July 11, 201015 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 06:59 PM) I just hope he doesn't do the home run contest now too... This.
July 11, 201015 yr Deservedly so, even though it should have been a no brainer to begin with (seriously, David Ortiz!? Someone tell Giardi that the reserve DH doesn't actually have to be a DH).
July 11, 201015 yr Glad for Konerko, but Youkilis actually has a better case. Rios was terrible oversight as he's been the best all-around CF in the American Leauge.
July 11, 201015 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 08:33 PM) Starter? Obviously Cabrera deserves it more. Totally.
July 11, 201015 yr Can someone find out when his ASG jersey will be on sale? Specifically the BP one, though I'm gonna probably get the BP & actual game jersey, neither are on MLB.com's shop page..
July 11, 201015 yr I just hope he doesn't do the home run contest now too... I hope he IS in the home run contest to make it f***ing interesting. DIdn't you read the article somebody posted with stats that indicate performance does not dip after playing in the contest? Put Paulie in the HR contest!

But let us not forget what happened to Paulie last time he entered the derby. Not to mention the first half of the following season

Not to mention the first half of the following season That's what I call some damn good logic right there. Sure, the numbers say one thing, but last time PAULIE did it, he sucked for a whole year!!!!1 Edited July 11, 201015 yr by Felix
July 11, 201015 yr Some people take sports too seriously. I want to see Paulie in the all star contest, cause the contest exists and I want to see him hit in it. Who gives a f*** if there's some hex? The article said otherwise. Enjoy life! Dont worry. Be f***ing happy people!
July 11, 201015 yr Thanks Quin. Life is short to stress about every f***ing thing in sports. GO PAULIE!

Guys that participate in the Derby are ones that many times have played over their heads in the first half, so then of course they are likely to come back to earth a bit as the sample size increases. I guess I can buy that.
July 11, 201015 yr I'd love to see Paulie in the HR derby. Get that man some national attention! He deserves it.
July 11, 201015 yr Do we all think that this is the last year on the Southside for Paulie? Hawk and Stone keep saying this is a Gold Glove year for Konerko so I'm not sure if KW brings him back, probably a discussion for another thread.
