Flash Tizzle Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 24, 2005 -> 09:10 AM) I know, I wasn't having a go at you personally. I'm just saying people had double standards when it came to that term, only a month ago people wanted KW fired, and now he's done a great job, and made the moves that he's had to make. And yes we've broken it first here, well a White Sox related site anyways, there's no mention on WSI. Â There's no irony our double standards with our (Williams bashers) noted complaints. Last offseason completely altered our confidence in this organization. Â When Walker was signed, insulting Williams was merely a joke. However, following Jaret Wright's departure from Free Agency "flying under the radar" became a target for criticism. Â I've apologized before and acknowledged offseason needs were fulfilled. Personally, it's irritating when someone says "And some people STILL will have something to complain about..," but I understand how many were irritated with criticism before Williams' spree of signings/trades. Â EDIT: Behold the glory of Soxtalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabroni Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 He still has to undertake a physical though. Hopefully nothing will come up with that shoulder, that he had surgery on back in 2002. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> His shoulder surgery was in 2000 but I agree with your sentiment.

My bad, I'm getting that mixed up with the shoulder flareup that hampered him in 2002, basically destroying that season and his stats.

The Critic Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Sorry to be a stick in the mud, but I'm going to wait for official confirmation before I pencil him into the 2 slot in the lineup and second base. I hope it's true, I REALLY hope it's true, but I'll wait for KW to announce it. I was going to try to write that in a style mocking that original translation, but I can't even write that confusingly.....only SS2k5 can....

At least the article is definitely from a legiminate source.

winninguglyin83 Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 is there any official confirmation of this yet? Â If so, Kenny Williams has indeed rebuilt this ballclub very nicely.

Texsox Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Another runner on the base paths. With Pods, Tad, and Konerko, burning up the paths, it's going to be a whole different look around the ballpark. I feel bad for the fireworks vendor, their orders may be cut in half next season.

RockRaines Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 This def gives us a better 1-2, as well as eliminating some more black hole at the bottom, good signing!!! UNless.....what if he fails the physical?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
