November 30, 200520 yr PAUL-IEEEEEEEEEE PAUL-IEEEEEEEEEE PAUL-IEEEEEEEEEE Oh my goodness, this is epic, folks. If this is true--and it sounds pretty reasonable--Paul Konerko, the man that helped carry this team to its first World Championship in 88 years, will be re-joining our belov'ed Pale Hose with serious protection in the form of Jim Thome. I can't still smiling right now. This is so freaking huge. And...for what it's worth...if Paulie re-signs with the Sox, he will have earned the title of my favorite current White Sox. Konerko jersey's in the stands on opening day.........YES!

November 30, 200520 yr $12M per, not half bad. though we did have to give him the 5th year. This is just awesome.
November 30, 200520 yr I'm really interested to hear the final numbers, ESPN Radio was reporting that the O's offer he turned down was more than both the Sox and the Angels... i think I saw 5/60 on the board
November 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 12:41 PM) I wish I had a radio with me. What did Levine say, if anything? said deal is worth as much as 5/65 and Angels and O's were willing to go 5/70, looks like Paulie gave a little discount
November 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(daa84 @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 12:40 PM) best of luck big frank Exactly. RIP Frank Thomas' White Sox career if not his baseball career.
November 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 12:41 PM) 5 years, said it can get to almost 65 million, im sure there are incentives.... Who said that..?
November 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) Bruuuuuceeeeeeee. He was literaly on 30 seconds ago. Gotcha. Thanks.
November 30, 200520 yr sweet! Paulie and Thome is the top combo in the AL probably, with Manny leaving Boston, unless he goes to the Angels with Vlad.
November 30, 200520 yr That's to you Los, your post was up a good 5 minutes before anything on ESPN Radio
November 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(Soxfest @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 12:44 PM) Take Bruce Levine with a grain of salt. It's not just Bruce.
November 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 01:43 PM) I have a huge smile on my face right now. ^^^ This has the potential to be a GREAT day. PK now IU tonight
November 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(Soxfest @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) Take Bruce Levine with a grain of salt. Why would he make that up?
November 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 12:31 PM) I know I saw it around here somewhere..... and beleive me, if Soxtalk says it, I know its true. No offense to whomever said it, but it's BS. He went straight to and from the airport.
November 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 12:44 PM) This made my f***in day. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ f***in ay'!!!!!!!!! This is just awesome. I was really, really expecting Paulie to be headed elsewhere and when I saw this, I just thought of that million-dollar smile of his and how he has instantly become the player-face of this organization. WELCOME BACK PAULIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm beyond stoked. Absolutely beside myself.
November 30, 200520 yr Can't wait for an official announcement, will they have a press conference with Paulie even though he is re-signing?

November 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) Why would he make that up? Levine has been wrong alot more than right, If he is right well a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes.
