I said maddux in a different thread as a joke. If this is true, that would be one mighty big coincidence.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 10:18 AM) everyone on the northside has a boner for patterson's talent, and his "potential." This guy has no talent, he is a no talent ass-clown. He has no strike zone eye, and whenever he makes contact, he hits it out, which is rare. He has speed but cant steal bases. The guy is nothing more than an average player. If I was cubs fans, I would be calling for a trade of patterson, Pie is going to be a much better player, and pretty much already is! That reminds me of someone on the Sox......(cough)Willie Harris(cough).....

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 10:17 AM) When he was with Cincy he played in all of 26 games - is that long enough to really get a feel for a fellow infielder (asking as I never played a team sport)? I have to say that it floors me how people love to put words in other peoples' mouths around here. He has played with Uribe, Valentin and Clayton as regular shortstops - who, defensively, would you rank as tops there? With Valentin - Konerko had to practically be an acrobat to make some of those digs and catches. I like Uribe, but he doesn't stand out as a good defensive ss. Does Clayton have the personality of dirt? Yeah, but you can say that about many players through the years of professional baseball. That is a very valid point.

QUOTE(Be Good @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 07:46 AM) I just want to see Duque's ERA stay in the low 4's. If that happens he will be one of the best No.5 starter in the league. But he's in the 4th spot in the rotation. Garland is in the 5th spot.

That is insane, ARow is so much better than Patterson.

I think paulies got enough support between him and DLee for now. Over 1000 votes

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 10:06 AM) Except for he makes other teammates look bad, Ozzie doesn't do that. PK already ripped Uribe for the deke on DLee, what the f*** is the point in doing that? What are you going to accomplish? Now he says Clayton>Uribe. Even if he's right thats not needed. STFU Paul. That is true, but Uribe shouldn't had done the deke to DLee. Someone needed to say something to uribe, not to the press, and that's where i beileve Paul screwed that one up.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 10:03 AM) Paul just doesn't know when to shut his f***ing mouth. That's true, he's got Ozzie Syndrom.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 10:00 AM) Because the guy can't hit for s*** and yet our organization continues to give him free passes. Oh, and the fact that he is a clubhouse cancer. I see. Pauls hitting seems to be coming around as of late. He's batting over .250!!

Im surprised on how well the Pirates are doing. Did anybody expect them to be 4 games under .500 64 games through the season? I didn't. McLendon has done a fabulous job with what he has in Pittsburgh. The Pirates management should go, not him.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 09:52 AM) Konerko is a little b**** who should be traded immediatly. Why do you think that?

Chavez has been getting hot as of lately.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 07:09 AM) I'm sure he can... but what's your point? For his new favorite player.

Hopefully it's just a little hot streak that they are going on, and can get off of soon.

I liked Kelly while he was here, but i do understand his agressiveness to try and haunt us. The keyword is try though.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 07:30 AM) I know.. and I agree it's hype.. but it is a bit weird. Paul could have said a million things.. but that he's the "best" he's ever played with.. What other shortstops besides Uribe and Valentin did he play with. If the Choice is the best one, then i would not like to see that list. Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Paul play with Barry Larkin while Paul was in Cincinatti.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 07:34 AM) I do not see a problem of any kind here. PK was definitely asked a question about the throw Clayton made, that's obvious my his response. He has an opinion and expressed it. Exactly.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 07:28 AM) Just a guess but I am sure a reporter asked him about the play in one form or another, and after the screw ups they had that game themselves, maybe he was feeling sorry for him? I don't know, but beginning with the title of the thread, this is all one big assumption, if you know what I mean. As in their is no truth to the thread title. It is just implied by a statement that Paul made about Clayton.

No where in the article did Konerko ever say he didn't like Uribe, but someone implied that he did. :headshake

Keith on the South Side again. That would be weird.

Now the Twinkies get to deal with the struggling Padres. Maybe the Padres can start to turn it around in this series.

Wow, I do feel bad for him. But I can understand why he seems so aggressive out there.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 12:56 AM) They probably will be promoted. They deserve to be promoted.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 11:46 PM) Not the 48/13 K/BB ratio though. Not so much that.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 06:17 AM) Working directly with a couple of futures desks in Sydney, I can attest to the usage of "mate" It is just like dude here. But they keep asking me for Fosters and Vegemite, and it is really pissing me off Ok, thanks for the help DBAHO, Kalapse and SS2K5.
