TheBigHurt Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Like hell someone is gonna tell me this doesn't deserve its own thread. Congrats, Paulie. You've come a long way and will leave quite a legacy behind here one day when you are no longer a member of this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox_Sonix Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Congrats to Paulie. A real shame his great season is going to be wasted. Hopefully he can go on a little run here and get to 400 before the season ends as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klaus kinski Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Paulie-what an example of a warrior. One of the greatest White Sox for all time. I salute your guts, perseverance, and will to get better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hibbard Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) It's really remarkable how this player has transformed himself from an above-average major league player to "borderline-borderline" hall-of-famer. I don't think he's even close yet, but he just keeps getting better and better, against all odds. I can't think of a another player who has made himself so much better at 35 than he ever was at 25 (if it weren't for roids I'd say Bonds). If he stays healthy and plays at a statistical clip that's slightly below-average (for him) over the next four seasons, he'll truly be in that discussion. What an amazing career. So, so proud to root for this player. Edited August 24, 2011 by Greg Hibbard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitoMB345 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Congratulations PK! You will go down as one of the greatest White Sox players in team history! I think that's safe to say. A class act, through and through. You deserve this, Paulie! Now, let's get 1000 more!!! Edited August 24, 2011 by TitoMB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILMOU Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Aging like a fine wine. The guy rocks. I'm thinking the WS Grand Slam, at the point of contact, should be the concourse statue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Paulie gets to 2500 hits and 500 HR, he has to get in because how many clean 500 HR guys haven't got in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Paulie gets to 2500 hits and 500 HR, he has to get in because how many clean 500 HR guys haven't got in? That would take what, 3+ more years of this level of performance? If he's producing like that in his late 30's, that's the kind of push that can get a person in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can agree that the GS is the signature moment of his career, to this point. Disappointed that the Thomas statue wasn't completely satisfying.

caulfield12 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) You're not going with AJ reaching 1B with the ball in the dirt? Crede's homer against Riske? Iguchi's off Wells? Joking....have to agree with the Konero GS, off Qualls...I think it was. The Pods and Blum ones weren't so shabby, either.

DukeNukeEm Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I know nobody likes to hear this argument, but if Konerko didn't play for the 2nd team in the 2nd city the guy is HoF. And he took a hometown discount to stay here. Him and Buehrle are the White Sox to me, why people even consider trading those guys is beyond me.
