I never told you, I'm glad to see Jose Valentin getting represented around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 20, 2006 -> 08:51 PM) That right there is why he gets a free pass, the occasional pointless blast into the left field stands is worth a lot in some people's minds. Its funny. He is Jose Valentin with better D. Just like Jose he swings every single time trying to hit the ball on the dan ryan. And like Jose people think he is clutch or whatever because he runs into one every so often. Jose had a similiar average and similiar mental approach at the plate. I hated Valentin when he was here, and I am not fond of his replacement that is the same guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 20, 2006 -> 08:57 PM) Or Thome... Jose the eptiome of the Greg Walker approach. Lift and Pull and swing for the fences every f***ing time you are up there. He was worthless. And people had this silly idea he was clutch based on one year and a few AB. Hitters under 240 are not clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Come on, get Garland the win. He has worked to hard to try and win for this team. He should have 19 wins by now. Do something useful offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Sep 20, 2006 -> 08:55 PM) LOL..that was a pretty rude comment...but oh well... the most misunderstood aspect of this site is that it is ez to hate on here but when we meet wearing the same gear at the park we love each other to death...strange but true... I have no ill will toward you, I do however think the "lack of Rowand" argument is a crock of s***. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire reason for picking up a lefty power AB was to neutralize a righty with a good slider. Paulie now pulls a slider that started way. Who was the genius the other day that was out here telling us all that Konerko hits to all fields. Example of A on why that theory is dead wrong.

I thought he was going to be a great player....but shockingly, he couldn't contribute as well in 2005 as he could in 2004. I think people forget that he was clearly our worst player down the stretch and in the postseason. Edited September 21, 2006 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
