Jim Thome hit the money shot, then received a Prince Fielder-like bath. Two memorable moments: At halftime of our rec league hoops game last night, highlights were playing on a television nearby, and several people milled about. After Thome’s homer, there was an image of annoying White ... [link]

... kicks out some sympathy for the Robinson family. In baseball news, Brian Cashman was resigned to a new 3 year deal. There some who aren't too happy about this, which I find absurd. Cash took a hit this year to build up the farm system, which needed to be done. Keep stockpiling young arms and let's see how this thing plays out. With all the money coming off the payroll this year, it's going to be an interesting winter in Yankee-land. The White Sox make the playoffs. Any time a guy in London previews the baseball playoffs, I'm linking to ...

John Danks brought it. Nick Blackburn did too. So as it has so many times this season, tonight’s one-game playoff vs. the Twins was decided by the long ball for these White Sox. One mammoth, lumberjack blast from Jim Thome. 1-0 Sox. ...

It isn't certain, but the 2008 White Sox are probably done . It's tough to feel too bad for a team that won the World Series three years ago, but it's easy to feel bad for Ken Griffey, Jr . and Jim Thome . Thome has twice come close to a Series ...

THOME SENDS SOX TO TAMPA BAY

TAMPA BAY RAYS - LOOOOOOOKING GOOOOOOD!!!!!! With one mighty swing, Jim Thome lifted the White Sox over the Twins and into the ALDS playoff series against the Rays. I like this match-up for the Rays much better than the Twins. Both teams offenses have shown a tendency to disappear at times, ...

Jim Thome Is Thin and Not Very Powerful

Posted 10/1/2008 on Mr. Irrelevant

Game 163 was classic , especially for those pulling for The Kid , and the big blast that was the difference came off the bat of one Jim Thome. It may prove to be the signature moment of a HOF career, which saw him begin as a slim third baseman and “lefthanded hitter with average ...

The White Sox earned the AL Central pennant last night, winning a 1-0 nailbiter over the Twins in a 163rd-game tiebreaker. It was like overtime for the regular season. The heroes were a pair of 38-year-olds: Jim Thome’s mammoth 7th inning blast was the only run of the game, and ...

Sox Advance, Get Me Drunk

Big thanks to Jim Thome ’s old school bat and Ken Griffey Jr. ’s older school cannon for making the Chicago White Sox the 2008 AL Central winner. Lefty John Danks tossed eight impressive innings of two-hit ball on minimal rest, seeing Junior nail Michael Cuddyer at home and Thome smoke one in ...

Random thoughts as I make a long enough stopover at home to watch the Sox-Twins gam e before my next stupid business trip: Danks and Jenks sound like a cartoon cat and mouse team, and Jim Thome is kind of like the big silly dog that would live next door to them, but they were enough to shut ...

Jim Thome just went deep for the White Sox in their one-game playoff against the Twins , breaking a 0-0 tie in the seventh. Seems like the Pale Hose ought to win this one, right? But more on the playoffs later. With the Orioles season over and the bad memories of The Slide already starting ...
