hammerhead johnson Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Wow, he's gonna take a beating on this one. From the comments section on Hardball Talk: “Multiple exclamation marks are a sure sign of a diseased mind.” Terry Pratchett http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/04/...iced-this-year/ I'd like to add people who whistle when nobody else is around to the indicators of mental illness. Hope that ain't the case with Frank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 He is really strange about players he likes and dislikes when compared to himself. He was Carlos Quentins biggest fan, thought he would be a prolific HR hitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 08:28 AM) Frank's ego was always his biggest flaw I'm guessing he took some sage advice in keeping his mouth shut during the HOF voting.

Princess Dye Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Frank has every right to have a ton of pride in himself. And to feel a chip on his shoulder from being robbed of a few things. That ego getting out of hand from time to time is him being human, nothing more than that. Edited April 9, 2014 by Jose Paniagua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank says this, an offhanded comment, and here it's "whoops he's getting out of line again" DBL STANDARD I think what surprised me about this is him commenting on the White Sox with this stuff. Since Abreu was compared to him he has tweeted a bunch of childish stuff like this. I have no doubt he wrote this because of Abreu's 2 HRs.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 No wonder atheletes stick to cliches. Anything slightly controversial or out of the ordinary and the guy takes a beating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
