LosMediasBlancas Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 This morning on am 1000, they said that Konerko was asked about the Sox needing to acquire a bat. He said the Sox would rather blow the division or lose in the 1st round of the playoffs with what they have, than to add a bat. I didn't hear him say it, they didn't play a sound bite and I didn't find it in the paper. Anyone else hear or read this?? Please add or delete this if it's in another thread. If it is, sorry in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 So another Pauly comment that's probably been blown out of proportion or something. Well it really wouldn't suprise me if he ran off to the Mets this off-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I seriously don't blame him for saying what he did but I'm sure he'll get destroyed for saying this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RME JICO Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I hope he didn't say that. I know you want to have confidence in your team, but denial of your team's weaknesses is a formula for disaster. The fact is every team in the league could use another bat, just some teams need more bats than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Prediction: "This guy is supposed to be the team leader? All he ever does is open his mouth and say dumb s*** like this, I can't wait until he's gone this offseason so I dont have to hear this type of talk out of him anymore." -------------------------------- Funny how there's no soundbite on this, you're just relying on the people doing the show to correctly quote a guy that has continuously been taken out of context.

KevHead0881 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Wouldn't surprise me if this turned into a 10 page thread on how big an asshole Pauly is for --gasp-- liking his own team. Personally, if he thinks that we don't need a bat, he's wrong. But of course he's gonna stand by his teammates here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RibbieRubarb Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 (edited) I would like to SEE this quote then judge a man on hearsay. I'm sure we all agree on that... Don't we?? Edited August 18, 2005 by RibbieRubarb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 PK was sticking up for his team, trying to be the team leader. The whole Griffey Jr. thing really got out of hand, and you're foolish to think these players weren't caught up in it also. As much as I disagree with what PK said, I totally respect him for saying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Apparently this is the quote.. QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 11:34 PM) Konerko: "we're going to go down swinging with the guys we have" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 19, 2005 -> 12:38 AM) I'm thinking Red Sox. There was an article in the Boston Herald when the White Sox were in town a couple of days ago, where Paulie was saying he didn't think he could handle living in Boston permanently, like he can now with Chicago. Kalapse brought up a good team in the O's though as well. There'll be a market for Paulie this off-season, don't you worry about that.

LosMediasBlancas Posted August 18, 2005 Author Share Posted August 18, 2005 Take it easy people. As I wrote, it came from the mouth of Tom Schaer or Schaerer who does the updates for them at around 6:45 this morning on ESPN radio 1000. I haven't found the quote myself. I was just wondering if anyone found it, or had heard the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxrd5 Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 Meh....sounds more like a rallying cry to me. This quote doesn't bother me as much as some of the ones he's had in the past. Of course the 'vocal leader' will say things like this. Its the old "captain goes down with his ship; General never leaves his men behind" philosophy. There is no way he actually believes what he said, as I'm sure he would love to hit behind a Griffey or something, but the writing is on the wall. Rally with what you have, because the market is not open to make any large acquisition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I don't like the "we're going down..." and would have much rather heard.. "we'll turn it around.... " Paul you bastard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted August 18, 2005 Share Posted August 18, 2005 I'll fix PK's quote for him to make it more truthful. We're going to go down (no s***) swinging (for homers) with the guys (and complete lack of offense/talent) we have (in the first round).

"we'll turn it around.... " Paul you bastard. C'mon you know how negative Paulie is all the time. That is one of the reasons him as our spokesperson never has sat well with me. It's pretty obvious right now the team has a similar attitude about themselves that we are sharing on this board. (well the majority of us at least) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also had Mark Buehrle quotes after the game where he said the guys are just not having fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team has been playing way too tight, and playing not to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
