Come on Mariners pen!

QUOTE (GREEDY @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 10:46 PM) Am I the only one that remembers how far $4,000,000 would have gone this past off-season? I am not against acquiring Manny and I realize that it would boost jersey/ticket sales but this is just something to think about. I just feel like it's possibly too late, and that there will be no interested in the Sox even if we have Manny if the upcoming road stand goes poorly.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 10:47 PM) Bout time I say to pretty much look to next season, hope Ozzie is gone. Not much hope we are gonna catch the Twins if/when they get Morneau back. Let´s just face the hard facts, we absolutely sucked balls against the cellar dwellars this year and it has come home to roost. We're below .500 against the AL this season, and showing no signs of going on a run against teams in our division. I really feel like this team overachieved big time during that 26-5 stretch, and it was destined to be an 80-83 win team all season.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 09:43 PM) That is how special he is though. You aren't the greatest closer in the history of this game for having good stuff all the time. He can be horrible in a save opp. and still get the save giving up 1 run (maybe 2) minimum. I thought it was funny that Hawk was suggesting there could even be an argument about who the best closer of all time is.

QUOTE (Real @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 09:41 PM) This team has no balls. They have the balls...just not the ability.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 09:39 PM) f*** manny, f*** this season. what a pathetic home stand. If Twins hold on to win, it's pretty pointless to bring in Manny.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 09:39 PM) You mean we could of PH'd him even after taking him out? Odds are he wasn't getting a shot if he stayed in. I was talking about Castro

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 09:38 PM) Rivera saving that one was as automatic as it gets. Like I said I've NEVER said that on this site, oh we will lose this one before the game is over. Mariano Rivera is clearly an exception to that rule. Sad thing is he had nothing today. That was as vulnerable as I've ever seen him against the Sox. Quite simply, you can't have lefties face him. They have no chance.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 09:37 PM) f*** you cervelli, you little punk What he do?

Haha, pathetic by Omar. He had no chance against Rivera. At least our most dangerous hitter besides Konerko was still on the bench.

Twins leading 1-0

Jeez...Beckham seemed to be running in quick sand. Castro should really be batting for Omar here.

Knock it off Juan. First and third them!

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 09:34 PM) I think that 2-2 pitch was the best pitch a member of the White Sox has ever had to hit off MO. He had 4 great pitches to hit in that AB. Nice he drew a walk, but he could have tied it up.

Damn, he jammed himself. Quentin's not coming close to clearing his hips on his swing, and thus it's hard for him to barrel-up anything.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 09:28 PM) that play just earned him a spot in the lineup for the next week Weird replay, as he reacted down the line on the swing and then had to recover. Was as outstretched as he could be.

Well done Ozzie having CQ hit!!

And Hawk just came in his pants. Nice play Mark!

Haha, Manny Ramirez just got ejected during an at bat. First pitch was outside during the AB, and he turned around and argued. What a trainwreck.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 10:18 PM) Man... its gonna be hard losing 2-1 like this. I never say this (oh were gonna lose before the game is over) with any other closer in the league... except Mariano Rivera. We need Beckham to take an outside cutter and line it into the Yankees bullpen.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 10:14 PM) Well, it's very comforting to know that we have Teahen leading off against Mariano Rivera... Not a chance in hell he should be allowed to bat. It better be Quentin or Castro.

Alexei trying to do way too much at the plate.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 10:09 PM) Some people like to complain about things after the fact. Cause I wanted to keep Konerko in the game in case we tie it or Konerko bats against Rivera in the 9th?

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 10:08 PM) I am too but I don't see exactly what Ozzie did wrong there. We just give away too many damn outs. Joba must be very quick to home, as it's not like Lillibridge had a bad jump there.

Nice swing by Andruw there...no idea why they didn't throw him a 3-2 offspeed pitch.
