SoxPhan7 Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 In todays tribune Mr. Boffo makes a remark about Konerko. It is a pretty funny comic, that i needed to read after todays game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 No wonder I've avoided the funny pages for nearly 10 years. First, it's poorly written. Especially the second bubble. Second, the punch line--"pitcher will ground out to third for you." WTF. I suppose if we were playing in the national league, or a groundout to third was actually guaranteed for a pitcher, it may have been funnier. It would have made sense if he guaranteed Uribe striking out on a slider low/away. That's about a given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox It To Em Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Guess the writer wasn't aware that pitchers don't bat in the American League. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyWhiteSox Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Read it twice. Surprisingly, I still don't get it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxPhan7 Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 I guess you either get mr boffo or you dont. Mr boffo is a nationally syndicated cartoon and konerko was just a generic name he came up with. I dont think it was supposed to actually represent paul konerko, it was just interesting that of all the baseball names the writer came up with he picked konerko.
