You are defending Frank no? Are you disagreeing that this whole thing could not have been avoided if Frank would have called back his bosses? If you disagree with that then you are making Frank blameless.

Right here where you say NOW I AGREE THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE ANYONE'S BUSINESS!!!!!!! Do you see that? I didn't write that. That is directly from you? It is your whole basis of me changing my mind. If this doesn't mean that I agreed that it was our business then please tell me what this does mean. Your the f***ing liar.

How about right here? NOW I agree that it shouldnt be anyone's business? I never agreed that it should be anyone's business!!

You are obviously missing the point again you hard head. I don't agree with that opinion. You are leaving Frank blameless. Frank could have stopped this whole ordeal by just calling his bosses back. Do you not understand that or do you not want to understand that? When a question is asked and answered I have no problem with that. He answered it honestly and that is the opinion I have. I think you and Kenny also have a different agenda. You want Frank here. I believe Kenny is trying to get Frank to demand a trade.

Where did I say that it was our business? I never said that or defended the reporter(s) for asking the question. I did say Kenny answered the question honestly and that is what people want. What I did say is that it wasn't Kenny's fault for answering the question honestly. Never once did I say it was our business what goes on in the front office.

The opinion I agree on is not the one you seem to share. The opinion I agree on is that everyone in this instance is wrong including Frank for not returning calls in the first place. This is something you never stated and that is one reason I don't agree with your opinion. You seem to think Frank has done nothing wrong. That he is just sitting back minding his own business. That can't be further from the truth. This whole ordeal could have been easily avoided if your buddy Frank would have acted like a professional and returned a few simple phone calls. I was also agreeing on his opinion that it should be off limits to discuss this until spring training starts. I think if you would have read the posts previous to that one that you would have recognized this. Instead you just want to find fault in whatever I post.

Why because someone else does agree with your point of view. Oh how dare they!

You are exactly right.

For my reading pleasure. Do you really care what I think? If not then why do you feel the need to respond to it?

This is great. You could be the next comedic genius. I know I just get a kick out of everything you write. Did you catch the sarcasm?

Woohoo!! another one! keep em coming this is great!

BAAAA HAAA HAAA!!!!! Hysterical!

I thought he was traded to the Mets from Cleveland. I forget for who but I believe it was a young 5 tool OF. Alex Escobar?

I know, I can't wait. Starting a thread about freaking Mo Vaughn? How ridculous is that?

Who cares? To me he hasn't played for the last 3 so what the hell is the difference. ANd how does this even affect the White Sox? Again, who cares?

I couldn't agree with you more!!!!!

Most of these things you are talking about mean basically nothing. Durham sucked so who cares. The San Fran fans were sarcastically thanking us for him last year. I know he was traded to the A's so do go into that. Jimenez was causing the clubhouse to divide, he had to go fast. Maybe no one would give us a damn thing for him. Koch may not end up to be all that bad. Didn't we also get Cotts in that deal? May turn out to be really good for us. Baines was returning as a fan favorite. Konerko was not a bad trade. Lets see what he does this year. I will give you Ritchie, that deal was awful.

I have never heard of this before.

I agree with you, especially with this type of person it is not a good idea. I know your final quote is just to be funny, but I really am not taking sides. I think every single person in this could have prevented it. No one is more at fault than the next. I want my favorite team to win. In order to win we need all of these guys working together. To pit people against each other and for our fans to take sides on people that are on our own TEAM seems kind of ridiculous to me.

Oh, I think you misunderstood what I meant. I don't want him to come forward and speak to the media. I would like him to pick up the phone and call his employeer back. That is what I meant by doing his job. YOu are right he owes me or the fans nothing. He doesnt have to be a team spokes person. I could care less what he does with his personal life. That is not my business nor do I want it to be. That is not what I mean. He still has a job that pays him millions. He owes it to his teammates and the organization to be dedicated to his "job" for the entire year. Unless he wants to be like Sammy the Sosa and start working out after December with his steroids. I believe Frank has also helped get it to this point. If he called Kenny and Ozzie back then Kenny would have had nothing to criticize while opening up his big yap.

I wouldn't know. I have never been on one.

If he won't return your calls how else do you get through to him? It shouldn't have gone this far. Frank is partially to blame for that though. All he had to do was return some calls. If he did then there would be nothing to air out publicly. He is not the innocent guy we are making him out to be.

Well considering we just hired a new manager I believe he would like to talk to Frank about it. Frank has the most tenure with the White Sox on this team, that alone makes him a leader in the clubhouse. Whether he likes it or not that is the way it is. Just because of that I think there is a lot that Kenny would have to talk to him about. I believe he would like to talk to Frank on where he would fit in. Maybe more playing time at first base. See how he would feel about certain situations. Possibly the direction of the team and to see if Frank is on board with that. A lot has happened since the year ended, and Frank hasn't talked to anyone in the organization about it. Kenny is still Frank's boss. If you or I didn't call our boss back in 6 months we would be fired. Not only is that respect, but that is just the way the world works.

Agreed, but once things reach a certain level where do you go? Sometimes there is only so much you can do. If this is his only way to reach Frank, through the media, then he may have tried to do that. I just want this team I love to do well. I hope Ozzie is the manager of the year, Kenny the GM of the year, and Frank MVP. If that is what it takes for my team to win then please let it come true. That is all I really care about. I don't know why a lot of us even want to take sides on our own team. As far as I can see both are wrong for what they are doing. Lets just get this team together, get it settled, and get everyone going in the same direction. hopefully that direction is forward and not backwards.

She, like most of the media, is not a big fan of Frank. I just hope this thing can get ironed out because we really need Frank's bat in the lineup.
