Threw.

Which is what Grant Balfour did for the Rays this evening: threw three walks, and threw the grand slam ball, which threw the game. Jose Abreu is pleased. Rays fans are less than pleased; one might say that they are angered through and through, or threw and threw, or perhaps thru and thru.

One might be correct in saying that they were angered through and through. One would not be correct in saying that they were angered threw and threw. "Thru" is a somewhat popular shorthand spelling for "through," that is not a correct spelling since it is not actually a word, nor is it interchangeable with "threw."
