oh, so you're one of THOSE guys: Konerko hasn't "won" one of the 30 games the sox have played this year, therefore I will say he has sucked for the last 2.5 years.

Unless the Sox are far behind!

well, just since since july of last year
he hit a HR in the 8th tied, one in the 8th up a run, two in the 8th up two runs, and one in the 9th down 2. meaningless, right?
