Of COURSE I'll be there. Heading there straight from Lake House weekend in Lake Delton with a bunch of friends, and have a fantasy draft following. My head might explode from this weekend's awesomeness.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 02:03 PM) It happens. As tough as it will be, just gotta get over it and move on. Better than wondering all the time and trying to hide your chubby.

Cardinals might be putting in a claim.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 02:41 PM) The White Sox. They need a DH who can also go to the mound in late innings and give up less than 3 runs. Holleeeee sheeeeet the Manny as pitcher joke is already playyyyyyyyyyed out.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 02:36 PM) Basically NL teams. The Sox are the AL team with the worst record of any that are still in the race. Someone like Detroit might just to spite us, but $4 million is a lot of money for spite. No one in the West will. Toronto won't. I can potentially still see the Giants or the Braves rolling the dice on him. He can't possibly be worse than Jose Guillen for the Giants, for example. Yeah, as public as the White Sox interest has been, I'd be surprised to see Manny clear NL waivers.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 11:40 AM) when is the last time thornton pitched? Thome? or vs the Royals? He can be retroactively DLed and be ready in a few days, right? 8/17 was his last appearance.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 10:36 AM) Manny's motivation is a nice DH deal for next year.....oh and possibly facing the Yanks this weekend and Red Sox 7 times may be incentive enough..along with a playoff run. He also mashes at the Cell. If Rios is hurting, this is a no brainer. I don't see how that could be possible. Has he even hit waivers yet?

This is simply awesome.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 08:38 AM) That's a team that could be posed for a major dropoff this season. Tough year last year, lots and lots of locker room issues. Agreed. We can't really expect Brett to perform at the level he did last season, especially with his top two receiving targets likely out.

The great Oney Guillen is tweeting his fool head off. I believe "you" is talking to KW.

I wish my gym got the U.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 10:12 PM) I'm just relieved more than anything right now. Yeesh. Interesting choice of words.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 10:39 PM) How about our guy who stepped in for Hudson after he got dealt? Torres? Not awful.

This is bad news.

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 10:13 PM) Becks just said it in the postgame...we need the fans to be out there and support the team for these last 21 home games. One month to go b#$%es!! Picked up a few sets tonight.

Ladies and Gentlemen, your closer is back.

This bullpen is in shambles.

I really hate that we entered the season with Kotsay as our DH to begin with... I'm very frustrated that we have to pray that Manny's injured, old ass can clear waivers and the Tigers won't block just to hate for our season to be saved.

The Unstoppa-O's roll into Chicago. I can't wait for 3 straight 1-run losses.

QUOTE (buckweaver @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 12:14 PM) Or perhaps..."Watch Manny inject some life into the White Sox!" We become the Yankees when we sign a known cheater because it may help us win. As a 46-year-old lifelong Sox fan who grew up listening to my grandfather's stories of Babe Ruth playing at the old palace, I implore Kenny Williams not to bring Manny Ramirez to the White Sox. As I posted in another thread a week or two ago (and that's saying something because I don't post very much), I consider Manny as the poster child for all of major league baseball's ills: greed, steroids, lazy, selfish. No debate there's blame for the steroid era abounding, but when you're injecting a needle into your ass or having someone else do it for you, it's wrong and you know it. So the blame starts with the players who did it. I honestly would rather miss the playoffs without Manny than be in them with him. If the White Sox bring him in I'm not sure I can call myself a fan of this team...and just typing that makes me feel as though I'm losing an appendage. To each his own. I'll take Manny.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 11:53 AM) how do you know? names are leaked, but never released. He could be on waivers for all we know Well, that's a good point. Just from everything I've heard he's not on waivers yet. Maybe he is. I'm just saying this because we need him yesterday.

When would we even see him on our roster? He's not even on waivers yet.
