QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 30, 2010 -> 01:03 PM) That's quite a stretch. There are other guys KW could have acquired than this bum. I'm all for him helping the team win. I'm just glad Sox fans are keeping an open mind and not embarrassing themselves by having some catch phrase like Mannywood for his arrival. He should be treated as just another guy. I wish that WGN announcer would tell the Boston media of that story about Manny in the hotel. Maybe they'll look into it if the Chicago and LA media don't want to. It has to be untrue. No human being would do what that story alleges. Mannypalooza.

Now that I start to think about it, maybe it's better than Manny doesn't come until tomorrow so no one will have to be removed from 25-man roster tonight, meaning they take 10 days off, and I think it would also make them ineligible for the playoffs. So from the team standpoint, maybe it's a good thing. But I really wanted to watch Manny on WGN.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 30, 2010 -> 01:54 PM) I hope that Manny story about the dump is true because to tell such a disgusting story if not true means that WGN radio announcer is a wacked out idiot. If it is true, the media should flush that one out (ha). That story MUST be printed. If Manny did that, he truly is the most disgusting human alive, OK ONE of the most disgusting. If that story is true ... Manny is disgusting human waste. Obviously the money means something to the Dodgers. They have to be rejoicing today, getting some team to pay that bum for the rest of the season. Sometimes it's hard for me to understand why you even post here. Everything the Sox do seems to piss you off, so maybe, I don't know, not posting would give you a lot of stress relief???? Just an observation.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 30, 2010 -> 01:48 PM) No. I want him to play tonight. I agree. Talbot dominates us, and plus, this game is on WGN, which means just about every single Sox fan has access to watch the game, whereas Tuesday's game is on CSN and others, like myself, won't be able to watch.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Aug 30, 2010 -> 01:47 PM) I thought the Dodgers would've wanted Gilmore, since they don't really have any 3B prospects to speak of. But at the cost of $1.5M? Not sure a prospect of Gilmore's caliber is worth paying $1.5 to get.

BNightengale #mlb #whitesox #dodgers Manny waited for deal to be finalized before leaving for Cleveland. Flight lands tonite, but too late for game.

QUOTE (Real @ Aug 30, 2010 -> 01:30 PM) IMO you need to find a lineup that punishes a pitcher for pitching around konerko or manny, manny 3, konerko 4, quentin 5, rios 6, imo. Right, that's why I posted the lineup that I did. Manny-Konerko-Quentin-Beckham-Rios.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 30, 2010 -> 01:44 PM) What? How is that possible? There must be a ton of flights going in to Cleveland today. And I would have thought he would have flown into Cleveland last night or this morning since it was a foregone conclusion.

Yeah, I wonder what number he'll wear. Hopefully not #24 and screw over Viciedo. I assume he will rock #99, but maybe he will go with 66 to be clever.

BNightengale #mlb #whitesox #Dodgers The Dodgers rejected the White Sox's offer and simply let Ramirez go on a waiver claim Apparently Kenny wanted to give them Jon Gilmore in return for $1.5M. Not surprised the Dodgers said no.

BNightengale #mlb #whitesox #dodgers. It is now official. Manny is a White Sox!

I would do..... Pierre Alexei Manny Konerko Quentin Beckham Rios AJ Omar/Teahen

JimBowdenXMFOX DHernandez reporting that Manny will waive no-trade even if he's not compensated....Scott Boras reporting his client should keep mouth shut lol.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 08:28 PM) Kotsay may have hurt himself on that diving stop in the ninth today. Don't get my hopes up.

So who gets removed from the 25 man for tomorrow?

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 07:05 PM) So how much in cash would Gilmore be worth? $500K? Just guessing.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 07:03 PM) $40 a ticket, on average. 10,000 people. = $4 million. Concessions, parking etc on top of that. And a single playoff game...with nearly 40k paying $50 a ticket and also guaranteeing season ticket sales for next year... It doesn't take much in terms of publicity to cover $4 million. That equals $400,000 not $4,000,000

JimBowdenXMFOX WSox waiver claim of Manny Ramirez is now up to Manny and Scott Boras to waive no-trade...Dodgers agree to let Manny go without player comp

BNightengale #mlb #whitesox #dodgers Dodgers trying to decide whether to take 3B prospect Jon Gilmore and pay chunk of Manny's salary or take the cash 4 minutes ago via web

QUOTE (EMONEY @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 07:47 PM) Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. The two worst things in sports are cheaters and quitters. Manny's been verified as both. I can't believe KW is bringing that garbage to the South Side. Since I live in Colorado and can't do it myself, I'm paying for one of my friends to go to a game just to boo Manny for me Greg thinks your disgusting.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 06:31 PM) He's not on the 40-man anyways. right.

In talking with Morel, he basically said they told him he isn't being called up. He has Teahen, Vizquel, Lillibridge, and Viciedo all who are ahead of him, plus he is currently playing with a torn labrum. I would be shocked if they wouldn't just let him go home and start the healing process.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 07:16 PM) The delay in this is appalling. If we wanted Manny, he shoulda been here for the big NY series and definitely hould be there when we play Cleveland, another of the teams we sleepwalk against normally. Time is of the essence to wake up this slumbering team with Mr. Moody. Ok, so blame Ned Colletti.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 04:08 PM) Minny plays Detroit next. Detroit really has been playing pretty good ball lately. We play Cleveland. Its time to WAKE up vs the bottom feeders. There are 32 games left. Hopefully Seattle can hang on and help us out. We can't keep pissing away these opportunities. My hope is to go into that Minny series trailing 2.5 games which is still very possible! So yes I STILL want Manny! Oh yeah, I still want him to. This offense should be much improved if not at least inspired when Manny gets here.

Would have been really nice to have Manny in a game like today....
