QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 9, 2010 -> 12:34 AM) Cy Bonderman??? 32 pitches thru 3 innings. Is this team ever going to hit a home run again?

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Sep 9, 2010 -> 12:31 AM) Okay, but who would take him? Well, at least you'd figure we'd get nothing back for him. I'd glady take getting his contract off the books without getting talent back.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 11:27 PM) I am having some serious doubts about whether Teahan can play 3B. Is Joe Crede available next year? I said it yesterday, but Teahen needs to go this offseason. He's just a terrible fit with this team, and is making way too much money for someone that doesn't appear to deserve to be starting.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 9, 2010 -> 12:18 AM) Five pitches three outs. Awful. Bonderman, who is pretty much awful, making it look way too easy.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 02:58 AM) That's a big bunch of whopping f***ing bulls*** (as it was when he was here). He's valuable because his OPS is about 1000. Fathom, not picking on you -- just have never believed that crap. I would agree with you on 99% of the players...but Thome might be the exception. I enjoyed hearing the story from Hudson about how Thome bought clothes for all of the younger players last season.

Any word on Manny?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 09:52 PM) In his last 590 AL AB, Thome has 44 homers, 125 RBI and 119 BB. I don't know how you turn that down for $1.5 million. KC annnouncers talked for 5 minutes today about how valuable Thome has been in the Twins locker room.

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 01:57 AM) So, I'm going to the last game of the Twins series in like a week and a half. I really have no idea where this team will be in the standings at that point. Thoughts? 5 games out would be my guess.

QUOTE (dmbjeff @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 01:54 AM) viciedo looks to be the only real hitter out of the last 3 i think. morel and flowers i think will be bad. Morel looked beyond brutal during Spring Training, but his swing looked a little better in that AB (despite the 2nd pitch). Flowers is pretty much awful...it would be a real surprise if he ever did anything in the majors. I don't exactly view Walker as the Don Cooper type where he can get a lot out of an underachieving mega-talent.

Ah, a fine representation of our minor leaguers this inning. Stone basically saying someone messed with Flowers swing for the worse.

I'm puzzled as to why someone that likes to act like he's a hard ass is so scared to retaliate when our hitters get HBP.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 02:41 AM) Speaking of Manny, anyone notice that he stopped hitting the day that Stoney said that Walker was making suggestions to him about his lack of power? I was wondering why the Sox were making so many comments about Manny's lack of power. Everyone in baseball knew that he had turned into a different type of hitter once he got off the PEDs.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 02:39 AM) Good riddance to Torres. I never want to see him again. f***ing pathetic. If it makes you feel better, Ozzie hates him.

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 02:38 AM) Yeah, hate to say but I'm losing faith. And that makes me sick. Unlike the last decade though, I don't feel bad about losing out to the Twins. In the past, the Sox were the more talented team. This year, that's not even close to being the case. They're 25 games over .500 without Nathan all season and without Morneau for almost 3 months. You tip your cap to them if they end the season with 95+ wins.

Wow, PLEASE let this be the last time Torres ever pitches for the White Sox.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 02:34 AM) So we lose a game in the divisional race, the wild card race, and possibly our 5th starter. Awesome. And maybe our DH for a few games and our 2nd baseman for possibly an extended period.

Free Infante!

I've always wondered how bad the hitters in the IL must be for Carlos Torres to get them out? He throws that terrible 87 mph cutter every pitch and it's consistently up in the zone with little movement.

Looks like Torres was supposed to hit Wells there. Hopefully it's the end of Torres in the Sox organization.

Ozzie better have Torres throwing at a Tigers hitter.

Worst thing is this just means Kotsay will find his way into the lineup tomorrow with Manny out. And please, don't bat Teahen 5th. One of the weaker 5th hitters in the AL in a long time.

4 batters retired, 3 homers allowed for Manuel. Is he in the Majors due to a Make-A-Wish agreement?

Ok Ozzie, even if it's not intentional, STICK UP FOR YOUR PLAYER

QUOTE (La Marr Hoyt HOF @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 01:19 AM) Is Kotsay the worst in baseball? Without a question... Funny thing is he's gotten enough hits to not have an abysmal batting average. However, he does a lot of stuff that hurts your offense. He can't hit with RISP, he's a horrible base runner, and is allergic to having productive outs.

Is Kotsay and his .175 batting average still the worst in baseball with RISP?
