Baggs... are you sure about this..? IIFC, JB has just gotten married and didn't want to stay in Chicago so it was kind of a mutual trade..? ( )

bump...

I'm betting on the first one...

I thought someone wasn't posting in this thread anymore..... ?

OMG Carol.... For the LAST damn time.. Ozzie did NOT call Frank out.. !! :banghead :banghead

There's a team capt every year.. honestly, I have no idea who it's been for the past several years. The last one I know of was Robin.

:banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead

Not at all... I guess I just fail to see the value in making snide comments which only alienate other posters.. To each his own.

It's only 15 minutes for us. And we won.

DA... this one has tunnel vision. Accusing everyone else of being closed minded and bias, yet only able to preech his own opinion and not see the other side. :headshake

That's what time we left to go gamble..

Thank you....

Around here at 4am :sleep

His comment was specifc to Frank... I was jumping the gun and opening it up. he didn't metion calling or getting calls from anyone else - although I did ask if he had called and talked to Maggs in light of trying to dump him... My call was pretty much what I've said here... "Why is this any of our business? Why do you idiots ask these questions? Why don't we worry about our pitching.. 2B issue.. and what happens between the lines?" Oh.. I called Kenny classless, too

This was on my AOL board regarding Greenstein's article last Sunday. "I often complain about the media and how they report on things. How they often attempt to make news and not just report it. Sunday's Tribune Teddy Greenstein article proves this complaint. Teddy talked the Trib into sending him to Vegas in search of Frank Thomas in his off season home. I think to p him off. Seems Frank's not talking to any media till spring training. But that isn't good enough for Teddy. He wants to remind Frank of what Ozzie said and how he fought with Manual and Konerko. How he's not making mega bucks with a big contract. He wants to start a Frank "controversy" for spring training. After trying to reach him thru various connections he flies to Vegas and hangs around the gym Frank works out at hoping he will come in. He doesn't. Then he attempts to find out if he frequents any local restaurants. Finds it. But then discovers he's not been in lately, but the waiters love him because he tips well. He reports to spending 3 days hoping to run into Frank. He even follows Frank's girlfriend thru the airport hoping he is picking her up. He does run into Arron Rowand, who defends Frank's silence. He goes home without any Frank quotes to start the controversy rolling before spring training. Back home he hears from another Chicago reporter who saw Frank at the health club. Told him he's not talking till spring training. Well, well. Some fine detective work there. I think the Trib should make him pay for the trip himself. I'd like to think that Frank's silence is nothing more than a lesson he should have learned a long time ago. Seems there was a stupid quote from Frank every year that the boys and girls with the press passes would turn into "THE WORLDS MOST IMPORTANT STORY !!!" This is not journalism this is attempting to make a story. A poor story as well. " That pretty much sums it up.

Jim.. agree. The entire ball of wax is messed over there. It's like a train wreck.. ya just can't turn away..

Seeing as it's a Thursday.. I would say no.

Is that for Friday or Saturday night..?

Jim.. I'm not a big Frank fan at all.. My only issue with all of this is why it their tiff any of the public's business..? IMO.. it's ignorant to air your dirty laundry in the press and in the real world the CEO would fire an empolyee who spoke out like that. On the plus side... KW make himself look even more like an idiot - if that's possible.. - by admitting his players don't give a s*** about him and have no respect for him to even return his calls. Karma....

It's funny... on the way home I thought of a million other things I could have said..I need to write a script in the future

And ya know what.. if M,J,& H had any balls they'd say what they felt, too. Gezzus.. I don't think Frank should be ignoring them.. but WHY is that OUR business. No friggin class. None what so ever..

Oh well.. done with work so I'm out of here... Sorry Flash.. I completely forgot to plug..

This caller is my hero!!!

Oh this idiot caller cracks me up... "get another bat".. And here they go backpedaling... "Frank is not a cancer in the clubhouse. His teammates are amused by it"

Oh.. this is just the begining.. I do this about 10 times a year. A bit earlier this year...
