  1. I hate the media. They need to leave Frank alone. or if they do ask him questions, ask him some intelligent thinking questions. Like "what can you do to improve your .226 BA?" Id like to here Frank talk about that. Or something about KW. I bet he would have valuable insight into one of those kinds of things...
  2. Where? Did Frank tell all the KW horror stories?
  3. Hey, I think it was fine factually. Tells em who Thomas really is. And I thought that was fine. But in an English paper, ya better make sure the grammars all good too...
  4. Aah, I wouldnt expect any less from that idiot JM. Go ahead Jerry, turn us around 360, Im sure theres no way well be able to fire you...
  5. Grammatically or factually? Cuz the "one two MVPs" thing is still there...
  6. I heard about yesterdays loss and it hardly mattered to me at all. Until JM is gone, Im not sure any loss will matter to me...
  7. Hey! Can I join the Fire Jerry Manuel Club?
  8. Oh I believe ya but I dont think my moms ever said that...
  9. WSF..... Roman used to change positions on White Sox players like the wind changed directions. Everyone ripped him apart because of it. He then announced to everyone afterwards that KW was his guy and that he would never change his position on our GM. I believe he's doing this to prove a point..... there can be no other reason for him defending this asswipe that has decimated the White Sox team in less than 3 years. And if he can't see it, there's no use in trying to show him. He'll never agree with you because he has a point to make. Ooh, youre smart. But thats not the only reason Im doing this. 1. I like Kenny because he got us Colon, Jiminez and Koch. 2. I do have a point to prove. 3. I am kinda like JR, very pro minority. 4. The KW dictatorship doesnt bother me, it didnt hurt the team. But JMs idiocy has hurt the team and it bugs the crap outta me. There is one player on this team who I will support no matter where he is, altho I will support him even more if hes here. Thats Frank Thomas. I will never turn against him. He has my allegiance no matter where he is. But every other player on this team only has my allegiance because they were the black and white. As soon as they leave, Ill wish em luck but if they fail completely it wont matter to me. Ive got Kennys back but once he leaves the organization, I might be a little mad but after a while it probably wont bother me anymore. Mostly because fans dont get sentimental over GMs the way the do over players. No matter how good KW is at his job, hell never be as important as Thomas...
  10. First, check the grammar in this sentence. Theres just one thing that might be a problem. But other than that, I love it! Awesome job, Frank is the freakin man...
  11. I like Jiminez and I think hes a good hitter but his crappy fielding and lack of effort are unacceptable. He needs to hustle his butt off, no exceptions. Dropping a popup and costing the team three runs is just pathetic...
  12. The Oakland A's last year had little speed...and they could have easily made it to the World Series. They had one real lefty power hitter in the entire lineup(as do we....Jose anyone?). Who says Colon won't have a solid year? I don't expect him to go 20-8 with a 2.93 ERA....18-12 with a 3.75 ERA would be great by my standards....that's all we'll need to get to the postseason. Garland is better than you think....he has just been the exact opposite of Loaiza. His ERA in April last year was 8.00...or around there. He then had an ERA under 4.00 for every month after that with the exception of July. If I can get an ERA under 4.00 for every month but two from my #3 pitcher....I'm gonna be happy. Wright won 9 games in the second half last year. Stewart is in the minor leagues...and if we get 13-13 4.50 out of Loaiza....I'll be happy as a clam. Our bullpen is one of the strongest in the league and we have probably the best depth out of any team in that category...that statement was stupid....sorry, but it's the truth. The White Sox, with Jm as manager and KW as the GM, did not use small ball. The White Sox, with JM as manager and Ron Schueler as GM, did use small ball. Whether or not it has to do with the hitting coach(Joshua under Schu, Ward under KW) is a different matter. We will see. The A's of last year are comparable to this year's White Sox. Then again...the A's had and still do have a GM with a clue. We haven't. He doesn't realize the joy of being able to play golf on a beautiful sunny day in the middle of summer. Instead....he wants to manage the team through JM. He'll be playing a little more golf now that he is not the GM. Look up the bullpens ERA. It aint gonna be pretty...
  13. He is of small mind because??????????????????????? I saw nothing in his post that wasnt true. Im small of mind because I think differently. Thats all... Meaning you are honest? lol Well in this case honest is different so yes, I am small minded...
  14. He is of small mind because??????????????????????? I saw nothing in his post that wasnt true. Im small of mind because I think differently. Thats all...
  15. The team is poor but Jerry Manuel just makes it worse. If we want to win, Manuel is the first thing we are going to have to change. I think without Manuel, we could win about 85 games. With him, 75. And what is so bad about my sig? It is the motto and the hymn of the greatest fighting force of the greatest nation on Earth. And I refuse to remove it. Period.
  16. Our offense is overrated. It has no speed (or atleast, a manager who fails to use it), no left handed power and it cant hit in the clutch to save its life. Colon had a great year last year and should logically be expected to fall a little this year. Garland is not a true major leaguer. He cant handle the pressure consistently. Stewart/Wright/whoever is number five cannot be counted on. Loaiza always starts off hot. Hell do well but not that well. 13 wins, 4.50 ERA, you can book that from him. Our bullpen is weak. But most importantly, Jerry Manuel doesnt use small ball, such as bunts, steals, hit and runs etc. to his advantage. This team is not World Series caliber...
  17. Koch is injured. Once he recovers hell fare well. So Adkins wasnt the best gain but knowing that Ray didnt stay in Oakland its a draw. And Cotts and Holt are good prospects. Cotts tearing it up but Im not sure how Holts doing. And we agree on Olivo so nothing to argue there...
  18. He got us Bartolo Colon and D'angelo Jiminez! What more could we ask for? And dont tell me how hes been writing the lineups, I dont care. Hes created a good team, he just put an idiot at the wheel...
  19. What? Do you mean the October Dominican Republic League? Cuz this team is not going to the playoffs...
  20. OK, but this has no effect on the Sox since we wont be there. I just cant imagine the Sox in the Series. There are just things I cant picture in my head, and us winning, much less being, in the WS is one of those things...
  21. Well end up in the cellar with the REAL fool JM in charge, no doubt...
  22. Thats not that ironic. Billy Beane hasnt fleeced us as much as we like to think. Adkins wasnt a great gain but Ray didnt stay in Oakland either. Koch is struggling but we got Cotts and thats important. And Olivos a great pickup. He should be good in the near future. I love his arm, nobody can steal on him...
  23. JM didnt have to do anything in 2000. But now, the players need his help. And so far he hasnt adjusted to give them any help. Thats why he needs to go. And I really dont hope we lose every game for the rest of the season, I just want Manuel to go...
