Cobb Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Currently sitting at 598 after a solo shot in yesterday's lost against the Angels. Gotta love how there is little to no talk about it. Not to mention, no nightly cut-ins to his at-bats by ESPN. I really hope he gets it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Possible waiver trade candidate (Phillies please!). Although I am guessing it'd be next to impossible for him to fall all the way down to the Phillies on waivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobb Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 At the rate he is hitting them, it could take another month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trutrojan8 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I'm glad I got an ESPN text message alert when he hit #599, even though I got alerts when Derek Jeter was probably around the 2980ish mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trutrojan8 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 He got it, but they haven't said anything about it on ESPN. It's been about 5 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 One of my all time favorites. So awesome. I remember chatting with him ever so briefly during Phillies photo days circa 2003-04. Could tell he is a genuinely incredible guy. Nice to see good things happen to good people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trutrojan8 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 ^Yeah he won the SI player's poll for nicest player at like 22% or something, and the next closest was at like 6% ha. Everyone loves the guy and like you said I'm very happy for him. I think the best part is is nobody questions whether or not he's clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastNiner Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 http://floppingout.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/thomethen.jpg He is or was on the juice. I know it sucks to think that, but in the coming years you will see. I told you about A-Rod, Clemens, ect. I know Ortiz and Manny are juicers too, so if you're going to try and make a comment about them, I could care less, but Thome was a juicer.

Phightins Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 but Thome was a juicer. Link? For the record, even if he did, we will never find out about it. If he hasn't been accused yet, I doubt he ever will be. This isn't 1998 anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
