cwsox Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 he pulled a hamstring and left the game - has anything more been said? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I don't think so. At the very most, I'd suppose probably a trip to the 15-day DL, and I would guess probably just take a week off and just pinch hit late if necessary. But do not take that like it is a guarantee...I'm just using my best judgement, and my best judgement could be very bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bones Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 give harold a bat. he can dh and be bench coach at the same time. it'll give us another lefty in the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandoFan Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 That was the only mothaf***ing low-light of the game. Without Frank, we are in deep s***. Now people see why he could never make more han 5-6 Mill? Too much health risk. And was that 2nd base worth it? I'd rather he pull a Jimenez than a hammy.

WSoxShuf Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Day to Day probably, he may miss Tuesday. Start Gload, I like his swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 give harold a bat. he can dh and be bench coach at the same time. it'll give us another lefty in the lineup. we tried that once already... Baines batted under .200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bones Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 we tried that once already... Baines batted under .200 well, it's either that or sign jose canseco again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandoFan Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 The worst part is that he actually kept pon runninbg and made a slide. That probably made it worse. He had no chance at 2nd anyway. God-motherf***ing-dammit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandoFan Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Guys....some players are NOT meant to play small-ball. Konerko, Thomas, Edgar....They were born to hit, not run. No base is worth that, let alone a 2nd base in a blow-out. What a downer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike12345 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I hope Frank comes back soon...he was just starting to play better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 If Frank DL's who gets called up? I'll say they bring up Wunsch, although they probably won't add another pitcher. I still don't see the big deal in this. Frank will be fine and if he has to miss a few games fine, I got full confidence in Gload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, everyone needs to calm down. He didn't appear too hurt to me. I doubt he goes on the DL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddy Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 hope it's nothing serious, but on a somewhat lighter note, and totally off topic... my god i knew frank was huge but not that huge. Did you see him limping off next to joey cora?? frank is like three times wider and twice as tall. one of those guys who pitchers really shouldnt intentionally hit unless they wanna pull a guillerimo mota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No base is worth that, let alone a 2nd base in a blow-out. What a downer. No, if you see the replay again, Frank had second easily, probably standing. He started gimping halfway to second, he almost beat it out even gimping halfway there, lol. I heard on The Score, 670, that Frank is day-to-day.

Now people see why he could never make more han 5-6 Mill? Too much health risk. And was that 2nd base worth it? I'd rather he pull a Jimenez than a hammy. How does that work? He's hitting freeking .220something. I dont think he'll be missed that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Here's from Chisox.com... Right hamstring may limit Big Hurt Thomas' status unclear; Valentin also questionable ST. PETERSBURG -- The Big Hurt could be feeling his nickname again. White Sox slugger Frank Thomas left Sunday's 5-0 victory against Tampa Bay with a hamstring injury and his status for the team's upcoming series against New York is in doubt. The injury occurred in the fifth as Thomas batted with one on and out. He lined a single into the left-field corner to score Jose Valentin from second. He ran down the baseline and attempted to stretch the hit into a double. However, he said as he took his second step after hitting first base, he felt a shot of pain. Thomas was thrown out sliding into second and limped off the field. Ross Gload pinch-hit for Thomas, who was the designated hitter, in the seventh. "In a couple of days, we'll know more," Thomas said. "Right now, I don't know." Thomas declined further comment, but manager Ozzie Guillen remained optimistic that things weren't too serious. "I don't think it's that bad," Guillen said. "He said he felt something pop. We need him, so we'll see how it is day to day." Thomas has made four trips to the disabled list, most recently in 2001 when a torn right triceps limited him to just 20 games that season. His 1999 season was cut short because of right ankle surgery, and he went on the DL in '97 with a pulled left oblique and '96 with a stress fracture in his left foot. So far this season, Thomas is batting .243 with one home run and five RBIs. Thomas isn't the only one with hamstring troubles. Valentin missed Friday's game because of tightness in his left hamstring and the same injury caused him to be pulled in the seventh inning of Sunday's game. Valentin played the whole game Saturday and homered in the third inning Sunday before reaggravating the hamstring running out a ground ball in the sixth. He said he felt the muscle twist as he landed on the base. Valentin remained in the game to take the field in the bottom half of the inning, but Juan Uribe replaced him in the bottom of the seventh. A strained right hamstring landed Valentin on the disabled list in June of 2001. "A couple of years ago, that was a complete pull," Valentin said. "This is more like a twist. I just don't want to deal with it and if it gets worse, it's going to take a long time. I don't want to go back there, so I'll be glad if it's a couple of games and not a month. "With the way we're playing, I can afford to not have to go out there and be a hero." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
