  1. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 26, 2014 -> 09:35 AM) Honestly if it wasn't for Konerko's time having overlap with Frank Thomas, Paulie would be a legend on the level of guys like Aparicio and Appling in White Sox lore. If you take out Frank, Konerko is by far the best power (long term speaking) hitter in the history of the franchise, and no one else is particularly close. In a franchise that still talks about guys like Harold Baines and Dick Allen, Paulie blows them all away. I think he is. That's why I mentioned White Sox legend. Legend by itself is for guys like Frank who was one of the best ever (hall of fame) and is remembered by outside fans. We as white sox fans will always remember Paulie.
  2. QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 25, 2014 -> 09:19 PM) Walkoff single for Jeter...pretty awesome That was something. I don't like him cause of the media sucking his nuts 24/7, but the guy is pure class and a true legend. Pretty much impossible to hate as an ambassador of the game. I do hate that he slept with most of the woman that I can dream of.
  3. QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 25, 2014 -> 02:54 PM) False. "A White Sox legend" describes him succintly and perfectly. Fixed. I'll leave the legend only status for Big Frank. Gonna miss Paulie though. Nothing beats that grand slam for me.
  4. QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 25, 2014 -> 02:16 AM) Next year Davidson will hit 30 homers and Nate Jones will have 60 saves. Impossible since Jones won't be back till like 2016.
  5. Seeing the replay of the game right now. You can see both Sale and Flowers look out there Martinez was up.
  6. QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 09:36 PM) Maybe Ackley is the guy Hahn mentioned they were close to getting at the deadline? Personally, I don't think these two are much better than what ADA and Dunn were I wonder if there's something Steverson sees in both (namely Ackley) that he believes he can work with and has relied to the org. Ackley has always had the potential, and Butler has been a solid hitter in the past. I don't know though, I agree with you in a sense. Hell I could see if Ackley had Alex Gordon like defense out in LF but it's no better than ADA actually.
  7. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 06:29 PM) Carroll averaging 3 BB's and just 4 K's per 9 IP. Anything below 5.5 is considered dangerous. Continues the depressingly low swing and miss rate. He has never been a guy who was considered to have great stuff. Not sure why this is comming as a surprise.
  8. Some of the angles Kyle Fuller takes is just incredible to see from a rookie. He will make mistakes, but that kid is legit.
  9. Sierra is fun to watch defensively.
  10. QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 21, 2014 -> 01:29 PM) Sanchez is showing off defensively at 2B. And he is still showing off.
  11. Hmm.. so this is what it's like playing a team worse than you.
  12. On my god Avi just straight murdered another ball.
  13. Sanchez is showing off defensively at 2B.
  14. QUOTE (JoshPR @ Sep 21, 2014 -> 12:55 PM) Is it me or does John Danks windup/motion to home seem a tad different? He tweaked it a bit in his last start.
  15. QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 21, 2014 -> 05:35 AM) Rob Bironas killed in car crash. Awful. Was an underrated kicker. Big foot. Just awful. Wow.. still holds the record for most FGs in a game. R.I.P.
  16. Sox lose. Chili is happy. Keep that pick protected!
  17. 2 walks for Avi. His plate discipline this month has been great to see.
  18. QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 20, 2014 -> 08:08 PM) Does his 1 HR this year in the majors impress you? Lol. Or his 11 HR combined in 102 games in 2014? The kid had 23 as a 19 year old in the Midwest league. I didnt think about the variety of it until now.
  19. Damn I didn't realize how much power Nick Franklin had either. If its true Hahn wanted him, then that sucks to see.
  20. Archer vs Noesi. 0-0 top of the second. First game thread for me in a year.
  21. QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 19, 2014 -> 07:12 PM) In other news...Marcus semien somehow has 13 errors He also has 2 walks. Nice to see a young guy do that in our org.
  22. QUOTE (TitoMB @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 08:08 PM) Yep. Sad. Oh well. He's going to win a Cy Young at some point in his career. As long as Robin doesn't leave him out there for 127 pitches again.
  23. QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Sep 15, 2014 -> 10:36 PM) Trying to think draft pick. Failing. But trying. To me it's more thinking of protected. I can care less where we pick from 5-11, as long as it's protected. Barring any high schoolers surprising, the top talent in next year's draft isn't as strong as this years. I'm a big time prospect whore, but I don't want to see us picking top 3 again as it means we haven't improved at all as an organization.
