YASNY Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Good read here folks. Absolut Cintron But one heroic swoosh of the bat later, he was the most popular guy on the South Side of Chicago. And as he rounded the bases, as shrieks and tears and fireworks erupted all around him, Alex Cintron told himself one thing: He was now, officially, a member of the White Sox. "That's exactly what I was thinking: I'm finally part of the White Sox team," said Cintron, who did hit three pinch homers (and two game-enders) in Arizona last year. "When you come through with a big hit like that, that's what you think. I did this last year with the Diamondbacks, but this was different. To come out and hit a home run in a big moment like that, against a team like the Tigers, was a great feeling." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 This is his chance to be a fixture in our lineup right here. He may play again tomorrow, and if he hits well again, the calls are going to start coming in for him to start over Uribe more often. Needs to make sure he doesn't give up any errors with his defense though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he's amazing. People are so damn fickle. Everyone was on ledges about the Sox for the past couple weeks and until the 8th inning. And now they don't even remember any of that.
