Ken_Rosenthal #Dodgers activating Manny tonight. Will be in lineup. #waiverclaim #MLB about 7 hours ago ........ Went 0/3 with 2 Ks. No rehab stint like they talked about? Seems like they are rushing him back to put him on waivers by the 31st. Although at this point a Sox claim of Manny seems to be a waste. Our BP is blown out. And the DH didn't help the problem.

Anybody else see the little kid and mom in the Royals dugout?

The decision to leave him in is absolutly intolerable. The game is over, Oz needed to make a managerial call and pull him. His decisions this season; base running, line-ups, bunt calls, Thome, ETC should cost him if we continue to fall out. It's so frustrating seeing these bonehead moves day-in-day-out.

Great job Ozzie now you got our closer hurt in an 11-0 game. Pena or sale should be in. He should not be ALLOWED to stay in.

That was a half asses retaliation attempt

Pierre, lf Vizquel, 3b Rios, df Konerko, 1b Teahen, DH Quentin, rf Pierzynski, c Ramirez, ss Beckham, 2b Jackson, p

Did AJs foul hit Jenks. Whoever it was looked hurt. And Jenks walked to the clubhouse. Probably fed his back up hurrying to get out of the way.

Lol. Obviously by "bomb" I meant homerun (shocker with AJ) as in hitting the ball inside or outside the park, where as to collect all four bases. That was great though.

AJ has been playing because of the success he has calling games. I will bet though that he will add some offense to his repritore in this all important game. I'm seeing a bomb from him tonight.

And now the genius manager is going to burn through our bullpen the night before a series with Minny. Put Liebrink or Pena in fu*k you Ozzie u piece of s. t. U an ur horrble offesense and decisions lost this game. I hope ur stubborness for Kotsay costs u ur job when we fizzle out the rest of the year. One more time f**k u Ozzie guillen, ur a lucky manager. KW you better rectify this BS offense. What a joke Baltimore. Fk

That guy is going to kill himself the way he runs. Seriously what a joke

Would you do something please Q.

I am so fing sick of Ozzie bunting w JP on first. He leads the AL in SB let him do his fing job and STEAL and thn bunt. I don't get how he foes this prob. 30 toms this season. His decisions have cost us games and this one could to.

F*** you and your offense Ozzie.

Typical Andruw Jones swinging at balls in the dirt, but it's cool him and Kotsay are excellent DHs

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Aug 9, 2010 -> 08:34 PM) So we ph for Dayan but not AJ? What? I agree, I rather see Tank hit and Omar PH for Lilli. WTF oz

By all mean ride it out hopefuy till Friday after the twins series

This game is ovah

Im just happy Ozzie got his way and we stood pat on offense. This has been pittiful, 3 hits? Great momentum going intj the biggest series of the season.

Let's go EJax, we need this one. Big game with Minny idle picking up that half game before the three game set could be a difference maker.

Seriously awsome. This trade deadline episode saved the series. He is a smart GM

Great episode damn you Berkman. Deal was done. That was def. Uspsetting and you could tell KW was pissed.

I worked all day so sorry to ask, is Phillips correct with what he said, anyone 100% certain? That doesn't seem right it would kind of defeat the purpose of teams being able to dump large backloaded vetran contracts, most of which have NTC. I could be wrong but it seems Phillips is wrong about this. I'd appreciate if someone knew the answer and could clarify for us. It seems fishy to me this thing with ManRam and the dodgers too. Although he really could be messed up both physically and mentally. I think a change of sceanary and the DH postion may suit him well. I would love the potential his bat could bring to our lineup. I do worry about two things though; - One ,that he most likely being a juicer is skeptical about his abilities right now hence all the injuries (strainged calf , I believe a hammy, etc. All things that affect the player and are hard for MRIs and trainers to find. I also think it is magnified by his ballpark. His power numbers are down and the guy is a HR hitter that has to be discouraging.It's hard as helll to hit a HR and damn near impossible to hit them at night in LA (plus petco, AT&T, AZ). I think the Cell benefits him in this case. -Two, he could be a cancer to a team that fought their way back from "death" (per Coop) and now are a close knit group, as you see in the dugout and after games. Manny is notroious for poutting. If he goes cold, or Oz doesn't play him everyday, or basically he is unhappy he can make work(baseball) very hard. He was run out of Bos by teamates of his for years and now seemingly done the same in Mannywood, sorry Hollywood. Everyone says Oz can handle him, maybe (how did he and the clubhouse handle Swishs ego). But those two might butt heads and egos. If Torre can't manage him IMO no one can, that guy has managed every superstar and their egos with the yanks. With that said I would still take him if we were somehow able to claim him. I still think LA sees themselves in it and will hold on to him or we are blocked for another disappointing 31st deadline. I do however think his bat equates to a dangerous dangerous team (if Ejax is EJax not Edwin Jackson).

Definitly remeber how frustrating that is. Hopefuly we can continue to put Twinkie fans through the same misery we have endured many years chasing them. Great game, great showing of our grindeness and once again our ability to come back late in games. Glad to see Oz wasn't messing aroud and went with Putz instead of trying with Bobby. Would like u to gain atleast a game in the next two days with Minny coming to the Cell Tues-Thurs. Go get em' tomorrow boys!
