fathom Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 27, 2008 -> 12:07 AM) thome now hitting .199 Â Hopefully he can turn it around. If not, maybe he'll have too much pride to continue and retire after 2008. I can't take another year of "bad" Thome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_genius Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 26, 2008 -> 07:07 PM) thome now hitting .199 Â how ironic, our DH has the batting average of an NL pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't take another year of "bad" Thome. we are getting to the point where its a big sample size...hopefully something clicks..but each day that he continues to stink im starting to believe more and more that he is goin through a mark mcgwire esque ending to his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Nick Swisher makes getting a hit seem difficult. Even if he hits it well, it's an easy out. Keep us in this game Javy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&T Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Swisher blows. 50 pitches for Byrd. I would like to say, Swisher gets the strangest strike zone. Every thing that isn't called on anyone else is called against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now at .202 hes been by far the most disappointing guy on the team...where is the power???? Â at least guys like konerko and thome had down years last year and can be attributed to aging...swisher should be entering his prime, hes been so bad i almost cant believe it...and with him i dont buy that its entirely PED related...mainly because, as i said, he was still pretty good last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
