August 2, 200421 yr From the Daily SouthTown Big hope? Injured DH Frank Thomas is expected in town when the Sox return home this weekend, and will have a CAT scan on the stress fracture in his left foot to see how much it has healed. If there is progress, the hope is to have Thomas back in four more weeks. Guillen still isn't counting on that, however. "Right now, I don't expect him to come back," Guillen said. "If he comes back, it would be better for us. But right now, we can't think about having Frank back. We have to deal with what we have. "When you hope to have somebody back and all of the sudden you don't have it, it's frustrating. Hopefully, when he gets to Chicago he's a lot better. If not, we have to deal with what we have here." The Sox are 11-12 since Thomas went on the disabled list. I'm hoping and praying for a BIG boost in September. Better than any trade Kenny could make on the waiver wire.
August 3, 200421 yr If we could get Frank back within 4 weeks that would be amazing, hopefully it comes true.
August 3, 200421 yr Hopefully, we will be still be around in good shape in our division. Squash that, we will.. I hope Thomas and Ordonez come back around August so we can make that final push for the playoffs.

Not only that, but after sitting out so long and then coming in right before the playoffs, these guys are going to be "HUNGRY!!!!!!!" My only concern is how sharp they will be, and since missing a lot, how will their patience at the plate be, and will they be too overagressive as well. We'll just have to wait and see.
August 3, 200421 yr yeah, but when is Maggs coming back? that's the bat we need. We need one of them back, one way or another.

They said for him to wait till next year from him to come back.
August 3, 200421 yr yeah, but when is Maggs coming back? that's the bat we need. I like how you just disregard a guy who had an 1.100 OPS going into interleague play. rolleyeyes.gif
August 3, 200421 yr We need one of them back, one way or another. Haha, we want both back. Aslong as this team stays in contention the quicker both of these guys will be back. If this team falls out to about 8 games back by the end of August, they probably won't be coming back this year.
August 3, 200421 yr AT least we know we aren't the Liars up north and 4 weeks could be a plausible situation. I give it 6 though.

We need the boost from The Big Hurt and Maggs for at least a full month of games to fuel the Sox and allow us to overcome the Twinkies. The 2 will also be fresh for the playoffs and beyond. We can still do it and w have a one game winning streak to build on now.
