Cowley: Konerko hearing it from crowd

Yeah, well Catherine Pratt’s “65 Positive Ways To Deal With Negative People” still sux! So there.

So you want to boo Paul Konerko?

That’s fine with White Sox hitting coach Greg Walker. But Walker did send a message Wednesday to certain home fans he deems “negative people.”

“I’m not concerned because I know Paul is a professional,” Walker said. “But it does kind of hurt because I care so much about the guy, and he’s scuffling. At the same time, I don’t feel sorry for him, either, because he gets paid a lot of money to produce, and he knew it when he signed on with the White Sox.

“The one thing, the people that were booing—they have a right to boo—but when they walk into this ballpark and take a look at that statue (the Championship Moments Monument) out there, they better realize he’s a big reason that statue is even standing and we’re walking around here with rings on our hands.

“I would tell them that, if they asked me what I thought, ‘You better be grateful this guy played here, and one day you will be.”
