QUOTE(MSHAWKS @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 11:51 PM) He was great.....in April and May. He is nothing but a rent-a-player whose White Sox legacy looks to be that he was on the most talented White Sox team not to make the playoffs. He's an endnote in White Sox history. I just hope that when Frank's statue is unveiled on the outfield concourse, when his number is retired, and when he is inducted in to the hall-of-fame you don't revert to being a fan of Frank's. QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 08:28 PM) Ummm, what? How exactly has Thome been struggling??? August: .329/.453/.586 September: .358/.410/.581 Thome's worst month was June when he went .264/.371/.514 You must mean he was great... In April, May, July(.299/.384/.621), August, and now September. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/splits?playerId=2604 So, out of the 5 months that have been played, Thome has been "great" in 4 of them. Yeah, he was only great in April and May..... QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Sep 11, 2006 -> 09:07 AM) September Stats: Frank Thomas .395 AVG .439 OBP .947 SLG 1.386 OPS 7 HR 18 RBI Ryan Howard .559 AVG .674 OBP 1.285 SLG 1.939 OPS 7 HR 10 RBI Frank is doing his best to keep up with Ryan Howard this month, but frankly, I am disappointed. His OPS is only 1.386? That ain't gonna cut it. Howard is a statistical and physical freak. What an amazing talent

if I never hear that Kelly Clarkson car commercial again it will be too soon.

ha, Hawk just said that Freddy got a standing round of ovation, lol

Im shocked. Wait, no I am not. If I were a rich, partying hotel heiress you can be damned sure that I would have a chaffeur on hand so that this wouldnt happen. If Paris isnt getting plastered and driving, she is handing the keys to her equally plastered boyfriend(at the time) and letting him get DUIs. Somebody please tell me when this Hilton fascination is over. I still cannot figure out what she has done in the first place to make her famous.

Young has to be pissed. He was looking at a pretty good shot at the postseason, now he cant even make another teams roster for the postseason this year. Its like the Bulls holding on to John Starks until the trade deadline was over so he couldnt make the playoffs with another team.

i remember when that story came out. The fish pictured died during its capture, so they cut up the fish and fed the local village. No joke, the fish fed an entire village.

I read this messageboard first thing this morning, and saw this thread and couldnt help but believe it was somewhat of a hoax, because it wouldnt be the first time this guy was claimed killed by a snake/crocodile/dingo pack/kangaroo/etc. Its hard to believe that he died swimming with Stingrays rather than feeding his 15 foot saltwater crocodiles at his zoo. RIP steve, you always made us all watch and laugh.

Is Kyle Snyder a former White Sox minor leaguer? His name looks familiar

QUOTE(Hangar18 @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 02:01 PM) I'll take a Line-Drive hitting Frank Thomas over a Swing-for-the-fences Thome anyday of the week. The only reason I was OK with the Thome deal, was because the SOX werent sure about Frank Thomas and his injury issues and understood they couldnt take that chance again. Now that it seems that he was misdiagnosed in the 1st place, it has made me quite angry How is it a misdiagnosis? Frank went down 3 years in a row to an broken left ankle. The Sox werent in a position to baby him along anymore and hope that he would be ok, the bar has been raised and the Sox had to make a move for someone they felt could contribute more. Its easy to sit back and say "Oh yeah, Frank has 30 hrs this year, the Thome has 36 and has been on the DL lately, that trade sucked.", but the Sox wouldnt have had their early success in the year that put them in a position to win the division(or wildcard for that matter) without Thome and his incredible start this year. There was no misdiagnosis. Frank broke the navicular bone in his ankle multiple times, and for a big man, it is amazing that he has been able to bounce back this year and have a respectable year. Im happy for him, but I understand why Kenny had to make the move that he did.

Methinks you should watch the movie "Trekkies" for a better understanding of the word. The movie shows you many things(probably some things you wish you didnt see), and is good for a laugh if anything

He was traded on Thursday, before the deadline was officially up.

Is Pods still the Sox' player to trade in November, or will he be a FA by then?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Aug 18, 2006 -> 07:35 AM) Why should a tame bear somehow receive more protection than a wild bear? If a wild bear was cornered in a pen, it would have been legal to shoot. Did this bear somehow become a citizen and now has a different set of rights? GMAB, this is a waste of government money. A wild bear is legal to shoot if it is locked in a pen? I think that this is an issue of the "sport" of hunting. I know hunting in itself is pretty cruel and inhumane, but at least wild bears have a sense to run away, that tame bear probably just stood there and let it happen. Either way, it was a pretty lame thing to do to get a trophy on your wall. If you want to brag about a kill, at least have the balls to go out and hunt for it.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 14, 2006 -> 09:47 AM) A-row isnt one of the most obvious cheaters in baseball today. Are you kidding? I was told that Rowand rubs "the cream" on the bridge of his nose every day.....

Thats ok, the Tigers got lucky when they faced the White Sox a few weeks ago when the Sox were struggling. It all evens out.

Once again, Its not his fault..... http://www.comcast.net/sports/index.jsp?ca.../13/454997.html

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 14, 2006 -> 09:46 AM) It was ok. A couple of decent spots, but it still had Rhyno and Monty Brown in the match whom are both awful IMO. To each his own though. If you can download it, it's worth a view I guess. The 3 way match for the X-title was the best match of the night. You could tell Shelly and Sabin was un planned cuz they messed up a few times and seemed kind of tentative and you know those two can put on a great match if prepared. The Main Event was a cluster. Cage and Steiner getting booted after helping their guys, then Cage comes back for no reason to turn on Sting. I'm a big fan of TNA undercard matches, but really want to see new guys pushed to the main events and PPVs in different locations. See, this is why I am avoiding TNA. It just seems to be the second coming of late-90's WCW to me. All of the brand name guys who were dropped from WWE are trying the same backstage political power moves that they pulled on WCW, and they dont seem to understand that they are killing their own promotion because the same guys are always getting the big push. The inmates are running the asylum again. Nash doesnt need to be doing this crap anymore, its always the same story with him. Big buildup with tons of promos(some of them really funny), then when it comes down to gametime he pulls up lame, with the whispers that he doesnt want to job or his in-ring ability isnt good enough to pull off a good PPV. Then they have Jarrett with his 1/2 hour speeches and his neverending hold on the title belt. From what I read and what little I see, TNA has the young wrestlers to make this thing work, but with Jarrett always whispering in Dixie Carters ear they will never get their shot because of the boys club. TNA could be good, they just need to "Let the kids play".

You know, If it had been Jim Thome's first at bat of the game, I could maybe see where it would be nothing short of incredible that Jim Thome could hit a HR after 4 straight fastballs and getting a changeup down and away and hitting it out opposite field. But Thome had seen Verlander twice already, and Verlander was struggling. Plus, Thome has seen him in two previous games, it isnt as if Thome wouldnt recognize a pitch or look for a pitch to drive. Leyland is just being pissy

Damn Comcast put that stat about sweeping the Tigers up a little bit early, LOL
