Kyyle23 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 11:47 AM) The important question is then can Pauly play the entire remainder of the season without a day off? Unless Teahen can play 1B? one would have to think viciedo would come up when the rosters expand as well, and he could play 1b too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 11:50 AM) When would we even see him on our roster? He's not even on waivers yet. how do you know? names are leaked, but never released. He could be on waivers for all we know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be on waivers for all we know yep. Buster Olney mentioned earlier this morning that he can go waivers as soon as today if not tommorow for sure. For all we know, the Dodger placed him on Waivers today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatScott82 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 This would be a great seller on the southside. "Come watch Manny in a White Sox uniform try to help propel them into the playoffs!"

Balta1701 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 11:36 AM) I think he's getting to the point in his career where it won't be so much about money anymore, but about having fun, cementing his legacy, and perhaps trying to win another World Series or two. I think we match up pretty well for him if those are his concerns. Manny Ramirez cemented his legacy in 2009 when he got caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can go back to that route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't give a rat's ass what he got caught doing. Like there's been a world series winning team in the last 20 years that didn't have at least one guy that has used PEDs before. If he can help the Sox catch the twins, then bring him on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_Thomas Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 More from Joe: cst_sox According to the source, Williams thinks the addition of Manny would be a boost to the entire team. 11 minutes ago cst_sox "Ken Williams is pushing all his chips on getting Manny Ramirez,'' - a major-league source.

"Come watch Manny in a White Sox uniform try to help propel them into the playoffs!" IMO they would sell a lot more tickets! Or perhaps..."Watch Manny inject some life into the White Sox!" We become the Yankees when we sign a known cheater because it may help us win. As a 46-year-old lifelong Sox fan who grew up listening to my grandfather's stories of Babe Ruth playing at the old palace, I implore Kenny Williams not to bring Manny Ramirez to the White Sox. As I posted in another thread a week or two ago (and that's saying something because I don't post very much), I consider Manny as the poster child for all of major league baseball's ills: greed, steroids, lazy, selfish. No debate there's blame for the steroid era abounding, but when you're injecting a needle into your ass or having someone else do it for you, it's wrong and you know it. So the blame starts with the players who did it. I honestly would rather miss the playoffs without Manny than be in them with him. If the White Sox bring him in I'm not sure I can call myself a fan of this team...and just typing that makes me feel as though I'm losing an appendage.

If he can help the Sox catch the twins, I'll buy a Manny jersey! He'll probably boost attendance too, which will increase revenue. Plus he'll increase the national exposure of the Sox. We know how the national media loves covering the guy. GET IT DONE KW!!! Imagine of he hits a bomb in his first ab... Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
