We lost because we had no heart. Everett brought heart to this team but that wasnt enough. I strongly believe however that Everett needs to be brought back next year. And Thome would have just clogged up the first base/DH situation even more. All we need for next year is some hustle and winning attitude...

Whoa. Thats crazy...

Chicago- I love Chicago. I lived an hour away for six years and while my friends would beg our parents to take us to Six Flags, Id beg to go to the city. Chicago was my home, and second to Hawaii, its my favorite place on Earth. I loved Lincoln Park, Brooklyn Zoo, sitting in Comiskey watching the game with the projects peeking over the walls (yes, for some odd reason, I liked the projects), going to the top of the Sears Tower and everything. I also liked the annual airshow where wed go and swim in the lake while the Blue Angels flew overhead. New York- Ive been to New York for a day (post Sept 11, never saw the WTC) in my life and I loved it. You cant see everything in a day but we saw a lot of it. Theres Time Square (which, like someone said earlier, is one of the coolest places there is) where you have the naked cowboy (only in NY ) and excellent breakdancers. Theres the Empire State Building and Greenwich Village. And some people say New Yorkers are mean. Not at all. There were several locals we met that talked to us just about anything for no real reason other than to be nice. They were very welcoming people who were hard to not like. My consensus is the same as the others. Chicago is home, New York is the party...

Ill meet Frank someday and that will be priceless. Theres no point getting a bat that was probably signed by a computer...

Historys my favorite subject too...

NUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everett and Bart. Everetts got so much heart, hes awesome...

I got 1250 on the PSATs...

The Yankees are cheapskates...

I do disagree with that part. This season sucked...

Even tho I dont give a s*** about second, Im glad to see Frank hasnt completely given up...

Read the rest of that post...

He f***ed us when it counted...

Why the hell is that?! If Frank doesnt get a bye for his career stats, then Loaiza shouldnt get a bye for his season stats. Be fair about it for chrissakes...

Who is Bajenaru and this "Alyssa" that Bull speaks of?

Go to Hell. They failed to see that Loaiza blew it and I failed to see that Frank blew it. But now weve both admitted our players failures and its over. I still hate Loaiza tho so dont think any differently...

Fine. Im done. Loaiza and Thomas didnt get it done. But I love Frank because hes proved himself over the years and I hate Loaiza because hes a fluke. Its over. Hopefully Loaiza will be out of my sight and gone next year. Period.

Loaiza may bust his ass but he still failed us, as did Frank (Im admitting it), when it counted. Frank just gets the bye because hes been a star for us for 13 years, while Loaizas only been a star for 145 games. And it seems to me that while everyones ragging on Frank for blowing it, no one is getting on Loaiza. Guess were all some hypocritical motherf***ers...

Well then why is Loaiza getting a break when he failed us too? If Franks career numbers dont matter, shouldnt Loaizas season numbers not matter?

Loaiza throughout his CAREER has been awful. Whats your point? Give Frank a break, hes earned it man...

Wait a sec. Whos Baj and is Cotts really Neal?

Which two did you get right?

I would rather be doomed from the start, thus preparing myself to lose, than lose dramatically at the end. Thats just me. Loaiza prevented the former and made the latter happen. He got us to the end and then lost it. If it wasnt for him, wed have been doomed from the start and I woulda quickly realized this wasnt our year. But he helped us only to let us down later, and I really didnt like that...

You people amaze me as well. How can you hate someone who has done so much for you for so long (Frank) and love someone who has done so little for so short (Loaiza)?

Hes 31. Its too late for him to turn into some great Pedro Martinez ace. No matter where he is next year (hopefully its somewhere else) Im gonna make a prediction. Loaiza will go 8-11 with a 4.91 ERA. We shall see...
