June 27, 200421 yr Future All-Star Miguel Olivo. Remember that name KW. I hope he haunts you. Also Jeremy Reed. You traded him before Joe Borchard is a BIG mistake.
June 27, 200421 yr I was just kidding about him hitting our starting pitchers with some HR’s. Still... good luck to him
June 27, 200421 yr Good luck Miggy, I just realized how much I enjoyed watching you and how much I will miss you... Go out there and show Seattle what a good player they got and show KW how much of an idiot he is.
June 27, 200421 yr Thinking back to the game against New York when Miguel threw out Matsui at second base. You will be missed.
June 27, 200421 yr Or when he hit a granny against the Cubs... Or when he hit a homer in his first ML AB...
June 27, 200421 yr Or when he hit a granny against the Cubs... Which was his first MLB Grand Slam. He did it while wearing black and white
June 27, 200421 yr Big MO, your slam against the Cubbies last year will forever earn you a place in Sox lore. May you have a wonderful career in the Pacific Northwest for many, many years. It hurts to know that #8 won't be behind the plate anymore for the Southsiders. Cheers.
June 27, 200421 yr You were one of my favorite young players on the Sox and I wish you much luck over your career. Thank you for the memories and continue to dominate. Agreed. I thought Miggy was awesome during his short time here and I'm really sorry to see him go. Hopefully Garcia is everything he's cracked up to be or I'm gonna be pissed.
June 27, 200421 yr Man, this completely sucks to say Goodbye to Olivo. Loved watching him play and wish him continued success with the Mariners. As pissed as I am about losing Olivo, I think what we have to remember here is that pitching is EVERYTHING. Without it, you get nowhere. Garcia had better not disappoint us. Furthermore, we better sign Garcia to a long-term deal. Regardless of what happens this season, we better not have lost Olivo for nothing by letting Garcia go after 2004. f*** that. THE CUBS STILL SUCK AND GO SOUTH SIDE SOX!
June 27, 200421 yr I also question KW PUBLICLY calling out his game calling. There was nothing wrong with Miguel's pitch calling - at least for a catcher playing in his second ML year. It's not his fault Buehle has been knocked around in 2003 and 2004 It's not his fault Schow doesn't have the talent to be a front-line pitcher. It's not his fault Garland has an erratic breaking ball and no heart It's not his fault Rauch/Diaz/Munoz/Wright/Stewart/Porzio had nothing last 2 years My god I wish Seattle hitting coach gets him to re-adopt and all-field approach.....This guy will be up there with Mauer in the next 5-7 years. Adding to Miguel Memory: his bases-loaded single against Minnesota last September that got us to a rolling start. Hawk was more excited on that 1st inning single than he was on Frank's 2-run walk-off homer against the Twins in July. He gunned Beltran out twice in one week last year. Do you think Ramirez makes an error today if Sandy is running instead of Miguel? Not bloody likely.
June 27, 200421 yr Who the f*** is KW to badmouth Olivo after he's gone? That's some bulls*** if I ever saw it. Miggy did everything he was asked to do and then some and this assclown talks s***. I dont see why he feels the need to badmouth the guy, it's not like we got raped in this deal or anything.
June 27, 200421 yr Damn I just wanna say once again that I'm going to miss BIG MO. He's got a chance to be great once he learns to nail the hook.
June 28, 200421 yr Interesting, reporter on the Score says Kenny said during the press conference that he was souring on his game calling. Which is why he didn't catch Buehrle. That's total BS. If he's having problems game calling, then he should have got help from the dugout. He's only in his 2nd full season. KW, all class.
June 28, 200421 yr can't say nothing that hasn't been said already but, good luck migs. hope you kick the s*** out every team you play except the sox...
June 28, 200421 yr You can add Miguel Olivo to the list of players that have been publically dissed on their way out of town. It's the Reinsdorf way. I mentioned this in an article on whitesoxcentral a few weeks ago.
June 28, 200421 yr I feel sorry for the people who have his jersey now.. Collectible when he becomes a future All Star.
June 28, 200421 yr He's not a future allstar but yet again one of my favorites. Bye Miguel, we hardly knew ye.
June 28, 200421 yr Who the f*** is KW to badmouth Olivo after he's gone? That's some bulls*** if I ever saw it. Miggy did everything he was asked to do and then some and this assclown talks s***. I dont see why he feels the need to badmouth the guy, it's not like we got raped in this deal or anything. KW is trying to protect himself and his boss. Scumbag. If his bastard puppet-master boss doesn't penny pinch in 2002-2003, there is at least 1 divisional title, higher attendance that comes with winning, more profit for 2004 - he doesn't have to count every measly 100K and could pay for Garcia earilier, which means Miguel stays and some minor leaguer takes his place. I am sorry, but an INTENSE catcher with a live (if raw) power bat, absolute gun for an arm and good speed, one who will be cheap for years to come and whose personality perfectly suits the clubhouse (Uribe, Willie, Jose, Damasso, Ozzie) and the spirit of Soxdom......My god, it didn't have to be this way. Freddy should have been had a month ago.
