You think JR is cheap, Pohlad was getting revenue sharing checks that were higher than his payroll. And Pohlad is a F'g Billionaire!

Well, it's better to find out how s***ty are paper-mache rotation is now then in the post-season. KW in case you're watching, Colon .. Mr. Beefy? ... he's the only sure thing pitcher you got. Better do what you can to keep him. Even if it includes trading Maggs.

Only if you clear the wall. It's a pitcher's F'g park in that hellhole so I doubt it. Crede K's on a ball so F'g far off the plate Crede nearly fell over. Dips***.

He survived another inning, so I'll give them another inning to score. But this is the last F'g one! 9 outs left to score on Rogers. I think even the Tigs could score on him.

These rotten Twinkies are tailor made for this hellhole. Quick on the carpet, strong defensively, & adept at hitting ground ball hits. CONTRACT THE TWINKS! CONTRACT THE TWINKS! CONTRACT THE TWINKS! Make them play in a REAL ballpark! Garland you suck. The more that rides on a win, the less you produce.

9 outs till we get to Hawkins. Oh joy.

We are a HORRIBLE carpet team. We absolutely suck in domes. I hate THAT cheap pc of s*** dome. Would someone please blow up the Metrodome?

It's time to clean house. We got a bunch of stat padding losers on this team.

WTF? GARLAND needs smelling sticks? I'll give them 1 more F'g inning to score a run.

GARLAND GROW SOME F'G BALLS! You pathetic pc of puke. I'm out of here. We're F'd. Colon will win, but WTF diff does it make? Time to put in a call to Mr. Soprano. Heavy betting against the Twinks vs Tigs. A Mobsters dream.

F'g GROUND BALLS RULE HERE! Why can't the F'g SOX figure that out? Just F'g hit the ball on the F'g carpet & you are likely to reach base. CREDE you s***head. You're nap time cost us another run. 2-0 rotted Twinks.

NOW THAT's A STRATEGY! PHYSICALLY BEAT THE s*** OUT OF THEM so they can't play their A TEAM vs the Tigs.

CREDE WAKE THE F UP!

WTF? JON you can't throw in the dirt on this s***! Get a F'g brain!

That's the F'g game degents! Maybe we could borrow some players to the Tigs for their series vs Twinks.

Well they play 81 games on that s***. They should know every bounce by now.

This absolutely sucks! Rogers crusing through the 3rd! WTF? WAKE UP SOX! HIT THE F'G BALL! In case you didn't notice you are playing on a carpet. Ground balls rule. Swing down. Not up.

Can you change the F'g logo? The Twinkie is the first thing your eye catches. You have to look over to see Lee. I hate Twinkies! I think we should ask Moochpuppy for his Piss on Twinkies animation.

I know he has to play SS tonight, but why doesn't Manuel have the balls to tell him to go up there as a LHB? Why doesn't Manuel tell him the team comes before you. The best chance for the SOX to win is if you are a LHB.

Jerry you are pathetic. Val is hitting .141 as an RHB & you have him in tonight's game. Are you just F'g stupid or what? I thought I told you he either is a LHB or he sits! What part of that don't you understand? Manuel :fyou

Is anybody interested in chatting tonight? SS, I have a suggestion. Do you think we can have a separate forum for just game threads? It would be nice to be able to read through a game if one of missed one.

And fer crying out loud, stop harping on E-LO's 1-0 losses! ALL TEAMS HAVE POWER OUTAGES & GO THROUGH SLUMPS. OVER THE COURSE OF a 162 GM SEASON that evens out. I'm sure both KC & Min have had their share as well. Of course they have REAL managers that PLAY THEIR A TEAM nearly every night. I'm sure our dips*** Manuel's tinkering played a role in some of those loses. Don't make me look it up. This season sucks because KW put together a team poised to win the division & go far. But because we have a s*** for brains manager who has a problem with playing the A team every night it's going for naught. To the WHITE SOX at every level: DON'T LET MANUEL MAKE OUT ANOTHER F'G LINEUP CARD!

I'm so right now I could put my fist through that image. I LOATHE the very sight of a twin.

CLE has played MIN tough this 2nd 1/2. Min vs CLE: W6-L6 3 left Min vs DET: W5-L1 7 left Magic Numbers: SOX:149GP:80W-69L = 14 MIN:149GP: 80W-69L = 14 KCR:147GP:76W-69L = 18 No blunders for Manuel this time. In a tight game to stop a 3 gm losing streak you stick with Colon. If he doesn't start Colon vs Lohse in gm 3 then I can beat him up again. Best news of the day: SOX will NOT FACE SANTANA! Gardenhire must think Pulido can not beat the Tribe. Milton starts today. Santana MON. Thank you Tribe for playing the Twinks tough to where you consume a Santan start. Prediction: The first team whose MN dips < 10, will win the div. I was debating whether to do it but I think I should. Min vs CLE: W7-L6 2 left Min vs DET: W5-L1 7 left Magic Numbers: MIN:150GP: 81W-69L = 13 SOX:149GP:80W-69L = 14 KCR:149GP:77W-69L = 17 I am praying the SOX get to 10 first. Min vs CLE: W7-L6 2 left Min vs DET: W5-L1 7 left Magic Numbers: MIN:151GP: 82W-70L = 11 SOX:150GP:80W-69L = 14 KCR:150GP:78W-69L = 16 Manuel , for playing Olivo Sandy might have made a difference in this game. Do the SOX deserve to win the division? SOX: OPS 779, OPS vs 729 MIN: OPS 769, OPS vs 749 KCR: OPS 766, OPS vs 796 SOX vs LH: OPS 824, OPS vs 739 SOX vs RH: OPS 763, OPS vs 704 KCR vs LH: OPS 794, OPS vs 825 KCR vs RH: OPS 750, OPS vs 776 MIN vs LH: OPS 728, OPS vs 758 MIN vs RH: OPS 787, OPS vs 747 That's all the proof you need that the main reason the SOX are not winning this division is Jerry Manuel. Pena & Gardenhire have far outperformed Jerry in the X's & O's of the game & that's why they have been able to overcome teams with clearly less talented players than the SOX. Oh, and just so I make this pefectly clear: S Alomar JR vs Radke: 333A, 333O, 622S, 956OPS. 4HR, 7 RBI. Manuel :fyou & any one who makes excuses for you!

There is history that suggests the SOX will fit a mid 60 payroll. The attendance for 2003 will likely be close to 2000 if the SOX can win this Twinks series. That will keep them alive to boost the walkups. Now considering the price increases in both parking, concessions, & tickets there's no question the revenue will increase over 2000. KW was able to convince them to increase the payroll to 65mil in 2K1 with the Wells signing. So I don't think it's a given the same is not possible with a Colon signing. It all comes down to what Colon's agent will be asking & what NY wants to do. I've heard Wood's name mentioned as the heir apparent in NY for Clemens. There is talk the scrubs will not offer Wood a big contract but rather pick up Clements option for 6mil. NY will seek a marquee fan gathering player to replace Clemens. I think Kerry definitely has the nod over those credentials vs Colon. Likewise I don't see Boston as a player. They have to pay Pedro the big $$$'s.
