Paul Konerko Re Signs With Sox

[Everyday I'm Byfuglien]

What is Human Garbage and why is it a proper noun?

 

[Chi Sox Nut]

Paulie is Human Garbage. There, I said it.

Is Human Garbage a super hero? Unless you didn't mean it as a proper noun...oh, I see...you think Paul Konerko is less than human. Well, since you're always right, I guess all of those thousands of fans, including myself, as well as Jerry Reinsdorf, who was willing to spend $37.5 million of his money and Kenny, who said, "he's a first-class person," must be wrong. Oh what a terrible mistake! You must want to abandon such a ship of fools. Well, good luck finding another team who won't disappoint you with signing such a loser like Paulie.

The White Sox should sign some more human garbage then, if it's that good at baseball.

 

[BigP50]

he had MVP numbers last year, ill take the risk, lol.

 

[nickofypres]

Konerko is kind of a dick, and he's known to throw teammates under buses.

 

[BigP50]

One time I went to a game and he only signed one autograph, it was my baseball!

lol

 

[Chi Sox Nut]

Will someone please give some links to actual examples of how Paulie has thrown anyone under the bus? I've lived in Phoenix for the past 15 years and had a hard time following the White Sox, which was part of the reason I also became a Diamondbacks fan. It hasn't been until the past 2 years that I've been able to follow the Sox again, like I did while growing up in Chicago, because I've been able to listen to every game on my iPhone I can't watch, and follow everything else through social media. And now that White Sox Spring Training is at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, instead of Tucson or Sarasota, I've been able to go to numerous games and watch up close. This forum is honestly the first time I've heard anyone mention anything negative about Paulie. I'd like to know specific examples of what was said and when they happened, as well as the context of the incidents.

1) Since when does the amount of money a player makes determine his have or have-not of supremely dickish qualities?

2) Because the general manager of the Chicago fucking White Sox is going to go to the media and say "he's an asshole", right.

3) Everything you say reeks of stupidity. Stick to the Facebook White Sox pages with your pud brethren.

Let's not go anointing Paul Konerko some baseball god. He's above average, that's it.

he had MVP numbers last year, ill take the risk, lol.

For as long as you've been on this board and have been seeing people unfathomably more intelligent than you speak about baseball, you still don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Lefty, you crack me up! :rolling:

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

Konerko is fine! He always signs. He's personable.

 

[ChicTownBoyJohn]

Paul K is the face of that baseball team, and I'm sure no other team would give him more money if they felt maybe he won't have another great season.

 

[Undisputed]

Let's not go anointing Paul Konerko some baseball god. He's above average, that's it.

Above average sounds good to me.

 

[DewsSox79]

.280 .356 365 homeruns

that is a pretty good career, especially a guy who probably didnt use PEDs.

If the sox had a prospect and someone that can predict the future came down and told me that, that prospect would have those numbers...i would be very happy.

 

[ChiSportsRich]

Paulie is Human Garbage. There, I said it.

I disagree that Paulie is "Human Garbage", Kotsay is human Garbage. did the Sox overpay for him, Yes; but is he human garbage, no.

 

[Chi Sox Nut]

I think Lefty is just a grumpy old man. He makes me laugh! :lmao:

 

[ChiSportsRich]

Let's not go anointing Paul Konerko some baseball god. He's above average, that's it.

also, above average is a bit of a stretch. Average is about right

 

[DewsSox79]

no, now that is wrong. what are you guys basing this off of, the current konerko or are we looking at him as a whole (career)

again. .280 ba 356 OBP 365 Homeruns

Im sure when his career is over he will be in the 400's for homeruns, is his price too high? yes. but look at all these fuckers getting overpaid.

i wouldnt call him average.

 

[ChiSportsRich]

Im Basing that off the fact that he has lost a step the last couple of years and that i dont see him being of the the elite 1st basemen in 2011, do i disagree with the signing, no. Do I think he has had an awesome career for the Sox, without doubt. im just saying going into 2011 he will be an average, at best, 1st baseman. look at the players most similar through age 34 at the bottom of his Baseball-Reference.com page the only one who did anything is The Crime Dog

BTW as a Sox fan I love Konerko

 

[Chi Sox Nut]

Konerko is fine! He always signs. He's personable.

Here's a quote to back you up from the White Sox Facebook PK signed jersey contest page, regarding Paulie:

"Met him at hawks game during spring training in az! Gave my son an autograph and was sincerely impressed he is my sons favorite sox. Good things happen to good people! Paulie! Paulie!" - Pat Neylon

Yea, it sure helps when most of those players are either 34 right now or retired at the age of 34.
