December 21, 201213 yr And then there was one -- Paulie, the last connection to 2005. Game Two of the ALCS was the only post-season game I was fortunate to attend. That game was the key to the post-season run -- and A.J. outthinking Josh Paul, Doug Eddings and everybody else was key to winning that game. Thanks for the memories A.J. wish you the best -- except for those six games every year.
December 21, 201213 yr Gotta love em - gonna miss him Now... Flowers... Please break the f*** out like an uncaged beast
December 21, 201213 yr QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Dec 20, 2012 -> 07:49 PM) Anyone got the video of that HR? Stupid ass MLB and their asinine video strategy. Here you go
December 21, 201213 yr Well, I'll have to revise my Favorite current player. AJ just might be my new favorite White Sox player ever. Sorry Little Louie.
December 21, 201213 yr AJ's "Move b****" YTMND video. EDIT: The swear filter applies to hyperlinks too. You'll have to edit the link with the "b" word. Edited December 21, 201213 yr by BigSqwert
December 21, 201213 yr As much as I hate to see A.J. not retire in a Sox uniform, I feel like this is the best move for the Sox. Thanks, for 2005 A.J. and some of the most memorable games I've ever attended in my life. I'll never forget Game 2 of the ALCS, and that sucker punch you took from Barrett. Really created some great memories with my dad. Good luck in Texas and keep driving those Halo fans crazy.
December 21, 201213 yr Should go down as one of the best Sox of all time. Brought it 162 games a year regardless of the team around hi One of KWs best pickups. Ill miss him.

December 21, 201213 yr What a 180 for me -- I used to absolutely hate AJ when he was with the Twins. Now I hate to see him go. I look forward to the salute coming his way when the Rangers visit Chicago next season. Here's hoping Tyler Flowers makes it even easier to say so long.
December 21, 201213 yr Bah, this is just sinking in even though I knew it was coming. Too bad. Thanks, AJ!
December 21, 201213 yr QUOTE (scenario @ Dec 21, 2012 -> 01:40 AM) AJ had the best commercials. The Buehrle part at the end of that is amazing.
December 21, 201213 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 20, 2012 -> 06:09 PM) I was at the bar in a beer garden in college with two buddies. That was an epic game. In celebration, I stuck both fists up into a rotating ceiling fan when he hit that HR.

December 21, 201213 yr I appreciate what AJ did for us and his time here, but it was time to move on. Wish the best to AJ
December 21, 201213 yr It was certainly time to turn the page; however, AJ was our first serviceable catcher at the dish and in the field since forever. He was an instrumental player in our successes in 2005 through last year. I'll never have a bad thing to say about him for all he did for this franchise.
December 21, 201213 yr @gordonbeckham As I'm sure everybody has heard, we are going to miss AJ. He has been such a great friend to me over the last 3.5 yrs. One great Southsider.
December 21, 201213 yr I still don't understand when people say its time to move on from him. Coming off a great year nd we have no replacement to feel confident in. Yeah, great time to move on.

Coming off a great year nd we have no replacement to feel confident in. Yeah, great time to move on. You don't have confidence in the replacement. The organization obviously does.

Coming off a great year nd we have no replacement to feel confident in. Yeah, great time to move on. A career year for a catcher at age 35 is not something that will be repeated. This is a great time to move on.

December 21, 201213 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 21, 2012 -> 10:01 AM) If you traded him for something, but we got nothing. He doesn't have repeat last year either. Which also doesn't mean you have to bring him back
