Chasing History

Jim Thome is on the verge of Phillies history after whacking a pair of dingers in the team's 10-inning defeat of the Braves today. Thome's homers were No. 46 and 47, putting him just one behind Mike Schmidt on the all-team single-season list. Man, he's a hell of a fun guy to watch play.

And how about the Phillies getting to John Smoltz in the ninth again? If only it meant something. . . .
