JUGGERNAUT Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 More importantly when the Tigers come to town I'll be targeting the seats behind the Tig's pen. Normally I try for the ones behind the Sox pen. Then I can heckle Maggs throughout the game. I do that to the players I want to win against the most. I will really miss Carlos in LF. He was a nice guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The greed really doesn't bother me because there are a ton of players like that, it's the way he left, he's a jackass and I hope he rots in Motown.

shawnhillegas Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 7, 2005 -> 02:41 PM) agreed. We could have one round of boos for all the greedy a$$holes like Hermanson who switched teams for more money. you cant quote ayn rand in you sig and then complain about people taking advantage of their most economically beneficial opportunity, which happens to be making the most money possible.

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Booing Maggs is a must. Of course it will be overkill considered the Tiger fans will already be totally disappointed with him and his lackluster play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwill Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 i dont understand why anyone will boo him. Yes he did say some things about management, but the fact the matter is that he provided us with many great years of service. I would like to think that white sox fans would be appreciative of that fact adn applaud what he has done for our organization.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 (edited) We shouldn't boo the guy. We should all just stand up and turn our backs on him, silently. I think that would speak louder than any boos. Edited February 8, 2005 by YASNY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvjeremylv Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Great things? LMAO. I can name 0 great things that he did for the White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastime Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I would just do what Yasny suggested - just sit there in silence. Hate is not the opposite of love - indifference is. I don't fault or blame the Sox at all for letting him go. The Sox weren't the ones playing "cloak and dagger" with his medical records - that was Maggs and his agent. Maggs ripping on the Sox was a classless and bitter thing to do - but he's not the first athlete to tear into his former team, and he certainly won't be the last. I appreciated what Maggs did for the Sox for 6 years, but he's the enemy now, so I want to beat him just as much as I want to beat every other Tiger player.

Believe me, this is not be being bitter after a player leaves, but..what exactly did he do for the Sox? I've watched many many many Sox games in the Magglio era, and is there 1 moment involving him that stands out in my mind? Honestly, the ONLY one that comes to mind is him colliding with Willie Harris last year. And thankfully that happened - otherwise, we might have done something stupid and mortaged our future to sign him to a Tiggerish contract.

JUGGERNAUT Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 I've changed my mind. I'll probably just shake my head. Regardless of who boo's around me. Putting this whole thing in perspective when I read the Maggs quote in the couch article about him waiting & hoping for the Sox to offer arbitration how can I fault this guy? How can I call him greedy? You need to consider what that quote means. Coming off a bad year arbitration means he's willing to play for the Sox at a 20-25% reduction in pay over last yr's salary. It's decided How can you call that greedy? Now if you choose to believe he's lying & he never intended to accept arbitration with the Sox then go ahead & call him greedy & boo him if you must but Maggs has never said or done anything in the past that would make us believe he was lying now.

soxhawks Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 i would have given him an ovation, but there is no need to rip the organization like that, i will definetly boo him at the most crowded sox-tigers game ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
