QUOTE (stretchstretch @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 11:41 PM) yeah, let's do our part to get MN in the playoffs! Oh, please. Do you really want to roll over and die? The Tigers did s*** for us last year, let them legitimately beat the Twins like we had too

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Oct 1, 2009 -> 11:16 AM) Sergio Santos and Seth Loman were resigned. They must have really liked Santos' arm as an infielder, becasue he didn't produce results as a pitcher last year. I really do like Loman though.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 10:50 PM) Play hard? We had like 5 hits. We just got great pitching. What do you mean? I said i hope that we play the Tigers hard. Like they played us hard last year. I want us to battle to play the spoilers.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 10:36 PM) Dude, the Indians suck. I hardly call this "getting our s*** together." We missed the playoffs because we weren't worth of them. No matter what happens now. Wait, they've lost like 21 of their last 26, haven't they? Okay, i revoke my previous statement. I do hope we play the Tigers hard this week.

Were their really no highlights below AA ball? Outside of Morel that is.

The boxscore for this game was hilarious. Great time to get our s*** together, when there's so little to play for.

QUOTE (DaveBrown85 @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 10:26 PM) Cant Kotsay take Wise's spot? This is my ideal bench for next year. Bench: FLowers- C Getz- Utility/platoon Kotsay-1b, DH, OF. Pods-OF, runner.

I'd go for Manny Acta if i were the Indians. Seems to fit in with their sabermetic leanings.

I think i'll let the domain name, CarlosTorresIsAwesome.com expire.

I-Tunes Radio actually game me the top of the 1st inning, before switching over. Got me all excited.

Okay, Carmona VS Torres. Over/Under 50 walks tonight?

The entire Indians coaching staff has just been fired. I wonder how that plays out tonight. EDIT: Sounds like they'll be finishing out the season. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090930/ap_on_...s_wedge_fired_2

Also, why on earth would we keep Wes Whisler? His only value is that he's our only lefty above A-Ball, really,

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 10:37 AM) lol. Don’t you dare call me on my hypocrisy, Southsider2k5! You know how that makes me feel!

Let’s just agree to disagree, and try not to turn this into another Swisher thread. Now, back to the Cubs sucking.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 10:04 AM) YOur Swisher love is stalker creepy. Its funny that you are basically defending both Bradley and Swisher, I dont get it but whatever. Argue the point. No need to bring me down without offering a decent rebuttal. Did we or did we not scapegoat Swish last year, the same way the Cubs are doing to Bradley this year?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 01:27 AM) That's the Cub way, take a guy and trade him at his absolute lowest value, while at the same time demonizing him on the way out the door in order to gain fan support for the move. It's all about PR there, even with the increased payroll and expectations. White Sox have done it too (Swisher). It's just a natural reaction to cover one's ass,

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 02:21 AM) Huge risk even with his potential, but the spect lover in me loves him for 3B. Sell low KW. Brandon Wood could be huge for us. Great idea.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 30, 2009 -> 12:43 AM) That second game gives them breathing room back at 2 games. Amazing how different things woulda been if Detroit lost that game. It was a close game. Can't see the Twins taking the next two. They really have to, however, if they want to control their own destiny. Tigers so far avoiding total collapse. Pavano VS Bonine is an edge for the Twins.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Sep 29, 2009 -> 04:44 PM) It's not as if Fields is taking playing time away from some hot 1B prospect. They are hoping he does well, which might increase his trade value (which currently sits at next to nothing) ever so slightly. My arguement is to stop Wise from playing. Put Fields in the OF, let Nix and Getz gets more AB's.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 29, 2009 -> 05:37 PM) Cowley fails again. Buehrle will start Game 2 tomorrow. HAH!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 29, 2009 -> 04:34 PM) Game postponed. Doubleheader tomorrow. f***.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 29, 2009 -> 04:29 PM) They were in the World Series last year. They have similar fickle fans to the Sox. They sure do love their cowbell though.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 29, 2009 -> 04:27 PM) Rays season ticket holder: Oxymoron?

QUOTE (qwerty @ Sep 29, 2009 -> 04:25 PM) '' The catch'', duh. Josh Fields has said that’d he be willing to play 3b, 1b, or the OF as long as it allowed him to play everyday. If I’m the White Sox I’m sticking him in LF for the next series, and assuming he doesn’t make an ass of himself, he might even raise some of his value.
