Jason?

Do you want to know the terrifying truth, or do you want to see me sock a few dingers?

Explanation:

In my world, Jim Thome always speaks in ALL CAPS, calls Morneau “Jason,” calls Kubel “Jeremy,” and only listens to Hagar-era Van Halen.

Whoever is doing that is doing the lord’s work.

Oh my god.

Thank you. Hahaha.

Thome:

Thome: Now see, when I hit a home run, I like to try and bounce it off seat #18D over there in section 131. Now, of course that depends on the wind, the humidity, your bat speed, and of course the type of pitch he’s throwing you. Now if he comes inside, you might find your home run landing as far east as seat #6D, or if it’s outside, your homer might land as far west as 21D. It’s all in the turn, Justin. Back in the 90’s I might have been as high as row R or S. With a nice wind at my back, maybe even as far as row W!

Justin: (thinking) This blabbermouth is what they mean by “great clubhouse guy?”

The beard abides.

Thome: Try pulling it to beat the shift

Justin: Appreciate the advice, but could you get out of the batters box, I’m having a tough enough time batting from the right side of the plate.

by MUPete on Mar 11, 2010 4:51 PM EST reply actions  

Off the foulpost, over the bleachers, between Gardy and Punto, and into Lavelle’s burrito.

Thome: I used to hit 'em all the way out there. I bet I still can....

Morneau: That’s what she said….by the way, where’s Mauer???

Thome: Mauer said when his contract is done...

he’s going to buy that one and that one and that one.
Morneau: He’s going to buy three cars?
Thome: No. Dealerships.

The only stat that counts is W

Thome:

I was being intentionally walked one time, and I homered a pitch this high.

Justin: Shhhh. Don’t let Delmon hear you.

Jim: Maybe you should try left field...I don't care. Either way I'm the First Baseman now.

Justin: Uh….gardy…..

Thome's Comment

“My glove? No, I haven’t seen it for years… I think it’s over there somewhere… "

"Jimmy Key? What's he like, 45? I could hit him."

Thome: Next time he hugs Gardy, I’m going to palm Punto’s head and pick him off the ground…just like this.
