News: Frank Thomas, who left Wednesday's game with a strained right quad, was placed on the 15-day DL with that injury.
Views: Nice timing, with the A's about to embark on a nine-game run in NL parks. Expect him to return, oh, when this round of interleague games are over.
Frank Thomas's nickname "The Big Hurt" should be changed to "Always Hurt", he is always on the DL. When is the last season he played the entire season without going on the DL ? Or has he ever not gone on the DL for an entire season?
