March 31, 200422 yr Now it sounds kind of far-fetched, but I have a few names that could succeed the Pale Hose Forum. Here they are: Jim Parque Memorial Forum:No he's not dead, that's his arm I'm speaking of. He had rotator cuff surgery and hasn't been the same up-and-coming pitcher since. The Mike Sirotka "Poor Bastard" Forum: In 2000, he led the team in ERA. Now he's out of baseball after having surgery on his elbow. After 2000, he was traded to the Jays in a scam deal to bring that fat piece of crap, David Wells. Lets just say it didn't work out for either team. The "What the hell happened to him?" Mike Caruso Forum: The once highly thought of prospect is now out of baseball. He had one great year in I believe 1998 or 99, then it was downhill from there. His only notoriety came when dumb yankee fans threw beer on his dad's head while watching the game at Yankee Stadium. The "I feel bad for him" Ron Karkovice Forum: The terrible hitting catcher who was known for wearing the goggles. if you didn't like "Kark" then you didn't like the Chisox. He was a good defensive catcher, but couldn't hit to save his life. He has since retired and who the hell knows or cares what has happened to him since. These are just a few. I got more if you want them.
March 31, 200422 yr Parque pitched for the DBacks at one of the games I as at out in Tucson as a lot of you know, but I was sitting in the lawn in left field right by the DBack bullpen and saw him up close and talked to him a little. Poor little fellow doesn't look like he'll ever be back in the bigs. On a side note, he looked like a kid swimming in his jersey, I didn't remember how small that dude is.
