KevHead0881 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 (edited) When Konerko comes out and directly says that Royce Clayton is a better player than Juan Uribe, then I think we should be concerned. But, who the hell knows how either feels about the other. The one thing I do know is that the comment that Konerko made couldn't be more overblown. If I were there to witness the interview, I'm sure this exact comment would've flown right over my head. I'm sure he said a whole bunch of things during that same interview that, if you try hard enough, you could interpret them in a negative way. Of course we don't know how Uribe feels about this comment. But I think there's a good chance that he's either saw nothing of it, or doesn't know it was said all together. This is simply something that this board decided to blow way out of preportion. Edited June 17, 2005 by KevHead0881 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHammer Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 04:40 PM) What did you think when Konerko said Uribe shouldn't have deked Derrek Lee? I disagreed with him, I don't mind seeing some good gamesmanship. But in the end that wasn't a big deal either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Hopefully PK doesn't become a GM. He would absolutely ruin a team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be truthful I didn't even know it happened until I read the original post in this thread and from that I came to the conclusion about it.

Yeah, you would have to feel sorry for whatever team he took over....if he was the gm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 17, 2005 -> 03:42 PM) When someone says, "_____ is the best at something," that means he is better than everyone else. I don't care if Konerko didn't say that word for word that that Clayton is better than Uribe, he said it. You don't say that someone is better than your teammate, you just keep your mouth shut. It doesn't even matter if it's true. So if we insert Frank Thomas there and this whole team instead of an individual player, like Frank said last week, why does everyone jump to Franks defense? That is the part that makes no sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
