QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 11:42 PM) in case you missed it, fuentes was traded to them evil twins this morning I think that's why he said it. We had a chance to win the claim over MIN, and we didn't do it.

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/08/down...ff-waivers.html It is not known who claimed any of those 4, but I would have to think Kenny claimed at least 1. I would really like to get Frasor or Downs if we could.

Still no Lucas Harrell? Figured maybe we'd see him in his blowout.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 08:51 PM) damn another injury you have to be kidding me ?

According to Buster Olney, Aroldis Chapman was clocked at 105 MPH tonight in AAA. I'm going to have to doubt that.....

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 08:24 PM) I don't usually boo my TV. Your TV has sound that comes from it, yes? Did you hear the fans boo Swisher?

Did anyone boo Swisher tonight? Would any of you boo him?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 08:47 PM) Somehow Cervelli has 10 errors in limited play at catcher. Considering the Yankees have the best record in the majors, it's looking like Boston will be only 4.5 game behind both the Rays and Yankees. They have absolutely no clue what to do with Burnett (7 ERA and no wins in August) and if Pettite can't come back, things will get very very interesting in the final 2-3 weeks. Nothing would dissapoint me more than to see the Red Sox climb back up and make the playoffs (outside of the Sox making it, obviously).

I take it a fan grabbed a ball that could have been a potential triple?

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 05:23 PM) I thought it was a scheduled day off. And besides, most people show up to the ballpark, even if they're given a day off. As Kalapse just said, it's his 2nd day on the bench now. So either he is in the process of being traded, or they are just keeping him out to avoid injury.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 04:40 PM) 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. Hmm, I don't know, I thought the way "around" that rule was to have a player used as a PTBNL, since he wouldn't actually be traded until the offseason anyway, where players can be traded freely (since there is no waiver wire in the offeason).

Manny not in line-up tonight, but IS in the clubhouse. Saying his goodbyes tonight? Would be awesome if he caught a flight to CHI tonight and was playing tomorrow.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 05:34 PM) Well, I mean, it's funny. If it was happening in Always Sunny or something, I'd laugh, but I'm just not into embarrassing real people who are doing their best and failing. Ok.

QUOTE (tpezz27 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 05:30 PM) Manny not in the Dodgers lineup tonight.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 05:20 PM) Totally agree. The man losing his job should be punishment enough for his performance, especially considering he's been put in the position to be ridiculed. If he'd been playing his proper role, I doubt anybody would have cared. It IS very classless to rub this guy's nose in it when it's only partially his fault. I'd be pretty disgusted if our fan base pulled something like that. Oh man, you two really need a sense of humor....

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:16 PM) Seriously, this post was answered 3 times in the other thread. It's 100% impossible for the Sox to move Viciedo for him. No it's not. He could be a PTBNL, but absolutely will not be.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 05:14 PM) That isn't cheating. If it is, then OFers who pretend they will catch a fly-ball to freeze a runner is cheating. Faking to 3rd and throwing to 1st is cheating. A 2B/SS pretending a ball went into the OF on a steal throw is cheating. AJ wasn't tagged, so he ran to first. The catcher did not tag or throw the ball to first and it was ruled it hit the dirt. How you can even call that cheating is ridiculous. Cheating would be hitting the ball out of a guys glove, not running out a dropped 3rd strike. Or an outfielder trapping a catch and arguing that he caught it, or a fielder applying a phantom tag and pretending like he tagged them, or a base runner throwing his arms out to say "safe" on a close play, or a catcher framing the ball back into the strike zone. All of these are things players do, and NONE of them are considered "cheating". What AJ did was in no way, shape, or form "cheating". He took advantage of a lazy catcher and an indecisive umpire.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:56 PM) It's not being a crabby guy thinking an idea that would embarrass the Sox fan base is a bad idea. Your idea was classless and not a good thing to do on any count. Chanting Manny when Ozzie brings the lineup card out ... that is funny. Embarrass the Sox fan base? So any time a fan boos a player, it's "embarrassing the fan base"? Gimmie a break man.... And it wasn't "my idea".

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:45 PM) I said it might be funny to do it when Ozzie comes out to take a pitcher out if we're winning. It's just not a good idea. Our fan base doesn't need to chant Manny when a Sox player is at the plate. It's not funny and it's bitter and it doesn't help us win. Not to pile on, but why not just reconsider and admit it was a bad idea. I've said I was wrong many times. It would be in bad taste to boo or mock Konerko, Buehrle, Thornton, Rios, Quentin, Beckham, you know, the core of this team that has been great for us this season and in their careers.... but we are talking about Mark Kotsay! Mark F'ing Kotsay! He is only on this team because Ozzie likes him for some reason. He is no one special to this team. He can leave, and no one would be heartbroken. I doubt Kotsay jerseys are flying off the shelves. He is a nobody. It sucks you can't enjoy some good 'ole humor by partaking in some ballpark hijinks, but that's your opinion. I'll enjoy my Sox games and have fun with poking fun at Kotsay. I'm sure he will appreciate how loyal you are to him, no matter how terribly awful he is.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:57 PM) Manny at SS? Probably not a good idea.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:32 PM) Trust me, doing that does nobody any good except make our fan base look like a bunch of f***ing morons, no disrespect intended. I suppose you enjoy watching your games in silence and like to enjoy a cup of tea rather than a cold beer? You sound like a real downer to hang around with....

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:25 PM) It actually seems like a douchey thing to do. I'm no fan of Kotsay's but he didn't do anything to deserve that type of treatment from the fans. He tried his best and was put into a position to fail. ......says the guy who runs the "IMPEACH KOTSAY" fanclub...... lol.
