This. No matter what people believe, they are technically "still in the race".

If we get him, i cant f***ing wait to hear Farmio's reaction as he has constantly ripped manny since the ban

So if KW is still the GM in 5 years...will he try this with Twins players from the 2000's like he does with Indians players from the 90's?

Let's wait and see if Manny is in the lineup, if deal was close I doubt he'd be playing.

Mauer and Morneau? Ok.

Radio station in LA saying deal is done? Manny to Sox, Sox pick up most of the contract, LA gets PTBNL. JUST A RUMOR. #whitesox - some guy on twitter.

LOL, either I called this one, or that radio station is reading my posts.

Victory claimed by cheaters is hollow at best.

 

LOL.

 

People who are against PEDs are such hypocrites. How many of you don't speed in your cars or look for loopholes when doing your taxes? Sure, it's okay to cheat on some things and not others. What bs....

Check out my tweet bar below, I think y'all will get a kick out of that.

I still despise Manny for being the quitter and cheater he is, but boy will his bat look good in the Sox lineup for the next month or so. I'm a little torn, but as long as its just this month, I'm happy. Please do not bring him back for 2011, especially with his age and injury history of late (in addition to the aforementioned scuzziness).

Vince's quote was not as harsh as the inane comment he posted. Vince's is considered in the true spirit of competition. You bleed to win!

This is a disgraceful day in White Sox history to acquire this guy.

I hope some people think long and hard before making such posts iike this.

People, don't out yourselves as people who condone cheating and all that. Don't make me lose faith in humanity more than I have.

My god. Think before you post.

CHEATING IS WRONG!!!

There is very little left in this baseball season, so I don't anticipate Manny pulling any crap in his time here.

 

I do hate him, though.

Really? So, if the Sox win the division and go onto the playoffs and do well and maybe win the whole thing...and Manny had a hand in it, you would not be happy?

he just joined he Twins this year, but a 37-year old Orlando Hudson getting picked up by KW in July 2015 would not surprise me in the least.

You're losing it, Greg. Take a deep breath.

I dont mind when people cheat to win. I think its hypocritical how baseball treats cheating.

 

If Manny comes to the Sox, great. If not, oh well.

 

But I have no problem with a player trying to get the most out of their abilities.

Don't bother. This has been longshot's schtick for as long as I can remember. His logic trail leads to the impossible (anarchy) so its empty, and he's probably doing it just to get your goat. Its working.

 

I think I'm like Balta.

I love the White Sox. If I cheer for him, I will feel dirty doing so.

He worded it best.

 

This is a disgrace. I just hope we have him one month.

And if we fall out of the race, which seems inevitable, how the f*** are you gonna feel about Manny when he's not into playing for the White Sox with us 7 back?? Manny is a cheater. I don't want him.

There is a lot of booing and negativity on facebook in regard to the news of Sox claim Manny. You would think average facebook fan wouldn't care about Steroids, any chance he gets booed if he plays for W Sox ?
