Milkman delivers Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 03:27 PM) Yeah, Willie Harris? c'mon guys. I'm calling it now by the way, Aaron Rowand will be number one, which is a crime. I will bet you any amount of money that he is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 21, 2008 -> 09:37 PM) Willie has a career high 10 homers this year. Only 17 in his career I believe.

jackie hayes Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 QUOTE (th0mas35 @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 03:24 PM) Having Harris be this high on the list is a joke. Agreed. He should be much higher. Below Uribe, but still, what a rip off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonik22 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Willie Harris must read the board, cuz he f***ed the cubs up today! First career slam, and 2-run homer! Pimpin all day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Yeah Quentin could be on the list with his MVP season. But OC and Swish. I recognize the list is for favorite players. I can't see how anybody could have fallen for them this quickly. Carlos I could see. Somebody might just love what he's done so much he's made their all time favorite list. He wouldn't make mine yet, though I respect what he's done for sure. It's a subjective list, but how could anybody fall for Swish and/or OC this quickly??

earthshiner Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Willie Harris is quite possibly my favorite active player. I have no reason why but I have just always been a fan of his. But how in the hell does he have 12 homers this year? Is the NL really that bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Willie came up, he was thought to have more pop than he showed with the Sox. More line drive/gap-type power than hr power, but still, something. Not that I'd expect 12 homers, but it's not as surprising as it'd be for Joey Gathright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCSox Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 11:59 AM) Willie Harris wouldn't be in my top 50 favorite players, but I could see the attraction. JMO, but I don't see how stealing a base and scoring a run in the WS makes one a Top 25 favorite of all time. Sadly, I get the feeling that Greg Luzinski, Ivan Calderon, Tim Raines, and Lance Johnson won't be represented in the Top 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sincerely appreciate what Willie and Geoff Blum did for the '05 Sox, but there's no way in hell that either of those guys crack the Top 50 on my all-time Sox list. JMO, and everybody is entitled to their own. Edited August 24, 2008 by WCSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 25 years ago, Jerry Dybzinski made a baserunning blunder that is still brought up from time to time even now. So, Willie Harris pinch hit for Garcia and eventually came around to score the most important run that any White Sox fan can remember. Yes, I can definitely understand how he made the favorites list.

greg775 Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) Yes, Dybber's baserunning blunder was critical. If we win that game, we beat Baltimore in game five with Hoyt. We quite possibly make the World Series. I don't know who we'd have played in the next round. I forget. But we had the team. That baserunning blunder was pivotal. That reminds me of Hoyt. I hope he's on the fan favorite list. He definitely should be. I think I forgot him. Edited August 25, 2008 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 That's wild. I'm surprised prior to our winning it all in 05 we didn't more crying from the Mariotti's of the world about us tanking that year. Don't you agree we were better than Baltimore and would have won Game Five in Comiskey had Dybber not screwed up on the basepaths?? No way LaMarr would have been clobbered in Game Five. It was ours.

knightni Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 We tanked in 1993 as well. Toronto owned McDowell because he was tipping his pitches and we lost in 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
