RME JICO Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Doubtful for Saturday from MLB.com: "It's funny how things work out," added Konerko, who is day-to-day, but doubtful for Saturday, according to Guillen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I wouldn't mind Konerko sitting out another day or two. He's been garbage recently, completely in his homer-or-bust mode. And Gload deserves a reward for his heroics yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to sound bad...but Konerko last nite in the 9th would have hit a double play... Gload in Konerko's spot for a few games isn't a bad thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadChiSoxFanOptimist Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Anyone think there would be a market for Paulie -- perhaps this winter? Aside from his leadership/character and some recent adroit defensive plays, I think that Paul exemplifies what needs to change about this team: He's a slow-footed, HR-focused and rally-killer with a $60 million contract. It hurts to be so negative about such a great guy without whom we'd not be World Champs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 How's Timo doing down in AAA Memphis now a days? Maybe we can give him a shot a firstbase, he did well there last year, he's much faster than Konerko, ULTRA CLUTCH unlike Konerko and he doesn't hit any HRs so we won't be stuck with the burden of a 1B who hits HRs.

Exxxxxxxxxxxxcuuuuuuuuuussssssseeee meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

It hurts to be so negative about such a great guy without whom we'd not be World Champs. If we're making a trade out of our 3-4-5, I'd rather it be Dye for a few reasons. The top is that Konerko has been with the organization and means more to the fans, plus RF is a position where you can try to insert a guy with some speed, which could help out the lineup.

He IS the chicago white sox. he's a great guy, a great captain and a great player. yeah he's not fast - big deal. how many hr did he have last year? how many rbi? how many games did he win for us last year? i hate that ANY TIME a player on this team goes into a slump people start calling for his neck. paulie's even batting .300 this year and people are b****ing... i dont get it.

DrunkBomber Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 If we are talking about upgrading at certain positions and possible trades 1st base and right field are near the bottem of my list with 3rd and catcher. I would like to see the other outfield positions or ss improved first, not to mention pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Pasqua's Rec Specs Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I hope pauly takes a few days off. Hes been terrible lately. Gload add a lot of flexibility to our lineup and every time hes in there he makes something happen to help the team. Our two victories thes last few weeks, Gload has had a hand in both.

Paulie has been slow, notoriously streaky, and has had the tendency to hit into double plays ever since he's been in a Sox uniform. He also has the tendency to hit game-winning jacks in the post-season. I'll take the good with the bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWhiteSoxinNJ Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Paul Konerko - First Baseman Jul. 29 - 8:49 pm et Paul Konerko sat out Saturday's game with a bruised shin sustained in Friday's win. Ross Gload replaced him at first base. Konerko believes he'll play Sunday. "I think I'll be good tomorrow," he said. "I could hit today. I just took some flips. I will be ready to pinch-hit.
