''I'll be honest, I would still love to come back,'' Thome said, tightening the blue batting gloves on each hand. ''I still care about the city. I mean, we're going to live there. Chicago's very fond in my heart. The time that I spent there, [chairman Jerry Reinsdorf] treated me great. I guess we'll deal with that when this is all over with.''
''I want to come back to the American League,'' Thome said. ''I guess you never know what's going to happen. Chicago is a great city. It's a great ballclub. The people there were great. If anything, I thank them for putting me where I'm at right now, giving me that opportunity.''

come home Jim
LA aint no kinda home,

He's not goddamn useless. At $5m, there's value there. And how much nicer must the man be?

Oh geez...finish the season first, dude.
I guess at 5 million for ONE year, there could be worse, but I think it’s time to go in another direction.
This different direction hopefully doesn't involve the use of Pods at DH
in a revolving door of shit. I’ll take Jimmy in the middle as long as he jacks 30+, walks 100 times, and drives in a 100. We play in a launching pad, we need launchers.

exactly Jim is a hell of a lot better in the middle of the order
than the Pods for DH campaign that is going on. Fucking seriously? Pods a DH? Come on.

Also, how in the hell is Pavano starting over Baker tonight?
Are the twins smoking Tyrone Biggums style crack or something?
What is this Tyrone Biggums style crack?
I am intrigued? Is it the cinnamon that makes it different than regular crack?
Why does De Luca say his next call would likely be the Twins?
Did Thome mention that or is he just speculating?
It's mostly from April
When he’s working on his gyroball.

I still think he retires if he wins a ring.
But, moving up the HR ladder (could go as high as 7th or 8th all-time by next season) might be too enticing to pass up.
It’s a better choice than Pods DH’ing, that’s for damn sure. I hope Kenny at least takes a look at some other candidates as well, would be kind of stupid to just pencil Jim in for next season.
The 2009 White Sox....like a 40 degree day.

I've enjoyed reading that paying Pods $5M to DH is a better idea than Thome at $5M to DH
It’s fun stuff.
Sure, I’d rather have Nick Johnson or maybe Abreu (maybe…Ozzie would probably play him in RF way too much).
But, if the Sox budget is as screwed as it sounds like it might be and Thome is wiling to play for 1 year on the cheap I’m not sure the Sox can beat that.
Corrected.
I think many closers in general are very overrated.
HA HA!
Up yours, Paperbum.
That ball hit deep! Way back! You can put it on the boooaaaard...YES!
Long drive into deep right center field! This ball is OUTTA HEEERRRREE!

I thought the Red Sox were guaranteed to win as part of Bud’s vast media conspiracy, right Angels fans?

I feel sorry for the family in my church who are BoSox fans
The kids are probably crying right now. But they’re the only Boston fans I feel sorry for.

Destined to a life
of utter despair. They’ll be street people on welfare in a few years. Check the stats.
So how does this work now?
Because the Red Sox, according to their fans, already won the World Series in April, so are they back in it somehow via double-elimination? And if so, can WE get back in this thing somehow?

Minnesta's got all their chips on..........
Pisano.
They oughta let Punto or Brett Farve start.
I just don't get it...How is the media not all over this?
I guess Pavano “does well against” the yankees, but I think it’s pretty fucking stupid. Whatever, SWEEP!
if we didn't trade Thome
he might’ve hit 600 next year, but now it’ll take two years
but playoffs are more important, oh well
As it will be for the April and May Twins' home games next year...hah!

Did anyone pick LA and LA to sweep the first round?
I think not.

Sweep.
I think not. Read the question.

no, it is not 'crosstown'. it is a 405 series if they both (probably won't) make it.
it would be a akin to joliet-chicago ‘crosstown’ series.
These events have me frightened and on the verge of evacuating my bowels.
