Kyyle23 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Gobble has to be relieved not to have to face Konerko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 This move was made for Konerko. Who else was going to pitch to him on rehab stints? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo's Drinker Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 We really like the KC bullen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Lemon Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 This is awesome. Two weekends ago, I kept telling everyone the Sox were going to get Gobble b/c of their infatuation w/ the KC 'pen. Although I was saying that as a joke to make people laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 (edited) If nothing else, I thank him for the homer he gave up to Konerko last year. It was the 15th inning, rain was starting to fall, lightning was getting closer and closer to the ballpark, and had Jimmy not shown up to save the day, all of those hours we spent at the park watching that game might not have been rewarded with a conclusion on that evening (might have had to suspend it and finish later had the game not ended at that point). So thanks Jimmy. Edited April 5, 2009 by whitesoxfan101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 This is comical... Konerko's going to be missing a couple of home runs at the end of the year because of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Keep bringing in the project arms. For minor league salaries, we can't lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Sure we can. They have great spring trainings (Logan) or tear up the minor leagues (Bajenaru) and suck for the major league teams. The guy was cut by the Royals and was given less than a week from the Rangers. This signing is filler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Keep in mind, he's a good month and a heartbeat away from being called up. He took his lumps, let's embrace him into the organization. He was once a promising pitcher. But, he's still only 27 and is a lefty, there's still potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
