That is a terrible move. Personally I would have rather designated Konerko for assignment than Ozuna. This is not good for the team. With Konerko coming back, Swisher will be moved be playing every day in center field…so what in the hell do you need three center fielders for? Wise is a lefty so I could see keeping him…… Brian Anderson should have been sent down if someone had to go. Konerko, Thome or Swisher should not be on the team. One of them has to go and to get rid of Ozuna for one of them sickens me. Ozuna can fill in at any position, hit lefties, pinch run….I am very upset over this.

For god sake ozzie….seriously what do you need a flag? How many times are you going to keep running out Linebrink in save situations. I have been saying it for over a week that this guy can’t close. It is painfully obvious yet Ozzie keeps putting him out there. This is going to ruin his confidence if it keeps up and he is going to be ** for the rest of the season. Octavio Dotel was a proven closer at one point in his career. This is the man that should be closing games out. Get your head out of your tushie Guillen and manage the damn game like it should be managed.

Other than that… even though they played like total slop, the manager has no clue on how to manage the bullpen now that Jenks is out and Carlos Quentin hit more pop ups than Willie Mays Hays we somehow managed to win. Any time you can separate is a good thing. And I am upset that Chef Ramsey picked Christina to run his kitchen instead of Petroza. Dont know if you watch Hells Kitchen but it is a quality show.

On July 3rd…TC, Scam, Swasfies or whatever and Mike Devereaux all were arguing with me that it doesn’t matter what inning Linebrink comes in…. Obviously it does matter as every time he has come in since he has given up at least one run. Now good ol Mike Devereaux is trying to steal my thunder like he said this first….I don’t think so pal! I called this one before it even started. Linebrink is not a proven closer. He never has been and never will be. He is an 8th inning guy, and a solid one.

Riefert hook me up with a scouting job i will turn the minor league system around quickly.

By kenwo4life@aol.com on July 9, 2008 12:19 AM

So Ozzie finally took my advice and used Octavio to close. Worked out a lot better didn’t it….cmon people i have been calling for that move since Jenks went down…give me my props for goodness sakes.

If JD was truly upset over Cabrera stealing third with one out because he distracted him JD wins the *** of the month award. The way JD has hit in this series Cabrera should have tried to steal home too. Again I am not sure what all that was about but that was the speculation.

Javy and Jose need to get back to normal. We will not survive if they keep pitching like this. We won’t be playing the Royals forever.

By the way, I like the blog a whole lot better when we are talking about Tiffany Thiessen than politics.

How about you quit whining and don’t read my post if you don’t like it? It isn’t that difficult, I don’t read any of Dleeuns posts anymore. If I offend you read on! However, you can’t do that -because I am the straw that stirs the drink on this blog. Might as well call me Reggie…............

leading up to a royal ass-kicking of Kenwo?

No, not you, a good attorney…

if kenwo was like some super big dude with serious kickboxing skills, found out larry was posting his ridiculous commentary, and a fight breaks at the blog meetup (i mean this guy has to show up right?). i hope you other SSSers have larry’s back ;-)

“This fellow seems to make sense. Am I missing the humour”?

I used to be a regular on the insidethesox blog, that and the yahoo! message boards, but hte format change on yahoo was unbearable, and then last year Riefert was way too obviously a sox PR man, much too upbeat for the reality of the situation, and I jumped ship.

SSS for life

kenwo has been on there for atleast 4 years, but in the fisticuffs I’ll definitely cheap shot his ass for larry.

That was God awful. Konerko has been a pretty decent first basemen in years past. This year I think he is bringing his offensive struggles on defense with him. There have been a lot of plays that should have been made or could have been made that haven’t been. The sox are a better team without this balding buffoon. Thanks for a couple homers in the 05 playoffs but don’t let the door hit you in the caboose on the way out. Throw in the fact that I believe the other two center fielders may have made the play on Guillen’s fly ball (at least would have been a lot closer than Swisher) and you have another reason why the sox are better without him. I have never ever liked this guy since we got him (minus those couple homers in the 05 playoffs).

No I am not a kick boxer. If I was I would be kicking Konerko right in the Tush right about now.

But, we played like dump this series and won 2 of 3 so it isn’t all that bad. Shoulda lost all three to be honest.

By kenwo4life@aol.com on July 10, 2008 10:10 PM

I have never cared for Konerko. I have made this point clear from the moment I first appeared on this blog. He is a dog of a player and personally I would have rather kept Mike Cameron 10 years ago.

