QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 05:18 PM) Thanks Seattle! The Twins played the Mariners toe-toe and the Sox did the same to the Yanks. I actually think the Sox outplayed the Yanks sans the Danks and Pena attempts. I still do not think the Twins are all that great and really struggle on the road. I am fine with 4.5 back now go get Manny.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 03:43 PM) Goodness, he has no power anymore. Please move him from the #3 spot!! I think above all less the inconsistency of Rios and Quentin are the reason this team is treading water. Neither did anything yesterday and one is not even in the game. If this team is going to the next level next year those to need sustained productivity.

Bears may not win 5 games this year

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 07:44 PM) Trying to get Danks the win? He pulled him once he got people on this inning. Do you really trust this bullpen to hold the Yankees down? If you do, I have a Tony Pena to sell you. Start the inning with a reliever as Danks never had it tonight yet Guillen wanted to get him through five and now Edwin Nunez is having a career day.

Guillen likes Pena a whole bunch

trying to get danks the win was a bad ozzie move

Danks will never be more than a really good #3 until he figures out how to throw consistently good strikes he always seems to be effectively wild.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 01:43 AM) Why can't teams just dump players to the white sox? Why is it always this drama of them trying to steal us blind like Dunn??? Fuentes will be with the Twins today....this does suck.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 04:33 PM) Why? Guillen is the reason the Sox are in desperate need of a DH

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 04:30 PM) Trust me, Kotsay does most of the embarrassing when he is at the plate. No one is better at embarrassing Kotsay than Kotsay himself. They should chant Manny when Guillen comes out of the dugout to replace the pitcher.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 04:29 PM) See this I can respect. Same with what Balta said earlier, I respect posters who hated Manny before and will still not be a fan of his here but will still cheer for the team to win even if you feel dirty about it. Same with people who hated Bonds and would still hate him if he was here. I can't stand the flip-flop posters. Great post Greg. I loved Ramirez was disappointed that he got caught but I think he is the most entertaining idiot in baseball.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 04:20 PM) yea. . this dude will help us if this thing gets done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFucYoAq_YU If you watch that video look at the score of the game it seemed that they were tied or losing when he hit most of his home runs.

QUOTE (Real @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:18 PM) I was at that game, ultimately we got revenge a few months later and the season ended pretty well too Wasn't this in 2006?????

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:10 PM) Come on haters. You're telling me that when Manny launches a 420 foot bomb to dead center, while giving it his patented stare, you won't be going bananas? I remeber Joe Crede dropping an easy pop up and Manny hitting the next pitch about 400 feet to stright away left field. He crushes the ball in the cell and is as big a big game player as there is in baseball.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:08 PM) Paul Konerko is the ultimate professional. He does things quietly. He is a hero. A good role model IMO. I agree with you 100%.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:04 PM) If Manny is beyond criticism, why did somebody say Farmer always blasts him? My position is not unique. I'd prefer to not have the bum on my team. I personally would want to boo him in his first plate appearance then cheer for him because he is only one player on a team. I don't like what he stands for. He flaunts his me-first attitude more than most players. Frank Thomas, Paul Konerko equal great hitters and class. Manny? Great hitter and a bum. Please stop talking about Frank Thomas like he was a beloved player. The Chicago media and the White Sox were not big fans of his. he is now trying to make up for this in attempt to stay relevant. Again, I am a huge Thomas fan and loved what he stood for in regard to steroids and hitting but he was not a class guy.

Do people not realize that Konerko is having almost as good a season as Joey Votto? I hit Manny 5th, you need that speed in front of Konerko to see the fastballs which he is crushing.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:47 PM) I hope some people think long and hard before making such posts iike this? People, don't out yourselves as people who condone cheating and all that? Don't make me lose faith in humanity more than I have. My god. Think before you post. CHEATING IS WRONG!!! What are you trying to prove here? I get your point you don't like PED users but than you need to stop being a fan a baseball as there is no way of knowing who has and has cheated. The "clean" Sox never existed as Jose Canseco was a member of this team. It is a part of the game and the Sox are just trying to win as that brings people to the game not that and only that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:40 PM) Mauer and Morneau? Ok. Boof Bonser

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:36 PM) trade could of been done and agreed. but, also dodgers could just wait do deal by tuesday What does that get them? He has been on the DL three times this season one more trip and they are out $3M.

QUOTE (buckweaver @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:28 PM) I couldn't agree more with this first statement, as I wrote a couple days ago when this rumor started sprouting legs. But the 'roid-raged posters flamed me, too. I didn't know after acne, head growth and testicular shrinkage came diminished typing abilities; you learn something new every day. The question remains whether to remain fans of Chicago's entry in the World Baseball Federation, formerly known as the MLB. Bringing Manny aboard is, in my opinion, very different than acknowledging that all teams have been part of the steroid era. This is a guy suspended 50 games LAST YEAR for PEDs. To the comment about A-Roid, I would guess plenty of Yankee fans would love for Alex to just go away, as I and others would really like for Manny to just stay away. Victory claimed by cheaters is hollow at best. There is as much speculation about Rowand as anyone. How is he doing in the clean world of baseball and how does this make 2005 feel for you if he is guilty.

Lilly will be claimed by the lowest NL team still in the race.......s*** the cubs could claim in and I think they will

Kotsay hasn't played in a week. He will be taking AB's from Teahen and Quentin. He will play everyday at DH until he is hurt or the season is over. Quentin or Rios will sit before Manny. I think Kotsay does to the DL.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:18 PM) I'd like to think they are honoring Thomas for his performance and his class. He is praised throughout baseball and rightly so, for accomplishing his feats, without steroids. If Manny is here the same night Frank is honored ... that will be hilarious. Why are the Dodgers so eager to get rid of Manny? I thought less than a year ago he was king of LA? I hoipe this is just for a month and the bum is gone after that. They are not honoring him for his class.....the organization and he clashed on may occasions they are honoring him because he hit the s*** out of the ball that is all. I am a huge Thomas fan and love all that he did but he was not a poster boy for the organization. The media and team hated him...he also wanted Belle on the team over Bonds when Bonds was clean.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:16 PM) Rotated 90 degrees. Albert Belle worn it and he does lay down a-lot.
