Where can I buy one? Just kidding. What a stupid idea. The screw up the game last year by mistake. Last year was a slow steady series for dumb decisions. Now, in one year, they activly commit a few errors. Amazing. Don't forget to vote for every NL stiff. We want that home field advantage.

But which color did Van Halen want removed from their backstage food spread?
-
I believe you are 100% correct and in this age of ass kissing PR driven players (think hopping and blowing kisses) he may come off as whinning or selfish. When in fact he is the opposite.
-
Good point. I wonder what his career numbers would have been if he played in the NL. I'm thinking his HOF position would be much better. It would be a crime if at the end of his career he isn't voted in, an even bigger misjustice than a certain Chicago 3rd baseman from the north side.
-
Would you agree, using only his on camera quotes, that Frank could have used some PR lessons through the years? MLB has rarely promoted him as a league superstar while others with lesser skills and stats have been. He has made some publicity blunders, and at times has left an impression to some as a whiner. In his defense many times it was him offering his honest appraisal of the situation.

I love the "W" for White Sox ones the best Unfortunately only about half of a bag are "W"s the rest are "M"s
-
For all he's done over the years for this team if Frank wants to play shortstop I'd let him. Fortunately he's smart enough not to. My favorite scene this season was Frank sprawled out at first from reaching (successfully) for a throw from 3rd. That was the biggest smile I've seen on his face in years. I wonder what kind of career numbers Frank would of had if he played his career in the NL?

Frank is one of the only players in baseball that when he comes to the plate I'll drop everything and watch. I am a huge fan of his when he steps into the batter's box. Outside the box his "game" drops off terribly. It saddens me when Shammy can be "the most popular man in baseball" and Frank doesn't come close. The fact that there are so many passionate anti-Frank fans out there means something. There are so many lesser players with better PR.

So can we agree now that we won the Colon trade?
Texsox replied to sox-r-us's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I thought it was a winner from day 1. For all the b****ing I've done about the man, I have to agree on this one, he did a great job manuevering it around. Thank you Mr. Steinbrenner. And KW did ok too. -
90 degrees, sun is up, birds are singing, and the Sox scored 10 runs last night in a win. ahhhh the world is good
-
The Edinburg Roadrunners just had their Boy Scout night Saturday with giant fireworks show and a win! Some great baseball. My favorite was a hit and run with the batter going opposite field to the hole when the 2nd baseman moved to cover 2nd. I love sound fundemental baseball. Worked just like a movie.
-
Two in a row last week with Frank. New week so I have to keep riding him. Go Big Hurt
-
barely got past 2000 I lightened my mouse to make it more manueverable but that didn't help so I used an emory board on the mouse ball and I think I can do better.
-
It depends on how tgis team should be remade. If pitching is going to be the key, I'd figure out how to keep MB, BC, and E-Lo. It would be very nice to build a steady rotation. Come to think of a late season - contending team - trade I'm wondering if this is how Frank eventually rides off into the sunset. Perhaps to a team that needs a bat. Frank gets to maybe play in WS and JR unloads a contract.

The media is the message Marketing can make anything so. Forget fact! Suspend all belief! Go buy a $200 throw back jersey, sit back and enjoy. Instant gratification, instant history, instant superstars, instant rivalries, instant heros, instant messages on this board!
-
Frank is use to playing well on some poor teams. He doesn't need people around him to be hitting to get on a tear. I loved seeing him sprawled at first base after snagging a throw from I believe it was Crede and a big smile on his face. Plus defensively it isn't like he's replacing a Golden Glove 1st baseman. Go Frank
-
I was at a game last night down here in Texas and everyone was surprised how disgusted I was with home town hero Shammy They don't get the Sox-Cub rivalry. I was shocked how popular he is. All that hopping and blowing kisses, I'm going to throw up now. The manager of the Edinburg Roadrunners in the CPBL stated he had no idea how to cork a bat, where one would go to have it done, etc. Must be one more advantage of being in the bigs.
-
Bobby V. just dropped from my unofficial candidates list to replace JM. Whatta idiot. You only say that when your his manager. Shammy's new product endorsement Changing Colors Cheatos with a magic surprise.
-
Another promotion opportunity for Shammy. Hi, I'm Shammy Sosa for Oscar Meyer Remember, if you gotta cork you in trouble, but if you got Pork, you gotta meal!
-
Frank not only isn't going to be voted, he probably doesn't deserve it. If it comes down to E-Lo or Frank E-Lo probably is more serving but I would rather pay to see Frank. He deserves the honor in Chicago. Before the season started I would have expected to be throwing out names like Maggs, Mark, and Bart. I'll bet MB will be looking forward to a couple days away from his "friends"
-
the round tripper he just hit looked really good. 388 career
-
I just found the official snack food of Shammy Sosa CHEAT O's
-
OMG players actually read? this!? have a couple more in the hotel room while it rains.
-
Theo I forgot. I must have been drunk.

What a difference changing hitting coached made I'll bet we could change everyone in the organization except the players and two months from now we will still be 8 games out if we hire another introspective thinker like JM. or The new manager comes in and creates a little excitement and fun. This team is dead men walking. I would like to see a trade or something to get a little fire in the clubhouse.
