G&T Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I take Pods because really, of all the players, off all the pitchers, who would have thought that. I know Lidge was having a bad postseason but Pods isn't Pujols. Plus, I'm a small guy. We smaller guys only dream of hitting home runs like that. Konerko is supposed to hit those homers.

Balta1701 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 As much as I want to say PK, I have to give this one to Podsednik. The reactions of both me and everyone I saw on video just did it all. A collective "No Way" from every single Sox fan watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's what the guy from Boston threw then you are correct. Edited March 1, 2006 by G&T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 07:24 PM) Hehe that's the best part. In reality, they are 2 of the 3 biggest home runs in team history (along with Blum's) and helped us win the World Series, so this is a silly argument. Fun times though, I never thought I'd be able to start a poll like this. I was at the game and it was basically dream like. I honestly couldn't tell you which one meant more to me cause well they both won the game for us. I also have heard that game 2 was the loudest park anyone has ever been to but I couldn't tell you as I couldn't even hear the darn crowd after either homer cause I was just going nuts and was basically in my own world at that time, pure bliss.

I wish for that night The Cell would have been domed, it might have been the loudest damn place in the history of sports that night if the noise had nowhere to go.

SnB Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 PK's homerun will be probably the most memorable home run/moment of the entire playoffs. I think alot of it has to do with the fact that it was the first pitch right after a long commercial break. It was the exact image that was going through all of our wishful heads during that break over and over and over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonik22 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 06:40 PM) For whatever reason, I could just see Konerko's home run coming. Pod's took by by total surprise. Never in a million years could I have seen that one coming. i had the same feeling when paulie came up. I felt that somehow he would do something amazing. I can barely type about this it just makes me so happy inside. When he hit that ball i had an out of body experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Paulie's hit was downright amazing, but I thought we had a chance to get back in it with him at the plate. With Pods, it was completely unexpected, so I'll give Pods the vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spod=Ratings Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Konerko for me. I was there and i am going by what suprised me most. It was amazing i went crazy and everyone did.All with two outs, just talking about it gives me chills. I can't wait for the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I'll just c'n'p my response in a different thread: The Paul Konerko seventh-inning Grand Slam in Game Two of the 2005 World Series will go down as my favorite moment in White Sox history. Actually in attendance, the place was just waiting to explode, and, at that very moment, Paulie connects on a first-ball fastball. Being able to enjoy that expierence with my old man, someone who has lived and died with this ballclub, someone who passed his passion for his White Sox on to his oldest son, and someone who needed to break out of an in-person post-season losing streak with his belov'ed Sox, is just indescribable. We were just saying, "hey, how about Paulie comes through and hits a grand frickin' slam," and mid-sentence, Paulie connects. The ball kept carrying, carrying, carrying...the outfielder went back, back, back...and even when that ball landed in the left-field stands, it took a couple moments to realize what exactly just happened. We just looked each other and lost our minds; it was at that very moment that I knew that team was destined to win, not just for themselves, not just for the critcs, but, for all the fans that have been waiting their entire lives for this best-of-seven. An image frozen in time, an absolute flash-bulb memory, something I'll never forget for as long as I live...seeing our Paulie hit a go-ahead Grand Slam in the World Series with my old man on the Southside of Chicago, rocking out to the "Go Go White Sox" montage and AC/DC's Thunderstuck moments later... I just got the chills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandy125 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I just gotta say Konerko's. When he hit that with 2 outs in the bottom of the 7th, it was a "Heck YEAH!" reaction. When Pods hit his, I was more in a kind of fall back in utter disbelief reaction. It took a little bit longer for that one to sink in than Konerko's.

witesoxfan Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 05:29 PM) Paul for me no question. Pods was amazing but it was more a relief after blowing the game. Paulie's was ridiculous. I don't even know what I did when it happened, I can't remember. Something about jumping all over random people, etc. I think I remember what I did. My hands still hurt to the day. It was also something like wite: OMFG NUKE YOU f***IN CALLED THAT s*** wite: NO f***IN WAY Or something to the extent I remember quite well that it was one of those things you almost expected, but even when it happened, you couldn't believe it. It was just amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
