good guess indeed... i have heard reports that thome already has passed his physical

 

/me shrugs

 

Those reports are wrong. On Comcast SportsNet, they said that Thome wanted to get to Chicago by tommorow morning to take his physical, but there's nothing but delays on the plane, so he was thinking about driving tonight so he could get here tommorow.

sounds like Jim is pumped to be on the South Side.

 

GENTLEMEN! This is just the beginning of what winning a World Series does for your ballclub. I don't care if he is from Peoria or not, Thome does not accept a trade to the White Sox if we're not coming off of what we did last year. Kenny and Ozzie have created a South Side beast that is not stopping until it drinks the blood of 31 more ballclubs next year as well and for many years down the line. f***ing rock and roll.

 

man, its good to be a southsider...

Thome trade a done deal

PHILDADELPHIA -- The Phillies and the White Sox on Friday completed their deal that sends slugger Jim Thome to the Sox for center fielder Aaron Rowand.

 

The trade was announced on Wednesday, but wasn't official until the players passed their physicals. Philadelphia also gets minor league left-hander Daniel Haigwood and a player to be named later.

Still doesn't specifically mention Gio though....

 

Nevermind...the ESPN story says it's him...

Rowand had his today.

Can't wait to see Jim's. :headbang

 

I watched several clips of Rowand's introduction today, and he did not appear happy. When his jersery was put on, he didn't even crack a smile. Rowand appeared shocked--perhaps the reality of the trade didn't fully hit him until that moment.

Let's see. Our defense is worse, our team speed is worse, our payroll is up, but we opened up some spots in the Birmingham rotation for 2006. The Phillie farm system is now a whole lot better, and ours is worse. We also opened a spot on the major league roster for either Timo or Joe B.

How do you figure that we lost speed? Thome is supposedly our DH. Were Everett and Frank that much faster than him? Also, Anderson is supposed to be faster than Rowand.
