sox-r-us Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 This is not the first time I have heard a Sox player say the back drop in the baggy dome makes it very difficult for them to hit there Now i know the twins do hit there, but they are used to it There is a reason this team is so much better at home with the bats....especially Frank and Maggs.....they have this comfort level with the back drop at USCF Here is a quote by Frank after the game tonight ---------- "This is a real ballpark," Thomas said. "There's no hitting background in that dome" in Minnesota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFanForever Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 You would think after playing in the league for 13 years and playing in the Twinkie Dome as long that he wouldn't have to come up with excuses. They just didn't get it done. It's that easy. They failed to execute in the clutch. No team plays all their games at home. You aren't there to be comfortable, you are there to win ball games.

The Critic Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Boo Hoo Hoo... Maybe if they DIDN'T SWING AT THE FIRST PITCH EVERY TIME UP, they'd get "used to it" too!!!! You certainly can't get used to it by giving opposing pitchers 6-pitch innings, like they gave Rogers and Hawkins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Other teams haven't had much of a problem hitting there, check the Twins pitchers ERA. Frank needs to quit making excuses when he comes up empty in big games. Remember the 2000 playoffs when all he did was pop up to 2nd all the time? That was at Comiskey, they didn't change the hitting backdrop between the regular season and playoffs. He needs to take his failure like a man and be done with it.

CubKilla Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Maybe Frank can give me a good excuse to use on Sox management to re-coup all of the money I wasted on this team this season..... and last season..... and the season before that.....

MurcieOne Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Frank really wanted to win this year, and I think that he's realized that it's a mere pipedream now, so he's trying to rationalize why they lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. It was wrong what he said, but I believe that this guy really wanted to win this year. I just hope he comes back with more fire and passion next year.

In franks defense, although he deserves NONE, the whole team is teh same way. Everyone concerned with their own stats, hoping our lame ass manager just sits in the corner of the dougout. Well everyone should be happy. Jm let them be selfish and they put up some f***ing home runs this year. Ya know if i wasnt a loyal LIFETIME fan, id bail on these cock sucking mother f***ers....... :fyou :fyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
