July 10, 200322 yr Relax, its just an all star game. Scioscia is the best manager in baseball. He also wasn't a homer who just picked his own players. See how he took McDougal over Percival. Also lets look at Giambi's numbers. .268 AVG, 23 HR, 65 RBI, and a .419 OBP. He has a .951 OPS The key is the 48 RBI's Frank has compared with Giambi's 65. Frank's OPS is .986. And I'm guessing Frank would have more than 48 RBI if he had Soriano and Jeter hitting 1-2 in front of him, rather than Jimenez and (mostly) Valentin. Add in the facts that Frank is the greatest player in franchise history, and finished second in the FAN voting. Well, this just stinks.

Add in the facts that Frank is the greatest player in franchise history, and finished second in the FAN voting. Well, this just stinks. Frank's RBI's couldn't have anything to do with the fact that he is hitting .259 with RISP? And that has come up about 30 points in the last month when he got hot. I would bet if he were hitting his season average with RISP he would be on the All-Star team.
July 10, 200322 yr i may not be a chi sox fan but THATS THE BIGGEST LOAD OF BS IVE EVER SCENE :fyou Scioscia

Jeter missed a month so he didn't help Giambi's RBI numbers that much...
July 10, 200322 yr Carl Everett is the only guy I see on the All-Star team that Frank should clearly have made it instead of.
July 10, 200322 yr Scioscias a piece of crap just like Torre. Frank is better than Giambi and he always has been. If you dont agree, youre a knowledgeless dick who should rot in hell...
July 10, 200322 yr WHAT! THIS IS A DISGRACE! WE ALL VOTED OUR ASSES OFF AND GOT FRANK 2ND AND KNOW MOTHERf***ING SCOSCIA PICKS GIAMBI! THIS IS TOTAL MOTHERf***ING BULLs***! AND THE MLB SUCKS FOR NOT SHOWING THE REST OF THE #'S! f*** THE MLB, f*** MIKE SCOCIA, f*** BUD SELIG, f*** JASON VARITASS, f*** JASON GIAMPEE, f*** THE RED SOX VOTERS, NOW BEAT THE LIVING s*** OUT OF THE WORTHLESS PIECE OF s***BALLS TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 10, 200322 yr Chill people....... Frank had more than enough chances to make the team. 33 players made it before him. The Sox own player Carl Everett is the one guy Frank should have beaten out. Don't blame Scioscia, don't blame MLB. Blame all the players who didn't vote for Frank. Or blame the fans who didn't vote him in over Edgar in the first place.
July 10, 200322 yr Scioscias a piece of crap just like Torre. Frank is better than Giambi and he always has been. If you dont agree, youre a knowledgeless dick who should rot in hell... LMAO!!! Frank should be in, though. I think it's a travesty that he's not. Nobody here wants to see Giambi anyway (will he get booed?)... :puke
July 10, 200322 yr Every freakin player except Loaiza should be booed. Same with the umps. They all suck. Lets give those punks a nice big Chicago welcome!
July 10, 200322 yr So oldroman, I guess you are telling me to rot in hell?? Nice and classy. Youre welcome...
July 10, 200322 yr Everetts on the AS team? I thought he got snubbed too. Well then, only him and Loz should be immune to boos...
July 10, 200322 yr Everetts on the AS team? I thought he got snubbed too. Well then, only him and Loz should be immune to boos... Everett is the only guy that Frank truly deserved to beat out. You should boo him!
July 10, 200322 yr LMAO!!! Frank should be in, though. I think it's a travesty that he's not. Nobody here wants to see Giambi anyway (will he get booed?)... :puke Will he get booed? What the hell kind of question is that? The question is....how MUCH will he get booed? Not will he get booed. Get it right next time!
July 10, 200322 yr If Frank Thomas would have had a clear cut Frank Thomas of old type of year, he'd be there. Frank is a shell of the player he once was. He got hot for about 3 weeks this season. The rest of the time he has sucked as bad as the rest of our lineup.

The rest of the time he has sucked as bad as the rest of our lineup. Agreed Frank is nowhere near the player he once was. Now he's a good role player and when hot he can carry an offense, but nothing compared to the greatest hitter in MLB history (Young Frank). This may change if Pujols keeps hitting the crap out of the ball.
July 10, 200322 yr Scioscias a piece of crap just like Torre. Frank is better than Giambi and he always has been. If you dont agree, youre a knowledgeless dick who should rot in hell... People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones...

July 10, 200322 yr Everett is the only guy that Frank truly deserved to beat out. You should boo him! Rex... forgive me... but shut the hell up about Carl. His peers voted him in. Let it go. As for Frank.. and the fan vote.. I'll ask AGAIN.. how many of you s***heads were voting BEFORE Frank was named as a fan vote..??
July 10, 200322 yr Rex... forgive me... but shut the hell up about Carl. His peers voted him in. Let it go. As for Frank.. and the fan vote.. I'll ask AGAIN.. how many of you s***heads were voting BEFORE Frank was named as a fan vote..?? You're forgiven, Steff........ but the numbers back my argument. Everett should not have been chosen for the game over Frank. The players did vote him in and it makes me wonder why Frank can't even get 58 votes from the players? That is all he needed to beat Carl. What does it say about Frank that his peers didn't vote him in?
July 10, 200322 yr My only take on this is that Giambi's and Frank's numbers are so similar you could argue for either of them. I thought Thomas maybe would get it because of the homefield, but to no avail.
July 10, 200322 yr I don't really care if Giambi's numbers are a little better. Frank does deserve to be there, he finished second in the 32nd man vote, and he is a hometown player. I think Scoscia should have enough respect for that to put him on the team. This is besides the fact that I hate the Yankees with a passion. Everett also deserves to be there. If you want to talk about someone who shouldn't really be there much less be starting that man is Hideki Matsui. The only reason he is starting is because of Japanese voters which I think is ridiculous.

The only reason he is starting is because of Japanese voters which I think is ridiculous. Matsui has pretty good numbers And the fact that giambi's numbers are better, according to you, does make a huge difference the 32nd man thing is good leverage for frank, but that's only fans voting and if you don't get in on that, you could say those results don't matter if you don't win
