sox-r-us Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Dec 9, 2006 -> 08:09 AM) He wasn't getting at that, at all. You asked if anyone missed Olivo, and I agree with Jordan when he says Miggy would make a great backup C right now. It doesnt mean we didnt win the deal. Kenny cleaned up on that deal...

aboz56 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Definitely one of my favorite Sox players over the past years, Big Game Freddy is how I'll remember the guy. I think Fred got somewhat of a raw deal by some fans last season, as he pitched his ass off for us in 2005 and then also had to come back early for 2006 for the WBC. Nonetheless, I'll always root for Freddy and remember his game 4 masterpiece. Good luck in Philly Freddy and here's to a great 2007 campaign for you.

bjm676 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Agree, Game 4 was special and fun to watch. Thanks for the memories Freddy. Now enjoy your time in Philly and relive the memories with Aaron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 (edited) I loved Freddy in our rotation....dude was a nails pitcher. He took the ball every day, was as durable as teflon, and after it appeared he lost his velocity came back with another secondary pitch that allowed him to regain command. His game 4 WS performance was a masterpiece and his name will live forever in White Sox history. Much luck to big Freddy in Philly and I am totally rooting for him to kick ass for the Phillies this year. Muchas gracias senor Garcia.

LosMediasBlancas Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Amen. Thanks for creating this thread. Fans always complain that players aren't loyal and only follow the $$. I remember how geeked Sox fans were when we got Freddy. Nice to see Sox fans remaining loyal. Gracias Freddy, buena suerte!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 QUOTE(Drew @ Dec 8, 2006 -> 09:15 PM) I was there for his four-outs-from perfect game. Easy to admire, easy to hate on, but there was no '05 without Sweaty Freddy. And I was literally right there with u . I love the fact that Freddie added the splitfinger and seemed to master it pretty quickly. I wanted him to stay just to see if his fastball came back and even if it didnt to see how he would pitch with the splitty. If Philly has a good season I expect 16-20 wins from Freddie. I still content that any one of our starters are capable of being the ace of a lot of staffs. Thanks for being a major part of the World Series victory and memories that will last a lifetime( with the help of DVD's). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFanForever Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I still remember being so excited when I was at a bar with a bunch of friends watching his first performace for us against the Twins. I was a fan from the day he got here. Too bad he couldn't find his fastball last year. Good luck Freddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes Freddy you lived up to your expectations, especially in 2005, no ring without you big guy!!! Good luck in Philly and you never know, maybe we will see you in the World Series in 2007?!?

southsider2k5 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Thanks for the memories Freddy The thing that sucks is that the guy is primed for a big 07, and we'll never hear the end about how stupid this trade was, no matter if it actually was stupid or not.

WCSox Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Dec 8, 2006 -> 10:36 PM) He was one of KW's better acquisitions, and I wish him all the best in Philly. Absolutely. He was a great big-game pitcher during his tenure in Chi-town. He also did as good as job as could be expected in making adjustments after his sudden loss in velocity this year.

Texsox Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Ahh, the Halcion® days when we thought we had a rotation to rival the Braves of the 1990s. Mark, Freddy, Jon, Jose, and ol' what's his name were going to be around for years and years making us a perennial WS favorite. Best of luck to you Freddy. I bet you will be back.

If Buerhle goes to St. Louis or wherever else. I actually wouldn't be surprised if KW made a pitch to try to get him back next offseason. And why not?!? He's a proven winner.

As it is, I hope we see him and beat him 1-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
