QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 03:51 AM) lol. Like who? I'd rather they run some random fans out there then some of our pathetic minor leaguers. Viciedo should be playing the rest of the way, same with Morel. Sale and Santos might as well get shut down the rest of the season.

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 03:51 AM) Second best? Don't forget about Detroit and we couldn't beat Cleveland or KC. The Sox could headed for the dark ages unless they spend their way out of this. And the likelihood of that with Reinsdorf and his cohorts are non existent. Reinsdorf is not a sportsman. He's a businessman who runs a sports organization. Championships don't mean anything to him. It's about making money for the real owners, period. KC is in a good position to pass us up if they can find some pitching. They have 3 of the top 5 prospects in the minor leagues. Cleveland isn't close to taking another step though, as their pitching is really bad. Tigers will almost definitely be in the 2nd slot in the AL Central next year with some huge FA additions and a team based around Cabrera, Jackson, Verlander, and Scherzer.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 02:49 AM) Take away May, and he's been pretty ordinary. And he makes too much to be just ordinary. yep...for as hard and unlucky as he hit the ball the first few months, he's been the exact opposite since the ASB. Balta was so freaking right about trading him when his value was high. His contract is going to be such an albatross.

Thornton allow like 6 runs in his last 1/3 of an inning vs Twins?

What's Rios' WARP since the ASB? I would say he's been our worst every day player, but stats probably won't say the same.

Wow Rios...most overrated defensive player I've ever seen on the Sox. Rowand was better than he was.

QUOTE (chiguy79 @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 02:44 AM) I bet they win ~87 games, 6+ .500 is not what I am looking for, especially in our division when we should be cleaning up against KC/CLE and Detroit has been a minor league team the 2nd half...and we got smoked by Baltimore. The Twins have been good and deserve the division but if we didn't hand the twins numerous head-to-head games this year we would be right there. Statistically, did we have the easiest interleague schedule in all of baseball? 12 games vs Cubs, Pirates, and Nats have to get us in the running.

Something about seeing Cooper's smug face as our pitchers are getting blasted really raised my blood pressure there.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 03:42 AM) After this series, really no need to play Manny any more. Next. He'll keep playing to justify the 175k he makes per game.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 02:39 AM) Faded down the stretch? lol Fathom love you but you're talking out of your ass right now. Jackson had one bad start (the most recent one) and the one before that was "OK" (7.1 IP, 4 ER, 6K 1BB). If he has another bad start yeah I guess maybe you could say that but he's only had one. One. He's been hit extremely hard in his last two starts. Might have been in the game thread the other day, but Jackson's next start is pretty important to see if Cooper can fix some of the issues he's having (including possibility that he's tipping his pitches, which I don't believe).

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 03:34 AM) He's left 6 people on base. What a joke for 4 million. I bet he ends with no RBI for the rest of the year. I feel like Manny has hit one ball hard all year, and that was against Valverde.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 03:36 AM) Well some of you got your wish when Danks drilled Young. Too bad it cost them the game. And in true Sox fashion, it wasn't intentional and surely didn't hurt at all.

AJ, feel free to call for an offspeed pitch when the Twins are expecting a fastball. Young needs to get hit in the f***ing back here, and not this intentional walk crap.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 03:32 AM) His bat speed is that of a declining 38-year old. Makes me appreciate Thome more than I do (which isn't as much as most on here), as it probably proves that Thome was powerful the natural way instead of enhanced.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 03:29 AM) Dick Allen, you were right. The Manny acquisition had disaster written all over it. Not bringing in a lefty hitter is simply inexcusable. One of KW or Ozzie has got to go, and I used to say it would be a travesty if Ozzie was the one who got to stay, but I honestly think KW has sucked worse than last two seasons.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 03:29 AM) Perfect. The White Sox have absolutely sucked with the bases loaded against Minnesota in the 2nd half. Sadly, our best player has sucked the most of anyone.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 03:29 AM) The negativity of this fan base is truly inspirational to our players Our players have one foot on the golf course already. The stupidity of some of our fan base is truly embarrassing to the internet.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 03:28 AM) I like how the team with "nothing to lose" is extremely tight-assed. Dude, you should have seen how loose the played in 2005!

Haha, you're a disgrace Manny. You somehow managed to go from one of my favorite players to watch to one of my least favorite players to watch. At least the crowd is booing this pathetic effort.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 03:27 AM) c'mon manny, you're due. Great post considering the estrogen fertility treatment he was on!

Konerko's had 4 huge ABs vs Twins this year in gigantic situations, and has failed all 4 times. Crappy timing in an otherwise great season. Also, can we drug test Crain right now? This is pretty comical with regards to him.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 15, 2010 -> 03:23 AM) Using the Grant Balfour method. J.C. Romero as well.

They have Konerko set up for the slider now. Gonna be tough for him to get the runner home.

98 mph for Crain? He must have worked out with Juan Rincon again.

Whew, nice eye after the break on the 2-2 pitch.
