Too bad the cant trade for a manager, Torre handling of the pen in this game shows how much he sucks, I think half the time he is asleep on the job.

Dodgers making great use of Thome. NOT!

[yisman]

they're using him as a pinch hitter. He said he can't play first base. Besides, they have a first baseman.

[Slim]

Then why trade for him. He was better off in Chicago, playing time wise.

[paco]

Thome couldnt bail em out this time.

to have a good bat off the bench.

He was playing more in Chicago, but they're out of the pennant race and didn't want a 39 year old with a bad back.

Thome is washed up. He will hurt the Dodgers more than help them.
