done deal cause they got jim thome? really? the strikeout king?

beating.vegas · Dec 12, 2005

no.

done deal because they are the best team in baseball, and adding 40 homeruns and 130 rbi's will not hurt.:drink:

BC-Eagles · Dec 12, 2005

they WERE the best team in baseball...it's not even spring training yet

beating.vegas · Dec 12, 2005

vegas already comped my trip last season, giving me 25 to 1 odds for the whitesox winning

now they are giving 17-1 odds, whos the fool.

BCTTWR · Dec 15, 2005

I'll cover that bet! Just kidding. Good luck. Sad to say though, Vegas does not comp winners. Go easy at the tables.

As long as people waste $$ on the Yankees and Red Sox to win the WS, the White Sox are a STEAL at +1175 (Pinnacle). A lock is the White Sox over 92 wins (Pinnacle).

BV-you know how much I hate the White Sox too, but I know value.

Sure, cause in baseball injuries mean nothing. If that were the case, whose the clear cut favorite? I think Chi Sox would be a safe bet. But let's be real here...the last back to back MLB champion? 1962. Couple that fact with injuries that actually kill clubs by mid-season, and your "odds" are aren't looking too pretty. Oh and Thome? You speak of Thome like he is the next coming of Mark McGuire during his farewell tour. Fact of the matter is, with your thinking, Frank Thomas should put up 40 HR this year as a DH in Oakland as well. Translation : Not going to happen.

White Sox are a younger team than the two "popular favorites". Considering they won with Thomas out for the majority of the year, anything Thome gives is a bonus. Podsenik was hurt for the majority of the second half too. Didn't see the Twins or Cleveland get better this offseason.

thome had a bad back last year, if he is healthy at 90%, he will be in the top 3 of dh's.

and they say he is feeling better than he ever has...comeback player of the year, the mvp of the league (should of been, got robbed); and that homerun he hit in the playoffs was incredible, and the best pitching staff to boot

done deal guys, stop fighting it and get your 10-1 odds:toast:

i'll take a 65% thome over carl everett any day of the week. :103631605

for what it's worth...white sox will do well...best starting rotation in baseball...2nd best bullpen behind the angels...the addition of thome is not going to hurt...big question is can thome stay healthy...is he getting to a point in his career that he can't overcome the injuries.
