You misunderstood. To skip Cotts this week, required both Colon & E-Lo pitch on 3 days rest this weekend. Considering they would get 5 days rest before their next starts it should be workable.

Ok. I can accept juggling the rotation for better matchups vs rivals. JUGGERNAUT as mgr: COTTS vs any one that we've beaten MB=R @ NYY (4 days rest) JG= F @ DET (4 days rest) EL= S @ DET (3 days rest, followed by 5 days rest) BC= S @ DET (3 days rest, followed by 5 days rest) @ DET is an important series because they swept us there last time. Mon = off MB=T v BOS JG=W v BOS R = off EL= F v CLE (5 days rest) BC=S v CLE (5 days rest) NC=S v CLE MB=M v MIN (5 days rest) JG=T v MIN (5 days rest) EL=W v MIN BC=R v MIN NC=F @ BOS MB=S @ BOS JG=S @ BOS M = off EL=T @ MIN (5 days rest) BC=W @ MIN (5 days rest) MB =R @ MIN JG = F v KC NC= S v KC (Better to have him pitching at home v KC than @ MIN) EL = S v KC BC = M v NYY MB = T v NYY NC = W v NYY (chance at redemption) JG = R @ KC (5 days rest) EL = F @ KC BC = S @ KC MB = S @ KC (Could be biggest game of year)

Can you spell M-O-M-E-N-T-U-M? Some of you seem to forget that this is a game played by men & emotions play a MAJOR part. The SOX lost 7-5 with Cotts spotting the Yanks 4 runs. The evidence is overwhelming that if Wright or Buerhle start this game the SOX win. Why? They tagged Mussina for 3 runs. They tagged the BP for 2 more including Nelson. Now imagine both the buzz & MOMENTUM that would have swept over the SOX if they had swept the Yanks. Manuel killed all that & for what? He's never heard of a pitcher going on 3 days rest followed by 5 days rest? Idiot extraordinare.

Manuel screws the Magic Numbers SOX: 163 - 71 - 62 = 30 KCR: 163 - 69 - 63 = 31 MIN: 163 - 69 - 64 = 32 Is there any good in Manuel's blunder today? See Manuel serious thread. As far as this thread goes .. :fyou Momo Manuel! <- JM's brainless skull

I looked into my crystal ball for 2004: Konerko+Koch to LAD for Gagne+(1 of Jordan or Burnitz)+cash LAD will want the SOX to pickup 10MIL worth of salary in Gagne+. Can you say World Series? 2K4 Bullpen: Wunsch->Gordon/Marte->Gagne : Best in the Bigs Gordon&Marte will be 8th inning dudes. If it's Burnitz -> DH/1B If it's Jordan -> any OF

They love ROCKY Biddle up there! They chant ROCKY when he's ab & when he's pitching.

He's got NL written all over him. All the walk boys go to the NL. A certain sCrUB is famous for dem walks.

Here's what J Momo was thinking: The off day on Mon squeezed the rotation. E-LO's next start: W,R,F,S = Sun Colon's next start: R,F,S,S = Tues Garland's next start: M,T,W,R = Fri Buerhle's next start: S,M,T,W = Thurs J Momo's thoughts: Do I pitch Cotts today in a series we've already won or so I pitch him in Det? Now this illustrates Momo's short attention span. Otherwise he would have realized that next week has 2 off days. Any decision to pitch Cotts means 2 starters will get 5 days rest. Any decision not to pitch Cotts means 2 starters will get 3 days rest followed by 5 days rest. The Momo's "everybody plays" theme song evidently dictates policy. JUGGERNAUT as mgr: NO COTTS MB=R vs NYY (4 days rest) JG= F vs DET (4 days rest) EL= S vs DET (3 days rest, followed by 5 days rest) BC= S vs DET (3 days rest, followed by 5 days rest) Mon = off MB=T vs BOS (4 days rest) JG=W vs BOS (4 days rest) R = off EL= F vs CLE (5 days rest) BC=S vs CLE (5 days rest) MB=S vs CLE (4 days rest) JG=M vs MIN (4 days rest) NC=T vs MIN EL=W vs MIN Strongest argument: DW has pitched 12 in in STARTER's relief for COTTS. DW could have pitched at least 4in betw EL, BC's short starts. J MOMO as mgr: EVERYBODY PLAYS! NC=R vs NYY (loss of DW for relief in DET series) MB=F vs DET (5 days rest) JG=S vs DET (5 days rest) EL=S vs DET (4 days rest) Mon = off BC=T vs BOS (5 days rest) MB=W vs BOS (4 days rest) R= off JG= F vs CLE (5 days rest) EL=S vs CLE (5 days rest) BC=S vs CLE (4 days rest) MB=M vs MIN (4 days rest) NC=T vs MIN JG= W vs MIN (4 days rest) Strongest argument: They look tired. I hope the 4 starts on 5 days rest don't mess up their rhythm.

ME SOOOOOO HAPPPPYYYY!!!!! ALC Magic Numbers: SOX: 163-67-61= 35 MIN : 163-66-61= 36 KCR: 163-65-61= 37 Baseball has not seen such a close divisional race in MANY a year! Party hardy dudes & smack the Rangers with Cotts on the mound! And for you sCrUB fans back a REAL team! SOX .523 winning %, sCrUBs 516% :fthecubs Magic Numbers SOX: 163 - 69 - 62 = 32 KCR: 163 - 67 - 62 = 34 MIN.: 163 - 67 - 62 = 34 I hope Manuel doesn't screw this up! 15 gms shaved in 15 days. Nice.

This is not about SUV's it's about mpg's. http://www.greenercars.com/12mean.html If a car you wish to purchase is on that list, you don't give a s*** about the environment, victims of terrorism, or the fate of the planet. As long as the World continues to increase demand for gasoline/oil the Wahhabists in Saudi Arabia will continue to fuel terrorism with their unending control on the price of oil world-wide. If you really care about the victims of terrorism you'll direct that sympathy & compassion towards you next car purchase. http://www.greenercars.com/12green.html

AROD thought cloud (Man, we really suck. Maybe I should have signed with the SOX).

TEXAS seems clueless at the Cell this series

Jurassic is stealthy tonight. 2 SB's!

Koney is looking clueless again.

I like Sully His pitches dance across the meat part of the plate. He's fearless & he's not prone to give up walks. A perfect acquisition for arguably the SOX most glaring need. KW

It must be the movement on his pitches that is so deceptive. I'm going to have to get use to a guy who throws pitches across the meat part of the plate. Very rare on the SOX!

That was a MAJOR stinger winger!

Me not impressed. He's throwing too many pitches down the middle. You might be able to get away with that in the NL but not here in the Big Boys League.

They optioned someone back last night. I think it was either Adkins or Burke.
