Now they are under an official tornado watch.

there's a byrd! (Throw's paddle). Look at that, not even close.

An old Dominos box or some empty Chinese Food containers.

over 15 years, and suddenly the team tanks... you're probably not gonna see those spoiled fans come back until they've at least won a division series.

I want to use the Cleveland Excuse and blame the economy, but Atlanta's been one of the fastest growing economic hotbeds in the country.

I'm not a Thorton fan, but we can all see that he has/had potential.  they did a good job of getting relievers that teams were tired of waiting for.  They took all of Kansas City's good relievers, Sisco, MacDougal (did they take Burgos?)
Thats not a bad strategy because they're not losing much to get these guys, and one of them has to pan out.
Back to the original topic, I know a White Sox fan last year who repeatedly told me last year that the White Sox screwed us over by getting Thornton, and I kept telling him that Thorton blew big-time, and if the thought too highly of him and put him in situation where the game mattered, the whole thing would blow up in their faces.  I dunno if I was right, but he's proved to be nothing more than a decent lefty out of the bullpen I think.
