Im about as big a SOX fan there is, and Frank Thomas' weekend was pretty amazing ..................considering most of us saw him do this on a daily basis for all those years he was here. I smiled (again, I used the word bittersweet) because for whoever sat on the fence not sure of Frank being a 1st HOF'er, he sure is now. Heck, some articles even said that was an MVP weekend/season he's had. Sorry, im just not going to Blindly HATE a player because hes not a SOX anymore. Its not like he WANTED to leave ......

Doesn't mean I want him to get a single hit off of the Sox. dont get me wrong, I hoped Frank would go 0 for 12, (we win that series) I cant stop Frank, all I can do is when he gives our pitching staff the beat-down, all you can do is APPRECIATE just how good the guy is, and what he did for us ............. he'll always be SOX in my eye, and you know what? He thinks the same thing ........... QUOTE(Heads22 @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 10:59 AM) Nothing kills a team more than dropping 2 out of 3 before the All-Star break. Yes. Nothing kills a team more than dropping 2 of 3 before the All Star Break, knowing you were going to have 4 off days in a row, to a team thats Playing very well and up till that point, for the rest of the season, represented the schedule getting much tougher down the stretch. They played lethargically that series and of course, it carried over to the next weekend ............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Seriously Hangar... you're just not making your arguement very well. We're all (mostly) Thomas fans around here... but we certainly don't put him in front of our team. You do. Fine... we get that. There were warning signs all over the place with this team. Hell, I can argue the opening series of the year, and starting out 1-4 was a warning sign. They didn't have the same fire. But I certainly didn't "give up" on them, nor have I now. I hope they make it, I want them to make it, and I certainly won't talk down on them. Criticize, sure. Talk down? Nope. A few people could learn the difference.

The Critic Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I sure didn't smile when Frank was killing the Sox this weekend. And July is way too early to have given up on this team. Hell, yesterday might end up being too early for me to have given up on them, we'll see. But there's no joy in this, and not one smile, at least not for me.

The Twinks are going to win the division. The SOX and Tiggers will both try to limp into the wildcard. We need a complete collapse by the Tigers to make the wildcard .................... can it happen? I know this for sure, we cant keep playing the way we have since July .............

Chisoxrd5 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Note to everyone: There is a large group of Sox fans who find more pleasure in rooting negatively than positively. This is the same group that enjoys watching the cubs lose more than watching the sox win. I'm not naming names... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpringfieldFan Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Thomas will always be a Sox?. I don't buy that. I appreciate all he did alright - up till 2006. I will always appreciate and smile at what he did - but I could care less what he does now. "Always a Sox" - yeah, hold on to that thought when you see him wearing green during his induction ceremony. SFF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
