QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 08:11 PM) Nothing to do with either of them. Referring to the childish booing that will likely take place. Led by me and Brian.

Had it since I was 14 or 15 years old and it's great every year. It's a lot better now that ESPN doesn't black out the Wed night games like they used to. Only downfall is the WCIU games and on those hope that the other team's feed is available on the dish. Also, the rare Saturday afternoon games sometimes get me because usually our local Fox affiliate carries either the Cardinals, Cubs, Yankees or Red Sox over the Sox. I'd still say its good for 130+ games a year, which is great. For out of market fans, its a must have, no doubt.

Apparently at this even there will be two different sections: Team Kenny and Team Frank

Pods because it was such a shocker. At least with Konerko you can see him going yard, who would have thought Pods could take someone deep, let alone Brad Lidge.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 10:29 PM) The media, much like in politics, keeps playing up a total non story. And this just in, so do people on soxtalk. I am trying to unite Soxtalk by gathering all of the Thomas apologists and then pissing them all off. It's working well.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 10:33 PM) Whoa...I still think Willie is gonna be at the very least an average 2nd baseman. I still think you are a moron. This just supports my sentiments.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 10:30 PM) Man, you sure are on a crusade. I wouldn't go that far.

Soiled Toilet Paper > Frank Thomas's comments

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 09:25 PM) I'm sorry, they don't give assistance to whether you do something on one foot or no feet. Did Jim Abbot get double the wins since he pitched with only one arm? Health is a factor. We could talk about how Griffey would be close to passing Ruth if he didn't get hurt. Maybe we should just add some hr's for him? Fact of the matter is thats what he hit. I'll give him credit for trying, but he was out there and I'm not going to look past that average. If he wasn't healthy he shouldn't have been trying because he wasn't helping the team (sure he hit some hr's but aside from that he was atrocious). Since you own this joint, you are allowed to say this sort of stuff. Anyone else like myself says it, we're ignorant as f***.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 09:21 PM) on one foot. If you are too hurt to produce don't play. Don't use that as an excuse. Wait, he did it for the fans!

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 09:01 PM) Hey hey, another unnecessary floor rush. Hey hey, nice avatar.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 08:44 PM) And hit like .227 or something retchid like that. How dare you point that out!

QUOTE(Jake @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 07:49 PM) Kenny and his standing up for himself forced me into (ab)using my weak signature making skills. Nice work, you are almost worthy of joining Team Kenny.

QUOTE(quickman @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 08:19 PM) who is the girl in the picture Jewel

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 06:25 PM) Fair enough. I can end on that, and respect that. BTW -- I'm not headbutting my keyboard. I may punch lockers when certain people get traded, but I don't headbutt. I really am not mad. It's just hard for me to hear people defend someone so religiously. The people who truly are mad are the ones who call me ignorant as f***, which for those who have met me from here and several have, is far from the truth. When you are driven to call someone ignorant as f*** based on a message board post, you may have issues.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 06:21 PM) Oh, PLEASE don't even go the Jay Marrioti route of trying to invoke that it's been Frank's fault that the team hasn't won a Series in his time here. Please don't do that... What I think you fail to understand that I am just sitting here laughing while others are probably slamming their keyboards and in some cases maybe even headbutting their children because they are so angry. How many times do I have to say that Frank is the greatest Sox player ever. Just a damn shame he has to go out on such a sour note.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 06:16 PM) I'm just gonna ignore you. I might say something that gets me banned. Wouldn't that be a shame?

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 06:13 PM) I can agree with that. Although I'm glad Frank didn't resort to taking personal shots back at Kenny. He could've easily done so. Here's what Frank could have said:

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 06:12 PM) So now that he didn't respond, he's the good guy? Did we forget who started this? Both KW and Frank took shots. To say Frank is suddenly the good guy is ridiculous. Wait, he's taking the high road. The high road was a month ago. Shut up and play the game. Everytime he talks my head hurts.

What I would like to know is how people can defend anything Frank has said over the past month and then just totally say KW was wrong in everything he said. Frank let this continue by opening his mouth time and time again until there was a breaking point. When asked time and time again about Frank at Soxfest, KW had nothing but nice things to say. Now that KW basically buried him (put in an urn according to Wilbon) Frank wants to take the high road. He didn't take the high road. The high road would have been shutting his mouth upon leaving the team. This is a completely logical and sensible approach to the whole thing.

(waits for heads to close thread)

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 05:47 PM) I hate to say this, but you're being ignorant as f***. What do you mean what does that have to do with anything? It means that either Walker is a fake or Kenny is a liar. Another poster who can't express an opinion without using f*** and ignorant. Stay classy, Soxtalk.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 05:45 PM) I think he's more pissed about the "Frank Nation" quotes, which are pretty stupid in the first place. Of course, JMO. Anyone who actually gets pissed about a post on a message board needs to step away from the keyboard.
