YASNY Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I hope he hits 6 to 8 in this series. Those tools in Cleveland didn't deserve Thome for all those years. When he left Cleveland, he left the town completely devoid of class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Keep booing him Cleveland fans, they don't call your hellhole of a town the "mistake by the lake" for nothing. 20 down, 30 to go for the season, although hey maybe he'll hit more than 50.

The Human Borch Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 (edited) I say that Big Jim ends up around the McCovey, Foxx, Mantle area. Thats some very, very impressive company. What a great career Thome has had, hopefully he can finish it here on the south side. Edited May 29, 2006 by The Human Borch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what is more impressive than Jimmy's 20 bombs is that our 3, 4 and 5 hitter make up 3 of the top 8 on that list. That is what they call "mashing"!

greg775 Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Congrats! By the way, when he passes Yaz, u can count on a long story about how great Yaz was from Hawk. Congrats Jim Thome! And I'm glad Hawk will talk about Yaz. I love Hawk's stories. It's what makes him the best play by play man in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
