White Sox Josh

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 01:33 PM) Give me a break. no. It's obvious Kenny hates Frank.

QUOTE(WinningUgly85 @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 02:11 PM) I agree this jackass is full of s***. No player on the Sox roster has ever gotten a standing ovation like Frank Thomas. He is one of the greatest hitters in our franchises history. For this asshole to say that we got rid of him like a broken down building to make way fir new condos is not just disrespectful to the Big Hurt, but the entire White Sox Organization and the Die Hard fans. I hold Frank Thomas with the most outmost respect. I respect him for staying with the White Sox organization his whole entire career when he could have left for more money. I pride in the fact that he hasn't taken steroids and remains one of the top hitters in the game today. Frank is a people person and when I met him during spring training at Electric Park, he was very open and willing to take time to talk to the fans. If its anyone who doesn't show respect to Frank Thomas its the media. to say Juan Uribe is better than Frank and that we respect him more. I am a Juan Uribe fan but come on.

QUOTE(Wealz @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 01:54 PM) I guess JR created a stir in DC yesterday when he said that the 2.7M the Nats drew last season wasn't all that great for a franchise's inaugeral season in a city. Anyway, I guess he was asked by a DC reporter if last season was a success. The rest is taken from a Nats message board: "I was listening to WTOP and they had a clip of Reinsdorf being asked about the success of last season at which point he replied "Yes it was a success." then the elevators were closing and he add "For the White Sox." After seeing this picture, I see they were laughing at his "joke." Picture: http://media3.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co...05120101867.jpg I love it. just rubbing it in to all of the other baseball executives. And he should.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 07:50 AM) I don't know that lady, or that mouse, and I always - ALWAYS - bring my own snacks to the movies. So yeah, that theatre. I love that theatre, actually. I've seen more interesting movies there than I have at every other theatre I've ever been to combined. So for that fact alone, a herd of mice ( do mice come in a herd? A flock of mice? A gaggle of mice? Den? Coven? Bunch? ) can s*** non-stop in the popcorn and have a piss-in-the-lemonade party and I don't care. i agree. I saw the Hank Greenberg movie at that theatre. i like how they have a stage in the back of the theatre because they used to do live performances.

I doubt Kenny made any real effort to try to call Frank and work something out. He was probably counting down the days till he could get rid of Frank. I know this has been said in this thread but it just pisses me off. I would be interested to see Reinsdorf's reaction to the Frank situation.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 12:28 PM) I absolutely love Rachel Nichols, it think she's super hot!! It's funny how she does the sex kitten act when reporting Rachel Nichols=HOT!!

My god. The Marlins are going down the drain. Do they trade Willis now or do they build around him?

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 11:46 AM) While I don't completely disagree with some of the things he said in this column, I think Morrissey seriously underestimates the way Sox fans feel about Frank, and I also didn't see the point in rehashing some mistakes Frank made years ago. Its going to be tough for most Sox fans to see him go. I was 9 years old when he came into the league and he's been my favorite player ever since. While I think he hasn't always handled the media well, and has sometimes been a little oversensative to criticism, in the end, the fans never turned on him...and he always seemed to appreciate the fans. So, in Morrissey's perspective, I guess I can see why him and other members won't be shedding many tears over Frank's departure. There were times where Frank was treated unfairly by the media, and there were times where Frank brought it on himself. But for the Sox and their fans, he was and will continue to be a favorite and there is nothing but admiration. And he'll know that during his first at-bat at the Cell (unfortunately as an opposing player) in '06. (and Josh, I think your forgetting that the stuff written about Sosa after his departure weren't exactly rosey.) yes but they did have some articles about "good" memories.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 01:21 AM) Did you ever bet on sports though? 20 bucks on the Super Bowl once. I won. Most of the time it's not a lot of money and it is only for special events.

QUOTE(SoxPride56 @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 11:32 AM) Someone needs to take a step back and just chill a little... :headshake it doesn't make you bother you at all that this s*** is going on?

Sorry if this was already posted. Moronissey This jackass is so full of s***. How did he get a job? I'm sorry but this s*** wasn't nearly as bad when Sosa left. They at least had "great" memories about him. This just disrespects Frank. To say that Frank is selfish is bulls***. He played with a ton of pain this year because he wanted to win with the Sox. Everybody has their faults. Frank is to honest sometimes but the media makes goes overboard and the stuff he says. This joke never takes in to consideration that Frank unlike some jackasses never took Steroids. He did it the clean way. My mom could write a better article about baseball and she doesn't even know almost anything about the sport. How can the media hate a player like this so much? Do you know the reason Frank wanted to become a Baseball player? Because his sister died of Leukemia. He said in his biography that he playing baseball would let him raise enough money to be able to cure Leukemia. He donates a ton of money to charities that try to Leukemia. Why isn't that talked about here?

