We really can't afford extras, heart of the order coming up in the 9th.

What did Lillibridge do on his way home?

Tigers up 3:0.

Teahen!

Leadoff walk, hopefully Masterson starting to lose it.

Man up and put a 3 spot on the board.

AJ had no chance, just brutal, what's Masterson's pitch count?

QUOTE (Real @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 07:43 PM) When was the last time quentin didnt swing at a pitch? He was actually pretty selective in 2008, now he just swings at everything.

Hail to the King. Hit a double Quentin.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 07:34 PM) good move here - the dude is starting to look like the hafner of old, and that's a very scary thing. fathom would say he's found a new supplier.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 07:33 PM) So I take the Dodger didn't get Morel for Manny. no, straight waiver claim.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 07:29 PM) You forgot about Morel. He's been on fire in AAA as of late. I could see Morel at 3rd next year with Viciedo at DH/1B and Teahen getting some playing time at all three spots. I could see that working out but DH/1B would have to be big power guys.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 07:14 PM) I'm not exactly looking forward to what our offense will look like next season. Depending what happens with Paulie I think we're 1B/3B away from a great lineup.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 07:13 PM) But we've got Tyler Flowers and his 35% K% and .769 OPS at AAA to look forward to next year. He needs to repeat AAA and either rake or find himself a new job.

Manny being Manny. Posted this in the game thread, a bit different perspective at Manny, and if he is or isn't a clubhouse cancer.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 06:56 PM) There is no denying that Q has the ability to be an absolute force in the lineup and given the possibility of Konerko being. gone our offense is going to need another bat. I still take my chances with him next year, he's due for a raise but it don't think it will be huge, he's arbitration eligible. (altough I could be mistaken)

Jax pitching over leadoff double, again.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 06:52 PM) What is going on with Quentin. He's totally streaking offensively and outside of his hot streaks he's a pretty easy out and defensively he's been horrendous. I wonder if the Sox will move him this off-season since he'll be due a range. At the same time, you know the tools are there for him to just be a completely dominant offensive player. I just don't want him to leave and go all 2008 on us, he can be a monster when he's on. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 06:52 PM) Generally when a guy is a bad LF, he will be a bad RF. Quentin is no exception. Agreed.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 06:48 PM) Awesome. So we win the claim almost a week ago and Manny still has yet to play. This probably won't end well. Manny is going to play tomorrow, let's not spread unnecessary panic and this is meant to costa not you J4L.

Give this man some run support.

Great.

Kotsay grounds out to 2nd, while Manny is snoozing in the dugout, life is good

Not sure if I like the approach vs Masterson here, he will walk the world if you let him.

Ramirez and Ramirez chit-chattin in the dugout.
