May 21, 200421 yr He's defenitely earned some props the last couple of days. If Hurt stays hot this team really can go some places.
May 21, 200421 yr As he is getting older, Thomas would be wise to follow Alou's example and shorten the swing's path. Thankfully he is strong enough to upper-body/torque the ball.
May 21, 200421 yr He's defenitely earned some props the last couple of days. If Hurt stays hot this team really can go some places. No doubt about it. He is hot right now and if anyone tries to touch him he'll explode.
May 21, 200421 yr Frank has been hitting well all year though. Granted his batting average isn't great, but he leads the AL in walks, 2nd in OB%, t-14th in Slugging, and 4th in OPS. Those numbers are freaking studly. His batting average is less important than these numbers anyway. He is hot now, but he has been doing well all season. He keeps this up and Ozzie might be right about the MVP year.
May 21, 200421 yr Frank keeps hurting the ball. Wow, if he stays this hot, just wow. He is an amazing player when he is hot.
May 21, 200421 yr Best thing about it was the Twins announcers basically called it. Blyleven said "Greisinger has to be careful with Frank here 2-0" and the very next thing that happened was Thomas went deep. It was beautiful.
May 21, 200421 yr Frank is a pretty good hitter. Shoots a rocket off the f***ing baggy. Now scores on a Carlos double. SWEET! Frank a triple shy of a cycle. What I wouldn't give..... NANANANA Hey Hey HEy goodbye!
May 21, 200421 yr if frank is on his game like he was back in the day, that will make things a lot easier.
May 21, 200421 yr Thomas, the reason I became a Sox fan, is really showing exactly how he got my interest in this team with the way he's playing right now. To Frank!
May 21, 200421 yr if frank is on his game like he was back in the day, that will make things a lot easier. Frank can carry the team like no one I ever saw
May 21, 200421 yr I was really rooting for the triple in his last two AB's -- I would have pissed myself like a little schoolgirl if he was able to hit for the cycle.
May 21, 200421 yr As he is getting older, Thomas would be wise to follow Alou's example and shorten the swing's path. Thankfully he is strong enough to upper-body/torque the ball. I hope that is the only thing he does like alou, we do not need him pissing on his hands also.

May 21, 200421 yr Frank can carry the team like no one I ever saw 2000 seems like yesterday, but at the same time, seems like it was 4 years ago(maybe because it was?) I wouldn't mind seeing 2000 again. This team seems to be getting hot, and if they can play .700 baseball for a good stretch of time, it could be over before you know it(ala 2000).
May 21, 200421 yr Frank is rare in that he can carry a team almost singlehandedly when he's hot. I just hope he can keep this up.
May 21, 200421 yr Hell If Konerko could hit an inside the park homerun at one time, I see no problem in Frank hitting a triple..
May 21, 200421 yr Frank picked the right time to get hot. absolutely -- dare we think MVP is a possibity?
May 21, 200421 yr absolutely -- dare we think MVP is a possibity? No doubt. He has been consistent with his batters eye. Now he's putting the swing together. Hopefully he can hit well without a mini slump for a month or more.
May 21, 200421 yr He's defenitely earned some props the last couple of days. If Hurt stays hot this team really can go some places. Don't go soft NUKE.. I think he's hitting to prove you wrong.
May 21, 200421 yr He came into the game with a .977 OPS. By the time the game was over, he had a 1.033 OPS.
