There is one guy in the city of Chicago sportsworld who walks right into the owners office and negotiates his contract face to face, without an agent present. Frank and Jerry negotiate contracts with none of the BS. If Frank wants to come back to Chicago next year, and doesn't want an insane amount of money, he will be here. Period.

Ozzie gets a pass? That's rich... What next, Frank Thomas gets a pass?

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 03:20 PM) Okay, good point, but it seems like Frank is really being accommodated in a way that I thought Ozzie wouldn't necessary. With everyone else, they are plugged in wherever they need to be on that day. If Frank is even remotely healthy, he's called up early (after nearly insisting) and then plugged into the three hole as a dh on a daily basis. I could buy that a lot more if Frank wasn't splitting time with Everett essentially. Usually he would be playing everyday, which he has not been. Everett is still seeing a decent amount of PT at Frank's expense. Plus Frank has earned the right to lose his spot in the batting order.

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 03:16 PM) So let's get to the heart of this post then: Thomas is still filling out part of the lineup card, not Ozzie. Why even test it? Frank is killing the ball and drawing walks. He isn't hurting the team in the 3 spot. Why risk a tempertantrum and the clubhouse meltdown for a minimal gain right now? If Frank wasn't hitting this might be a consideration, right now it is just kicking a sleeping dog in the nuts.

QUOTE(Hideaway Lights @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 03:13 PM) Think critically, folks. I realize it's tough to do when we're all high-fiving one another and patting ourselves on the back as fans. So you disrupt your moody superstar who has complained in the past about being moved out of the #3 hole, just to beat Kansas City, who you have beaten 8 straight times anyway? Why risk it? It ain't broke, don't fix it, especially when dealing with Frank.

One for each of the 9 wins against KC

GONG GONG!!!

GONG!!!

MAN_HANDS!!!! Congrats dude

Sox lead 5-1 going to the top of the 9th for a hold em and go sweep series!!!

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 03:02 PM) 24544 is pretty good for a Wednesday afternoon. Too bad I have to reserve all of my vacation time or else I would have trecked out for the game. The new thing in my office is to come up to me and gush about the Sox. Funny part is, before this year, there was only me and the CFO as Sox fans. Suddenly there are a whole slew of Sox fans in this office and personnel hasn't changed lol. LOL. I know the feeling. I am getting that everywhere too.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 02:59 PM) well its based on the fact that the runner would have been at first, then maybe at second and wouldnt have score on that single right? Either way its scored as unearned. Depends on the sequence. If a single comes after the groundout, it would have been earned, because a scorekeeper can't assume a double play would have been turned. So then assumption is that the runner would have been on second after the groundout, thereby scoring on the single, making the run, earned.

Winning another game?

QUOTE(shakes @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 02:57 PM) I believe it was unearned. That is how they scored it, but the question was if they got another hit after the error, would have been earned.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 02:56 PM) It is a tough call, it would probably be earned, because you can't assume a double play, but it would be the scorekeepers discression based on how the inning went. Its definately unearned now. If they would have gotten a couple of more hits to where the run would have scored even without Dye's error, it would have been earned.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 02:55 PM) if he scores on a single its unearned correct? It is a tough call, it would probably be earned, because you can't assume a double play, but it would be the scorekeepers discression based on how the inning went.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 02:54 PM) Just a hunch.. but you might want to stick around a few minutes.. I have got about half an hour... Not a minute more

Jesus Dye, WTF are you doing out there???

Sox lead 5-0 after 7 full innings of play, Mark Buehrle out to pitch the 8th.

All right guys, that's plenty... Let's get back to the game. Thanks

Bench Carl, right now.

2-0 Sox, halfway home.
