Thome’s two homers, four RBI help Sox, Floyd pick up big win vs. Angels

Another victory against an elite American League team was nice, but White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen has set the bar.

A .500 record won’t get it done in the AL Central, and neither will a handful of wins above .500.

“Right now, the way our division plays, you don’t know how many games you have to be over .500, but .500 is not going to win it,” Guillen said Wednesday. “Five games over .500 is not going to win it. You’ve got to be better than that. I truly believe that.”

Ozzie Guillen can’t give a time when it’s going to begin, but the White Sox manager knows it’s in place and soon ready to go. Opposing teams facing the White Sox, beware.

Guillen’s prediction centers on Jim Thome, the Hall of Fame-bound designated hitter, who finished 1-for-4 with a walk and four big RBIs in Saturday’s 8-7 victory over the Twins. After a slow start that had Thome hitting .198 as of May 10, he moves into Sunday’s first-half finale at the Metrodome with a .253 average and 47 RBIs to rank third on the team in that particular category.
