Soxplosion

The board looks weird. I dont know how to describe it. I can post ok but its weird looking, format, not color. Usually when a new post comes in a thread that youve posted in there wil be an envelop next to it with a dot in it. Now, it actually says NEW_DOT. Where you go to post new threads like this one, it says NEW_POST and NEW_POLL. And there are huge margins on the side of all soxtalk pages. Four inches maybe. Does anyone else have this?

No joke. MLB gamecast says Franks hitting second as well. Even tho I dont like Manuel and I would never make this lineup, I can understand his logic. Franks walks a lot so he sounds like the ideal second hitter. But he has no speed. Bunting ability, speed, and ability to get on base is what a two hitter needs. Frank only has one. Not the best choice but I sorta understand why he did it...

That's a terrible trade from your team's perspective Tino Martinez has nine rbis. JT Snow has 22. And those relievers, well two of the three are on my bench. Hasegawas in the lineup but if he takes him, Ill quickly replace him with Donnelly. If he takes Donnelly or Julio, Ill replace him with an available player. In the league Im in, guys like Snow have gotten kinda scarce but there are plenty of relievers. Trust me, I know exactly what Im doing...

Yeah, Mrs Librarian Lady, that is kinda sad...

I think giving him the electro shock treatment sounds kinda fun...

Hey I left a message for you at the fantasy board. I proposed the following trade: You get: Your choice of Shigetoshi Hasegawa, Jorge Julio or Brendan Donnelly Tino Martinez I get: JT Snow Please respond quick. If we do this trade, I want it quick...

I used to support KW. I really did. But now I dont. Frank is a legend, a legend that made me a Sox fan. And due to Kenny dislike for him, I can no longer accept Williams as the GM. He tried to trade Frank and that is completely unacceptable. He must go before he has enough of a reason to make a firesale and trade Frank. No exception.

Ya know, wsf pointed something out to me the other day. The 1983 Sox started 38-35 and won 99 games. Make your own conclusions... My conclusion is the '83 Sox were really good. I remember watching them at old Comiskey. This team could do that. They just need to have some motivation, which JM fails to give, which is why he needs to be fired...

LOL

Ooh, thats a good point, altho Val has played well enough to tell others to shape up. I prefer that he dont, but it is acceptable if he does. But Koch shouldnt be talking. Loaiza has talked recently and hes played well enough to do so. And Frank is a legend so he has the right to talk about how others need to shape up...

Koch kinda does mess it up but still. Hes the closer and the most important guy in the pen, without him you cant give the pen much credit. And White has been below average, over 4.00 for a bullpen guy is not good. I think hell pull together if given the chance, but a of now, hes not getting any credit from me. Gordon surprised pretty much everyone here and got his ERA down to 3.94 so congrats. Hes been quite dependable. Marte, Glover and Wunsch have all been great. Has Wunsch even allowed a run yet?

Thanks cw... And I will criticize players when they need to be criticized, but never will I root for us to lose just to see a manager go, no matter how much I dislike that manager. I will always root for the team to win first. And then bad managers to go, that will always be second. When hes as bad as Jm is, I may be preoccupied with his firing but I will never stop rooting for the black and white. BTW, my brother is watching Nickelodeon in the room Im in and I just notied something. The light black guy (I dont really watch this stuff so I have no clue what his name is) on that u-pick thing, that dude looks like Miguel Olivo. I just noticed that...

There ya go thinking again.... Well why did KW trade Ray then? But again, the point of my post is, KW must go before he can trade Frank. You do understand that part, dont you? Only Kenny knows the real reasons.. And I don't really understand a lot of what you say, so no biggie. But do you understand why Ive turned against KW? Because he needs to go before he can trade Frank. Thats simple enough to understand. All those reasons I gave earlier (his acquisitions, his race, etc), this new revelation overruns all of those. I dont care what hes done, trying to trade a legend is unacceptable... This "revelation" you speak of is over a year old... Yes it is but I was stubborn and failed to realize it. Now that I do, KW must go. I really dont care about the dictatorship, JMs an idiot, I just want him gone before he can trade Frank, thats all...

As much as I dislike our management, KW for trying to trade Frank, Manuel for just being an idiot, and JR/Einhorn for being so darn stingy, I will never root against the Sox. Ever. Day in and day out, I will root for them with all my heart. Rooting against the team just makes you a coward and a bandwagoner. So as much as Id like to see everyone in our management get the boot, Ill always root for the Sox. No exceptions. I will of course, give criticism where criticism is due but I will never stray from rooting my heart out for these guys. Love the Black and White, always!

Complete management reforms. The team is fine. But Kenny and JM gotta go...

I thought one of our informants told everyone about how Ray blabbed about the horrors of KWs dictatorship. Then KW found out and traded him. Thats what I thought had happened. But either way, thats irrelevant. KW must go because he is a threat to our team, and he must be gone before he is given the chance to trade Frank. Period.

Im not rooting for us to lose. I just want everyone in Sox management to be ousted. You can look in the thread "I wish they would announce it" to see why Ive turned on Kenny Williams. I will never root for us to lose tho, no matter how much I hate JM and the rest of management.

I knew Kenny traded Ray because he talked against him. I knew he got rid of others for the same reason. I didnt appreciate it , but I put up with it. For some reason tho, I failed to realize his hatred of Frank, I should have known but I was stubborn and I failed to realize it. Now that you pulled the wool off my eyes, I can no longer accept Kenny Williams. Ill wish him luck once he leaves but he cant be allowed to stay long enough to trade Frank. He must be fired before he has reason to commit firesale and trade a legend. Its just the way things have turned out...

I would still support him and I would keep him but dont worry. Thats not going to happen...

If I wrote that essay Id hope my teacher was a Cubs fan too. Then Id get to rub his greatness, on and off the field, right in his face! During my freshman year (Im now a sophomore) I wrote an essay about the Redskins (who started the season 0-5) and my teacher was a Redskins fan. In it all I talked about was how Schottenheimer needed to be fired and how much the team sucked. I actually got a pretty good grade because the whole process of writing an essay for this guy takes several weeks and by the time it was all said and done, the Redskins were back near .500. But I made one factual error, something minor and he busted me for it...

Ugh, KW can trade and mess with anyone one he wants, but he better not even dare mess with Frank. Like I said, no matter how good KW is hell never be as important as Frank. He just lost a lot of standing in my eyes. If he ever gets Frank off this team, Im starting to hope he wont last that long, itll be over. Ugh, Im really starting to not like Kenny at all. You can mess with anyone you want, but you better not even think about messing with Frank. If Frank ever leaves this team, the GM, no matter how well he may have done, Im gonna rip him a new one. Kenny can leave now, with the revelation that he hates Frank even his biggest supporter no longer welcomes him. I think he did fine with trades and everything but shopping Frank just turned me away. As much as I now dislike Kenny however, I still dislike Manuel and how he gets fired as well. As of now, I completely hate everyone in the White Sox management, Reinsdorf, Einhorn, Manuel and Williams. I will support the team with all my heart, but the management has worn out its welcome... :fyou White Sox management!
