southsider2k5 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Apr 10, 2014 -> 09:27 AM) Buehrle implies Maddux has cheated his whole career and this board probably stands up in applause. Frank says this, an offhanded comment, and here it's "whoops he's getting out of line again" DBL STANDARD Some people just choose the ostrich stance when it comes to Frank.

bmags Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 10, 2014 -> 06:37 PM) No wonder atheletes stick to cliches. Anything slightly controversial or out of the ordinary and the guy takes a beating. I think it's more the fact that he said something stupid.

Sounds stupid to you but suppose there is some merit in it. Even if he is talking off the top of his head we all know how baseball loves the longball. Baseball becomes like soccer with low scoring games with billions of entertainment dollars at stake.

Jake Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Didn't someone post about how there have been fewer home runs per game so far this year than the same time last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more comfortable on the neck. Otherwise, you get whiplash from shaking your head so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Do we know if Frank writes his own tweets? He just doesn't seem like a Twitter guy to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's used twitter a lot to promote Big Hurt Beer, he could be paying someone, but if so, that person is also dumb to write something like that.

mr_genius Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Apr 9, 2014 -> 09:58 AM) I'm guessing he took some sage advice in keeping his mouth shut during the HOF voting. ^^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything slightly controversial or out of the ordinary and the guy takes a beating. If you say something in a public forum, expect some people to attack. I'm sure some agree with him but those people usually don't comment. In today's society eveybody thinks their opinion needs to be heard.

A pain the the rear is treated like a pain in the rear. It's the Dave Kingman treatment. I've never gotten why Frank is seen as a destructive personality. Yes he has said some things he'd like back. These are jocks. We watch games where the absolute best jocks are all thrown together. They are going to say dumb things, as it is what jocks do. If we want a collection of the best mannered getting awards for good manners..i dont know where i turn instead. Westminister Dog Show on USA? With some MLB guys, it's a sickness (Milton B., Belle) but Frank is so far from that category that i worry 0 about this and always have left it to others to prattle on about it.

He wasn't destructive just not very kind or friendly in public. He has every right to do that. He is just a controversial personality in that area.

Texsox Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Ncorgbl told Frank to keep his mouth shut and let his bat speak for him. They were tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurcieOne Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Frank is very similar to Urlacher in this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
