QUOTE (beckham15 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 04:55 PM) well according to joe torre manny is supposed to start monday night against the phillies so looks like we wont be getting him till the last minute if we even do He said Manny is tentatively scheduled to start. He has his out and after what Manny did today I would be shocked if he's still in a Dodgers uniform tomorrow.

Manny just PH with the bases loaded in the 6th, took 1 pitch, it was called a strike, and got ejected for arguing. The pitch wasn't even that bad. Manny doesn't want to be a Dodger anymore.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 05:40 PM) I think I read somewhere that the Dodgers were planning on waiting until Tuesday to make a deal just in case their wildcard fortunes changed between now and then. Don't they have a limited time to make a trade happen, though, since he was claimed and didn't pass through waivers? What is that time period, if it exists? Sorry, I'm at work avoiding the boss's eye, no time to read through everything. The trade must be done before Tuesday at 12:30 CST.

Sox got the claim! http://twitter.com/jaysonst/status/22288229499

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 12:44 PM) espn 1000 update: white sox no longer favorite to land manny They're citing this article which somehow believes the Rangers have a better shot than us. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/201...tml?xid=si_mlb Heyman throws so much **** against the wall.

Sox want Manny because they think Ozzie can handle him. http://twitter.com/dylanohernandez/status/20004140564

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 08:52 AM) The more I think about this, I'm calling bulls*** that he's staying with the Sox. They want Dunn, and this is part of it. An NL pitcher with a 5.16 ERA who can't throw strikes? This is not a Kenny move for a pennant race. Then who is your 5th starter? Torres is likely the other pitching prospect in the deal. Marquez?

Source says the second prospect is another pitcher. I bet it's Torres since he was pulled after 75 pitches tonight. http://twitter.com/jonmorosi/status/19890599061

It's up on FoxSports. Sox on the verge of landing Jackson

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 20, 2010 -> 12:15 AM) I just vomited. But really what's he gonna say? "Kotsay blows out there and we need help." "I don't trust this Hudson guy."

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 09:03 PM) From CSN Facebook... "After a near-scrap w A.J. tonight, CSNChicago.com's Brett Ballantini says Jim Thome might not be looking at the White Sox as fondly as he did 3 hours earlier..." Huh? What did AJ get in to it about with Thome? After AJ popped out in the AB in the 3rd, he slammed his bat down, broke it in two, and chucked a broken piece into the Twins dugout fence. Thome took exception and tossed it back.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 08:10 PM) I don't get why Cecil Fielder got to sing the National Anthem. Really man?

Done deal. Lee and Mark Lowe to Rangers for Smoak and 3 others. http://twitter.com/Joelsherman1/status/18146863787

Twins source denies it. http://twitter.com/jclong/status/17835099604

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 02:19 PM) What's max number of votes? There is none.

Peavy says he'll start on Saturday. http://twitter.com/MDGonzales/statuses/16416710045

Anyone know why Viciedo isn't playing?

I'm convinced this game won't end until 12 at the earliest.

Nothing really new here but Peavy wants A-Gon on the Sox and has already expressed this to Kenny. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/story/1298528...aking-own-pitch

Yep, Digital Royalty has indeed confirmed it's Oz. The potential for hilarity with this is off the charts. http://twitter.com/DigitalRoyalty/status/9554284197

Damon and Tigers near agreement. http://twitter.com/TBrownYahoo/status/9401993648 Edit: Done. http://twitter.com/JimBowdenXMFOX/status/9402198203

Sox source: "We're not interested in adding to the misinformation out there." http://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien/status/9295458864

Kenny says he'll be talking about Damon....on Sunday. http://blogs.dailyherald.com/node/3472

Sox gaining momentum, moving closer to landing Damon. http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/...r-to-damon.html

Cowley says the Sox have become the frontrunners for Damon. http://twitter.com/cst_sox/status/9253983124
