Steff Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Clu.. players don't live in that area. They just don't. And what happened to Albert..?? He played effectively for 5 years after he was diagnosed. As for surgery being career ending.. I don't see Bo playin anywhere but the golf course, do you ? Bo had surgery in 1991, and was playing as late as 1994 with the Angels. I don't remember why he retired, but it might have had something to do with his hip, don't know for sure. And is it a bad area to live in? Since I've never been there, I obviously don't know. Not bad. Just no privacy. They are bungalo's with zero lots. No yard, no nothing. And for 80+ days a year in the spring and summer your street and driveway are blocked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clujer420 Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 If you ever get an opportunity to meet Bo.. jump at it. Bo loves to talk allll about his bum hip. Let him tell you the stories of post surgery. Stories of the pain.. and the shots with 3 inch 4mm guage needles to try to stop the pain in his joints. Let him tell you about popping pain pills like they were candy. He loves to tell people that if you are injured, GET OFF THE FIELD. It's not worth it. Bo golfs 2 or 3 times a week in the spring & summer out here in Tinley Park and a couple times a month at Broken Arrow with Carlton. He limps when he walks and is still visibly in pain. I wouldn't say his surgery was a sucess. All of us cannot be fortunate enough to meet guys like Bo. He's a good man who came from nothing and became a big something to millions of kids. He was a guy that I idolized growing up, and I know I was 1 of many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 he loves to talk about his power bars too........ OMG.. you ain't kiddin! You should see them out there on the course. They have cart races. Every year.. never fails. I love when they play the tourney at Wedgewood because there are a lot of dips on that course and they always tip their carts!

The lots are only as big as they are. He did buy a double lot, but he's having a 4 car garage put up. Most of those lots don't accomidate a one car garage! It's just a strange place for a ball player to live. He could buy a 5000 sq foot gated house in Burr Ridge for what he's paying to have that place built. It just doesn't make a lot of sense.

I wanted to go out there for ST this year, but my work schedule didn't allow it. I'll definitely try to get out there for it in '04, though.

Steff Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 and ride into work each day with maggs........ Maggs is in Tinley. He could ride in with Carlos, though. And Mark is out that way as well, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a must do for any fan. I went 11 years in a row and the year I missed I was so bummed. It's a great experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Fainter Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 If Konerko is the least bit dinged up, it is the perfect chance to bring up Gload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 The sports bar in Darien is Sluggers ... just north of 63rd street on Cass Ave. I think that's the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 The other pizza joint sorta sports bar over there is Papa Passero's, also on Cass, just south of 63rd St. Both nothing fancy, just good places to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I would agree about the replay. I can't see how he would have jammed the shoulder on that play. it wouldn't seem that could be a shoulder injury but it could be if in his stumble when he got his foot caught he jammed his arm on the railing or whatever to prevent falling - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molto Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 umm, Michelle, you are putting words in my mouth. I'm sure many sox fans doubted Olivo, but I didn't, I swear on that. I don't assume a minor league player will be crap. also, I never said Borchard was going to be good. I've been saying it since last year, he still needs time in AAA. the tools for him are there, he just needs to fix that long swing. I'm not going to go on a list of the guys i liked because I simply don't have the time, but please, don't get offended because I like Jimenez. you are acting like you are this major league scout for christ sake. everyone likes specific players, some of them don't work out. so just relax.

Steff Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Jim.. it's not either one of those names... It's a weird name.. crap I can't believe I can't remember it. It's right off 55 on the right side of the street if you're going south. s***! This is going to bug me all friggin day now. And HSC.. I wouldn't be surprised if the house in Tinley was her sister's and they were staying there while having something built in BR. I know him and his brother-in-law are tight. So I bet that's it. And Father's day was just a few weeks ago so maybe they all hung out there and went to Second Swing. I know they have a kick ass pool!

elrockinMT Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 People keep bringing up a degenerative him condition and Konerko in the same breath. There is NO hip problem according to baseball insiders and Konerko himself has said there is NO hip condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubKilla Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I must have my wrong glasses on again because I'm not able to read between the lines ... What exactly is Konerko not telling the truth about, or what are the Sox not saying about Konerko? I guess if you can't decipher the cryptic writings of Steff and HSC, you're not meant to know Still waiting on KW to step down too ladies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing someone who has seen Paul first hand getting treatments.. and someone hearing the same thing that Michelle was told are very different, IMO.

Guest JimH Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Steff, off 55 on the right hand side, Darien area ... The Irish place, Kerry Piper, it's in Burr Ridge. There's a Giordano's at Madison and Plainfield (Willowbrook). Bono's Pub, that's on Rt. 83, not far off 55 ... Willowbrook. The Patio is right near there too, on Rt. 83. Unless you're talking about the billiards place (Pockets?), on Cass ... just off 55? I heard from someone else they'd seen Buerhle in there. I bet that's the one you're talking about. By the way, speaking of players in local restaurants, Carlos Lee likes to stop in at Tacos Erindera, on 35th St. just east of Halsted, on the north side of the street. I've been going there since they opened in the late 60's. They have the best burrito you'll ever eat ... $3. No beer in there, but with food like that, who cares? Every time I go to a game, I stop and pick a few burros up to bring back to Naperville. Tacos Erindera, Schaller's, Pancho Pistoles, Ricobene's, La Milanesa ... mmmmmmmmm ... good eatin' in Bridgeport! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Bla, bla, bla... yadda, yadda, yadda... Heh, I love you gals, but sometimes you might not get the right information. It happens! Just like Kenny W being canned. It doesn't mean we can't be friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
