You mean taking an offer he couldn't refuse? I don't blame the Thomenator for taking the Philly's offer--the Players Association probably all but forced him to accept it. It's business, and it's decidedly rare to see loyalty to a particular team--Biggio and Bagwell being some obvious exceptions.
Thome can blow me - that sucked after all that crap he said about how loyal he is; and then he goes for 14 mil vs. 12 1/2. I realize the difference is probably more than I'll ever see but if you're already at 12 1/2, how much more do you need. Anyhow, I'm glad it didn't work out for him at Philly and I hope it doesn't here as well. BTW, nasty storms are headed this way. I'm to the southwest of the ballpark and hoping they'll pass to the west of us.
