October 16, 200520 yr During Konerko's at bat in the 1st, immediately after his check swing and near strike out, I noticed him say something to umpire. I didn't put it together at first, but after the inning it dawned on me ... Paulie told the umpire that Santana's shirt tail was hanging out. He got Santana out of what little rythem he had. Next pitch .... BOOM! I went back on my DVR and watched the AB again just to verify what I thought had happened. You can first notice the shirt tail out as Santana made his second pitch to Konerko. I don't know if Paulie picked his spot or happened to notice just before he said something to ump. The point is that he said something and then got a cookie from Santana on the next pitch.

Good point, rattle and get a young pitcher out of his rythem in anyway possible, good gamesmanship by paul, oh yeah and nice hit.
October 16, 200520 yr funny thing was, when santana was fixing his shirt, i told my dad "hes gonna hit it over the triple a sign..." next pitch... over the triple a sign what a call! =D
October 16, 200520 yr My friend and I were wondering why the pitcher was "redressing" on the mound lol.
October 16, 200520 yr Earlier in the season, I was raining on Kong's parade a lot. I was ready to see him go. I need to take all that back. PK owes me a bunch of crow.

October 16, 200520 yr konerko's acted like a 4 hitter in the playoffs, which was something we were dearly missing during our slump, we had no 3 or 4 hitter.
