In case you haven’t noticed, the Dodgers just traded a PTBNL and cash for Jim Thome.
That’s right, the one and only
JI
JIM THOME.
They say he’ll be a bat off the bench, but I say they should just put him at first base and let him play. But that’s not even the point. The point is, THE HERO OF THE DUGOUT IS COMING TO MY TOWN. HE WILL SMASH TATERS THAT WILL GO LIKE THIS:
OFF THE BAT, OFF AN AIRPLANE, AIRPLANE EXPLODES, PASSENGER CLINGS TO BALL AS IT FALLS, PASSENGER FALLS TO DOOM, OUT OF THE STADIUM.
Or maybe even like this:
OFF THE BAT, THE BALL DISINTEGRATES, THE ATOMIC RESIDUE TRAVELS FAR FROM THIS MORTAL PLANE, REFORMS IN HEAVEN, OFF THE FACE OF OUR LORD, OUT OF THE STADIUM.
Suddenly, I care about the Dodgers again.
Did they trade for the 2002 Jim Thome or the current version?
This made me giggle.

Ugh…as much as I hate the White Sox, I hate the Dodgers even more. The only plus side to this is that he’s reunited with Manny. :)
When I woke up and found out this horrendous news I nearly cried. The White Sox are experts at breaking my heart, I should be used to it by now…but I love Jim Thome and I will miss him terribly!
I’m glad someone’s happy with this part of the ChiSox moves. I was certianly more pleased to be rid of Contreras, I tell you.
