Wow, what a pathetic effort by the offense. As Stone said, "very bad base running". That's Ozzieball! Someone might want to tell our hitters to stop trying to pull every f***ing sinker Masterson throws.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:21 AM) There's no way we can expect PK to have a similar year in 2011 (IF we bring him back). And Pierre has overachieved. Like fathom, I'm not salivating over our potential offense for next year. Yep, an MVP caliber season from Konerko likely won't be duplicated even if he returns (I'm not quite sure where we're going to get the money needed for offensive upgrades and bullpen upgrades). KW is going to have to make a great trade with Danks as the ammunition.

Want to know the main reason Ozzie should have played Manny tonight? To get everyone to stop talking about off the field BS and get them to talk about his performance on the field. And yes, this hair thing is ridiculous. Who the F cares?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:13 AM) But we've got Tyler Flowers and his 35% K% and .769 OPS at AAA to look forward to next year. I'm not exactly looking forward to what our offense will look like next season.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 12:11 AM) Kotsay with another screaming liner but another terrific defensive play to rob him. Chased ball 4, and then Alexei with the brain dead decision to bunt with 2 outs, no one on. Bad, bad baseball.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 12:09 AM) It is really amazing how bad AJ has been offensively this year. He barely ever hits the ball hard. He looks like someone who's done with, with regards to bat speed.

Keep trying to pull that outside sinker AJP...you're going to be awesome when you're 65 and learn how good you can be.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 12:00 AM) He really is a pure DH. He's been horrible. Problem with Quentin is he's worthless on the road, and he is pathetic against LHP. I'm all for getting rid of him this offseason if he has any value.

I love the lack of urgency from Ozzie in playing Manny, yet he has no problems having our relievers throw multiple innings on consecutive days. I guarantee Ozzie would have been more proactive in playing Manny today if we were facing a LHP.

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 10:28 PM) Sarcasm? And did we really buy the wig stock from the Dodgers? Yes about the sarcasm, and I guess we tried to buy the wigs but couldn't.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 10:06 PM) Doesn't mean squat? Are you actually serious? It at least helps, come on man. He's no Carl Everett!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 08:15 PM) sounds like manny's decision: JD would be tired from a long night, and not a long day

People are underestimating how important it is to keep Manny fresh for next season. Also, no doubt in my mind Sox didn't want Manny to cut his braids. They might have publically said they did, but there's a reason they bought the wigs from the Dodgers.

More than anything, happy to win this game so there's more excitement for Manny's debut tomorrow.

Hell of a performance by Linebrink, and let's not overlook that fantastic play by Kotsay to end the game.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 04:16 AM) You must be thinking of Will Ferrell/John C. Reilly in Talladega Nights or Bake McBride. Sorry, it was a Michael J. Fox joke I heard on a roast.

Santos will not be the closer this season. Ozzie has ZERO confidence in him due to the infamous "wall" he believes Santos has hit.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 04:11 AM) I don't like Scott Linebrink in any game. 2006 High Heat Baseball disagrees

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 04:10 AM) She was the best when she was on that show with Michael J. Fox about the NY mayor's office...what was its name? Shake and Bake?

Hate? I think everyone agrees with you, but they know it's not going to happen. Can't really say I blame the Sox, as they have an idea of how often they want to use him.

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 04:03 AM) You mean...the worst case scenario didn't play out? At least rotoworld had the same speculation based on Beckham/Herm's reaction.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 04:03 AM) know what they call the sweat between Carla Gugino's bussoms? mt. dew. god she is sexy. I heard the other day she's going to be on Californication next season. Given their great use of Eva Amurri this past season, I'm excited to see her in a scandalous role.

Entourage has been decent this season, but there's been way too much Sasha Grey and tequilia. Urlacher had a cameo in this last episode...reports are it was supposed to last longer, but he got injured during the first scene and sat out the rest of the show.

For someone that wears contacts, I had a very hard time focusing with the 3D glasses on. I did not think Piranha needed to be in 3D though, as there were very few instances where I thought it improved the film (which I really enjoyed)

Wow, Rios hammered that. BTW, x-rays negative for Beckham!!
