No f***ing contest, my friend.

 

 

(the 2nd was off Borowski)

 

Lol. I can't believe you have that. And I don't know why I thought that second one was off Wood. Nice.

Huh, I just assumed all REAL Sox fans had that video handy.

Better bat-flip? AJ's or PK's after that second bomb off Wood in '02?

No offense to PK14...but TCQ had one hell of a bat flip.

No f***ing contest, my friend. Keep in mind Konerko was hit in the head by a pitch earlier in the game, I just assume he hit the 2nd while suffering from a severe concussion.

That homer comes up every year, and every year I remember the best avatar in Soxtalk history. It's of that homer/pose with a subtitle saying "Konerkowned".

In recent White Sox history, nobody had a better bat flip than Tadahito Iguchi.

I dunno, I love the legit TCQ bat flip. Iguchi's has some braggadocio, TCQ's flip had that plus it was so emphatic. He'd launch that bat.

Agree to disagree, but you're wrong.

One-time high-ranking Chicago White Sox executive David Wilder today pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges that he solicited hundreds of thousands of dollars in kickbacks from impoverished Latin American prospects hoping to make it in the Major Leagues.

PK's stance is SO different these days. That old one looks weird.

He's basically just more closed with the front foot, probably giving him a hand at driving the ball better to RF.

So, you are telling me that twice in his career Konerko has been hit in the head with a pitch, only to come back and hit a HR later in the same game? He's just a badass.

I'm not one to get into name calling and I have never met Dave Wilder nor have I heard much about him. That said, unless he is being set up and taking the fall for someone else, in my book he is one "scumbag" of a human being. How far has he set the White Sox organization back with this? He has at least drug the reputation of the White Sox organization through the mud.

We share the same sentiments.

I'm with Balta, mancrush on 08 Carlos Quentin and Carlos Quentin bat flip.

Tad bat flip against the Red Sox in Game 2 of the ALDS was epic. Curveball from David Wells.

He changes his stance on a weekly basis.

I'm gettin real hungry for baseball.

I was at Fatty's in DeKalb senior year of college... it was summer so the town was at like 15% of capacity. A buddy and I arranged a softball game that afternoon, and the whole group went to Fatty's after that "game" to watch the "game". This is one of my all-time favorite White Sox moments.

So what is Cowley's new job at Suntimes?

Not sure, but I liked his article yesterday.

Ozzie is on with Ranger, and it sounds like Ozzie has had a change of heart about the lineup. He originally said Dunn would bat third, but now he's saying it's Rios--which is perfect to me.

 

This is what he just said the lineup will be if all goes well:

 

Pierre

Beckham

Rios

Dunn

Konerko

Quentin

Pierzynski

Ramirez

Morel or Teahen (but we all know it's Morel)

 

Dislike.

I thought he was their beat writer now? That was my interpretation a few months ago.

Agreed.
