Reminds of Wrigley's "left field sucks" and "right field sucks" thing. Yuckk.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 01:20 PM) Does anyone else have the sneaking suspicion that the Sox will offer Manny a one year incentive-laden deal? Nahh....

Yeah, something like a Club Card would be a great way to keep it exclusive because you could have it set up where someone in your group needs to be a member and show a Club Card to get in the section. And maybe some nickname of the group would be cool as well like the "Soxaholics" or something. Something that you could even make T-shirts for that show off the fact that you are in this group.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 01:04 PM) I don't understand why Manny gets this free pass about his "timing" not being there. I mean WTF? He's a veteran. And pressing at the plate? Again WTF. He's been at the plate many many pressure situations before. He's just not very good. He gets a big fat FAIL for his time in Chicago. Not to say he won't rock next year. Now that he's a former Sox I hope he does his rocking somewhere in the NL or AL West. He just came back from injury a couple weeks ago.

I'd support it.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 09:21 AM) And that has what to do with the draft exactly? You guys make 2-3 million seem like 20-30 million, with Beckham and Sale, I'm confident JR realizes you can't go bargain hunting in the 1st round. Yeah, he is not talking about no money for signing prospects, he is saying no money to sign a top FA, which means we aren't likely to lose a pick to a Type-A FA because we probably don't have the money to sign one.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 19, 2010 -> 11:58 PM) I don't want to see them lose, but I wouldn't mind a Top 15 pick at all. I agree. I'm going to root for us to win, but know there is a bright side if they lose.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 19, 2010 -> 10:29 PM) He's to the White Sox as Nomar was to the Cubs. I kind of wonder how many Dodger fans said this last year...... "Jim Thome just sucks. He needs to retire. Such a bum." Similar situations, except Manny has been better than Thome was.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Sep 19, 2010 -> 10:27 PM) Well guys.... the race for the 18th pick in the draft is officially on!! (sox currently are 19th and picks 15-18 is pretty close) What a crappy spot to pick from. Far away from the elite players, and far away from being a the picks that mean you were a good team.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Sep 19, 2010 -> 10:26 PM) Manny should just take the next Taxi out of town. Pathetic and useless. lol, drama queens.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Sep 19, 2010 -> 10:24 PM) You and the other posters should really take off that palooza sig. Nahh. I'm not going to give in to the "Manny should retire" "He sucks" "dump him" cult around here.

Greg is jumping for joy right now "THE BUM! THE BUM!!!"

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Sep 19, 2010 -> 10:20 PM) I hope Manny walks, and he gives Morel a chance to win the game. Would be cool/great/exciting.

LOL.

Dropped 3rd strike, triple. LOL

Brent!! What a stud.

Wow, Jon Miller was genuinelly worried about that pitch hitting Rios. Got VERY loud as the pitch sailed.... Also, Konerko in this situation makes me think he fails. He has been bad lately.

LOL, at least they are giving the fans still at the game something to cheer about.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 19, 2010 -> 10:09 PM) Only way I'd be satisfied with Sox re-signing him is if he tries to get pregnant again this offseason.

There ya go Morel! Please, PLEASE tump Teahen somewhere!

Ozzie is probably thinking the same thing that Leyland was thinking last night when he let Verlander throw 130 pitches or so..... "f*** it, it doesn't matter anymore"

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Sep 19, 2010 -> 07:38 PM) They really should find a sponsor for these always-exciting at-bats courtesy of Mark Teahen. Oy. He has a pretty smart dog named Espy, and apparently Espy is so smart that he has taught Teahen some tricks. The main one being how to "roll over", because that's all I have seen out of Teahen in 3 AB this game.

What the hell are they talking about? Alexei came back and stepped on the plate on his way to the Sox dugout....... dumbasses.....

Sports video games, watching sports, talking on forums about sports....um....yeah. Listening to music?

What are you doing Pierre? I could have robbed that HR. He was under it for like 5 seconds, and then didn't even jump. He had enough time to jump and sit on the wall and catch it.....and yet he didn't even jump on a ball that landed about a foot over the line.
