Where was that pitch!

There is 1. 2 more Scott.

Threets out of the game with some kind of injury, unbelievable, hope Liney brought it tonight.

Rackem up! Is this Linebrink-proof lead?

BIG GAME FREDDY folks!

2 more Freddy!

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 08:59 PM) I've never heard any whispers that that's the case. I think he knows that nobody is going to sign him to an extension right now, and just wants out of LA (and into Chicago). Manny has told some sources he would and he's told some he wouldn't use the NTC to bargain for an extension - reported by Ken Rosenthal earlier today.

Juan Pierre now batting .283 with .350 OBP clip after having a terrible April.

PS, i just remembered, Castro no longer catching Freddy?

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 05:40 PM) I think I read somewhere that the Dodgers were planning on waiting until Tuesday to make a deal just in case their wildcard fortunes changed between now and then. Don't they have a limited time to make a trade happen, though, since he was claimed and didn't pass through waivers? What is that time period, if it exists? Sorry, I'm at work avoiding the boss's eye, no time to read through everything. 2 business days, but Saturday and Sunday don't count hence deadline is Tuesday at 12:30PM.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 05:24 PM) No it's not. He could be a PTBNL, but absolutely will not be. No one from 40man roster could be a PTBNL, anyone from 40man roster would need to clear waivers themselves, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Pierre, lf Vizquel, 3b Rios, cf Konerko, 1b Quentin, rf Pierzynski, c Ramirez, ss Teahen, DH Beckham, 2b

QUOTE (WCSox @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:45 PM) Thanks. It's a gamble (is he even healthy yet?), but $7M isn't too ridiculous, as long as they don't give a top prospect in return. It's acutally around 4. ~$1M left for this season and ~$3M in deferred salary making it ~4M total.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:34 PM) Except that exploiting loopholes in one's tax returns is completely legal. Bad comparison. I don't have time to read all 100+ pages of this. Do the Sox owe Manny anything after this season? About $3M in deferred salary from what I know.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:07 PM) Pierre Rios Manny Konerko Quentin AJP Ramirez Vizquel Beckham I like that as long as you dont bunt with Rios unless we're playing for 1 run.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:01 PM) No way does Rios deserve to be the 4th hitter. He has 3 HRs since the ASB. You're right, you bat your power guy cleanup. Paulie 4th, Rios 5th? Any chance Rios bats 2nd ?

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:59 PM) Where does Manny land in the line-up? Third? Fourth? Pierre LF Ramirez SS Ramirez DH Rios CF Konerko 1B Quentin RF Pierzynski C Vizquel 3B Beckham 2B fap fap fap

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:55 PM) Also, he isn't on steroids right now....so what difference does it make what he did 2 years ago? There is a rumor he sucks with 'em.

There is a lot of booing and negativity on facebook in regard to the news of Sox claim Manny. You would think average facebook fan wouldn't care about Steroids, any chance he gets booed if he plays for W Sox ?

Let's wait and see if Manny is in the lineup, if deal was close I doubt he'd be playing.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:30 PM) Huh? Where did the Lilly part come from? I don't think KW's going to mistake Ramirez for Lilly. One of my earlier posts. Rosenthal confirmed Lilly has been put on waivers today.

Ken_Rosenthal #Dodgers GM Colletti covering his bases. Could trade or dump Manny on #WhiteSox. Could trade Lilly. Could do nothing. #MLB

Radio station in LA saying deal is done? Manny to Sox, Sox pick up most of the contract, LA gets PTBNL. JUST A RUMOR. #whitesox - some guy on twitter.
