Sox a possible AL destination for Thome - Peoria, IL - pjstar.com
“I sat with Jim’s agent the night the Phillies beat the Dodgers in the playoffs,” Chuck Thome said. “(The agent) said if he had to guess the four teams Jim might be going to, it would be the Yankees, Detroit, Baltimore or Texas. But Jim would look at the Sox (first).”
Oh, Papa Thome, why do you have to go around telling reporters things like this? Why do you have to say things like “Yankees” and “Detroit”? Wah. Heartbreak, sadface.
(Baltimore hahahaha I could deal with Baltimore, as if that gets Jim any closer to his World Series ring. Texas is a new one on me. Random.)
There’s also this.
There is a Dugout in here and I just can’t figure out what to do with it. (John SooHoo/Dodgers)
Because I hate the Rockies and I prefer to think of happier days.
- HurdleWax: now that we've got Javy Lopez on the team, we need somebody terrible to throw to him.
- SamPer_Fi: If you're looking to lose games look no further than Rodrigo Lopez!
- HurdleWax: The Lopez-Lopez Connection! Sounds great! If you give me cash I will trade you a "player to be named later"
- SamPer_Fi: haha that is because you are the Rockies and nobody can name your players

(Yes, I know I hate the White Sox. Leave me alone. Jim is above team-related hatred.)

Earl Weaver is one of the greatest managers in history and he’s also an Internet celebrity…for a radio interview that wasn’t real. But it’s still funny. “Now what the fuck are some of these God damn questions, Tom?”
