You bumped something. On the top right of the bar that displays the thread title. There's the words: Outline · Standard · Linear Click on Standard.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 06:18 PM) Who exactly are these people that have 'defended what Frank has said' (besides White Sox Josh, of course)? I've said multiple times that Frank shouldn't have said what he said. Same goes for Steff. Same goes for Greasy. Same goes for witesoxfan. Same goes for J4Life. Same goes for Jackie Hayes. Yep. I've said Frank's wrong; however, he's still going to be my favorite player. Apparently that's a crime here.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 06:09 PM) What I would like to know is how people can defend anything Frank has said over the past month and then just totally say KW was wrong in everything he said. Frank let this continue by opening his mouth time and time again until there was a breaking point. When asked time and time again about Frank at Soxfest, KW had nothing but nice things to say. Now that KW basically buried him (put in an urn according to Wilbon) Frank wants to take the high road. He didn't take the high road. The high road would have been shutting his mouth upon leaving the team. This is a completely logical and sensible approach to the whole thing. I'm not sure what more you want. Both people are wrong. Frank should have never started it. KW shouldn't have responded to anything in the media. Period.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 05:28 PM) Since anyone implied that you guys thought Frank was innocent.... Look below Willie. QUOTE(aboz56 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 05:07 PM) There is no sense arguing with "Frank Nation." They are all too blinded by what he did during his MVP seasons. Wait, that was a long ass time ago.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 05:06 PM) Not true about me. I've said atleast 600 times that Frank is no angel. QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 05:08 PM) And I stand right next to you screaming it... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yet, you fools keep ignoring that.

Bummer. He let you all down. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2347023

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 03:23 PM) Non-story. If they suspend KG, that's just flat out ridiculous. I like KG a lot, and don't feel he deserves any kind of punishment. However, I'll be shocked if they don't though; the NBA will be pussies about anything related to the fans from Ron Artest until the end of time.

Should I apologize that I'm able to seperate the on the field and off the field actions of players?? Frank Thomas is my favorite baseball player and will always be. He's a big reason that I've been a White Sox fan all these years. I didn't realize that was such a crime. Yes, Frank hasn't been perfect off the field, but no one has been. Frank will always be my favorite baseball player; he did some damn good things on the field. This isn't about who my favorite human being is; I don't understand why everyone is making it to be like that.

It's something I definitely would like to do once I'm out of college and have some cash in my pocket from my first real job.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 02:37 PM) I do hate Indiana though. No surprise. You hate everything to do with the state. You hate Peyton, Reggie, and IU.

It may be just an aberration, but CBS finally updated a few pictures today, and they were able to become high-res. No Sox pics though.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 01:35 AM) Lunardi was just on college gamenight. He has SIU and IU in now, so that's nice for me and greasy. I still think we have to get to the championship to get in but who the hell knows. Our resume is really better then most bubble teams but I just get the feeling that the committee won't want to take 5-6 mvc teams, though if you're just looking at the resume, all 6 should really have a good shot. We'll see, it's going to be a fun weekend in St. Louis and if we don't come out the winner there, it's going to be a nervous week. Here's the new Bracketology supporting that. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/bracketology

Being on this end of the table, I still see Alford being a long shot. I don't understand why the media keeps playing it as a done deal. Far from it from what I've seen.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 12:38 PM) Iguchi is under contract for this year, with an option for 07. Crede is under our control until 08, but there's an obvious replacement for Crede in the minor leagues in a year or so should Joe's name hit the trade market. I might say wait a season and see how each of them wind up with their deals next offseason. If Iguchi goes into the 07 season without a contract extension, odds are he won't be back. That's why I don't know if I'll ever get a player's jersey. There's no such thing as loyalty or franchise players today.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 12:20 PM) Imagine what Crazy Carl would be saying if he was still here Nothing? Frank and Carl's situations are a little bit different. The Sox was just a carvan stop for Carl, Frank's had an entire career here.

QUOTE(SnB @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 11:36 AM) ....and that's not going to happen, we all know that. QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 12:20 PM) Sounds like that Cowley story was true. NBC 5 just played an interview with Frank and he said that it hurt to leave the team that he was with for so many years but he is now moving on. He said that he talked to Kenny this morning. Apparently it did.

QUOTE(SnB @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 11:36 AM) ....and that's not going to happen, we all know that. I could see it happening. We'll just have to wait and see.

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 11:34 AM) On this matter, I agree he should STFU also. Hopefully he does. He's in the driver's seat now, if he chooses to go that route. If he decides to no longer comment on the situation or says something about moving on, KW will be the only one looking like a fool in the end.

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 11:30 AM) When there's nothing concrete to b**** about... make s*** up. Sounds good to me. As I have said repeatedly, I'm not saying Frank's right in this situation. He's wrong too, but some people love to s*** on Frank any opportunity they get. I find it kind of pathetic.

If all his teammates hated him for 16+ years, do you honestly believe they would've put up with it? There's some obvious exaggerating going on here. I'd have a hard time believing the franchise would put up with such an asshole/cancer for that long, if he was as bad as a select few are saying. Because as so many of you have said, the team comes first. If he was so awful, they would've done something much sooner.
