August 16, 201114 yr As I posted in the young thread MLB had it live what a great moment The announcers ripping on te jeter coverage was right on as well
August 16, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 06:14 PM) I don't care if he is with the Twins... Congrats to the big man! Well.....I'd say that it sucks that he's on the Twins, but yeah congrats, for sure!!! And for the next couple of days, GO TWINS!
August 16, 201114 yr HOFer. Only the 8th player ever and 3, ARod, Bonds and Sosa had some help. Thome has never been linked to the juice. An amazing accomplishment. Aaron, Ruth, Mays and Griffey the only others untainted to do it.
August 16, 201114 yr Something that is also pretty amazing to me, Thome has never hit 3 homers in a game. Hopefully he does it tonight.
August 16, 201114 yr Hey, he's helping the Sox tonight cause the Twinkies are leading the Tigers in the 8th. thanks -- and congrats -- Gentleman Jim.
August 16, 201114 yr Big Jim! Too bad that exclusive club has Arod, Bonds and Sosa there to taint it. Mike and Mike will talk about it tomorrow, and of course it will be all about Mark Schlereth's son giving it up.

Then they'll get back to Mark Sanchez, Notre Dame football and breaking down the Jacksonville receiving corps. If you're a baseball fan, Mike and Mike are a channel changer. They hate baseball.

August 16, 201114 yr He is a class act, no matter what team he is on. Congrats to him. Edited August 16, 201114 yr by SpainSOXfan09
August 16, 201114 yr This is a big deal... 600 had become the new 500 for a while because of all the cheaters, but Thome's not one of them.
August 16, 201114 yr Was there for this one... http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/media/play...b_tp350&v=2 And this one... http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/video/play...91&c_id=cws Sox win 1-0 in both games. Edited August 16, 201114 yr by flavum
August 16, 201114 yr Man i wish we could of had him on that team last year.Hell even this year. To bad our manager thought Mark Kotsay and Andruw Jones were better options. Congrats Big Jim!Keep it up!
August 16, 201114 yr One of the all-time prolific sluggers in the game's history. I'll even admit that I didn't fully appreciate him while he was with us. Congrats!

August 16, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 09:16 PM) Andruw Jones would have been a perfect platoon match for Thome last year. Andruw was good in the OF to. But hey....I guess they would have all been better hitting options than Dunn at this point lol.
August 16, 201114 yr A KW and Ozzie mistake and I said it when the Sox went withe no real DH and had let Thome walk. Wish they would have kept him on the team.
August 16, 201114 yr QUOTE (SpainSOXfan09 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 08:55 PM) He is a class act, no matter what team he is on. Congrats to him. absolutely. WordUpThome.
August 16, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 08:14 PM) I don't care if he is with the Twins... Congrats to the big man! If it wasn't for that sillly manager we have, he would have hit it with us. Kenny could have gotten someone else with that money he paid Dunne - like Adrian Beltre to play 3rd

August 16, 201114 yr ESPN radio had following stat ..............Thome became the second-fastest hitter to reach the milestone, hitting his 600th homer in at-bat No. 8,137. Babe Ruth needed only 6,921 at-bats. Edited August 16, 201114 yr by Soxfest
