greg775 Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Why oh why? You tell me. Foulke shuts us down completely and gets the save. Singleton gets the hits. Somebody needs to keep track of all the former Sox who kick out ass and gain revenge. Why couldn't we plate two in the ninth off Foulke and win? Cause we are the Sox.

Chisoxfn Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Foulke did throw a ton of meatballs to Konerko. That being said Konerko looked the best he has all year tonight at the plate, but that at bat in the ninth was tough cause Foulke was throwing all meatballs.

Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 konerko looked like s*** all nite and face it we just got foulked .......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 His double was absolutely perfect mechanically and he ripped a fastball for a single opposite field. 2-3 off of Zito, hitting them all hard is a good night in my books and the way he did it made it look oh so much better. In the ninth he was burned because he kept expecting a changeup so he was trying to stay back instead of crushing those fastballs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Zito was throwing 88 though, its not a huge difference between 88 and 90. Its not like Foulke has a ton of movement at 90 and both pitches look much faster because of the offspeed stuff they feature (Zito - Curve; Foulke - Change) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've been a fan as long as me the list is long. I always knew Foulke would be a stud closer for the A's. I just hoped Koch would be the same for us. Hopefullly he will be. Singleton was ripped a new one on every Sox board I visited. I always liked the guy. You know in their hearts both guys loved it last nite.

southsider2k5 Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 That kind of stuff happens all of the time. Players seem to love to face their former teams, if for no other reason than to try to prove a point. Think of Sandy against the Indians.

Steff Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Guys.. it seems that Paul's hip condition is a LOT worse than is being let on. Looks like it's progressing quickly and he is in a constant state of pain with the intensity coming and going. This is completely speculation on my part.. but once it gets to the point of "daily constant pain" and the soaking, heat, and rubdowns aren't doing any good.. it's not long after that where it becomes unbearable to even live daily life. I hope that the news is a gross imbelishment.. but I dunno. He was very "gingerly" last night. Almost fighting the urge to baby it. I think his low profile, quietness, engagement, and pretty much halt of "goofing around" is because he knows that the clock is ticking. I hope I'm wrong. He's way too young for this to happen to.

Jim Fainter Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 I didn't see the fifth inning triple that Singleton hit over Rowand's head. Did he really tattoo it, or was it catchable? That was the key hit of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the key hit of the game. Rowand misplayed it into a triple. It was over his head and it bounced off the track then the wall and bounced back over his head towards the IF. He got caught in between of trying to catch it, and trying to play it off of the wall. It should have been only a 2B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was afraid of something like this. He's a real good hitter when he's on. I like his swing. Is this arthritis? What is is it? Perhaps it's fixable. Hope so because PK should have a long and productive career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know when Paul got diagnosed. And the only thing to do is surgery.. but Bo was never the same after his so I doubt Paul would come back from it.

elrockinMT Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 Is this talk of a hip condition just speculation or is it something that was reported? Has Paulie ever said anything? The only injury I am aware of is the fact PK had a cracked or broken bone in his foot last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 My question is why did we give this guy a 3 year contract with a degenerative hip condition? Unless the insurance money is easily recoverable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted April 30, 2003 Share Posted April 30, 2003 My question is why did we give this guy a 3 year contract with a degenerative hip condition? Unless the insurance money is easily recoverable? I don't know the levels of intensity, but I know that Albert played one day with slight pain and then the next he could barely move. I'm assuming the condition and how far along it is has a lot to do with the abilities of a person. Could have been that Paul was fine and the hip looked good when they did the physical? Or maybe the DR is a Cubs fan and he sub'd a pic of someone elses hip to make it appear Paul was healthy.. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
