QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 16, 2010 -> 03:01 PM) Who do you want in right? Teahen. Laughable. Oh I forgot, I guess you want Jones out there. Jones has hit a few bombs this year. Hope he's not back next year, though. Well, Jones would be a better choice. But I think he was just stating that aside from Quentin, it would be the best D possible.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 16, 2010 -> 09:40 AM) I'm going on Saturday night, and I'm treating it like the World Series. This was a fun team to watch for most of the summer, and they earned my respect. The Twins are just too damn good this year. They are very good, as they usually are. Couple that with their run as of late, well, the Sox had no chance. It has been a fun ride though.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) They should have a rule about the amount of visits you can have as a catcher just like they do for a manager. He is terrible. You know it's bad when Steve Stone makes sarcastic comments about it.

So far two great episodes of Terriers. Looks like another winner for FX.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 16, 2010 -> 07:26 AM) No, the lesson being you can't neglect a huge part of your team, the DH is a position, for 130 games under the assumption you will just pick up somebody and they will come in and mash. $4 million is way too much for Manny. He's a shell of his former self. I would also bet that the reality is KW isn't a big fan of having to bend the rules based on how many homers you have hit in your career. BTW, Manny hasn't been an elite hitter since he came back from his suspension. Maybe its just coincidence, but his slugging pct and batting average are identical for the White Sox, he's here for a month, and halfway through is still looking for an RBI. Kotsay has hit .333 his last 20 games, so the reality is Manny wasn't even an upgrade. Unfortunately you are 100% correct. I know the argument of the rotating DH situation has been season long, but I can't see how anyone would not agree that it at least had a hand in this team's overall disappointing performance. Granted the first two months may have set the tone for the season, and everything but the bullpen was bad. I just hope the team goes into 2011 with a DH, not an idea of 3, 4, or 5 guys who could be a DH once in a while.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 16, 2010 -> 01:39 AM) He's also good at being a good guy, which is admirable and fine. Just get him off our team. Maybe in the winter somebody will bite on him for a bag of chips. It's his contract that will make him hard to move. I can't see many teams wanting to take on that money and give up anything for him.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 16, 2010 -> 12:54 AM) 12 to go? I was under the impression we had like 18 to go....? Yeah, I had to break out a schedule to make sure. It'll be 16 after today's game. But, 7 or 9 back with 12 or 16 games is daunting either way.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 09:09 PM) It's because no on cares about the Twins. Seriously. You mean nobody in Detroit? Because a lot of people in Chicago care about the Twins.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 09:08 PM) I'm not sure if it's possible to be a bigger douche nozzle. I was going to say something along the same lines.

Time to let Morel play.

THere it is.

Miracle comeback?

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 08:58 PM) no. I look forward to their early playoff exit. As do I.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 08:50 PM) Because people think this is the worst season ever and it's all Ozzie and Kotsay's fault. Not the worst season ever, but one of the most disappointing and frustrating...in recent years anyway.

My daughter is watching Animal Planet and there's a guy getting eaten by driver ants. Somehow watching that is a lot like watching this team lately.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 08:47 PM) I would disagree. Why the f*** would we fire Ozzie over this?

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 08:45 PM) sweet alcohol is calling you. . . *glances nervously at the fridge*

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 08:43 PM) The Sox must disagree since they dealt some pretty f***ing good starting pitchers the last few years. So what starters do you want to deal? Who replaces them? I know ... Clayton Richard, Hudson, Gio ... oh wait. they aren't with the team anymore. You guys want to blow up the rotation as well? That makes no sense unless the "rebuilding" means being the Royals the next 10 years. I don't think fathom was saying he wanted the rotation blown up. He was stating a fact. And having Richard, Gio, and Huson in the rotation right now wouldn't make it any better.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 08:41 PM) At least it would've been funny to mock CQ had it been his fault. Ah, I could see the play being shown on ESPN over and over. Quentin chasing a ball around like it's a greased piglet.

This team makes me want to drink. Must...wait...til...Friday.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 08:38 PM) I was gonna type "I feel better" but no. I don't. HR is a HR.

QUOTE (daggins @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 08:36 PM) Just want to chime in that although I don't usually buy into a lot of intangibles talk, it's really frustrating to see a good team wet their pants so bad against any rival, let alone a divisional one. Main reason i'd call for major changes this offseason... Twins are in these guys heads. I wouldn't believe it if I didn't see it every game of every series with Minny. Yeah, it certainly seems like they are in the Sox heads. And it just looks like the Twins win effortlessly.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 08:34 PM) Uhh... not watching the game but I look at the box score and I see inside-the-park home run? To RF... geez, f***ing Quentin No, it was deep. Real HR.
