hello jimmy!!

paul konerko has given the pitchers a solid book on him.. they are using & abusing him with regularity.. now the onus is on him idenigy the problem & make an adjustment to wha t the pitchers are throwing him... but he has not shown even the slightest desire or ability to change anything..
for the last 3 years he has averaged .200 going into june... may i suggest that he rub the sleep out of his eyes & wake up in january if need be, & come out smokin in april when i need EVERYONE to jump off on the goodfoot & set the right tone for a championship winning season? instead, he is one of many who stumble out of the gate & are of no use to their team early on, when it matters most.. losers say "it's still early.. we can straighten it out".. the winners come out winning..
then when he gets it going, the season is already a foregone conclusion that the sox are done in july, THEN he wants to start hitting useless bases-empty HR's & meaningless RBI's when it is already too late to turn around the season..
the last week of the season, he was hideous in his attempt to get to 30 HR & 90 RBI.. like that would make his season satisfactory.. NOT!
he needs to go somewhere else & listen to someone other than greg walker, because he has not been getting the right answers here in chicago..
paul konerko needs a new home... come and take him
