We may see Manny yet.

Yeesh.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 08:32 PM) I'm sorry but this is hilarious, Manny just brought in 3 runs without even batting. It's actually quite great. Just the threat of him had that douche pitching like a p****.

AJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please no DB AJ. We've waited so long for this!

Not so clueless!!!!

Clueless Quentin time!

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

Nice steal, Alex.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 08:17 PM) 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) I can't wait to go to a game just to buy one of those wigs and post a picture of myself on facebook.

If the 7-spot comes up in this game again, we see Manny.

Mannypalooza is going to begin with a game-winning RBI.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 05:02 PM) I never said I don't care if we win. I said I don't care if Manny plays and that shouldn't matter to us beating a s*** team like Cleveland. I said if we can't beat Cleve. w/out Manny we don't deserve to win the division. What are you talking about? QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 03:52 PM) With the Sox, you never take any game for granted. It's not like Manny is assured of pulling a Rios and going 4-for-5 tonight. His stats this year, in fact, suck. I wouldn't mind seeing him in the lineup, but I could give a s*** if we win, anyway. It's not like his presence assures anything. Did you mean that you didn't care if he doesn't play as long as we still win? The way you wrote it implies you don't care if they win or lose. If it's the former, then you conveyed your message incredibly poorly, and may keep your White Sox card!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 04:42 PM) Why don't you read all my posts if you are going to judge my position on every topic. I said all along I want him to lead us to wins. I said since he's a one-month rental we should use him for all we can in that regard. I may think he's a selfish bum and am not happy that he is allegedly a roider, but my position has been that I hope he leads us to the WS title. I don't want the Sox to lose just because he's one bad apple of the large roster. In near successive posts you said you didn't care if we win, and that you want a division title. It made no sense and you got called out on it. Anyone who could say "I don't care if we win" should turn in their card.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 04:37 PM) I dont know why anyone thought it would be different. I think people are just frustrated because we've basically known about this transaction for a month, and known it was a done deal since Saturday. It keeps getting dragged out, and we want our Manny. You're entirely right, however, I have seen other players jump into games with much later arrival times. Ozzie is coddling Manny, and we just expected a tad more I guess.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 03:32 PM) Really? The cheesy monologue with the road going by? I thought it was a drag, and i thought the final showdown sequence before it went way to long. And LOL at T2 not being cheesy but T3 was. One may like T2 better - it had better visuals and better pacing - but T3 was much more somber, much less comic, and really couldn't be described as "cheesy" even if you don't like it. You need to watch it again. You could not be less accurate. Do you not recall the image on the left from that film? There was so much cheese, so many lame jokes, SUCH bad acting throughout T3. It was a complete joke, while T2 was completely dark and had some truly touching moments as well. I completely disagree with you on this one.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 04:13 PM) Yes there was. There was a flight that left LAX this morning at 715 AM and would have arrived at 245 PM. The flight he took left at 6am and he arrived AT THE BALLPARK right around 3pm. Clearly he got on the flight(s) that would get him to Cleveland the soonest.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 04:16 PM) I never was a Carl Everett guy. Why am I the world's worst White Sox fan? I've followed the team a long time. When I lived in Chicago I had season tix for many years. I went to games in the old Comiskey regularly and was joined some seasons by about 5000 of my closest friends. I was there for September games when the team sucked and the stadium was empty. I'm against the Manny acquisition. What do you want me to do, lie just to be liked? I hope he leads us to the division title. Sorry that I don't think his absence in the lineup tonight if he doesn't play is a big deal. But I am not the world's worst White Sox fan. You are the King of Contradiction. What changed in those 24 minutes?

You clearly are the world's worst White Sox "fan" if you don't care if we win or lose... Oh, and Manny has very good stats this year. Your posts are tiring, repetitive, and predictable.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 03:38 PM) This is part of acquiring Manny Ramirez. You take the good with the bad. But I absolutely understand not playing baseball on a day that he flew from LA to Cleveland. +1 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 03:38 PM) there is a day game tomorrow Good point.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 03:33 PM) OK I missed something here - what press conference? The press conference that Joe Cowley was just talking about on The Score that happened a bit ago.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) What does that even have to do with anything? That's just Cowley doing his usual Jay Mariotti imitation. Dude went to high school in New York. I've heard him speak English just fine... no reason not to give the Press Conference in English.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 03:29 PM) Well, if Cowley is indeed correct (which is not a safe assumption), then that's a third scenario I hadn't considered - Ozzie may be sending a message to Manny to get in line. Because Manny takes that kind of stuff so well.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 03:28 PM) Two co-workers seem convinced that Manny will indeed be in the lineup tonight when its actually game time. And that KW is calling Ozzie right now saying "WTF are you doing?" I doubt that. Manny forgot how to speak English on the flight over according to Cowley.
