Frank Thomas Day Meetup

PrintAlthough I haven't read any official plans for the day, I figure that the 29th is going to be the game that has the most SSSers in attendance. And as such, it's time for another meetup.
I realize that we're going to be spread out all over the park, so plan on getting to the park early for some Sunday morning tailgating. I don't have any specifics -- have to finalize my group/car situation. I'll probably have a pop-up awning/tent/shade thingy -- other than we'll be in lot 2 really early.
For those of you planning to attend the game, shoot me an email (located at bottom of the page) with a subject title of "Frank Thomas Meetup" and I'll add you to a list that will feature more specific information.
I may have one extra ticket as well, so if you're in need write me an email, subject "Frank Thomas Ticket." I'll have to sit next to you the whole game, so I'm not gonna be handing it out first-come-first-serve or to the highest bidder. I'll choose based on who I wanna sit next to for 3 hours.

I'd take the ticket for hip breaking purposes
But I imagine with the way things are going, even a Cheat-Drug-Coma inspired run will not be enough.
I will be at the game though, I’ll try to stop by the tailgate assuming I get there early enough.

Possibly the last meaningful game of the season tonight.
If we lose, which we probably will, that would put us 5 games back with 3 left to play against the Twins. Win, and we are 3 back with 3 to play. Neither looks good, but if we go 5 games back….that’s all she freakin wrote, season ova.
Oz on Swish HR celeb: "That's the way he is. Good for him, enjoy it. I wish he could do it for me, he was a very horseshit player for me.''
after today
the sox have 4 games remaining with the twins.
i am a bark for buffeting. i am a hound for thornypaws. i am a doe for swiftness. i am a tree for wind-siege. i am a windmill. i am a hole in a wall.
You're clearly right. Tonight has mathematical elimination written all over it.

Its sort of a chess match right now but some upgrades are still possible with very little cost except money.
by Tdogg on Jul 23, 2010 10:13 AM EDT
when i was at the score i liked
North, J Hood, Fred Heubner, Laurence Holmes, Jiggs….. the major douche bags were Bernstein, Boers, George Offman and Jesse Rogers.
Kenwo4life=ratings
Can't speak for the others - but George Ofman and I always got along great
Theain is the guy I Just can’t stand! pierre is almost as bad,he dose get on base more. If Quntin gets any worse trade him. WE NEED HELP!
eh i was a lowly intern and he treated me as such
but north, jiggs, hood, fred and laurence treated me as if i worked there for 10 years.
Kenwo4life=ratings
I'm a firm believer in treating interns well. You could be asking them for a job one day.
Unless you hover over me. Or are a close talker. That’s kind of annoying.

I'll be at this game with my family
So, I won’t be stopping by the tailgating. Maybe another time…
Also, I think I’m actually going to spend tonight in the gamethread while watching on TV downstairs in the basement to see if that makes any difference for our boys….
On Twitter? Follow my occasional rants about whatever...
After 3 hours to taeof sleep last night (you can almost look it up)
and taking it in the face from nice Twins fans today I am not sure I can tolerate another fucking Twinn game. I am mightily pissed and am almost ready to unload (verbally) on my family. That is not healthy. So I may refrain from posting this evening.
Soul killers, these Sox are. Hot August night. Call me a pussy. I don’t care. I’m like Vince Vaughn in “Wedding Crashers” and need to shut it down to recharge my batteries.

don't be such a baby.
the white sox are killing my family but you don’t hear me crying about it.
i am a bark for buffeting. i am a hound for thornypaws. i am a doe for swiftness. i am a tree for wind-siege. i am a windmill. i am a hole in a wall.
I would have to agree
You try getting up at 3:30 in the morning after following that crap. I’m gonna sit these next few plays out. Jump back on the horse on Thursday.

i'll be there
maybe i’ll stop by the tent.

I like it
I wish there were people in the clubhouse who were as dickish as Cowley. Everyone else in the Chicago media (including the team’s broadcasters) are so far up the Twins ass it’s not even funny.
For the record, the first guy with the Kirby slam was our own Sox Machine. He suggested the Puckett statue go in ladies’ room.

I am certainly not bothered by dickery, but he is sincerely unfunny about it. His off-the-cuff writing reads like a teenager's facebook feed. Improper use of words and all.
Jim’s ‘dig’ was clever.
I don’t think there’s even a comparison to the quality of their commentary, let alone writing overall.

The medium is dead, Cowley is proof.
Promoted from the SouthTown in an economy move, never grew into a real reporter. A Mariotti wannabe without a column.
Not all AAA players are prospects.

He was different at the Southtown
Goes to show what influence editors have. The attitude at the S-T — hell, from all papers — goes from the top down. If he were working at the Trib … he would no longer be working at the Trib.

the few last memories i have of him in a sox uni
are him ripping a homer off the cubs in the first inning…. and him hitting a homer i believe in the 13th against the tigers in Detroit to put us ahead… i was at that game with my bro, dad and wife…. we cheered and somebody tried to bombard us with beer from the upper deck… luckily though it just hit my wife (who was way less obnoxious than the rest of us)… .she hates the tigers because of that til this day. lol

off topic again... im kenWadhd today....
but i think the sox should play you dropped a bomb on me by the gap band when they hit a homer while they round the bases. :)

Another example of a grizzled vet that Sox brass should’ve never let go. You gotta save a bench spot for these guys and let them go out with their team!
I love the new popularity contest that cheat is running too!
Can I play!
I promise to:
Shower
not show my nipples
avoid eating bacon the night before
not share any work pictures
avoid dissing the city of baltimore.
