Get a run . No extra innings again please.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 06:03 PM) We have given Cleveland two outs this inning. God f***ing damnit. And when Masterson seemed to be hitting the wall.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 30, 2010 -> 09:58 PM) Thornton will be back on Saturday. I just don't see JR adding additional salary for a Fuentes type with a big, bloated contract. It's definitely not going to be another LH with Sale and Thornton down there. (This was KW's argument for NOT blocking the Fuentes move to MIN). And with Linebrink actually pitching admirably tonight, there's an argument (albeit MINISCULE) against adding another RHRP. Thornton back by the weekend is good news but that still 4-5 days and games away., No Putz , Threets out for the year, a tired Santos, another extra inning game tonight leaving Pena, Harrell and Torres. Pena and Torres recently pitched like 3 -4 innings apiece. I'd feel much better with another pitcher.

Manny is money when he's going for the money but can his body still do it ? We really need a Minny mini-slump to get within 2 games fairly soon. Can't hover around 4 or more back for too much longer. It's a tough row to hoe right now with the pen in shambles.

I went to dinner with my daughter with the Sox up 6-3 and Buerhle still in. Came home to see it was 6-6 in the 10th. Shocked by Lilli's HR as he practically hit it one handed and wasn't a big swing. Then the bigger shock of Linebrink's 2 perfect innings. He might be moved ahead of Santos at this point. Bring on the Manny salary drive and pray for a surprise waiver pickup of a reliever.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 07:19 PM) Did anyone boo Swisher tonight? Would any of you boo him? I don't usually boo my TV.

Big game Freddie !

Also Teahen in the 8 games he's played since he's been back.

Sox got a lot of hot hitters all of a sudden Rios, Konerko, Alexei, Pierre, Beckham (though he's cooled off the last few days).

Scottie Pippen holding the Stanley Cup. You don't see that every day.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 06:41 PM) alex wincing in the dugout after that hard slide Mitre landed on top of him.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 06:37 PM) thats a lot of info in one line I aim to please .

Mitre wild pitch Rios safe at home ! 9-2 many gift runs today !

Rios steal Cervelli throw into CF Q scores Rios to 3rd ! Cervelli is having a bad game back there.

Rios hit 7-2 Sox 1st and 3rd 1 out. RBI 74. That's it for Burnett , Sergio Mitre in. Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey Goodbye !!

Pierre and Omar coming though after walk to Beckham.

Nice throw Swisher !

5-2 without a hit.

AJ's been hot I feel a hit coming.

Cano flys out at the wall to right center Rios tracked it down.

Freddie K's Jeter and gets Texeira to pop out.

Stealing at will on Garcia.

And now he gets a hit. damn it.

That looked like strike 3 on the steal.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 26, 2010 -> 12:57 PM) According to Fangraphs, this is Andruw's best offensive season since 2006. He has been worth $3.8M this season, and yet we are only playing him $0.5M. Conversely, Mark Kotsay is having his worst offensive season since 2007. He has been worth -$2.9M this season, and yet we are paying him $1.5M. Jones is playing $3.3M ABOVE his contract, and Kotsay is playing $4.4M UNDER his contract. That's a difference of $7.7M between the two. Pretty damn obvious that acquiring Andruw Jones was actually a very solid move for $500K. He is not good enough to be our full time DH, but he is a fantastic option off the bench. So that means if we get Manny, Jones will be the one who goes.
