Next time I'll make another KONERKO NIGHT thread?

then you would be 17 behnd the actual number of Konerko nights the Sox will have. I believe they will have 2 more this year.

My favorite Konerko night happened in 2005.

Is BRick talking about Cubs Nation hating Nick Gordon, Alex Gordon or Gordon Beckham in this thread?

but you have a bunch more coming up. You might enjoy the one brought to you by The Illinois Dept of Tran or the Pipefitters Union ? Maybe a backpack night?

We have to get them in before they move to North Dakota.

Poor effect of gas about to drop below $45 a barrel. Lotsa shit could go bad, This might be one, the inevtiable relocation of the Sox to ND, where they would draw more fans.

Backpack night would be a winner so long as they put the sponsors label where it can be easily concealed. Those awful Miller lite patches ruin the halfway to St Patty's hats.

We were just jealous we didn't have a future hall of famer on our roster.

Thats because Cubs fans tell me their future HOF'ers are still in the minors.

I believe bigfan has started 17 threads on Konerko since the start of last season?

Still think Beckham puts it together one season and either makes an all star team or cones up huge in the post season

Frank Coztansa · **Posted:** Wed Jan 28, 2015 11:06 pm

He's got the tools to do so. But so does Jay Cutler

Probably a greater chance of doing so than Javier Baez.

I always liked Beckham. I thought he was going to be a very solid (all star level at times) player. Seemed to have all the tools, but never did have the full season I expected he would.

Like most Kenny Williams draftees, he has all the tools except the most important one.

I don't think anyone has proclaimed Bryant or any other Cub prospect as a future HOF'er. I remember posters here proclaiming Beckham was bound for Cooperstown after his first two weeks in the majors.

I think there is a great chance that Baez never has a season to equal Beckham's best season so far. But.....with his bat speed, Baez has a chance to be a better hitter (power numbers wise) than Beckham. I wouldn't bet on Baez. I have seen too many swings without contact to be confident. But that bat speed generates a lot of power...

They don't actually say "Hall of Fame" but the numbers they suggest for him in his rookie season- his fucking rookie season!- are better than Longoria's best year.

lot of short-career bust outs on that list too.

Elmhurst Steve · **Posted:** Fri Feb 06, 2015 11:51 am

I did predict over 30 homers and 100 RBI for Bryant, provided he is called up by May 1st. I will not back off that either. I think he will be on the All-Star team by his 2nd year. He is a special talent.

Jeter.

Unflapable from the moment he got here. Charismatic. Gap power with .300 average ability. Even better with RISP. Solid but unspectacular D that will probably be overrated as he becomes a better known player.

I'm not sure if he has the horse cock Jeter is reputed to be carrying.

That is the most serious post you've ever made.

Beardown was HUGE on Beckham, and Frank thought he was going to be really good but never mentioned Hall of Fame or anything that I could find.

RFDC was also a big fan of Beckham. He and his friend 'agreed that he would be a stud.'

Keyser Soze literally blew Beckham for 2 years straight after he was drafted.

Hatchetman · **Posted:** Fri Feb 06, 2015 12:21 pm

I thought he'd be good. Was good in college. Good in the minors. Good his first year in the majors. Then he fell off a cliff. that's baseball.
