I don't know what to say, this is messed up.

So the latest on Manny is that we will find out by the end of the day who put in a claim if any. There is some press out there saying that Dodgers who won couple of games recently might not be willing to give up Manny anymore because they are 5GB in the NL wild card race now. And another source claims Manny and Boras will try to use the NTC to guarantee a 1 year extension for 2011. Stuff got a little complicated, however I have a feeling we will know much more by the end of the day.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 08:01 AM) A little info related to this... Looking at the past few years, Manny has almost identical numbers against LHP and RHP. Further, in 2010 so far, he's actually hit righties significantly better than lefties. I guess that's why Kenny who was looking for a LH bat would have no problem having RH Manny in the lineup

Why was the game thread so short? I know people weren't at the game looking at the crowd Anyway great team win, Jax = STUD.

Hail to the King14.

Nice catch by Pierre.

Ibis Guillen ? I would.

Jax is a stud, money bulls*** aside

Pitch a gem Jax.

Beastly after ASB, finally firgured it out. Love me some Gordon Beckham.

Does any NL team really want any part of Manny roaming in their outfield? Manny is a DH everyone knows this, Manny knows this, that's why he wants back to AL.

There is something to Hawk's theory that bullpen plays a huge role in today's game.

The word/rumor around is Manny is willing to come to Chicago White Sox, not sure about going anywhere else, he likes Ozzie.

Threets and Harrell, there isn't anyone else ready really..

What did Omar do?

Loded for Pierre, let's hope Beckhams hand is alright

Gavin doing whatever he can to get those hitters out

C'mon Gavin!

Jones out of the game.

Meanwhile Rangers tie it up.

Gotta look at monthly splits but Gavin usually evaporates come September

Latest on Manny from SunTimes.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 05:24 PM) Charlotte is a stellar hitters park. Birmingham is a pitcher's park. Morel has hit well in both. Showing a bit more power in Charlotte but this explains it. Any chance he plays 3B for the Sox next year? Maybe an ideal 2nd hitter?

So how about this Morel kid, many loved him before me being very skeptical but the kid is having hell of a season? Is Charlotte more of a hitter or pitchers park?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 05:11 PM) I want to be the first to call bulls***. When the hell does Kenny's stuff go public to this extent? Either the Sox are trying to force someone to claim him ahead of them, or Kenny is trying to hide who he is really after. This is not like the KW administration at all. I think he is after Manny and Manny wants to be here. Kenny just said character plays less of a role when there is 30 games left in the season.
