QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 08:34 PM) If Stevenson could of won a sectional in yoru tenure, you would of as well. Warren will probably win it again this year, but I'm too old to rush. Not to mention I'm working. I didn't rush the field when we made it to the state championship in football my sophomore year.

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 08:26 PM) I stormed the floor once in high school after Warren beat Zion in 1995 to win the Waukegan Sectional. That's cute.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 06:53 PM) Any idea on what happened in the intersquad game today? We won.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 07:17 PM) Let the best Pizza win: My contribution: Lou Malnati's ^^^ Also, when I was in town for soxfest my dad took me to some place called "due's" I believe? First time I ever had it and it was absolutely delicious.

Ridiculous floor rushes continue.

West Virginia en fuego.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 04:52 PM) That's what I want to know more about. How Frank is regarded as a teammate. I certainly never heard Frank being called the clubhouse leader, yet, I've never really heard or seen him badmouthed. In fact, there's guys like Uribe (and Rowand, too, correct?), who have been helped immensely by Thomas, and seemed to have been pretty close friends. Like I said, I'm sure there are mixed feelings about Frank in the clubhouse, you've mentioned a few guys who he has(had) good relationships with, it's also been pretty obvious over the years that Paul never liked Frank.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 04:51 PM) "I never got a chance to ask those questions [before]," Konerko said. "I've never really had a guy that I could look up to on my team that you know I could gain a lot of knowledge hitting-wise. "We have a great coaching staff, hitting-wise, with Greg Walker and Harold Baines. There are a lot of guys who have been great hitters and been in big games. But there aren't too many hitters I've been around who have been older and who I've seen eye-to-eye with." You suck.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 04:50 PM) Paul said something to the effect that the organazation did a lot for him last year. Which I agree with somewhat. Besides that, he hasn't had anything bad to say. "I never got a chance to ask those questions [before]," Konerko said. "I've never really had a guy that I could look up to on my team that you know I could gain a lot of knowledge hitting-wise. "We have a great coaching staff, hitting-wise, with Greg Walker and Harold Baines. There are a lot of guys who have been great hitters and been in big games. But there aren't too many hitters I've been around who have been older and who I've seen eye-to-eye with."

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 04:46 PM) That's what I'm talking about. Players and coaches have had nothing but good things to say about Frank. Yet Kenny makes the "my players" and "my staff" hate Frank blah blah blah speech. That's one person. I'm sure there are mixed feelings on Frank as a person, and even Paul in a recent article kind of took a little jab at Frank.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 04:45 PM) I think he's more pissed about the "Frank Nation" quotes, which are pretty stupid in the first place. Of course, JMO. Aren't you to little to be discussing this?? I'm sorry, I had to.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 04:40 PM) What in here is ripping on the team. Maybe the editor twisted some of the quotes so that it didn't look like he was bashing the team. :rolly

We've all read the damn article wsj, no need to take up more space in this thread by re-posting it.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 04:36 PM) I understand that. But Kenny got personal. Nobody had to know about Jerry loaning him money. It wasn't his place to say "my players and "my staff" are glad Frank is gone. Who the hell is he to speak for those guys? Once again, I agree, the personal stuff was to far but he just exploded and everything came out. I wish he wouldn't have went the personal route but he did and like I said earlier I'm sure he'll regret it later but he was blinded by anger and probably couldn't think at the time. He was pissed and Frank brought that on himself.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 04:30 PM) You would have to be a complete fool to think Frank isn't in some ways at fault, or to think Frank has been a saint his whole career. I realize the kinda guy we're dealing with. He's very emotional and says stupid s*** sometimes. That's just the way he is. But to act like Kenny is some kinda hero because of what he said yesterday is pathetic. No one has called Kenny a hero. That being said sometimes a person can only take so much, you can tell by watching his interview that this was built up for a long, long time, he just exploded all at once. I'm sure he'll regret later some things he said but sometimes when frusteration has been built up for so long you can't help what you say. I know someone is going to say he shouldn't have done it in the public, etc, etc, and I agree but there's a point and time where you just can't take s*** anymore.

This is turning into the soxtalk civil war.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 04:24 PM) The point being? I will love Thomas nearly no matter what comes out of his mouth. Does that mean I can't be objectional and I have to stand by him no matter what he says? The point being, Jordan said some people are in the kenny can't do no wrong camp because of what he did this year, it goes both ways, some people are fans of the team just cause of Frank and have him in the can't do no wrong camp as well. It's a two way street.

I need one of those.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 04:04 PM) And you fickle fans that want to act like a guy wasn't s*** because he unfortunately wasn't able to be part of a magical title run are even more comical. Will somebody please pull up some of the old "fire Kenny" threads from last September? Or how about a certain someone saying they hoped that the Sox didn't make the playoffs.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 03:54 PM) Nobody should be amazed that a player gets into a school for football or basketball. EVERY SCHOOL IN AMERICA cheats to get players qualified to play sports, end of discussion. Ding Ding.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 03:50 PM) Thomas wasn't the one who threw around the personal attacks. That was KW, not Frank. Honestly, his comments weren't a whole lot different than from what Benjie Molina said of the Anahiem organization a month or two ago. I didn't see comments from Bill Stoneman calling him a selfish idiot... Good to see those comments today. Hopefully this thing will just die. It wasn't just Frank's comments as of late, Kenny just finally had enough and you could tell in that interview. Frank's latest comments just pushed it over the edge I guess you could say. Whatever, hopefully this thing will just die soon.

Add me to the list that thought it was David.

Ha, ya, of course they misgraded it.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 02:23 PM) Non-story. If they suspend KG, that's just flat out ridiculous. ^

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 08:29 AM) Fixed it. You don't matter.
