Well that could have been a lot uglier.

14 balls, 6 strikes so far. That's not getting it done.

Just what the doctor ordered for a slumping offense. A terrible pitcher.

This could be an ugly at bat. Walk him?

f*** this. Get Pena warmed up.

Ugh. Where's Lucas Harrell when you need him.

This could be a long game. Twins up 1 in the 1st and still batting.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 05:47 PM) No one is going to claim Manny. I would normally say pass, but anything to get Kotsay out of the line up. I don't understand why Viciedo cannot DH. Maybe if they had a translator they'd realize his jokes and locker room antics are just as good for team chemistry.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 04:51 PM) Making an improvement trade and spending money and talent to do so didn't make much sense then, so why not spend a little more money a few days later. A little more money? Manny is a pretty big investment for a team that has been playing terrible baseball for the last 2 weeks and has a ton of holes to fill.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 04:50 PM) I wouldn't. They didn't trade for Peralta to cut salary. And since that trade they've gone what, 1-4 or something?

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 04:48 PM) I wonder if the Tigers would claim him.. considering all the injuries they've had.. who knows if they think they are still in the race or not. I'd be shocked.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 04:37 PM) I wonder if the Twins would have the balls to block. Based on their history it's doubtful but you never know now that they have the new stadium and tons of ticket revenue.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 04:32 PM) Until he's actually on your team, you never know anything official. All this s*** confuses me. Dunn was announced to be on waivers today. Did the Nats openly announce that or something?

So is he on waivers yet?

QUOTE (G&T @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 04:26 PM) Most importantly, that he isn't actually hurt. He's just being Manny. So what happens when Ozzie does or says something to upset him while he's here? He go into pouty, fake injury mode?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 03:55 PM) Konerko doesn't have to DH. The "he's old" or "he's tired" argument goes out the window because 43 year old Omar Vizquel is playing third and will be playing there TWICE today. Precisely. If anything you could make the case for Carlos DHing.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 03:45 PM) Im thinking about filing frivolous lawsuits until they hire me. I mean who doesnt want to hire the guy that sued the Sox for starting Mark Kotsay to much? In fact I think I could make a good case for a temporary restraining order against playing Kotsay. I may have to nominate you as one of the board members for the Impeach Kotsay movement.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:45 PM) Don't do it. It's not worth it. People always think they can handle this s*** and they never can. This

With today's early win we jumped over Boston in the AL standings.

I would not suggest going to a game and asking one of the ushers for a job application.

Bonderman a career 4.79 ERA in 16 games against us.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 03:06 PM) Pierre LF Ramirez SS Rios CF Konerko 1B Quentin DH Beckham 2B Viciedo 3B Castro C Lillibridge RF That's a pretty damn good looking lineup I must say.

I'll start caring about his walks if he ever cools down. Until then, swing away!

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:55 PM) I hope he get's a nap in between. Right after the Denny's early bird special dinner.

QUOTE (103 mph screwball @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 02:52 PM) Put in a waiver claim and offer them Jack Squat. Screw Washington! Play the Cuban Tank! Squat is putting up great numbers in Birmingham though.
