Who is going to what games? The wife and I will be there on Friday and Sunday.

That would be priceless to have the whole OF wall covered in those pics on Friday.

My new wallpaper!

"stewardess, I speak Jive"

Geez you are almost to 200 posts for the day!

The problem was these guys hated his guts, and were sick of fixing the problems he started. The guy started like 3 brawls that year.

First of all Weaver was drafted by the Sox, and refused to sign with us. Second of all he started all that s*** with the bench clearing brawl in 2000. Third of all he is such a bad teammate that once after plunking someone else he went into his clubhouse and b****ed that no one would stand up for him anymore, insulting his teammates to the point where one of his outfielders was going to beat his ass, and it took a coach to stop him. His teammates didn't care.

:fyou Jeff Weaver. The guy is a first class asshole.

Fair enough, and I agree -- IMO, there is very little a person can do that is worse than being a hypocrite. Rapist, murderer, thief, arsonist, armed robber, pedophile, kidnapper, extortionist, nose picker...etc, etc... don't forget Troll!

Right now Frank would almost be an ideal #2 hitter. He sees a ton of pitches, gets on base, and gives guys an opportunity to see more pitches. The thing is I like the line up with Harris and Jimenez at the top better. Frank is finally starting to drive in some runs with RISP at #3.

Bingo....it's even more surprising that he's able to put up these numbers with a terrible offense and bullpen...if he's on the Jays he's won every start (not taking anything away from Halladay at all....however look at Lidle, who has about 10 wins with mediocre era and whip numbers) Give the Sox 2 runs in that 1-0 L, and Loz is 12-1!

And Clu, this is EXACTLY what I am talking about. First we aren't to judge Mark on what he has done before, but now, but when it comes to Frank, it doesn't matter because of what he did up until 97 and in 2k. Don't get me wrong. Frank and Joe Jackson are the best two hitters this franchise has ever seen. The years Thomas put up in the 90's were incredible. I appreicate what he has done for this team. If he puts up a few more decent years he should be a first ballot hall of famer, if he retired today, he would be at least a 2nd or 3rd ballot HOFer. There is no one else on this team you could say anything like that about right now. I just get annoyed with hypocracy.

And don't forget who is on Mike Scocia's staff this year...

It isn't even that I don't like Frank, I just get annoyed with the double standards that get applied to certian players.

There are 10 guys with more HR's, 40 with more RBI's, and 44 guys with a higher batting average. And that is just in the AL. Nuff said.

How about KY Jelly? Now they can lube us up before they f*** us.

So why still the Frank Thomas worship?

He signed a contract. If he wants to be in the NBA it is his decesion, and he is compenasated for it.

That joke is soooo over played.

Cough, cough.. ace... E-Lo.. cough, cough.... E-Lo....career high is 11 wins...cough..cough...never been an all-star...cough...cough.... It is the 2003 All Star game. Not the career all star game.

Both Frank and Carlos had 4 points. The tie breakers go to Lee as Carlos only had two outs, while Frank had a K to go with his two outs. The pickers were Sox4lifePA (2nd in a row????), Juggernaut, and cwsox.

They usually post them within an hour of the game. I have to imagine with Mays starting that we will see the usual host of lefties including Willie, Daubach, Jimenez, and Val.

Little edit there... " that should be dispite how well he was pitching

I don't mean his #'s have deteriorate, I mean his skills have deteriorated. He is a shadow of his former self. And the sad thing is he is still better than Mark Grace

There is no doubt about it. Frank Thomas and Royce Clayton played like s*** for long stretches of the season last year and only got benched for a game or two at a time at most. Keith Foulke has a bad stretch and never gets a chance to win back the closers role dispite how bad he was pitching, and then is traded right away in the off season. He pissed someone off.
