August 23, 201312 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 11:55 AM) Aren't you the guy who refers to some posters as "mouth breathers" because they don't like Alex Rios? Ironic considering this post. Admittedly, my feelings for AJ are very Greg-esque.
August 23, 201312 yr AJ deserves a long standing ovation. He's my favorite Sox player ever though certainly not the best. But, Rios? Probably a smattering of polite applause and that's about it. He never got much more than that when he was here. He simply wasn't all that likeable or approachable, certainly not much of a fan favorite kinda guy.

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 05:20 PM) I don't understand why anyone in attendance would not give him a standing O. QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 05:34 PM) It will be a great reception for AJ -- look forward to watching it. QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 05:41 PM) +1. He was a model white Sox player for us in his time here. Great posts. Cheer long and hard for AJP, perhaps the biggest big-stage performer in Sox history, or one of them.
August 23, 201312 yr QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 01:42 PM) I will give Alex Rios a slow golf clap tonight. In honor of Alex Rios return I will pay half attention to the game and be fairly disinterested when watching.

August 23, 201312 yr QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 09:56 AM) LOL. Great point. Not if Sale goes 7 or 8 which is almost a lock. Anyone think AJP is on the bench tonight? Most managers know to have as few LHB in there against Sale as possible. It's very possible Soto plays tonight.

August 23, 201312 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 02:45 PM) I'm going to drink beer and watch part of the game maybe and whatever. This sounds fairly Riosian.
