Mike South24 Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 I cant believe they left frank out of that. It's so obvious that he's not welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 dan aka getupguy wrote a nice email to the front office about franks presence missing from the stationary.... heres their response to him... its good for a few laughs.....so tell me does kark, baines,fox, apprico, and blackjack still play for the sox? how could it seem to be misleading anyone if frank made the all star team when wearing a sox uniform... wether he stays or goes he still made the team when playing for us... why shouldnt he be on there with the rest of them... sounds like more backpedaling from the front office to me...... Dan- My answer to the absence of Thomas's picture from the All Star flyer was the same as yours. Apparently, because of his unknown contract status at print time, the decision was made to not include Frank's picture on the flyer. We did not want it to appear that we were misleading the fans through our advertising of the All Star Game. Your point is definitely heard, however, and I agree that he is our greatest offensive player in the history of this franchise. After your initial call, we apparently received a lot more public responses on this. Have a good day!

doubleM23 Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 This whole organization smells of Reinsdorf's s***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Its still a bunch of crap if you ask me. How do you expect to win if you can't treat people who have been loyal to you with respect. When Thomas signed that contract a long time ago he did it well under market value and then he gets dicked around by the Sox. I don't have a problem with using the clause, its what its their for, but screwing him from things like this is ridiculous. Gimme their email addie, I'm going to have a talk with them.

Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 jason direct your email to allison at the www. whatever it is .com on the end of the reply i posted that dan got.. .the message will get through loud and clear i promise you .. allison is one who does actually respond to anything shes sent......of course the answer you get may not be the one your looking for... but youll get one just the same... you can even call i believe the phone number is on there somewhere or fax her a nasty gram...... i have taken the liberties of doing just that email and fax..... someone will see it sooner or later and from the last statement on her reply it seems that most fans have voiced their opinion as well...........every shout out helps........maybe it will get kenny in the hot seat????? one can only hope anyhow......

Chisoxfn Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 I'll call her up on my way to school or something. I got free long distance and talking in person is always the best way to say my gripe, but I'm not going to hold it to him being left out of the banner. I'm also going to tell her to give JR an application to make me the new general manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 I never do things like this, but hey, I have time when I'm in traffic on my way to school. Maybe I should call up and ask for JR or KW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 funny thing is i just got of the phone with gug.. and he told me that he in fact talked to gallas today as well as jr's assistant.. and guess what.. they both claim that neither of them had any clue that this all star flyer even existed untill the phones started ringing off the hook yesterday with complaints about frank not being on there.......i say give them a call jas.. the more who chime in the merrier i think... hey maybe it will wake up jr from his winter slumber and pull the plug on kenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ncorgbl Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 I've loved the White Sox for over 51 years, but in one season Kenny Williams has made me so fed up, and Jerry Reinsdorf allowing it, that I hope Frank Thomas gets more money elswhere, and I'll go with him. No player is bigger than the team, not Thomas, nor anyone else. However, when the G.M. all but tells us we won't be winning anything soon, it's time to make a decision. I've had it with this goof who took us from 95 wins and a division, straight down to 80 wins. It makes me wanna :puke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike South24 Posted November 3, 2002 Share Posted November 3, 2002 Unless a few big name players are picked up, i see a bigger fan boycott until JR sells. His buddy system has dessroyed and good PR they had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 4, 2002 Share Posted November 4, 2002 If the team struggles next year, then yes I think you will see a huge decline in attendance, but if they can win without another pickup then you won't see any type of boycott imo. Of course picking up a quality pitcher would be real nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 the thing of it is jason that boycott has already begun......i have been in touch with a few people at the sox front offices within the past few days and the season ticket holder sales have dropped dramatically..... its not even close to the response they a had expected ..(espically since they host the allstar game)..... and if frank does in fact leave come dec. 7th you can expect to see a huge decrease in season ticket sales.....win or lose its going to be hard to rebound and fill seats with the bulls*** treatment the players and FANS have been subjected to thus far..........lies, and bulls*** gain you no respect.... kenny can put that in his pipe and smoke it..........

CubKilla Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Originally posted by hotsoxchick1kenny can put that in his pipe and smoke it.......... He won't..... he'll just call the fans a bunch of "b****es" for not attending and flip over a few hot dog carts on the Comiskey concourse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 your probably right.. oh and he will cry about only having 50 cents to spend on good players.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
