Thunder win, here are four videos, all shot by a combination of Trentonian interns Erin Egan and Lucas Pasch, of Brandon Laird's home run (two videos), an entry interview with new pitcher Tim Norton, and, of course, yesterday's Boomer race.









Also, for your listening pleasure, here are my postgame interviews with (from top) David Phelps, Brandon Laird, Kevin Mahoney and Tony Franklin. Mahoney is being sent to Staten Island. Matt Cusick, who played with Trenton last year, will take his place after coming down from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.









That's it for tonight. Check back tomorrow for game two of the Thunder's series with Altoona.
