Springfield Soxfan Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hawk can now get off the ledge on this, even though he was totally right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Deservedly so, even though it should have been a no brainer to begin with (seriously, David Ortiz!? Someone tell Giardi that the reserve DH doesn't actually have to be a DH). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vance Law Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Glad for Konerko, but Youkilis actually has a better case. Rios was terrible oversight as he's been the best all-around CF in the American Leauge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Can someone find out when his ASG jersey will be on sale? Specifically the BP one, though I'm gonna probably get the BP & actual game jersey, neither are on MLB.com's shop page.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I just hope he doesn't do the home run contest now too... I hope he IS in the home run contest to make it f***ing interesting. DIdn't you read the article somebody posted with stats that indicate performance does not dip after playing in the contest? Put Paulie in the HR contest!

DIdn't you read the article somebody posted with stats that indicate performance does not dip after playing in the contest? Put Paulie in the HR contest! Yeah, stats may indicate that. But let us not forget what happened to Paulie last time he entered the derby. Not to mention the first half of the following season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, the numbers say one thing, but last time PAULIE did it, he sucked for a whole year!!!!1 Edited July 11, 2010 by Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Some people take sports too seriously. I want to see Paulie in the all star contest, cause the contest exists and I want to see him hit in it. Who gives a f*** if there's some hex? The article said otherwise. Enjoy life! Dont worry. Be f***ing happy people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, I guess that makes sense. Guys that participate in the Derby are ones that many times have played over their heads in the first half, so then of course they are likely to come back to earth a bit as the sample size increases. I guess I can buy that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Soxfan Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Do we all think that this is the last year on the Southside for Paulie? Hawk and Stone keep saying this is a Gold Glove year for Konerko so I'm not sure if KW brings him back, probably a discussion for another thread.
