Let’s call it, playing “winter ball”
White Sox’ left fielder Scott Podsednik had quite an off season.
Not only did the team he had been traded to win the World Series. Not only did he hit two home runs in the post season after hitting none during the regular season — one of them the walk-off kind, the bottom-of-the-ninth-world-series-game-two-winner kind.
Well after all of that, Scottie was in for some more. Much more. This winter, he married Playboy’s Playmate of the month of July, 1998, Lisa Dergan.
That’a boy, Scottie.

If Scott Podsednik can score this kind of chic by hitting .250, hitting two homeruns and driving in absolutely noone, imagine what I could have scored if I were in the majors with my .026, 0 hr, 0 rbi, 0 runs totals.

Atta-boy Scott.
That makes it official. I can’t trade away a guy who bangs a Playmate in the shower after the game.
You are a total stud.

Hey Lance, you wanna pick three guys, or you just wanna name 20 or 30 to improve your chances of being right?

wow, thats a lot of hate considering i was a perfect 3 for 3 on the last 3 questions…for the record my guess is yaz

Ok, you clearly just went and looked that one up Lance.

Lance is right: it’s Rose, Aaron and Yaz.

ok no…considering 5 hours earlier i had yaz as a possible answer…that seems a little odd that after narrowing it down to 3 that i would then go ruin my integrity and go cheat to get the answer

nick, not to mention clearly cobb or rickey wasnt the answer because coley didnt acknowledge either one of them when we posted them as answers so i knew it wasnt cobb or rickey as the 3rd guy…so i just took a basic guess between yaz or musial…i was quite confident it was one or the other so i just took a guess and since musial was JUST an answer recently i went with yaz

Here’s something stupid. I got an email from Boston Globe editorial the other day asking for the best “bar stool arguments” that staffers had ever had (I’m a lowly serf doing research). One of their examples was “Favorite all-time Sox: Papi or Yaz?” Ye fools!!! Even the marvelous Ortiz has a long, long way to go before he approaches Yaz status. That’s like comparing Paul Pierce to Larry Bird. Anyways, just thought I’d share.

Sarah, I’m a yankees fan and although I completely understand your point, Papi DID bring you a championship that Yaz never did

Yes. And I hope that by the time his contract with the Sox plays out (and may he finish his career here, PUHLEASE Theo and God) his number will also be hanging on the right field upper deck. But it’s a long way to Tipperary.
Trust a Yankees fan to think it’s *all* about championships. ;)

when you’re a fan of a team in a 84 year championship drought and you finally win one, isn’t it ALL about THAT championship?

If that were true, I’d have stopped being a fan two years ago…
86 years, pal. 86.

wow….did you come from the most condescending school of thought?
being a diehard new york rangers fan im familiar with curses and whatnot……just because u finally win one doesnt mean you stop being a fan, and i certainly wasnt implying that, but it does mean that 1994 is the most important sports year of my life and does mean to me that mark messier, adam graves etc are forever etched into the lore of new york heroes.
yaz is our version of rod gilbert or jean ratelle…great players who never played for a cup winning team…fans loved them, but unfortunately they will never be able to reach the messier/richter/graves/leetch category. Is it fair? probably not, but thats the way it is.
86. i apologize sarah green

[...] This year’s team was supposed to be better than last years; we upgraded our rotation, we upgraded at DH (though Frank makes us look like tits); we had Bobby Jenks for the whole season. But no; half-baked-Freddy, Huntin’ Mark, El Titanic Contreras, and Five-and-dive Javy couldn’t put together a decent string of victories early on in the season. I mean, Jon Garland was our staff ace! Now with the offense in a funk; with an overrated manager who cannot put together a decent lineup against lefties (essentially forfeiting the game before it starts); with a Playboy model for a left-fielder, this team (yes, it’s a ChiSox rant) is again at it’s underachieving finest.
