QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 07:19 PM) With the exception of perhaps Peavy when healthy, the Sox have no pitcher higher than a #3. None of them are dominant. Hi, my name is Edwin Jackson and I am the pitcher of the month for August.

There is another big HR from Andruw Jones!!! SUCK IT GREG!!!

Buster_ESPN Heard this:Right now, the Dodgers' intention is to not just dump Manny on the White Sox;CWS must make it worth their while with a prospect And the saga continues....

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 06:09 PM) I'm going to go with "2 run home run". I loooove it when you analyze.

QUOTE (bobryansson @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 06:03 PM) Rios watched 2 seemingly hittable pitches, but missed with his swing at the one over his head. He really needs to be hitting around 6 or 7 right now.

Damn, I thought for sure Alexei would get 2 bases on that.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 05:51 PM) JDINAA John Danks Is Not An Ace?

Alright, I guess it's Lucas Harrell time.....ugh.

Andruw says "Here is your opposite field hit, Sox talk haters!"

Seriously, how many HRs have we allowed to players who aren't HR hitters? It's unbelievable. Brian Roberts, Orlando Hudson, Denard Span, and all these other scrappy slap hitters hit bombs off us. It's really annoying.

Here come Fuentes for the win. Oh the drama!

Up to Branyan!

Brandon League looked pretty damn good. They just showed his post-ASB numbers, and he has a 0.42 ERA. Damn. 1 ER in 21 1/3 IP.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 03:59 PM) Seattle's offense makes me appreciate ours. Hell, Mark Kotsay would be one of their more dangerous hitters. Thanks a lot, I just threw up on my keyboard.

Shaun White is good at snow boarding, skateboarding, surfing, and apparently baseball. I'll take it!

At least Jose Lopez appears to be trying at 3B.

Well, in this Twins game so far, Thome and Hudson have both left with injuries. Thome's was a strained back, and Hudson's was a sprained ankle. Both are day-to-day I believe.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) Yes, when I go overboard and say the Sox will get swept, they do well, etc. When I feel we will win, losses mount. I probably should stop it. Jinx = opposite outcome happens Reverse = opposite So, a reverse Jinx would be two opposites, so in fact, it would not be a jinx or reverse outcome at all......

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 03:43 PM) so when will the results of who was selected by who come out? I guess in about 2 business days if they are still on the team, or traded. I'm not the claiming of a player is always public. I wish it was, but I guess it's very possible that we may get Manny and Downs or Frasor on the same day.

Rosenthal has some interesting comments..... Ken_Rosenthal Another possibility on Manny: He wants $$$ to waive no-trade, neither team will give it to him and Dodgers are saying "If u won't go, u won't play." That is only speculation. More inclined to believe trade is in works.

Manny is not in the lineup for the 3rd consecutive game..... I am pretty sure they are just trying to keep him for injury at this point.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 02:32 PM) I think KW probably would have at least claimed Fuentes considering the shambles the bullpen is in if he didn't possibly have over $4 million possibly tied up with Manny. I am still thinking he grabbed one of the 4 Blue Jays relievers that were claimed.

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 02:52 PM) Just heard on the Score that he needs Tommy John surgery after the MRI showed a torn UCL. This sucks. we now only have Sale as a lhp out of the pen.

From Peter Gammons' twitter..... pgammo One club's defensive metrics has Alexei Ramirez "far and away" the best defensive SS in AL this season.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 10:14 AM) I'll take Jackson but I really think that pitchers can thrive with weaker stuff in the NL. I don't know why I just do. That's pretty obvious considering that NL teams substitute a great hitter (DH) for a non-hitter (pitcher), and usually build team around less power and more speed.
