QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 06:20 PM) I'd like Manny around now. Have to believe he's given his blessing if they're talking players.

isn't patterson hitting like .800 vs. Burls?

had him 0-2

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 04:58 PM) I assume you mean, the option to claim him wouldn't get to the Twins? Actually, I believe that all teams get to make their decision on a player, and then they sort through who made a claim, and pick the team that is highest on the claim pole. So, the Twins can make a claim, they just won't win that claim if an NL team or an AL team w/ a worse record makes a claim as well. That I don't know. I think if the Sox make a claim on him and the teams before them pass then that's all that matters. Then it's a matter of whether the Dodgers pull him back, let him go or work out a trade, as you know. But there's no time limit on that, just the 3 days that a player can stay on the wire.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 04:17 PM) Another quick question about waivers. Do they wait until the 48 hours are over to award the claim, or just until all teams have submitted a response? I would think a team like the Twins would wait until the last second to make their decision so the Sox have to wait longer to get Manny into the line-up. I find it hard to believe he was placed on waivers today, and the Sox have already been awarded the claim. but it wouldn't get to the twins if the sox put a claim on him, right? it's reverse standings, first NL then AL, if i'm not mistaken.

so who goes away to make room for Manram? Kotsay? Lilli? I predict Andruw Jones, which would disappoint given his defensive skills late in the game.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 01:31 PM) Luckily Buehrle is going to tonight. I hate missing Tosh.0. "I'm going to tongue punch your mother's fart box then read a book."

i have a bad feeling about Thor. He said the other day it isn't good. I fear we may have lost him for the season.

phew, valencia hit one to the wall

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 07:18 PM) You're right, you and greg and others NEVER speak in absolutes. Bunting with a runner on first, no outs just is not working at all. I cannot believe there is anyone still trying to argue otherwise. it's pretty surprising that he still calls for it. then again, should they make it to the playoffs, being able to execute the small things can mean a lot.

f*** the warning, bring in sean tracy

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 07:10 PM) guy who caught the ball talkin trash to the cf that was pretty funny. i'm officially over "don't stop now boys"

that'll make up for it, gordo!!

young, yes

that's a shock, since that always seems to work out

seriously, our hottest batter is bunting. I LOVE YOU OZZIE!

nice play, old man

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 06:56 PM) Time to get Gavin out of the game!! This should be Sale here. w/thor down, he's probably waiting as long as possible. s***, i bet he doesn't even have anyone up.

markakis kills us

that was easy. this offense looks so f***ing anemic. I know guthrie's been good this year, but c'mon

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 06:47 PM) Twins tied it, and look to take the lead. Casilla seems to get so many big hits for that team. and valencia. that guy's going to be haunting for some years to come.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 06:42 PM) Just missed one....1/30 of an inch away from a bomb

bases loaded, no outs, 1 run. white sox fever - don't catch it

golden boy f***s us square in the ass

that's such a huge failure right there
