"The Twins don't beat themselves" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Punk b****es.

Hell yeah!!!!

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 02:46 PM) That was in the '02 playoffs, and 2003 was pretty much a lost season for him. 2004 was the year he recovered, and he came back to life in 2005. Well maybe this year is Beltran's recover year and he comes back to life next year.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 01:39 PM) I understand what you're saying Sqwert, but Dye was pretty much the perfect example of the Sox picking up a player who was left for dead and resurrecting his career. Dye put up a .231/.305/.397/.702 line in the second half of 2004, and a .200/.246/.385/.631 line in his first 36 games of the 2005 season too. There were quite a few people who thought Dye was done and washed up, and he turned out to be one of the best free agent signings in White Sox history. I think Jermaine Dye works perfectly as an example of a guy people thought was done and the Sox saw something in him. I'm not on board for acquiring Carlos Beltran - mainly because of his inflated salary and absolutely no idea what to expect - but acquiring him isn't the worst idea in the world and it tends to fit Williams' MO of finding players other teams thought were done and over with and getting something out of them. If the Mets were willing to take Linebrink while also eating some salary (and taking back only a couple of mediocre prospects too), then I could most definitely see a move occurring. This. Plus, remember when Dye suffered that awful foul ball broken leg before he made it to the Sox? I know it was earlier than Beltran's injury but it's still a similar situation.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 01:46 PM) Have you seen Danks' numbers against the Twins?! NOT GOOD. All I remember is when Danks shut them b****es down in game 163.

No. Please no.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 11:58 AM) vagina? Dude... we're talking about John Danks, not Justin Morneau.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 10:03 AM) Guarantee it will happen Motherf***ing right...

Is this annoying??

Good God I'm sick of hearing about Jim Thome. I hope he retires at the end of the season. I would go insane. I too feel like if we're going to lose the AL Central crown, I wanna lose big... like by about 8 or 9 games. I would be sick to my stomach thinking about losing to the twins by 1 or 2 freaking games. That would be a long cold winter and I'm not a football or basketball fan.

QUOTE (Sox72 @ Aug 11, 2010 -> 07:24 AM) That would be amazing......but he'll be 34 next year. I just can't see it happening. Definitely not in the field, coming off of knee surgery. Yeah I didn't think he was that old. I thought he was around Rio's age. He's 4 years older.

I wonder if he's fully recovered from his injuries and he just has to get his timing and confidence back? Can you imagine if we claimed him and he did get back to his 2006 - 2008 form next year? Wow.

You know what would cheer me up? A serious ass whuppin put on the twins tonight in our ballpark in front of our fans, followed by another serious ass whuppin put on the twins Thursday night in our ballpark in front of our fans. That will get the job done.

I think that maybe teams have just figured out how to hit Freddy. That junk was only going to last for so long. Hopefully he'll get some rest and figure out another way to baffle hitters.

Well it'll be easier to get Manny after tonight, since the Twins won't be able to block anymore.

Is Pena up in the bullpen yet?

Jesus... I'm still at work, but I'm glad I didn't rush home to see what you guys are looking at. Freddy getting shelled huh? Well this is making the Edwin Jackson trade look even better. NO ONE should be complaining about that anymore? Imagine having Freddy as your 4th starter with an unsure rookie at 5...

Well not necessarily... he's owed 5.5 mil this year and 18.5 (wow) mil next year, and the Mets wanna get rid of him. Maybe they'll take Linebrink and/or Teahen back in a trade or just eat a lot of next years salary owed to him. The guy was phenomenal a few years ago. And he is a switch hitter. Maybe he needs a change of scenery and an off season to get back to 100% healthy? Maybe he'll have something to prove? An outfield with Pierre in left, Rios in center and a rejuvinated Beltran in right would be outstanding... DH Quentin and there you go.

Dammit I want a freaking demoralizing blowout. I wanna put up about 20 runs on these bastards and shut them down. I mean like in May 2009 when they beat us 20-1. I wanna put that kind of ass whuppin on them. Oh and a bench clearing brawl would be nice too.

We better beat these f***ers tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday.

Good Lord we're lucky Carlos Quentin isn't dead.

Thornton ain't f***ing around tonight... Making 'em Look like lil b****es.

Konerko is getting tired of this s***...

I wish Andruw Jones was a better hitter. He's money with a glove.

That song has a very special meaning to me right now...
