SoxFan562004 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 he is awesome and consistent. People rag on that contract, but I think it was fine. He and MB will get statutes at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 He's been great. I thought last year he had earned his stripes so well that he should NEVER have been booed. I wonder how the clowns who booed him feel now. He had an off year. He was not finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear it was you... did you not claim Paulie would never have 20 hr power again, just a few weeks ago? Yes, but truth be told, that was only due to the information Hawk was providing (you know, freaking out every time he got jammed thinking his thumb just tore off).

He would have to be re-signed after 2010, and that's far from a lock. And even if he is... man, he still has like 130 more to go. Either way, I love me some Paulie.

They have been immeasurably important to this franchise, not to the level of Frank Thomas but pretty darn close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigHurt Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I always have and always will love Paul Konerko. The man is responsible for the most excitement moment in my life as a sports fan, and he relived it today. I have NEVER bashed Paulie on this board and I never will. He is and will always be my second all time fave WS player (after Frank). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Kong, MB, and potentially Dye once he resigns will be getting their numbers retired here. MB will always be the face of the decade for me, but Kong is a close second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering he might not be along much longer... I kind dont think he will ever get there either. He will however be remembered as one of our best OF ever.

hogan873 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I mentioned a while back that I thought Paulie had somewhat re-invented himself as a hitter. I saw (and I guess still see) him as a great contact hitter with decent power vs. strictly a power hitter. Obviously when a player cranks out three homers, including a grand slam, it's hard to say he's not a power hitter. But Paulie has been nothing short of awesome this year. Batting around .300 and getting key RBIs. He's a workhorse that deserves to be an All Star. Hell, he's our All Star for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering he might not be along much longer... I kind dont think he will ever get there either. He will however be remembered as one of our best OF ever. I have to agree with you. I don't see four from the '05 team having their numbers retired. Just doesn't happen. Thomas and Buerhle seem like locks. anyone after that becomes iffy, even Kong.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Solid. That's the first word that comes to mind when I think about Konerko. Yeah, he's had some pretty nasty slumps through the years (2003 and most of last year). Other than that, he consistently gets the job done. When you factor in defense (he's been arguably the best defensive 1B in baseball this year), he's arguably having his best all-around season. Not bad for a guy that appeared to be done this time last year. This is why you don't give up on guys with proven track records. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RME JICO Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Since 1999, players that either have or will have 300 2Bs, 300 HRs, and 1,000 RBIs by the end of the year.

everafan Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I think we are all missing the obvious reason for Paulie's resurgence - he can relax now that Brandon Allen is no longer breathing down his neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan3530 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) You honestly couldn't have two nicer, more down to earth guys represent our club for the past 10 years in Buehrle and Konerko. Two of the truly nice guys in sports. It makes it even easier and more enjoyable to be a Sox fan and root for these guys. PAULIE!

kwolf68 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Paulie rules. I had offered Michael Bourn for him in my fantasy league and the guy said he would accept it. This morning he countered with Jason Kubel, saying he was gonna hang onto PK. If it gets the Sox wins, I'll take it, but I'd have liked Paulie to crack 3 homers this weekend AFTER I made that deal.

103 mph screwball Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I was at the game and took this video of the slam and put it on youtube. Paully was getting some love!!!! Sorry for shakiness. I'm not used to recording video and going nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
