Anybody hear which game is supposed to be the best? Without MVP (an MLB version anyway) I'm not really sure which one to get.

I thought he said it the way Kenny should have said it.

I picked Konerko for all the reasons stated above. Funny story though... We have two televisions in reletively close vicinity in the house. One in the front room and one in the dining room. Thing is, when you're sitting at the dining room table, you can see the television in the front room. And the television in the dining room is an HDTV, and about 5-10 seconds behind the television in the front room (for reasons I'm not sure of). Anyways, I was sitting at the dining room table when Paulie was up and couldn't help myself from watching the TV in the front room, while everybody else was watching the TV that was well behind. And when Paulie hit the ball, I had a Brian Anderson-like "oh my god, oh my god" moment. Meanwhile, the rest of my family and friends are looking at me wondering what the hell is wrong with me. That is, until they eventually see what happens on the HDTV, and the whole house erupts into absolute euphoria! I'll never forget that moment. Not to diminish Scotty Pods walk off, but I can't think of a bigger, more exciting home run in our history. And maybe its just me, but the fact that it was Paulie that hit it just made it a little better.

They played the Grand Slam in Game 2 before the interview. Gave me the chills. Of course, the final out in Game 4 was absolutely amazing, but I basically had an out-of-body experience when Paulie hit that slam.

Say what you want about Bonds, but thats f***ing hilarious. At least he has something resembling a sense of humor about himself. Still a prick, but thats pretty funny.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 09:24 AM) * North talked about how stupid the WBC is due to injuries. KW said that our pitchers (Garcia & Vazquez) could get hurt in Spring Training anyways so it isn't a huge deal. KW also mentioned that the WBC could help a few really good players reach the MLB when they would not have had the chance before. Yup, this is what Kenny really thinks of the WBC.

Hey, I for one think Willie is worthy of Chuck Norris-like status. But thats just me.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 08:44 PM) I couldn't cheer for Frank, I lost my voice leading Willie 4 MVP chants. I'm gonna miss that so called playa. He's gonna miss you too.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 06:19 PM) I haven't said Kenny is 100% correct in this. I mean he went off yesterday, but at some point you have to understand the man. I mean, there has to be a breaking point somewhere. Frank just manged to get him there over time. Believe me, I understand completely why Kenny would be pissed. Still shouldn't have taken it to the public. And I understand why Frank would be upset. Nobody likes to be told that they aren't needed. Still should have kept it to himself. The thing is, the debate shouldn't be whether Kenny's is speaking the truth or not. I'm sure Kenny's got some good reasons. The problem is that he should have kept it in-house, and there shouldn't be much debating about that. For the record, if you forced me to pick sides, I'd choose Kenny's, mostly cause I've never been a big fan of Frank's attitude. But there is no reason to pick sides, and the fact of the matter is, both were completely out of line, and both look bad. Arguing who looks worse, or who is the bigger ass seems pretty stupid.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 06:11 PM) I want to make it well known that I absolutely love Kenny as a GM. He did it. He helped bring a champion to Chicago. For that, I'll always be in debt to him. I hope he's our GM for the next 20 years. I just think he was wrong for the comments he made yesterday. Simple as that. The funny thing is that I think most of us agree on this. Even aboz. I think all this bickering isn't so much about who's at fault as much as its about who's more at fault. Kinda stupid if you ask me.

Nobody should be getting their ass kissed in this situation. Frank was wrong and Kenny was wrong. Neither of them are innocent here. Frank whined until he got a response, and Kenny responded by getting personal. Its a classic elementary school battle. Nobody took the high road and both look bad. All this arguing over who was right and who was wrong is rediculous. God, I can't wait till April 2!

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 04:58 PM) That's because everyone is blinded by the World Series title. Kenny can do no wrong anymore. Well, that and they never liked Frank in the first place.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Feb 27, 2006 -> 01:40 PM) that is what i have been trying to tell people. Kenny made no attempt at bringing him back or even checking on his health. It was pretty much a "don't let the door hit you on your way out" kind of thing. I wish Frank would shut up but I can see where he is coming from. I think KW is way out of line. I read the interview and he really didn't say anything that bad. He didn't disrespect KW or JR. Kenny should be fined for what he did. I've said it before...to think Kenny's outburst is specifically about the last Frank interview is incorrect. Based on all the comments that Kenny made, it seems quite obvious that this was all built up over the course of Kenny's time here. I still don't think he should have publicly said it, but still, it ain't just about that single interview.

Between the latest thing Ozzie said, the KW and Frank catfight, and Brian Anderson's sexist comments, Pale Hose Talk has become the bastion for social commentary on this board. Kinda funny. Can't wait till the games start so we can start talking baseball.

I always thought Ron Karkovice was the face of the organization.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Feb 26, 2006 -> 09:47 PM) That would've worked as well. I still think it would've been better to have a face to face sit down. A meesage on voicemail just doesn't cut it. If we're talking Geoff Blum, fine. But the greatest player in franchise history deserves a little more than that. Yah, Kenny should have remembered that Frank doesn't respond to phone calls. Apparently he forgot about the last few offseasons where Frank wouldn't return phone calls. And why would he? Its only the boss calling.
