QUOTE (longshot7 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:36 AM) Becks is in Boston already. Who's she?

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:34 AM) Take that logic stuff out of here. There was NO Need for Ramirez to hit there. If bad happens and we need a stick later, then he's there...in the meantime we need someone to take the field and catch the ball. However, it's not like Manny's going to hit for anyone else besides the DH. That just seemed to go against what Ozzie likes to do, as he usually tries to get someone an AB to get them comfortable. Not a huge deal. I'm sure Chicago media will analyze if Manny gave a firm or weak hand shake.

QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:33 AM) Are we putting in Bobby? If Jackson is too tired I might just go with Sale if Jenks puts the first two on. Sale and Jenks should not be available tonight.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:33 AM) he's already in the DH spot he can't move to the field if im correct or no? He could, but you'd lose the DH at the other position and pitcher would bat.

As much as I'd like to give Manny credit, I doubt it caused Hermann to hang that offspeed pitch.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:32 AM) And if people are wondering why they kept in Lilli its because if they used Manny theyd basically have no one who could play 2b/SS/3b if something crazy happened. Tip of the cap sir for the thought...but Beckham could play in an emergency.

Why not let Manny get an AB? If you woke him up from his nap, you might as well let him swing away. I'm confused!

AJ!! Manny's protection should get all the credit.

This place will go nuts if AJP hits into a DP.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 02:26 AM) Just get hit by the pitch or something, A.J. Well done, but Manny historically sucks with bases loaded

Good, I didn't want AJ facing such an extreme sinker baller.

Quentin's going to get 2 sliders here...maybe he can bloop one down the right field line?

Wow, just wow...that pitch was 5 feet off the plate.

Good job Rios! Time for PK to hit the ball to the right side

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:19 AM) Come on fathom, you and I both know that's just crap. I've heard the same. Manny's not like Bonds where he's a total prick to his teammates.

Rios should steal if he can here. Konerko vs Smith is a bad DP combination.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:18 AM) I can't wait to go to a game just to buy one of those wigs and post a picture of myself on facebook. And then s*** on the floor of a Red Roof Inn.

If that was a Sox pitcher, he would have torn his back muscle.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:11 AM) Ummm, yah he already did piss people off today. And I just think it's the wrong move to pinch hit long time hard working Sock in Quentin, with goof off that no one respects. I still say that the Sox aren't overly upset he didn't cut his hair, if the wig rumor is true (and it appears it is)

Wow Edwin!

I know the Chicago media would hate to hear this, but the Tigers announcers just said that many of Manny's former teammates say he's one of the best teammates they've had.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:08 AM) Why do people keep knocking Manny? Ozzie decided not to play him, and its not unusual that a player who flies to a new club is only available for PH that day. Do people just want to be negative about Manny? Because I assure you he will do something to actually piss people off, but today is not one of them. I couldn't agree more, and it's not like he told Ozzie he didn't want to play.

If Beckham was healthy, this would be an ideal spot to use Manny.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:05 AM) And ordinarily it would have been a good baseball play. Cleveland somehow read it and pitched out. That's just baseball. The complaining about good, aggressive baseball in here is hilarious. Yea, it sucks they nailed Teahen, but it's still good baseball more often than not. Problem is it's not always good, aggressive baseball. Too often, it's careless. The league is on to Ozzieball, and that's why you see a huge plummet in our stolen base percentage the last few months.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:03 AM) Damnit. I actually don't mind running there, but Indians nailed Ozzie....did they pick our sign? Might be time to switch signs, cause Royals seemingly called pitch out every time we tried something. Either that, or stop doing a hit-and-run on the 1-1 count.
