Lisa Dergan: In Memoriam

December 14, 2004 - November 20, 2007; April 14, 2009 - November 5, 2009

We are gathered here today to remember Lisa Dergan and her husband Scott Eric Podsednik. Lisa came to us the second time as a minor league free agent.  Today, she leaves us for Kansas City.

My favorite Lisa Dergan moment is from August 30, 2006.  While the White Sox won that game, her husband, Scott, struck out four times and I told her that he was not a good baseball player (to paraphrase).  She gave me a dirty look that only a Playboy Playmate can give and turned to watch Scott prance back to the dugout.

Please add your memory - or at least your name - to the guestbook below.

Not a fan of blondes nor pretty boys, so this
works for me.
Scott: thanks for ‘05 and ’08 (other than
that one really mortifying thing you did in Seattle, you know the one, I won’t even go to the
trouble of details, you know what you did in the 10th inning…90 feet from home.. Yeah you know that one… Don’t you, Scott. Yeah, I’ll bet you remember, Scott. I remember, Scott…).

At least we still have Jamie’s fine ass in our seats and Kotsay’s hirsute beefcakeness at DH.

do you differentiate between actual blondes and bottle blondes?

because i doubt the curtains match the carpet. unless evidence surfaces to the contrary, of course.

These events have me frightened and on the verge of evacuating my bowels.

Was, in fact, a note about a thing and a hand and things leaving the hand area and whatnot.

But that didn’t even take two posts.

RIP, Scotty.

My favorite “dur” moment was the time you played that routine fly ball into a triple. My second favorite was when you got picked off base. My third was you throwing like a girl that time you were trying to cut down a runner at home and it bounced, like, 20 times. And lastly, I enjoyed your trips to the DL.

I could watch that over and over again. And we’ll always buy you a beer (or 6, I know you like to drink ’em fast) because of 2005.

One of the more interesting twists from this weekend involves C.J. Retherford, the solid-hitting Minor League infielder who launched the game-winning home run in the 2009 Arizona Fall League title game.

Much like his work during instructional league action, Retherford will have a chance to catch at the minicamp.

“He did a good job at the instructional league, although I don’t know about his transfer and throws,” said Bell of Retherford’s catching. “He’s seen as more of a super-utility guy. He can play anywhere on the field, and catching makes him even more valuable.”

When I die (perhaps tomorrow) if I am lucky enough

to go to Heaven I would have a mature J. Mitchell as CF and Ichiro in RF wearing a Sox hat. Scott Podsednik would play for the Yankees, and AJ would pick him off every inning. Because it’s Heaven, and no one keeps score. Yes, AJ would be my catcher.

(Hmmm, I smell another Right Rail post somewhere down the line. “Is this Heaven? I thought it was White Sox baseball…”)

Thanks for the Podspalms!

I most remember all of your caught stealings and your plethora of getting picked offs. Especially the getting picked off, everyone of them felt like two outs to me.
There was this little doozie:

you know, when you ruined Buehrle’s record run of perfect innings and subsequently the game, against the hated Twins.
and then there was all those 1st half SB in ’05 and that home run in the World Series.
I didnt forget the contributions to the happiest season of my life, but I sure did love to hate you at the end.

by e-gus on Jan 9, 2010 11:35 AM CST reply actions  

just for accuracy (though i figure i was in the 95th percentile of pods haters starting around the middle of the year)

buehrle gave up a walk and a single before pods butchered that fly ball. but yes, pods ruined that game.

the suck is not just a river in ireland.

Pods clearly married over his head

But am I the only one who thinks LD is a less attractive January Jones?

As for Pods 2.0 (the highs and lows of his first tenure are well documented)…he was the only one of Kenny’s spare parts in 2009 who actually worked. Pods earned his minor league deal and then some. He was fun to watch in June and July. Best of all, the White Sox organization did not allow last year’s performance to suck them into offering him a multi-year, multi-million dollar deal.

by 67WMAQ on Jan 9, 2010 1:02 PM CST reply actions  

I'm not falling for this again.

I’ll wait until he retires before I say goodbye to pods as a sox.

Pods nearly completing the cycle of bad

Baserunning by being picked off first, second, and third in about a 2 week span pretty much sums him up. I’m sure he would have been picked off home plate if possible, but he gets bonus points for being picked off 3rd while representing the winning run with less than 2 outs in extra innings in a game the Sox lost. I believe that was the final nail in the coffin.
