Jim Thome sets Major League record

Featured Replies

Scoring in last night's game gave Jim Thome 16 straight games having scored a run to start the year. ESPN said that this is a modern major league record(hasn't been done since 1900). Therefore, Kudos to Big Jim. COUNTRY STRONG.

Thats awsome.

Kudos indeed to the big guy. :)

The overall record is 18 games, I believe Kurkijan said. He could do it easily.

This is what the Trib published last Thursday as well.

Yeah, the REAL record is 25 straight, back in 1894.

modern era record is 18 by Lofton I think

Please pass that bum. I've never liked Kenny Lofton.

18 is the record for any string of games, not just to start the season??

good job thome...bout time you start earning your salary -green-

That'd be awesome to see it happen. I know he's hitting his fair share of home runs but it's also a compliment to Konerko, Dye, and company that hit after him.

yes in the modern era. Red Rolfe (1939) and lofton (2000- Indian) have 18.

Billy Hamilton (1894) has 25.

 

Its very impressive for Thome too since hes a power hitter and not a leadoff batter. It a lot harder to generate a run for Thome if he gets on than for someone like Pods.

to start the season is what I meant.

However that being said Brian Anderson has to be the starting CF now... Juan Peirre sucks so bad and I would vomit in my throat to have his terrible defense in CF... ANDERSON IS THE ONLY RESPONSIBLE CHOICE LEFT!!! OZZIE IS NOT THAT RETARDED!!!!

One ? for you guys...

This deal is great... No ? about that...

 

But have some of you not watched baseball at all...

 

It goes...

 

Brian Anderson >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>(Two Million More of These)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Juan Peirre

 

Hell thats if Brian Anderson hits freaken .200. Want to know why? Because defense is that important... and I shudder to see all the doubles flying over that loser Pierres head... Hendry please help us out and get Juan as soon as possible... Save KW and Ozzie from themselves if possible... BUT ANDERSON NEEDS TO BE THE STARTING CF NEXT YEAR!

I'm going to say this now.

 

I hate this f***ing trade.

Says the man with the Jim Thome sig.

 

But to my credit later on in the day when I cooled off and got past the loss of Rowand I realized that the trade was for the best.

Just further proof that Jeckle can't possibly believe the moronic s*** that he posts.

I think the Jeckle-BA lovefest is much funnier. I'm just going thru that thread now and getting some laughs.

 

By the way, for Reading, Haigwood has 13 walks in 14 innings. 1-1, 3.07. WHIP of nearly 2.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 12:18 AM)

:notworthy for digging that thread up :P

 

I'm glad that Thome has come through solid so far. I didn't like the trade at first because of Rowand being traded, but I've come around.

I didn't realize that this hasn't happened in forever. Pretty impressive.

Ohh Dayn Perry, what a vintage ass.

 

The only fans who should be happy about the Thome-Rowand deal are those in Philly and those in Cleveland and Minnesota. That's because the reigning world champs are a worse team for having made this trade.
