Trouble is abrewing...

Seeing-eye single. I loathe our organization's decision to just give Nix away to the Indians.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 08:35 PM) Jackson is getting tired I see...that first pitch to Hafner was 98 miles per hour. He threw 149 pitches once. This ain't s***.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 08:33 PM) As much as I'd like to give Manny credit, I doubt it caused Hermann to hang that offspeed pitch. Of course it didn't. EJax still in.

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 08:32 PM) Probably Manny's presence in the on-deck circle caused that batting practice fastball to AJ. That was a hanging slider.

QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 08:31 PM) Why can't we just let Manny have his at-bat anyways? I'm guessing Ozzie wants him to get some rest or something.

Oh crap, no Manny.

MANNY MANNY MANNY MANNY

Who needs Manny now?

f*** YES!

Anything but a DP A.J.

A.J. with a man on first is bad news.

Joe Smith hurt.

Of course, he bunts with Alexei...

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 07:54 PM) he's not that good either..... He's a serviceable starter.

YOU DON'T EVER PINCH HIT FOR KOTSAY IN THE 8TH INNING! FAR TOO EARLY!

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 07:51 PM) you act like masterson is a cy young winner....we should be rockin this dude we are just beating ourselves Masterson's not that bad.

Yeah, we totally don't need Manny.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 04:10 PM) I swear, one of these days, I will come up with a stat called grinder%. It will try to measure every single intangible imaginable.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 04:06 PM) Doesn't mean squat? Are you actually serious? It at least helps, come on man. Manny doesn't mean squat because he did steroids and those numbers are the result of steroid use.

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 04:04 PM) for all of you getting on ozzie about the lineup the flight from la. to clev. he took today was not a direct flight. You'd think Manny Ramirez would have a private jet, after all, he's getting paid 100k a day for crying out loud.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 04:04 PM) He's a good hitter. I'm just pointing out his presence alone doesn't mean squat in winning or losing against the Cleveland Indians. It's no travesty if he doesn't play tonight. Though I'm of the opinion since we got him, might as well play him. Why no discussion of whether he will be on the team next year? We almost lost yesterday after leaving 15 guys on base. I think you need him, especially against Masterson (been good against us (2.78 ERA), not as bad as his ERA shows).

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 04:03 PM) But what is his Grinder %? Probably only 0.2%. He's too talented, doesn't try, takes roids, doesn't run hard, can't field. He's like the opposite of Darin Erstad, Mark Kotsay, etc. No wonder Ozzie isn't letting him play today.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 04:01 PM) But he hardly has any stolen bases so he sucks. I also hear he sucks at sliding, unlike Juan Pierre.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 03:56 PM) He has eight homers and 40 ribbies in 200 at bats. Who cares how many home runs he has? He has a .510 slugging% and a .200 ISO. And I won't even bother to explain why RBIs don't mean much when evaluating a single player.
