claydude14 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Let's go Thome! The personal player accomplishments this season have been a reason to keep watching and keep hoping for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 The decline in power is obviously disconcerting but I don't see falling from .288/.416/.598 to .263/.409/.508 as a massive drop off in production. As far as the quest for 500, I don't see 7 home runs in five weeks as a huge stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 From Rotoworld: White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said he is thinking about putting Jim Thome in the leadoff spot late in the season if the slugger needs more at-bats to reach 500 home runs. Anything is better than keeping Jerry Owens there. Thome is currently seven homers away from 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 For such a s***ty year as far as our team is concerned, we've seen quite a few milestones/records. Not only for us/our team, but for alot of other teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSoxFan Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Hell after this trainwreck of a season maybe this will be something to be entertained by. I hope he gets it, as a White Sock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Jim Thome is one of the easiest guys in the world to root for. I really hope he gets it this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Wouldn't it suck, yet be just like this Season From Hell for poor Jim to hit No. 499 then wrench his back and have to get it next April? Man in a normal year he'd hit five homers easy in September. Can he do it in this hexed season though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baines3 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I am he gets it this year, it would be one of the few highlights of a lousy season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 QUOTE(whitesox1976 @ Sep 1, 2007 -> 01:21 AM) I am he gets it this year, it would be one of the few highlights of a lousy season. Actually, as far as highlights are concerned, I'd say this year was probably pretty good. Buehrle's no-no, Jenks tying the most consecutive set down streak, and - even though he's a Blue Jay - Thomas hitting 500. The season itself has just sucked.

Kalapse Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 He missed one by a foot today, would have been a HR in most ballparks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapkomet Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I really hope he doesn't start pressing and continues to pound them over to get to 500 this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 QUOTE(kapkomet @ Sep 9, 2007 -> 08:00 PM) I really hope he doesn't start pressing and continues to pound them over to get to 500 this year. Thome doesn't strike me as the "pressing" type. If his 400th was any indication then #500 will come within the week. He hit 6 HR over a 7 game span during the 2004 season to go from 394 to 400, he actually hit #401 the very next day. Homering in 3 consecutive games starting with #496 is a very good sign, Jim tends to hit HRs in bunches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
