April 5, 200421 yr What'shisname didn't stick with Paulie for 3 months. Paul rode the bench quite a bit. The problem was that Daubach sucked too so Paulie was able to get more at-bats than he would have if Daubach had stepped up.
April 5, 200421 yr I think he can't possibly do any worse than the first half of last year so I am hoping that this year is more like his All Star half season. I think that he will have. If you go back a while, the problem didn't exactly start the beginning of last year. It started after the allstar break the year before. Konerko was one who when hitting well would "drive" the ball. When he got admitted to the homerun derby, his swing changed. His concentration also went to hitting HR's on National Tv, and it changed what he did best, and did normal. The beginning of this year, he came to realize that, and is no longer thinking about "the fence", but rather, back to just doing what comes natural to him...................... just making contact,hitting it hard, and driving it. Paul is going to be just fine this year........... fast start or not!
April 5, 200421 yr I hope he has a good season - my Konerko card collection lost so much value last year that I now have to pay people to take them.
April 5, 200421 yr I just messing around with you. New poster initiation, you know? I think if he gets off to a fast start, we should deal him. See if we can get a good starter for him, and then after that, deal for a solid 1Bman as well. I'd take Randall Simon or Tino Martinez. Either would be good for me. Good idea. I think that he doesnt deserve the money that he is receiving and with that money we can have a better 1Bman with less than that or a quality pitcher.
April 5, 200421 yr I think.... Paul will continue to decline. He's married now... it is all downhill from here
April 5, 200421 yr Just a gut feeling on the hip.. I had a feeling that you were going to refer to the hip problem. That's why I asked. Apparently, there is some basis to this. Damn.
April 5, 200421 yr I had a feeling that you were going to refer to the hip problem. That's why I asked. Apparently, there is some basis to this. Damn. Also, Paul played very little golf this ST... that's very suspect from previous years where he was out at Starr Pass almost daily.
April 5, 200421 yr Also, Paul played very little golf this ST... that's very suspect from previous years where he was out at Starr Pass almost daily. Or maybe he was concentrating on baseball?
April 5, 200421 yr Or maybe he was concentrating on baseball? Could be. But he, who was once the most actively involved, passed up almost all of the organized outings.
April 5, 200421 yr Could be. But he, who was once the most actively involved, passed up almost all of the organized outings. Come on, he's in love now.
