Steve9347 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Well, I couldn't be happier with the reception Frank got. I'm not too happy with the result of his at bat. Way to get em, Big Hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 QUOTE(tealeafreaderii @ May 22, 2006 -> 08:29 PM) did they cheer him after the home run? Yes, they did. It was all cheers from the time he came to the on-deck circle until he went back into the dugout. And it was just for him too, because they were booing hardcore on the next home run. However, I'm extremely happy that we've got a class group of fans, and Frank received the ovation he deserved. And hopefully all of this will bring some closure to everything.

Soxbadger Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Thomas never said anything bad about Sox fans, so why should the fans feel any ill will toward him. Im glad that he got the ovation and glad that he hit the home run. Loyalty is earned, and Thomas no matter what he said, always played on the field. Thomas can still be a good player, a lot of his problems have been in his head. Once he stopped getting the calls he just seemed to worry more about that then focusing on himself. Still my favorite player and probably always will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got the class welcome back to Chicago in his first AB, and that's what people will remember. I'm just glad this is somewhat over now.

KevHead0881 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Love Frank, and was glad he got the great ovation. But enough with the cheering after homers (heard a lot after that second). You don't cheer when your pitcher is getting bombed, I don't care who is hitting the homers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 And there's his 2nd home run of the night. Did anyone have Frank Thomas as their Pick to Click? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DABearSoX Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Frank's really sending a message to kenny eh??? HA well i am really glad he got the standing o shows were not classless like cleveland fans..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeBatterz Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Great News for Frank! Considering we were overmatched tonight with Garland vs. Zito, this can be the one game that he does well during the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox-r-us Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Frank Focking Thomas The White Sox are simply making it easier for him to get into the HOF by helping him get to his 500th HR It would be nice if he hit that 500th HR at the Cell too Best.White.Sox.Player.Ever.Period.

Kalapse Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 QUOTE(Steve9347 @ May 22, 2006 -> 07:31 PM) um, no. He got a standing ovation after the HR, you obviously were not watching. I honestly do not care that he went deep twice tonight, I didn't expect to win this game so watching him hit 2 HRs was enjoyable for me.

SoxFan1 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Its funny, as Frank was batting, I said to myself "I wouldn't be mad at all if he hit a bomb right here." Not even 5 seconds later...boom. Err, poof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitoMB345 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 What did Hawk say when Thomas hit the homer? I was joking that he probably would break out the classic homerun call, and then realize what was going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
