Hawk rarely questions anything Manuel does. So u know Jerry f***ed up if Hawks got something to say about it. f*** Manuel :fyou No I don't KNOW Manuel f***ed because Hawk said so. Hawk has an opinion, like everyone else. He's neither right nor wrong. Hawk was once of the opinion the Tony Larussa should be fired. He's gone on to win nearly 2000 major league games. Hawk's opinion on that one has been proven to be wrong. This opinion may also. Lets not forget Hawks wonderul reign as GM............... Not forgetting. After all, not only was it his opinion LaRussa should be fired, Hawk was the one that fired him. LaRussa should have been fired. Sure he's won 2000 games, but look at the teams he managed. He won 1 World Series with an Oakland team that was head and shoulders above everyone else talent wise for at least 4 years. He's married to Dave Duncan, who was the real reason Hawk fired Tony. Hawk wanted to can Duncan, but LaRussa said if you fire him , he'd leave, so he just canned them both. If you think Manuel tinkers, he's a pure amateur next to Tony.

Twins winning 2-1

17 walks in 13.1 innings. I think he'll be good one day, but that day is in 2005 at the earliest.

This is exactly right. The goal is to win 2 games. What JM was saying is he didn't have enough confidence in Buerhle to beat Mussina, so in essence he conceded today's game. The goal should be to win today and tomorrow, the best way to do that is Buerhle vs.NY Cotts vs. Det. This was a gutless move by JM which could backfire into something far more serious. On a positive note, Wright pitched well, and the Sox had a chance at the end.

One question though...how is he eligible since he's received money as a professional athlete. It it simply because he earned it playing another sport? a few guys have gone from playing minor league baseball to college football, because it was a different sport they are still considered amatuer.

After what he decided there never will be enough threads ripping his ass

My mistake, my screen was wrong. That's why Rivera didn't bunt.

Why didn't Rivera bunt? I like it.

the dreaded lead off walk. Hold em here Damaso

JM sucks

We are not going to lose to new york today

he will shut them down, and the Sox will win this game

I wish Koch had those numbers

for all the problems Rivera has had he still has nice numbers.

hopefully, Rivera's troubles will continue

Harris has to steal here.

zone him in, dial him in and light him up

one time Tony G. give em a thrill

Harris has to pinch run here, or will JM use Buerhle

pinch runner?

Everett's on fire.

What do you see for the winning lottery numbers?

I agree. It's what's best for the team, not what's best for Buehrle. He'll get his chance to pitch in Yankee Stadium when it counts. Plus it's only 5-3, the Sox haven't lost the game yet. lol so cotts being started today against the yanks in the midst of a pennant race is whats good for the team??? come on guys your not serious here are you?????? that was probably the worst thing that jm and company could have done.. not only did they mess up our chances of winning today but they may very well have ruined any clubhouse attitude with everyone being pissed off about the decision and being forced to take sides on the decision..........this is not something you do when your going for a division title and playoff hopes........... AMEN

Buerhle had his usual rest, he should have been in there. There is no guarantee Buerhle will win tomorrow at Detroit. Cotts was like a deer in headlights at Yankee Stadium. Veterans are intimidated there. Buerhle wanted the ball, you give him the ball. Who knows, maybe he would have been awful today too. But give yourself the best chance to win. The psyche of this team would be unbelievable if they had a sweep in New York. It wasn't fair to Buerhle,and it was fair to Cotts, who is not ready to pitch in the big leagues, let alone Yankee Stadium.

Carlos..........look like a baffoon?...........................................nah...............
