Alright, enough of that. Just let it be. Some people are going to root for Frank, and some aren't. This thread doesn't need to be closed again. It'd be nice if this can be a thread to update what's going on with him throughout the season. Just keep the arguing out of it.

Heh, HR. His 449th career HR.

5 hours later, the inning is over. Frank's first AB in an Oakland jersey, in a minute.

I haven't had this game on for a second yet. Opening Day games > this NCAA Championship matchup

That Maury one

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 09:41 PM) A fan just threw a syringe at Barry Bonds. That was pretty solid.

Tomorrow caps off the festivities of the 2005 White Sox with them receiving rings. It'll be neat to see all the former players in the park tomorrow. It's a day game, so that rings well for Freddy. Let's get a W!

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 09:21 PM) Leaving for the park at 10:30 tomorrow. When do the gates open? http://whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/pr...t=.jsp&c_id=cws 11 AM.

The White Sox intro to ESPN's telecast. HQ stuff. http://www.bluefoot.tv/espn1/

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 08:26 PM) Maybe I heard wrong -- I hope I heard wrong -- but was it just me, or did the Crowd boo Boone Logan, Tadahito Iguchi and Don f***ing Cooper during the Opening Ceremonies? Or were they chanting, "Boooooone" "Cooooooope" and "Goooooooooch" and it just sounded like boos? Haha. The latter.

Nite's writing for the White Sox now. http://whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/ar...t=.jsp&c_id=cws

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 07:10 PM) Why was Bush at the Cubs game today? He wanted to meet the team before he left office, and he didn't think they'd ever make it to the White House before his term was up. So this was the next best option.

QUOTE(Cali @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 05:43 PM) Perhaps I missed something previously talked about here, but I thought that Paulie wasn't just a captain in name, I though he was actually gonna get a "C" on his jersey? Is he just a captain in name, or did I miss something? Good point. I forgot about that, but I'm glad he's not wearing it. His team-leading abilities shouldn't be hindered by the absence of the C.

Edited my previous post. I didn't realize I could upload a link on ImageShack. There were a bunch of pics of Thome last night, and there's a few of the HR shots earlier in this thread.

QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 04:33 PM) Nope. He hit the ball hard to center in his second AB, but right to Edmonds. Willie.. is your sig for serious? I mean, come on.. the season just started. He had it all last year. Chillax.

Heh, pretty much.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 04:09 PM) Well then he's off to a s*** start, now isn't he? You still need to fix the year in your sig.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 03:20 PM) P (kills me as a life-long AL fan to say) soup or salad? Salad. Real mail or e-mail.

QUOTE(WinningUgly85 @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 03:14 PM) Rowand will be there now all we can wonder is if the BIG HURT will show up. Do the A's play on Tuesday? Yes, a home game against NY.

I checked out the first one; very cool. Thanks for sharing. And the link for your second isn't working.

This was a good one. The time span of the show was perfect. And you nailed a lot of my opinions of the season starting; it's definitely good to end a lot of the doubts with the games counting for real. And let us know when that autobiography comes out.
