I'm incredibly busy over at CBS these days as we work on our season previews and the season creeps ever closer, which means there won't be many posts here in the coming days, but I'd be remiss if I didn't take a moment to congratulate Jim Thome.
Thome hit two home runs last night to give him 600 in his career. Even better, they both helped the Twins beat Detroit and bring the White Sox a little bit closer to first place in the AL Central.
Thome has always been one of my favorite players in baseball, even before he came to the White Sox -- where he hit home run number 500 -- and I'm happy to see somebody that is universally loved finally break the 600 mark these days.
