No Post Tonight - I'm In Mourning

Did you hear the news?  

I did.  

In a text message from a friend at 11:50 PM last night.  

And from another friend in a text at 6:30 AM.  

And when my mom called me at 7:14 AM.  

And every 13 minutes on news radio this morning.  

And when I got to work and a co-worker asked how I was feeling and that she almost sent me an e-Card about it.

And from everyone else that knows I am a Chicago Whie Sox fan.

JIM THOME, MY FAVORITE PLAYER OF ALL TIME, WAS TRADED THIS MORNING TO THE FREAKING LOS ANGELES DODGERS!!!!


For the second time in my life Jim Thome has made me cry.  The first time was when I saw him hit his 500th home run on Jim Thome bobble head day.

Though this time it isn't his fault.

I hate you Kenny Williams.  To quote my father, who was a wise man and a master with words, "I hope you shit in your bed tonight."

No kidding...I thought of you when I heard the news. I was watching the Dbags at Dodgers game when they announced it. I knew you'd mention it here.

Take it from an old sports fan, it's part of the business and it will happen many more times before your last game.

Look at the bright side. With LA you'll be able to watch him play in October.

Sorry, I know that's little consolation but it's all I have tonight.

Always have to find the silver lining, don't you?

Hey, he's not dead! And you never know where he might get traded next year.

My dad would be so proud to know that someone is using his phrase! Let's work that into the lexicon.

Holly's right. Next year he might get traded to the Cubs.
