July 29, 200619 yr Doubtful for Saturday from MLB.com: "It's funny how things work out," added Konerko, who is day-to-day, but doubtful for Saturday, according to Guillen.
July 29, 200619 yr I wouldn't mind Konerko sitting out another day or two. He's been garbage recently, completely in his homer-or-bust mode. And Gload deserves a reward for his heroics yesterday.

And Gload deserves a reward for his heroics yesterday. Not to sound bad...but Konerko last nite in the 9th would have hit a double play... Gload in Konerko's spot for a few games isn't a bad thing
July 29, 200619 yr Anyone think there would be a market for Paulie -- perhaps this winter? Aside from his leadership/character and some recent adroit defensive plays, I think that Paul exemplifies what needs to change about this team: He's a slow-footed, HR-focused and rally-killer with a $60 million contract. It hurts to be so negative about such a great guy without whom we'd not be World Champs.

July 29, 200619 yr How's Timo doing down in AAA Memphis now a days? Maybe we can give him a shot a firstbase, he did well there last year, he's much faster than Konerko, ULTRA CLUTCH unlike Konerko and he doesn't hit any HRs so we won't be stuck with the burden of a 1B who hits HRs.

I was merely evaluatiing what I believe is holding this team back -- lack of speed and rally-killing double plays -- thinking about how to fix it. BTW, hope there are no typos here -- it's friggin dark in this damn closet. Rock, can I come out now?

It hurts to be so negative about such a great guy without whom we'd not be World Champs. If we're making a trade out of our 3-4-5, I'd rather it be Dye for a few reasons. The top is that Konerko has been with the organization and means more to the fans, plus RF is a position where you can try to insert a guy with some speed, which could help out the lineup.

He IS the chicago white sox. he's a great guy, a great captain and a great player. yeah he's not fast - big deal. how many hr did he have last year? how many rbi? how many games did he win for us last year? i hate that ANY TIME a player on this team goes into a slump people start calling for his neck. paulie's even batting .300 this year and people are b****ing... i dont get it.
July 29, 200619 yr If we are talking about upgrading at certain positions and possible trades 1st base and right field are near the bottem of my list with 3rd and catcher. I would like to see the other outfield positions or ss improved first, not to mention pitching.

July 29, 200619 yr I hope pauly takes a few days off. Hes been terrible lately. Gload add a lot of flexibility to our lineup and every time hes in there he makes something happen to help the team. Our two victories thes last few weeks, Gload has had a hand in both. Couple sac bunts against texas and ofcourse last night

Paulie has been slow, notoriously streaky, and has had the tendency to hit into double plays ever since he's been in a Sox uniform. He also has the tendency to hit game-winning jacks in the post-season. I'll take the good with the bad.

July 29, 200619 yr your going way 2 overboard on this..... you suggested something rather dumb and a poster called you out for it. Everyone at some point suggests something dumb especially when it comes to baseball... it wasnt anything personel.

July 30, 200619 yr Paul Konerko - First Baseman Jul. 29 - 8:49 pm et Paul Konerko sat out Saturday's game with a bruised shin sustained in Friday's win. Ross Gload replaced him at first base. Konerko believes he'll play Sunday. "I think I'll be good tomorrow," he said. "I could hit today. I just took some flips. I will be ready to pinch-hit.
