September 21, 201411 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 21, 2014 -> 11:38 AM) As this season comes to an end, the more I wish he would have retired last year. With this injury and everything else, he is going out with a whimper, can't even get on the field I kinda feel like it went ok. Who knows, maybe he helped Abreu with his defense. There's a week left. Hopefully he can play next weekend, and get the love and then he'll be gone.
September 21, 201411 yr QUOTE (OsweGo-Go Sox @ Sep 21, 2014 -> 10:50 AM) I'm a bit miffed to be missing "Paul Konerko Day" as I have tickets for the finale on Sunday, but oh well. I can just catch it on TV then pay tribute on the day that actually makes sense. It was actually a really good call to have it on Saturday night instead of Sunday. Packers @ Bears, 12:00.

I'm aware of the reasons for it, but as a person who 1) has had tickets to the finale since February and 2) doesn't give a s*** about football, it is a bit annoying.

Well you said re: Sunday "on the day that actually makes sense" so it didn't seem that you were aware of the reason for it.
September 22, 201411 yr Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 2m #WhiteSox guests for Paul Konerko Day on Sat.: Brian Anderson, Joe Crede, Ross Gload, Scott Podsednik, Cliff Politte, Jim Thome (1/2)
September 22, 201411 yr Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 1m #WhiteSox guests for Paul Konerko Day: Chris Getz, Mark Kotsay, Sean Lowe (2/2).
September 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 22, 2014 -> 04:35 PM) Pulling out all the stops, I see. Even Sean Lowe. Dude. Brian f***ing Anderson.
September 22, 201411 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 22, 2014 -> 03:43 PM) Does the PK Day on Saturday mean he won't be playing on Sunday? This is what I'm dreading.
September 22, 201411 yr Would be surprised if he didn't play in finale. Maybe Paulie doesn't want final game of season to take away from his teammates and thus they are doing day before?

Maybe Paulie doesn't want final game of season to take away from his teammates and thus they are doing day before? I thought Robin said he'd play him in all four vs. KC. Maybe it'll all depend on how he does Saturday night and who KC is pitching Sunday. Has Robin commented yet? If Sunday's game doesn't mean anything for KC, Saturday's game probably is the right call.

September 22, 201411 yr I assume as a website we're boycotting Saturday's game because of Mark Kotsay?

I bet like they did last year where he starts and gets one AB and comes off of the field after he takes the field in the 2nd inning to a standing ovation.

He did that last year because he was injured, it wasn't necessarily for the ovation. If he plays Sunday, pray he gets a hit, then pull him off - if he doesn't want to play the whole game.

September 25, 201411 yr Wow, that video is really well done. He really was a special player at a special time for the Chicago White Sox.
September 25, 201411 yr Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan 6m Konerko available tonight, expects to play Fri, Sat and Sun.
September 25, 201411 yr Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan 8m Konerko expects to play most of Sunday's game, if not all of it. "I mean, why not?" he said. Dan Hayes @CSNHayes 6m Paul Konerko said he might exit Sunday's game if he went deep in 2nd AB but probably would stay in if he hit a weak dribbler to mound.
