whitesoxfan101 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 12:29 PM) Dude's put on a fair amount of weight. It's really hard not to if you have a bad back. Unless your metabolism is superior. Anyways, I hope Joe figures out a way to get rid of that back pain. Reading/seeing this story actually made me sad.

greg775 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 07:45 PM) This is either hyperbole or the White Sox have been pretty terrible when it comes to individual players over the team's entire history. Hyperbole? Look, the White Sox have won one World Series in 100 years or whatever it is. Without him ... we do not win that one WS! Conclusion: Yes, said player is a one of the greats in Sox history. Look at pro football. You rarely get a Hall of Fame sniff w/out a Super Bowl title. Joe Crede was crucial in us winning only WS in gazillion years. He is a Sox great.

Is there any doubt now why greg wants Ozzie back? lol. 2005. That's it for him. Ozzie has to literally die first before he would support a replacement.

I forgot about 06 and 17. And Sox actually made it to the WS in 1959 I believe. Quite a drought after that. You won't get me to utter a negative word about Joe Crede.

Texsox Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 First off he's the second best 3B I've watched in a Sox uniform. I also read one of the beat writers sent a tweet that Crede sticks by his decision regarding his medical choices he would not have done anything different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptatc Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 03:24 PM) Then again, he's a QB. They get hit like once or twice a year now with the pussification of football. So true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 14, 2011 -> 01:13 PM) How in the heck could Manning EVER consider playing again? I mean baseball is much less contact, so much less, and Crede's back is wrecked. Manning is going to get hit in the back a lot. If he plays again he has a screw loose. Isn't there danger in playing, ptatc? Peyton Manning's problem is different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjshoe04 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 The love some people have for Joe Crede and Aaron Rowand is ridiculous. Why is Carl Everett never brought up? That's a true White Sox legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference is that one is in the cervical spine and Crede's was in the lumbar spine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm very very slow tonight (I'll argue not this slow most days) He said "I still love Crede. All time great Sox player? No. But love the guy." I thought he meant he loved Crede, just disagreed on him being an all time great. I can accept it if haters say they do love the guy for what he did in 05. And a mod agreed with me we don't win it all w/out JOE CREDE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is Carl Everett never brought up? That's a true White Sox legend. At least Crede was a good player when healthy. Aaron Rowand only became popular by crashing into walls and he cost the Sox runs with bad defense in Sept 05. And Carl Everett hates dinosoars, but he moved Willie Harris over to 3rd in Game 4 in Houston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
