June 21, 200520 yr QUOTE(Texsox @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 06:24 AM) This is the s*** that had fans upset with Jerry "the tinkerer" Manuel. Switching to a different line up everyday isn't going to work. Carl and Frank are going to platoon for now. Ozzie will have to decide a little bit by schedule and a little bit by match-ups. Either way, I suspect who ever is sitting will get a pitch hit appearance late in a game. Tinkering with s*** players was the problem.
June 21, 200520 yr With his solo home run in the bottom of the 3rd inning, Frank Thomas passed Dave Kingman for 28th all time with 443 career major league home runs. I'm pretty sure Frank tied him and that was 442.
June 21, 200520 yr Someone with more time and ambition than I should look at the stats for the team when Hurt Dh's and compare it to when Carl Dh's, and heck...do all the other scenarious maybe! I have a suspicion that Konerko bats much better with Frank in there.
