quickman Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Well I have officially taken Konerko off my list of players I want to watch...forever. The guy just plain stinks. If he is injured put him on the Damn DL. If not, he has just plain lost it. He cannot get off my team fast enough. I want his salary off the team as well. Do you realize how many games we stuck with this guy bouncing into DP's in clutch situations. I literally hate him now. I could care less if he is trying, I dobn't care if he is a nice guy, I care that we have to pay this slug to lumber down the bases. Thanks for reading.

Jim Fainter Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 .185 batting average going into the game speaks volumes. We have a guy in Charlotte hitting 200 points higher, but he is too old at age 27. We have a second guy in Charlotte hitting 160 points higher, but he is also 27, which is too old. Both of them play first base, plus other positions. What is so complicated here? Konerko will most likely continue playing 25% of the games or so, probably with similar results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Hey Terry, how's it goin' otherwise? Just responded to your earlier email. Yup, you're right ... Konerko has officially been declared a Disaster Area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 How about Konerko just pinch hits always with the bases empty. At least that way the only person he can get out is himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Irish Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Get rid of him now. He makes me sick. He has been in a slump for about 180 to 190 games now. I think Last years first half was a fluke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickman Posted July 9, 2003 Author Share Posted July 9, 2003 Going good jim, sent off an email to you earlier about the games next month, also lets get the girls to go to game one time as well. I cannot beleive the Tigers won, this is not a division leading team. We cannot lose games like this. Now we have to hope again that KC loses. God I hate this crap.

quickman Posted July 9, 2003 Author Share Posted July 9, 2003 Hotsox, what is taking the sox so long? Christ he should not be playing. No need to get him going, get him out! I can't stand watching him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwsox Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 while he got no rbi, he did hit the ball which scored our only run - we hit into 4 at least double plays - that is a team effort everyone is hitting 20-50 points lower than they should be doing minimally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand watching him. they cant get anyone to take his sorry ass.......im thinking they opt him to the minors??? its about the only way to get rid of him.....but then we take on his salary, which isnt all that small........and that other blockbuster deal we were gonna cream over... dont count on it happening.... heard yesterday that the plug was pulled on us .....hopefully they have something else on the burners..... we cant go into the post season with this team thats for sure............

greg775 Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 I don't blame ya. He is pathetic all of a sudden. I can't believe he hit that homer to save that one recent game. We need to let him sit the bench the rest of the season along with Koch. Play both of em one of every six games or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickman Posted July 9, 2003 Author Share Posted July 9, 2003 i don't need Ponson to get rid of Konerko. I really don't mind taking a reliever or a prospect. Seriously, he is not going to help us win. He is a massive head case. He is like a bad golfer. Hits a nice drive down the middle then can't hit another shot and takes an 8 on the hole. Its nuts that we are trying to win the division and we have this crap in the lineup. We should be winning these games. That simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwsox Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 I still don't understand why this game is PK's fault I am not a major PK fan by any means but how is this game his fault other than we need to blame one persona s opur villian ratehr than say this whole team has been underhitting all year? anyone every look at our TEAM batting average and ranking in the AL?

Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 not that its his fault.. its the fact that he should be riding the pine while letting someone who can actually hit the ball, play......besides frank always does better when he plays the field.... why should he dh???? maybe let him split the time between he and dauber and let paulie just pack his s*** and leave...........the useless wonder..........

quickman Posted July 9, 2003 Author Share Posted July 9, 2003 Hotsox any idea what the trade was suppose to be? Did it involve Konerko? Well I won't forget, when I put someone on the list he is off forever, if the guy ever catches fire we should trade his sorry ass immediately. He is costing us bigtime in salary. We need to play better. this really is depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickman Posted July 9, 2003 Author Share Posted July 9, 2003 CW- its not just this game.... but it still is this game. When you pay a guy 6 million he needs to perform, especially because he is suppose to be an RBI man. He is a complete nut case. we cannot afford to have him in these situations. He is slow, therefore he needs to hit, if he can't hit, then he should not play and get paid 6 million, by the way 8 million next year. He takes up a spot. I am certain we could get a 20 HR guy who bats 265 and drives in 70 for 2 million. Leaves us lots more money for pitching. How many more times do we hang with this guy?

quickman Posted July 9, 2003 Author Share Posted July 9, 2003 Lowell will be back on the market soon, you watch. Willis is somebody they won't part with, doesn't matter, why can we not simply get rid of Konerko for some prospects? If we are not using him anyway lets get a kid here to play. My god just get this guy out of mysight. If you ahve not noticed he is Billy Koch to me. Its just a damn shame we have this team and can do nothing with it.
