Hopefully we'll hear from some White Sox/Indians/Phillies fans and bloggers as to nicknames we can use for Thome.
good stuff so far
ned's trying.
belliard went deep today too
Garland was supposed to start Thurs against Dodgers. Instead he will likely start Thursday against Snakes. Whooooaaa, duuuude.
Colletti saying Thome will be pop off the bench, not a 1B. Thome called him and said he wanted to help. Kind of like Eye Chart's (short) old role.
Garland must be pissed, if he would have stayed with the Dbacks he could have on tonight.
touche' Nic
*won
Garland is already going to have his first Dodger live interview.
Garland in tha heezy right now!
"Grew up watching the Dodgers" - Garland
Hells yea!
i know where Garland lives. seriously right down the street.
Granada Hills
Garland said he grew up watching the Dodgers.
Take that Angel Fans!
DB, the synergy between you and I tonight is scary.
lol Manny being interviewed about Thome.
Just turned this into the PGT. Ta-da!
LMAO
Kemp found out from Larry King's kids yelling "we got jim thome!"
only L.A.
well, maybe NY, but not here
I know, Nic. The only difference between you and I tonight is about two Dodger Dogs.
Note to Mrs Dusty: follow Ms Nic J's lead.
What a magician you are, Orel!
"If we have six starters, so be it" _J Torre
Garland: #21
everyone go out and get your garland 21 jerseys
2 quick for me, DB
Some smartass should pipe up and say, "Dusty and NicJ, get a room!"
garland can maybe help us keep kershaw's load down to be ready for the playoffs?
like Joba
I'm off like a prom dress. Hopefully my tickets tomorrow are close enough to Larry King so he can update me on any breaking news.
Dusty Baker from Pasadena, Hello.
oh i got another idea.
maybe Thome can show Loney some more tricks of the trade.
Mattingley and Thome as teachers?
cmon James!
Go get your Thome jerseys!

Getting Garland is a head-scratcher. He is surrenders a lot of hits and sometimes a lot of earned runs. The Dodgers haven't been scoring too many runs lately, so this move is totally beyond me.
Heyman said the guy going to the Dbacks for Garland spent a little time on the main roster, Ellis? Schlicting? Abreu? Stults?
i cant wait to see Thome in blue. this is awesome
Word among some #Dodgers players is that the PTBNL in Garland trade is INF Tony Abreu. He would have to clear waivers to be dealt.
Twitter
I guess Tony Abreu really doesnt exist now.
Colletti and Torre are idiots, we already have about 10 starters.
The Thome move is sweet though.
Kruck on bbtn says that the only reason the dodgers did this deal was to block the giants from getting Thome. I don't think so as the dodgers will wiN the west no matter what.
Why would the giants just go out and get another first basemen? Kruk must of been lightheaded from not eating for the 30 minutes he was on television.
Nic j- + 1
I remember in the 90s sometime I was in a fantasy league and I came in 2nd. The guy who won had Thome, who kept getting big hits and basically won the league for the guy. I think that guy also had Brady Anderson's 50 home runs, but I still blamed Thome.
More than a decade later, Thome is mine (evil laughter)! My masterplan is finally coming together...
could the Dodgers actually claim Thome ahead of the Giants? I thought the claim order when from worst to best
when do we sign Carlos Baerga?
Hey, I had Baerga in that 90's fantasy league! Unless I'm getting my years mixed up. Orel was in the league too for one year.
Baerga was a monster on those Indians teams. Didn't the Dodgers invite him to camp a couple of years ago. We had Alomar Jr for a minute too. What other 90s Indians do we need for the complete set? I think Paul Assenmacher is available
Now we have three Bellies and a T(h)ummy.
@Eric Karros "More than a decade later, Thome is mine (evil laughter)! My masterplan is finally coming together..."
Patience is the key to success.
@Fred's Brim: "when do we sign Carlos Baerga?"
He works as an announcer on ESPN Deportes, making color commentary and hosting Baseball Tonight (which is aired only on Sundays before the game).
so he's available! excellent :)
any idea where Paul Sorrento is these days?
Joe Charboneau cleared waivers. Dodgers interested.
Seeing these two newsworthy pieces of info on the scoreboard last night was amazing! Can't wait to see how Thome and Garland do in Dodger Blue.
Any chance Thome plays 1B at all? Can he still bend at the waist? Are James Loney's pillows soaked with tears today? What's going on? What happened to the Dodgers over the weekend?
Jim Thome won't start at first base for Dodgers (Dodger Thoughts)
So did the dodgers already name promotional sections of the stadium after them?
Thome Thown?
Garland-land?
