If Manny blocks the move now, I'll be really pissed.

 

He won't block it. He wants to play here.

anyone out in KSPN LAND IN LA?

only the buzz of fans and talking heads, who think the dodgers have a chance at the WC and want to keep him.

The Dodgers might only be 5 games back but they are chasing 4 teams.

At this point, I could not be mad or disappointed at KW he claimed him ad showed he knows this team needed the boost. Whether a trade gets worke out or not I'm not sure, but KW is in the clear.

 

IMO this gets done, the teams have been talking since Tuesday about a potential deal. La has plenty of comptent outfeilders. The save $ and get rod of Manram.

 

Sportscenter is now got it on te upoming ticker. It's next just in case ppl want to hear what they say.

The ball is in Colletti's court. Now he needs to decide A.) if his team has a realistic shot at the playoffs and B.) If having Manny in the lineup improves their chances of making the playoffs. If Ned says yes to both then Manny's staying put. Unless KW has a very enticing trade offer on the table or has mastered the Jedi mind trick he doesn't have a whole lot of power in this situation.

 

The Dodger's recent wins have been almost entirely without Manny. Coletti is gonna move him to the White Sox.

isn't it actually more than that since some of the races are so close that you kind of have to count the teams in 1st as well, because they would also have to start losing

Nice, now acquire him. I really don't want this to drag until the last possible second. Several games will be played between now and then.

I'm banking on the fact that the Dodgers organization has soured on Manny as well as KW's and Colletti's seemingly good working relationship.

and there's very few of those out here that I've heard. most are ready to let him go.

Kenny is the god of waivers!

Now the hard part....get a deal done.

Call me shipps but I have a gut feeling a deal or some groundwork might be in place already.

BTW, can we officially call Heyman the worst twitter source for all things White Sox? His "the Sox no longer the favorite" like 30 mins before it's annouced the Sox WON the claim was embarrasing.

 

Rosenthal is the man with the best sources.

Agreed. They have a deal, I think.

Just don't overpay.

what made that worse was he went on to opine about how the Rangers were interested and acted like they were favorites, basically completely ignoring the waiver process

No Sh*t. He seriously is.

I agree, Mccourt is not going to pass up an opportunity to clear 4.5 mil. I think the defferrred moey makes the point even stronger cause he would be in the hook for 3.5 next year. This should get don't IMO, even if the Dodgers think they have a chance, they should know they can do it without manram seeing he's been out all season.

 

Finally the tell tale will be tonight IMO if he's in the lineup they may drag it out till Tuesday. I hope we get him by Sunday so he can dubut during my day!

I would think a deal has been at least discussed if not agreed upon via a "handshake". Let's hope it gets done quickly and Manny is playing soon. I'd love to see him this weekend, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's not until early next week.

kenny is god of waivers??? having team in second place and then bad finish doesn't make you gods lol. A lot teams last year wouldn't even touch Rios contract

Warren the Ape is the Sh*t. LMAO at that bastard.

Danks2, Gilmore, Shelby III and Gartrell were out of the lineup last night for what it's worth. So was Short, but he has been for over a week.

I'll put my prediction out there... the Sox ship a so-so prospect, no one in the team's Top 10 probably, and cover most but not all of Manny's remaining salary.

But look at Rios now. KW took a chance and it paid off.

all the Greg the Bunny stuff is very good IMO, even the watered down Fox show, it's too bad it never really catches on, and it appears the new MTV show isn't either, very creative and funny stuff!
