November 28, 200520 yr QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Nov 28, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) The Sox wanted Thome in 2002 when he was a free agent. that smile looks genuine...unlike rowands in philly
November 28, 200520 yr Thome has been on a workout program since July to strengthen his back and keep his back troubles away. Ack, Bruce Levine asking a question. Yeah Thome, remind us all how you raped us at the Cell with the Indians. Thome says he wants Konerko here too. He says he doesn't care if he's playing first base or DH'ing.

November 28, 200520 yr QUOTE(daa84 @ Nov 28, 2005 -> 01:07 PM) that smile looks genuine...unlike rowands in philly why wouldn't he be happy? he wanted to come here. I'm loving this whole positivity surrounding the sox and the players in the league
November 28, 200520 yr taht clip of him takin the curveball oppo for a dong was sweeeet Edited November 28, 200520 yr by daa84
November 28, 200520 yr He sure says "....for me...." and "like I said" a lot. It's better than "like" or "y'know". He looks damn good in that Sox jersey, though!
November 28, 200520 yr QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Nov 28, 2005 -> 01:14 PM) Haha, what a happy guy. This dude is saying hi to every reporter. lol tom schaer currently unemployed
November 28, 200520 yr Thome "its going to be alot of fun hitting in this park" Who do you already know on this team, and have a good relationship with Thome "Buehrle"
November 28, 200520 yr Thome pitching for konerko to come back...said he really wants him to come back...solid
November 28, 200520 yr It was funny when Thome tried to cover his ass on being a Cubs fan. Thome said that even though most people from Peoria are Cubs fans, a lot more of them will be Sox fans now that he's here.
November 28, 200520 yr I loved that bit of honesty on his part about being a Cub fan though! There was a fine sign of him being a stand-up guy. I always liked Thome, but now I love the guy. I FINALLY GET TO CHEER FOR HIM!!! Good luck to Rowand, and I hope he makes millions upon millions in his future! I haven't checked the next years games, do the Sox face the Phils anytime during the interleague?
November 28, 200520 yr QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Nov 28, 2005 -> 01:20 PM) do the Sox face the Phils anytime during the interleague? Nope.
November 28, 200520 yr Author Very positive experience. He said all the right things and his enthusiasm looks geniune...ear-to-ear grin throughout and looked awfully good in black pinstripes. He's coming home, playing for what has to be one of the funniest and most respected managers in baseball, and has the opportunity to mesh with a very tight-knit, relaxed clubhouse. How could you not be pumped? Again, welcome aboard Big Guy!
November 28, 200520 yr and i come away from the interview very impressed. He seems like such a genuine guy.......him and buehrle are going to be best friends, they're both such hillbillies.

I haven't checked the next years games, do the Sox face the Phils anytime during the interleague? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That press conference definately lessened the blow of losing Rowand. Thome seems like every bit of a good guy as Rowand is, except he can hit 40+ homers. And we already faced the Phillies in interleague in 2004 at the Cell. And Thome hit 4 homers against us in that 3 game series. Edited November 28, 200520 yr by SSH2005
November 28, 200520 yr Pretty sweet overall. If Thome helps get PK back, the deal might be the best KW has ever made. Edited November 28, 200520 yr by SoxFan1

November 28, 200520 yr he mashes at the cell <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 41 of his 430 career homers were against the Sox. 18 of them were hit at the Cell. He has crushed us over his career.
November 28, 200520 yr QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Nov 28, 2005 -> 03:22 PM) If Thome helps get PK back... If he can guarantee that 5th year at $13 mill per, he could really help get PK back but alas, it will fall to KW and Jerry. Prediction: Thome will be batting clean-up and protecting Dye
November 28, 200520 yr 41 of his 430 career homers were against the Sox. 18 of them were hit at the Cell. He has crushed us over his career. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You do know that he won't face the Sox pitching anymore right!
