Thome a Dodger... Sobayyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!

I know his carrer is about finished, he runs the 40 in about 2 days and he can't even play 1st base anymore... But his 550 ft home runs will be missed.:bowdown: He still strikes out a bunch but still has some pretty good power numbers and a good OBP ( a ton of walks). He still is good in the clutch and always a smiling face in the dugout and a fun post game interview. An ironic thing is that I was on my way down to Peoria (Jim's home town) when I heard the news this morning.. :crying:

He is gonna make a nice bench warmer the rest of the season in sunny So. Cal. A few pinch hits here and there. But they got him for DH if/when they make it to the Series.. That is some good wishful thinking there. ;)Would of loved to see him hit #600 in a Sox uni.. It may still happen. But it was great to see Kenny trade him to a real WS contender and wish he can finaly get that ring.. I am officially a Dodger's fan for the rest of this year.. The only time I ever was in the past is when they play the Cubs..:D

Welcome to Dodgertown!!! It's going to be great to see Thome in Dodger Blue! Too bad they can't work in a Jim Thome bobblehead night (F'ng Manny got 2 of them this year).

Let's get Thome that ring!!

Did the sox trade or cut him? I thought he was still pretty productive as DH.. Who is going to DH now?

No, they traded him at the waiver trade deadline last night. They got some AAA pitcher I think for him and the Sox agrred to pay part of the remaining 1.5 mil on his contract this year. The Sox are 6 games out and playing like shit, so they are done. Thome was in the last year of his contract a a gonner most likey after the year anyway. So it was a finacial move. But Kenny loved Thome (as most people did) and also wanted to put him in a position to possibly win a ring. He may (fat chance) come back next year if the price is rite and the DH spot is still in check. Thome said he would love to retire a White Sox since he still has family in the Peoria/Chicago area. But not for anywhere near the 17 mil he made this year..

As far as our new DH????? They were talking about moving the outfiled around and having Scottie Pods and Jermane Die switch off.

I hope they play him at first one game!!

I would definitely DVR that shit!!!

Gonna miss Jim :(

Classy move by Kenny to try to get him a ring :yippee:

Go Dodgers !
