greg775 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 That last outside pitch he coulda hammered to rf for a single. Bad, Jermaine, bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RME JICO Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 07:48 PM) 2003 Konerko and 2009 Rios aren't even remotely comparable, other than they both sucked. Speaking of Paulie, he is quietly putting together a nice season after that slump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 08:47 PM) kotsay has been so clutch. shame we got nothing behind him. Then again, the law of averages says Jermaine is f***ING DUE! Everything this guy hits, atleast the games I watch, seem to be line drives across the field. He's like Ross Gload's doppelganger. His line drive percentage rate must be ridiculous compared to league average.  /strikeout  DEAD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 17, 2009 -> 08:44 PM) He's hit before. He's made a couple of All Star teams, so he's no novice. Maybe he's stubborn. Maybe he is lacking desire like many scouts claim. Maybe he's just in a slump the size no one has ever seen before. He will eventually be better. Â Â Well us Sox fans have seen slumps like that before. It should be nothing new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 and he chases one down and away. with the go ahead run 90 feet away. Â honestly, the only way we score there is with a passed ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 They had just signed Konerko to a brand new deal after 2002. 3 years 23mil I believe. Â But remember their payroll was drastically smaller back then. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Lots of goats again tonight. Wow, Jermaine is like Rios. Both should try to make outs and they'd stroke hits. You'd think the law of averages would have had jermaine be the hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 (edited) How are 2003 Konerko and 2009 Rios not similar? Â Both had seasons that were completely outliers to their normal stats. Â I know you werent here in 2003, but most people wanted to give away Konerko for free on this board.

If they could have given him away for free, they probably would . I believe Konerko hit .270 the second half. At least it gave the Sox some hope for a rebound which did happen. The Sox are on the hook for $60 million for Rios. If you think they wouldn't give him away to some team willing to take the entire contract, I think you are crazy.

greg775 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 You'd almost wish Jermaine would have said he had a sore back so he wouldn't have to play at all this month. I'd rather have Danks up here even if he's not ready. All he had to do was poke a hit there, any hit. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I wouldn't be surprised if Tony Pena gets a shot at being our closer next year. I think Ozzie likes using Thornton all over the place too much for him to be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 The Sox arent trading Rios. 1) If Toronto could have gotten anything for him they would have.  2) The Sox (unlike their fans) generally dont just throw a player away after 1 bad season. They understand that players have good seasons and bad seasons, and not every player is slump proof.  Rios is a major part of the Sox future, regardless of how many board experts disagree. 2.
