hammerhead johnson Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 QUOTE(UC76 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 07:41 PM) Personally, I hope Frank doesn't come back this year. There is just something about the vibe he creates. With him back the Sox were slowly creeping into that dead mode that killed them in the second half the past few years. Now that he's gone again, the Sox seem to be getting the fire back the last couple of games. Dude, keep this nonsense to yourself, or put it in your blog where nobody will see it. What do you get, like two hits per month? BTW, get a life. :rolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptatc Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 12:57 PM) No problem. I wasnt trying to be really sarcastic, I figured everyone had taken care of that for me. Alot of people dont really grasp how bad of an injury Thomas had(or still has), and figure its as simple as waiting for the ankle to heal. That isnt close to the truth, he could break the same bone over again if he puts pressure on the right part of his foot. He has screws in his ankle that wont come out. I wouldnt think you would be able to fake swelling in the ankle, or I wouldnt think that he would can the season because he doesnt feel like he is getting good ABs. Actually, the his current problems stem from the original fracture. As your definition stated the navicular was fractured and this led to problems in his arch. The joint between the navicular and the either the talus or the 1st metatarsal has begun to degenerate(per a quote by Schneider in the paper). This also leads to the lowering of the arch and the subsequent increased pressure and inflammation. The arch normally raises and lowers (supination and pronation) during running. It is this motion from a guy 275+ lbs that causes the pain and inflammation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank the Tank 35 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Ok, didn't Frank go to the doctor who performed his ankle surgery on Tuesday? Wouldn't we have some results by now about the state of Thomas, ie, when will he be back if at all??? I'm kinda starting to think that he may be out indefinitely, and the Sox are withholding the info as a bargaining chip for KW... you know, make it seem like we don't really have to have a big bat in a trade because Frank could be back. OR it may just be me getting bit by the trade rumor bug (it whispers things in my ear). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldRetiredGuy Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 It's called the "loser's limp". When a defensive back gets burned for a TD, he always starts a little limp on the way back to the sideline. I'm going to toss you a life preserver and rephrase what you said. If you are asking does the injuries hurt more after striking out or hitting a home run? Even your worst critics will agree it will hurt more after striking out and going 0-4. Duh. Attitude and emotion have a lot to do with healing. I've let a bad back keep me from gardening but if my lovely wife suggested sex, hell my back is fine. If you are suggesting Frank is faking to get back on the DL, you must be related to Jay Mariotti and I'm pulling that life preserver away, you are on your own.

JUGGERNAUT Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 To the author of this thread, Have you bothered to watch any games when Frank has gotten on base? What part of OBVIOUS pain & discomfort did you not understand? :rolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm saying is that he's getting old, he's hurt, and he can barely run to first base these days. And he's not getting any younger.

3 BeWareTheNewSox 5 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I hope your happy, Frank read your post, threw up, got disoriented, tripped over his pinball machine, and refractured the leg and is now out for the season You son of a b**** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
