May 22, 200619 yr Author QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 22, 2006 -> 01:44 PM) Oh God, I've been mentioned. Does this mean I'm big time? No, no it doesn't. QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 22, 2006 -> 01:23 PM) I'm not going to get myself worked up about that topic, so I'm going to skip out on this week's episode. Unacceptable...haha. I do call Frank a hall of famer and the greatest White Sox player of all time. I just will never forget the fact that he said he would never have thrown out the first pitch had he known the Sox weren't going to bring him back. Thats utterly classless in my mind and it was the classless event in a long line of classless events that put things over the top for me. It sucks cause for a long time Frank was my favorite ball player ever. When I was a wee lad me and my friends would always debate who was better and no matter how wrong I was, I'd always say Thomas was better than Griffey (cause the Big Hurt was the man in my book; of course I always though Hawk and Whimpy called him the Big Hertz - thats cause I thought he killed the baseball, not just hurt it). QUOTE(Steff @ May 22, 2006 -> 01:25 PM) Though it is more fuel for the "jason is crazy" movement. Some people's crazy is another persons "genius". People also thought I was crazy when I said the Tigers were the team to watch out for in the division QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 22, 2006 -> 01:33 PM) Good job guys. And Gage, I guess great minds think alike when it comes to Thomas.

Just as you are to west coast sports, Boz is to Buehrle, I'll always be that way with Frank. If that's a flaw, so be it. I've been on this rant all season here, but Cheat and Sox Machine coined it perfectly, 'so what?' I'll never deny that Frank wasn't exactly a god with words; he was probably too honest at times. He never seems to take the poltically correct route but ends up being blunt/honest. That's definitely hurt his stature and opinion with fans. Frank's the greatest player the franchise has ever seen, and I feel he's a huge reason the Sox have been a consistent contender year in and year out, the past decade and a half. Without Frank, there wouldn't have been much reason to build on anything. Frank was just upset that he was not brought back to the only franchise he knew. I'm not suggesting he should be here, but I can't be mad at that. I just feel that the Sox' greatest hitter, a future HOFer deserves a standing ovation from the one franchise that he earned all those accolades from.
May 22, 200619 yr Frank Thomas has been and always will be my favorite baseball player. I will not listen to this episode.

I am sure If I were at the game I'd do the same (despite saying I wouldn't, but peer pressure is a b****). I did give Frank a pretty good cheer when I was in Anaheim and the A's played the Angels. And I hope he doesn't get booed...that I know. It would be a sad day in Chicago if that were to happen. And I'm glad a lot of fans will get teary eyed and really give him a great ovation (even though I'd have given just a few claps at the most). I know whenever I see Rowand play next and I'm at the stadium (same goes for Carl and all the guys that were a part of the 05 team, I'll make sure to give them a damn good ovation). Oh and next weeks show will be about the minor leagues a bit more so than the prior shows (special guest host to join us...maybe even two special guest hosts).

Jason, two words about graduation: grad school. delay the anguish as long as you can I know...I am sure within 2 or 3 years Ill be back in school going for the whole MBA thing. But for now I'm happy to convince myself these will be the last finals I take for a while (until that whole stupid CPA Exam).
May 23, 200619 yr I'm with you...the second Frank said the s*** about how he wouldn't have thrown out the first pitch of the ALDS...I lost all respect for him. It's ok to be pissed off at KW or the organization.....but whining like a b**** about something that pumped up the fans and your teammates is pathetic.
