tonyho7476 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Just bought 2 tickets...I'll be applauding. Frank was the man, and he deserves to be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord chas Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I will be there and I will cheer Frank because he deserves it. I really doubt he will booed if at all. Winning the championship sugarcoats the whole war of words between him and Kenny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Personally speaking...instead of cheering for Frank, I'd just cheer for every Sox player that actually helped us get to the World Series. I wouldn't boo Frank, but I wouldn't give him an ovation either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't boo Frank, but I wouldn't give him an ovation either. That I disagree with, he won us several key games that we ended up really needing with that home run binge he was on for about a month or so. I just wouldn't boo or cheer him since you can't boo the best player in team history, but I can't cheer him either because of the way he went out.

White Sox Fan For Life Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ May 21, 2006 -> 03:02 PM) sox fans, please give him the standing ovation he deserves tomorrow I am going to the Game tonight! I will definitely give him a standing Ovation! Especially after everything he has done for the White Sox organization! Frank Thomas was my favorite player while growing up watching the White Sox!

I am sure that you would give Frank a standing Ovation! Especially reading all your other replies on this thread and how loyal you are to Frank! I wish that you would be going to the game and taking the place of a fan who is not willing to give Frank the ovation he deserves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't say isn't a Sox fan, because I don't think you can really judge how much of a fan someone else is, but I'll be embarassed for them. Also, for those of you who are going, if you see anyone booing, "discourage" them from doing so (maybe this shouldn't be in green, I don't know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Macha could piss a lot of people off and keep Frank's butt on the bench tonight, but I think he matches up well with Garland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wouldn't boo or cheer him since you can't boo the best player in team history, but I can't cheer him either because of the way he went out. We went 24-12 in the games he played in 2005, and we increased our lead from 3.5 to 12 games in that time. That increased division lead obviously gave the Sox plenty cushion to hold off a small spiral and an insane surge of Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Look at the White Sox pre-Frank Thomas and look at them during Frank Thomas. I believe he played as big a role as any in getting this organization moving in the direction it did. He was one of the best players in the game for about 10 years and deserves a nice hand. His ideas and thoughts are none of my business I paid to enjoy his ability to play baseball. I did not pay to hear his thoughts on anything. Look at the White Sox with Frank Thoams on that team. How often did they finish below second place. I also believe they had the 4th best record in baseball while he was on the White Sox. Standig 'O' Also Thome was offered a big contract and turned it down for Philly who offered a bigger contract, Thomas was released. FWIW.

It was way less money, and less years because they had no intention of resigning him. The situation mirrored the Sox with Robin Ventura very well.

TheBigHurt Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 (edited) I'm surprised Doug Eddings didn't get a better ovation than Frank initially Frank's homecoming was just a piece of a very unusual game... Doug Edding returns...with a crazy strike zone, Ozzie is thrown out in the second inning, the park becomes a zoo with squirrels and gulls, Pablo wins the game with a "walk off bunt," Frank returns and hits 2 HR, only he's on the opposing team, and oh yeah, we win the opener against OAKLAND. Wow, what a f***ing wierd game... Edited May 23, 2006 by TheBigHurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
