August 28, 201015 yr QUOTE (T R U @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 04:43 AM) You cant possibly think a 3.5 game lead with over a month left is being way ahead Insurmountable. This team has never shown anything to anyone to make anybody think they can reel off numerous wins in a row.
August 28, 201015 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 06:41 AM) Some fan you are. You were saying before last night's game that we would lose and Freddy had no chance. Why bother watching and coming in here with all of your negativity?
August 28, 201015 yr QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 08:10 AM) Many here talk about Fuentes like he is second coming of Mariano Rivera. Didn't he blow a save against the Sox earlier in the season? Fuentes is a good relief pitcher (making way too much money) but let's not overreact. No, 2 for 2 in save opps vs the Sox this year. You don't have to be Mariano Rivera to be a quality reliever, especially when you throw with your left hand.
August 28, 201015 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 10:34 PM) Anyone find it odd Manny has been out of th lineup 2 days in a row? I've worked all night so maybe this was explained. KW probaly has a deal already done, but he wants to stick it to Big Frank on his day, and what better way then the day his number is retired (In comes Manny). Stealing Big Franks Thunder!!

August 28, 201015 yr Update from nightengale, kindA: BNightengale #mlb #dodgers Intriguing to see if Manny is in the lineup tonight against the Rockies. If not, Dodgers may be saying he's no longer wanted. 13 minutes ago BNightengale #mlb #dodgers #whitesox Manny Ramirez has told friends that he will NOT require the White Sox to extend his contract if he's traded., 21 minutes ago
August 28, 201015 yr I'm getting nervous now. I have a feeling the trade may not happen. Worse, I'm not sure KW will make any moves. Another arm for the bullpen would be nice right about now.

Another arm for the bullpen would be nice right about now. In most trade cases I'd say the longer it goes on the worse of a chance it is, but not with waivers. I'm fairly confident we will acquire him, I think the dodgers just want to act like they still care about winning and not the owners divorce.
August 28, 201015 yr KW is just in a big stare down with Coletti and he (KW) really holds all the cards, every day Manny is not in the line up, Colleti is looking at spending $4 million for a useless player, he will be on the road with the Sox next week, book it!!

This ^ and they want to drop all the dollars on KW who doesn't want to take on the full $4M.

Reinsdorf is not gonna take on $1M for 5 weeks and then pay $3M next year for a player not even on the roster.

Another arm for the bullpen would be nice right about now. You'll have a hard time convincing many Sox fans who believe Manny's bat will compensate for that. I don't trust Kenny making a deal right now. What will he give up for something that in no way makes this team an automatic to win the division? There is another GM involved in this deal. He probably will ask more than most of us think.
August 28, 201015 yr In the minority here, but, even though I live in Colorado & the Rox are my (distant) second favorite team, I am hoping the Dodgers keep winning. I want them to decide Manny is an integral part of their pursuit of the wild card. Quitter & unrepentant cheater. Isn't he a Boras client too? Yuck. Edited August 28, 201015 yr by bobryansson

We're not looking to sign a long term deal with him. It's a rental for 2010.
August 28, 201015 yr SI_JonHeyman no evidence of serious trade talks yet betw chisox and dodgers. if LA keeps winning, might be tough to move manny. 3 minutes ago

August 28, 201015 yr So let me get this straight, a guy his current HOF manager says is not ready to hit good pitching so he sits down is precisely the man that will lead the White Sox to the promised land? Personally I think Joe and the Dodgers probably think Manny will blow a calf or something if he plays the field right now. Its a real tricky situation for the Sox. They may get Manny, but it may not be for very long.
