Well he is Franks chance to break this game open. Bases loaded for the Big Hurt.

You obviously never read the Lord of the Rings or you would have appreciated the movies a lot more.

It sure feels that way this year...

And the thing is, no one has been able to argue any of the points for Frank in this thread. Just a bunch of amatuer inflamatory statements. Pretty lame stuff really.

BTW that interference call on Lee was BS. He went out of his way to take out Aurillia, but he still tagged second base as he slid by. The call was garbage.

Darn it, they JUST said that on the radio... "flu like symptoms"

If you need to get rid of all star tickets.... j-k

Cotts knows how to pitch. He moves the ball in and out, up and down. He keeps hitters off balance and is good at coming up with a big pitch in a great location to get the strikeout. A negative of all the strikeouts is he goes deep into counts with most hitters, giving him a higher pitch count than most pitchers. His longest outing this year has been 6 2/3. Most of his outings have been in teh 5 or 6 inning range. When he finds a way to go deeper into games without losing the edge he has (even if that means a few less strikeouts), he could be quite dangerous down the road. He needs to learn the Kip Wells and Jon Garland thing, it sounds like. TRUST YOUR STUFF!

That pitch was further outside than the one Bonds got away with, I don't blame him for being pissed off. That sucked.

Nice signature, what are you like two years old? Like I said before when you can't beat em, smother em with 4 letter words. Way to prove that you can hold an intelligent conversation.

Funny...I love double standards. You and I both have booed Sammy Sosa all throughout his career. Who cares how he played, he is getting booes from myself and sox fans. Yet it is not ok to boo jsg if you are a dev's fan, after a long fought bitter series? :fyou hypocrits If it was Sosa I would boo because I can't stand the guy. But if we played a WS against a nonrival (such as anaheim and NJ are) I would applaud the guy who got the MVP. He deserved it.

Playing sweet home chicago after white sox victories...oh be a little more predictable. Wow, since moving here I have always thought Eastcoasters were full of themselves...now I can see midwesterners have that natural scorn towards the East. Oh, how frustrating it is to be stuck in the middle. A chicago boy, stuck in NJ...shed a tear for me. No, now here is something for all you haters hatin' on Jersey. JOISEY WOCKS! TALK TO ME WHEN YOU WIN 3 STANLEY CUPS IN 9 YEARS! :finger hata's As a blackhawks fan, I will probably never be able to talk to you again.

And I will say this in defense of KW, his little moves are the ones that seem to pay off huge. Picking up little deals like Olivo, Jimenez, Marte, Loiaza, Gordon, etc are the backbone of our team.

I think I just got called old? At least it looks like I got put in the smart peoples category though

NEVER look at what offensive numbers a hitter puts up in Colorado. They are a joke. That is like me comparing my softball #'s to major leaguers.

Yeah sorry man, green is sarcasm. Didn't even think that you didn't know that.

Grace is washed up. He is done after this year, if the DBacks don't release him before hand.

Magglio is the man. He goes about his business like a true professional.

lol. Wow, now you are going to read Pauly's mind? I guess he put some Machevavellian plot together to over throw the evil Thomas empire and his weapons of clubhouse destruction. But according to you all Frank has to do is look at his numbers and say "I have earned the right to do whatever I want to, the UN will surely have to back me." To use stats to justify how one handles himself in the clubhouse is wrong. How you hit has nothing to do with anything else, other than how you preform between the lines. That is it.

All i care about is whether i like the movies. f*** those idiots. Movies are supposed to be enjoyed, not analyzed. So is baseball

I gotcha, the ends justifies the means. You realize then every person who uses Frank's field numbers to justify his clubhouse behavior, loses all rights to every criticize anything that Sammy Sosa ever does. Because basically it is the exact same arguement. Sammy has earned the right to be an asshole way more than Frank ever has because he has bigger offensive numbers.

A-f***ING-MEN. You guys have already forgotten about Frank's first day of spring training tirade where he ripped apart Manuel, Williams, and Konerko? Konerko he ripped over something that he thought had been settled in July of the previous year! It was only 3 1/2 months ago. Well I guess you are half right Frank didn't call him out because he wasn't playing well, he called him out because of something that was almost a year old, and was supposedly already forgiven.

That might be the lamest arguement yet. You have the right to suck if you preform well for some amount of time? My God do you see how that sounds? Frank has the right to do whatever he wants even if it hurts the team, as he did all last year, up until September, but since Konerko only has 3 good years in he doesn't. By that logic we should have brought back Harold Baines over Maggs, Jose Canseco over Carlos Lee etc., all because they have a "track record".

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/prof...le?statsId=5066 Here you go, he is hitting worse than both Borchard and Harris this year, and worse than what Rowand was doing at AAA.

So Konerko is a hypocrate because Jerry Manuel benched him? What are you talking about? What is the connection between Manuel benching Thomas, and Konerko?
