fathom

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.

A better question is why didn't Teahen get to 2nd on that awful throw by Brantley? In that situation, even if they cut off the throw, you're ensuring the run scored.

Wow, great tag by Cabrera. Teahen must be really damn slow.

Hit-and-run time?

Way to go Teahen, but jeez Lillibridge...I don't need that blood pressure spike.

f*** me, I hate this style of baseball. And having Lillibridge run for Kotsay makes it so Manny can't hit for Teahen. Way to go Oz

Good job Kotsay...please don't bunt Ozzie

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:54 AM) And there's Kotsay. Ozzie should be fired. Oh please, Manny would walk and just clog up the bases.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:53 AM) Masterson's not that bad. He's always had good stuff, but you have to work the count against him. 80 pitches thru 7 is inexcusable. Of course, the pull baseball approach has been worse than ever so far.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:52 AM) Now that we're losing there is absolutely no excuse for Manny not to PH for Kotsay. As long as Masterson is on the mound, not a chance in hell Ozzie will do that. We've often said Ozzie would ph for Kotsay with Bonds in his prime.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:50 AM) Who's going to, sports writers? They're more or less professional cock suckers. That's true, they're too busy blaming Manny for everything bad to ever happen on this planet.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:46 AM) got a bad feeling about this inning It was just a matter of time. I guess Duncan got a good night's sleep. Lose this game 1-0, and Ozzie's ass better get roasted.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:46 AM) that first one was a hanging slider that had crush me written all over it What pisses me off is he took those two hittable pitches for strikes, and then seemingly gave up by swinging at just a terrible pitch. Ugh, I cannot wait for him to be gone.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 01:45 AM) Two of the worst every day players in baseball fail miserably. What a shock. Why did our hottest hitter besides Konerko have to get injured....and all the guys sucking seem to be getting more at bats than ever before? Free Castro!!

Seriously, what the f*** is this team doing tonight? AJP and Quentin with the worst consecutive at bats I've ever seen.
