I didn't catch it so I'm not sure of the tone. He's been fairly PC for a while now, in my opinion. Fairly calm and respectful. He's been praising his team and basically called the GS luck because it was what he was looking for. I think I prefer that response than an outright lie. Wouldn't it be worse if he said something like "I want to be a White Sox forever and I never want to leave this city, love the organization and fans, will do everything I can to stay, etc..." and then he bolts?

Someone asked him the question and he answered it. It's not about finishing the job. That's like someone asking you in the middle of a huuuuge project, so, if Company X came and offered you 3x your salary, would you take it? Of course you would...you wouldn't say, nope, gotta finish this project first. Would you? I know what you are saying, but it's not as though Paulie was saying...I would LOVE to play for the Red Sox next year. Just, I'm gonna listen to what they have to say.

The Ginger Kid Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Here's a good article on Konerko having no desire to go to Boston: Link On another note I wish you could hear the ESPN local show in LA and how they're making such a huge deal out of this roof/no roof "scandal." Must be a slow day in sports. They're so jaded about the Sox, they're suggesting the league wants the Sox to win and that has something to do with the three disputed calls in the ALCS and WS.

LosMediasBlancas Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) I wish ballplayers would handle a lot of things differently with the press, Oh well. I think the league wants the Sox to win too. I also think the league does everything it can to make sure it's NY vs. Boston every year too. We are a nice little plan B for them.

You're gonna have to study them, you're gonna have to know them. They're your friends. Write this down: We gotta play it one day at a time. And my fave: Don't think, it can only hurt the ball club.

Irishsox1 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Don't get me wrong, Paulie has been solid the last 2 years, but I would be a lot more devistated if any of our 6 starting pitchers left. We'll be able to fill in Paulie's spot, just ask Magglio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercy! Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Here's a good article on Konerko having no desire to go to Boston: Link ...... I love the breathless style of sports writers being gossip columnists – the unnamed sources that the writer leads us to believe are exclusive to him. Except I think I’ve read these player quotes elsewhere. Another laugher – “Konerko reportedly made $8.75 million this season ….” – as if Mr. Cowley is slipping us privileged information on his earnings. Reportedly? No, as published in any database of MLB salaries. Oh never mind. I should be happy for all the press the Sox are finally getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