All I said about Aaron Rowand is the sox should not just be pushing him in newsletters about the final vote. Carlos Lee was and is a better ballplayer. Rowand IS the single most over rated ballplayer the white sox ever had. He had a good 2004. Other than that he wasn’t all that great. Even his “stellar” outfield play wasn’t that great. Sure he made a lot of diving catches, but most good center fielders IE Torrii Hunter don’t have to dive to catch those balls.

Crede should not be on the all star team and JD should be. Thats all I said about him. His defense has been bad and minus a week or two his offense hasn’t been that great either.

I like Alexei Ramirez, just needs to have his head in the game more often. I also like Juan Uribe. I don’t like AJ but he should have made the all star team.

The rumored deal was Ervin Santana and Howie Kendrick for Paul Konerko. Should have been made. Without hesitation.

If i had to bet the next person that will feel my wrath is still Paul Konerko. I don’t see anything offensively, defensively, attitude wise….. If any one player is going to bring the sox down this year look no farther than your good ol’ team captain. Hopefully we can over come.
By kenwo4life@aol.com on July 11, 2008 3:01 PM

2 games….2-2 record….. 4 games the white sox have played like garbage…... what is the common denominator in this? Paul Konerko. It is time to richie sexson this guy. If he goes on to have a great year for another team, so be it. The sox are better without him.
By kenwo4life@aol.com on July 11, 2008 10:34 PM

Ya ya..Konerko was 4-4. The fact is if swisher wasnt at first in the 9th and if Anderson wasn’t in center in the 8th they would have lost the game anyway. Let me see him hit like this for a week or two then maybe i will lay off a little. hopefully we can sneak a win in texas and rest up for 4 long days. what in the hell am i going to do for 4 days without the sox besides search tiffany thiessen on google pics. :-) just kiddin

That rally killing ** Konerko…hit a * fly ball you head
By kenwo4life@aol.com on July 13, 2008 4:33 PM

That mother * * ** son of a bitch loser! How many * times does this guy have to burn our tushies before he doesn’t play anymore. Tying run on second and this * swings at ball four and takes strike three. This jerk goes 0-6 in a * park that the stupid * announcer has been saying is such a great place to hit in. Sure Thome and Quentin also made outs in the 9th but at least they came through on multiple occasions earlier in the game. This should not be allowed back to the park on Friday. I am going to that game and I will be booing his sally the whole game. terrible in the field , terrible at the plate….a left handed pitcher on the mound this jerk can’t hit him..we cut pablo who hits 350 against lefties for this * and he stinks. The whole organization should be taken to task for signing this * back in the fall of 05! I didn’t want his candy * then, I dont want it now and I hope that he never EVERRRRRRRRRRR comes back to the cell AGAIN!

Swas I was a multiple time all star throughout my little league career. Won 5 championships- 4 in a row- thats more in a row than MJ…Went to high school and was just outstanding for 3 of the 4 years…jr. year being the exception. Didn’t have enough heat to get drafted unfortunately. Played in a highly competitive semi pro league on the south side that sent many players to the Thunderbolts and dominated on the hill for the most part in that league too until I blew out my shoulder last fall. No i never got paid to play but for 20 years I was one of the best area players on the south side. I know my way around the baseball field. I spotted when Linebrink couldn’t pitch in the 9th inning. I know that Konerko makes the white sox a worse team and if you don’t think he does then you are the one who has never played.
By kenwo4life@aol.com on July 13, 2008 7:00 PM

it might be interesting to invite kenwo to login into SSS…and then ban his little ass if he can’t handle the heat.

Where are we to go without our daily kenwo?

now it’s oil drilling and smart cars. you people fucking suck. i got all excited for a potential kenwo rant and this is what i get? fuck this. i’m outta here.

‘Cause I just did.

Marie…you are right. I don’t appreciate that. I am 10 times smarter baseball wise than he is. Anyway….why does everyone think I am anti Sox now? I have been saying that since probably christmas time (maybe a little later) I think they will win the division. That hasn’t changed. Just think they would be better off without Konerko.

Our White Sox guys didn’t do anything tonight! I expected Carlos to win the game multiple times. Thank goodness Young’s fly was deep enough to score Morneau…I didn’t want Carlos looking even worse. Home field in the series for the AL…thats always good. Now I am going to be extremely board the next 2 nights. No white sox, no wrestling, no chef ramsey…maybe I will go see Motley Crue tomorrow nite!
