September 12, 200718 yr QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 12, 2007 -> 02:42 PM) Cool, I've got tickets for Friday. Thursday is an off day. I think I might have a chance to see 500. No offense, but I hope he gets it today. After the way that the Indians fans treated him, I would love to see Big Jim stick it to them.

September 12, 200718 yr I, for one, am happy that Jim Thome has gone on a huge tear during the garbage time of this season. Good for him. Oh, it's quite the achievement when he hits it, but I'm so disappointed by the timing of it.
September 14, 200718 yr QUIET! I am there tonight and I want to see it TONIGHT so I can have at least one highlight for the season besides... besides.... besides...

September 14, 200718 yr Thome needs to hit it tonight. I'll actually be able to see today's game but I'll be busy all day tomorrow so that's a no go. As Thome's biggest (probably a tie) supporter and fan in Chicago it's very important that I see it live.
September 14, 200718 yr QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Sep 14, 2007 -> 04:00 PM) Hit it tomorrow, Thome. I'm taking the kids and they'd love it. They won't be disappointed by the timing of it?

September 14, 200718 yr It really is incredible Jim Thome has to be defended at all. He's done his job as well as anyone on the White Sox has done theirs since he's been here. I hope he hits one on the concourse tonight.
September 14, 200718 yr My sister just called me. She's at the game, first row above the Bullpen Bar, and she got me two green caps. She's a Cubs fan, but she wore her Bears jacket instead of her Cubs jacket so she "wouldn't disrespect the Sox in their building". She told me if she catches #500, she'll give it to Thome if he gives her a jersey autographed to me. I love my sister.

September 15, 200718 yr The interview done before the game with Thome's dad and wife was just awesome.
September 15, 200718 yr QUOTE(Texsox @ Sep 14, 2007 -> 11:14 PM) Where fans standing for each at bat? Probably in front of their seats.
September 15, 200718 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 15, 2007 -> 01:21 AM) Probably in front of their seats. LOL Seriously though, I was there, and yes. Everyone was standing, and cheering, each at bat. Thome appeared to definitely be swinging for the fences. but he couldn't get it done. Oh well. Fun game anyway.

September 16, 200718 yr I'm very upset that I didn't get to watch this, but what an amazing way to get it!!!
September 16, 200718 yr Awesome for Jim to get it at home, as a game-winner, and on his own bobblehead day! CONGRATS, BIG MAN!!!!!!
September 16, 200718 yr That's such an awesome way to get it, Congratulations Jim Thome!!!!!!!!! Edited September 16, 200718 yr by WilliamTell
