lol.

I guess I don't disagree, but if Rios doesn't keep hitting like he was earlier in the year, Manny would probably be best in thr 3 hole and maybe Rios would fit better in the 5 hole with less pressure on him. Depends on how you look at it, I guess.

WTF is that about???

I think Manny should bat third no matter what (at least to start), but that's just me.

I love it when Rios is hot.

Awesome stuff from Sale.

So far he has looked phenomenal.

WHEW, what a pitch...

RIOS!

BIG strikeout.

Where's Toby Hall?

No, not even close.

Hawk's getting antsy to see manram.

Also, talking about who will "protect" who? Bat Manny 3rd, Ozzie. It ain't rocket science. Use your f***ing head, will ya?

Woulda been appropriate that another former Sox woulda caused the damage there.

Oh, so now that Kotsay has a leg up statistically... NOW Ozzie wants to actually pay attention to the f***ing scouting reports/stats, huh??? f***ing unreal.

I frankly hope SO MUCH that Ozzie will be gone after this season. Seriously, If Manny isn't our DH from here on out it's a fireable offense; PERIOD.

No, I didn't... and it's actually quite exciting!

Why in the name of all that is holy would Manny be batting 5th in this lineup? If Ozzie bats Manny 5th... I'm almost convinced Ozzie WANTS to piss us off as fans, possibly even wants us to lose. Seriously, W. T. F.

I dunno about Rios batting second.

Well... whatever happens, we are 4.5 back and yet now I'm still excited. We really can still do this, totally. It's just a matter of WILL we? We'll see, but I have much more faith now than I did before.

I'm honestly surprised Kenny is bringing a player with the type of attitude Manny has here... but if it leads us to a Division title, I will be happy with it. I guess it's just a month, right?

Wow, TCQ in for Teahan. Ozzie actually has a clue for once.

We know better though, fathom.