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 01:08 AM) What is an online bet worth to me? i will make you a sig of Chris Young. A sig bet.

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 1, 2005 -> 10:21 PM) NIU = Chokers. They seemingly always choke in the "big" game. It's too bad, Novak's one of the nicest coaches I've known. Can't even come close to saying the same about many other people in their athletic department or were in their athletic dept. yet he b****es about the MAC not going to the BCS.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 12:52 AM) Yeah I was always a big fan of Gordon's.... I was so pissed when we lost him to the yanks Although didnt we get Gio Gonzalez because of that... or was that because of Colon? and yes we did.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 12:52 AM) Yeah I was always a big fan of Gordon's.... I was so pissed when we lost him to the yanks Although didnt we get Gio Gonzalez because of that... or was that because of Colon? have you ever read the Stephen King book The Girl who Loved Tom Gordon . If you haven't read it. BTW I always was a huge flash gordon fan. I used to love watching that nasty curveball. Filthy.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 12:50 AM) The only pitcher you can make a case for having over those 2 is Buehrle.....And if he didnt mean so much to this team id take those 2 over him. Ask any non-homer baseball fan or hell major league scout or whatevr and they will tell you the same about Prior/Zambrano. I will make a bet with anyone on this board that Contreras finishes the 06 season with more wins, IP, better ERA, more Complete Games, and less walks than Zambrano or Prior.

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 12:47 AM) WOW! I'd gladly exchange Prior or Zambrano for Garcia or McCarthy in a heartbeat. I'd also be willing to bet that those two will have a better season than Contreras this year also. i will take that bet. Contreras wins 20 games in 06. The others don't combine to win 25. You do remember that Contreras was the best pitcher in baseball in the 2nd half and should've had more than 15 wins had he not gotten screwed in the first 2 months with s*** run support.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 12:42 AM) Half the time I dont know why i respond to your posts anymore..... Ok if wins matter so much than Garland is our best pitcher right? And Garland is better than Santana since he had 2 more wins... how about Clemens he must totally suck right he didnt get 15 wins. Zambrano is a stud...plain and simple and is under-rated and under-apreciated.... Although I hate when he grabs his balls all the time. Prior has had some injury problems lately but he works out a lot... our very own B-Mac has credited Prior for helping him some I think. And he has perfect mechanics so I think unlike Wood it has been more of a fluke than a trend. And when he has been healthy he has showed he is the real deal. Hell last season was an injury riddled one and he still performed pretty well. Clemens ERA was about 1.5 runs lower. Zambrano is a head case who will have months where he has a great month, bad month, great 2 months, another bad month. BULLs*** ABOUT PRIOR HAVING INJURY PROBLEMS BEING A REASON! He pitched in 27 games this year. That has nothing to do with him throwing 100 pitches in 5 innings. That means that he won't have a shot at getting a win in a close game and that is his fault.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 12:40 AM) Zambrano led the cubs in wins last season. i meant 2004. I should've wrote that. Anybody who thinks Prior or Zambrano could be anything more than a #5 starter on this team right now is delusional.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 12:37 AM) Flash + Marte in '03 was so filthy. it was game over when those 2 guys came in. At least Flash is still a great pitcher.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 12:32 AM) Zambrano/Prior >>> Maddux.... heck they probably would both be our 1's. please put down the bong right now. The question is if they could be our number 5's? None of those pitchers won 15 games this season.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 12:29 AM) ^ who led the Cubs in innings? Last year he led the Cubs in wins? He also started the most games for the cubs? He doesn't let his emotions get the best of him? If i had game 7 of the world series and i could pick anyone of those pitchers it would be Maddux. Also what has Prior done besides 2003? He is living off the hype. His ERA was very high for an NL ACE. He also had that habit of throwing 100 pitches in 5 innings which meant he couldn't go deep into games.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Dec 1, 2005 -> 03:41 PM) I saw this at the Music Box theatre when it first came out. I f***ing LOVE this movie! "Looks like you got hit with a ugly stick, BOB!" Nice twist on Little Red Riding Hood, it is.... you mean the movie theatre that the lady found mouse droppings in the popcorn.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Dec 1, 2005 -> 04:24 PM) Strongly disagree...Napoleon and Freeway are great movies! agreed and Shawshank shouldn't be on that list. What i guess I meant to say are B-Movies. Movies that the critics hate and tons more hate but you like. Movies that are so stupid but are entertaining because of that. 2 Fast 2 Furious is that for me. I'm not saying it is stupid but it doesn't have a brain in it's head and it is intended to be that.
