August 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 08:03 PM) $40 a ticket, on average. 10,000 people. = $4 million. Concessions, parking etc on top of that. And a single playoff game...with nearly 40k paying $50 a ticket and also guaranteeing season ticket sales for next year... It doesn't take much in terms of publicity to cover $4 million. You said 500 extra tickets sold a game. There are 16 home games left. 8000 x 40=320,000. If he helps them make the playoffs, then perhaps it will pay off, but odds are against that at the moment.
August 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 07:05 PM) So how much in cash would Gilmore be worth? $500K? Just guessing.
August 30, 201015 yr It's not about liking Manny. It's about knowing that this team needs a bat, and taking whatever we can get. I'm willing to concede a month for a juicer if he can carry this team to the promise land.

August 30, 201015 yr How could you NOT like this transaction?!? wtf? Personally I wouldn't give up s***...but if all it takes is Gilmore...who cares.
August 30, 201015 yr Nice... we need him. This has gotta be a real kick in the nuts to Thome, Dye, considering Sox could of had them all year for fraction of Manny's price for one month.

This has gotta be a real kick in the nuts to Thome, Dye, considering Sox could of had them all year for fraction of Manny's price for one month. Jermaine Dye didn't want to DH. We still need to keep saying that. The Nats offered him about that much money to play OF too and he turned that down. Some guys don't want to take the pay cut.
August 30, 201015 yr Time to put the pedal to the metal. My preferred lineup tomorrow: 7 Pierre 4 Beckham B Ramirez 3 Konerko 9 Teahen 8 Rios 2 AJ 6 Ramirez 5 Vizquel

August 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 08:26 PM) So who gets removed from the 25 man for tomorrow? Kotsay may have hurt himself on that diving stop in the ninth today.
August 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 07:26 PM) So who gets removed from the 25 man for tomorrow? Kotsay is the most useless, followed by Linebrink. DL them for being DB's (douchebags)
August 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 08:28 PM) Lillibridge. Then they wouldn't have a backup middle infielder.
August 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 09:26 PM) So who gets removed from the 25 man for tomorrow? if i had to guess it'd probably be lillibridge till the rosters expand....there is no way it'll be kotsay...
August 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 09:29 PM) Then they wouldn't have a backup middle infielder. i see what your saying but this is ozzie we are talking about....if ramirez/beckham went down over the next few days they'd just put vizquel at their spot and put teahen at 3rd
August 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 08:28 PM) Kotsay may have hurt himself on that diving stop in the ninth today. Don't get my hopes up.
August 30, 201015 yr 1) Manny will NOT be batting 3rd or 4th for the White Sox. It will be 5th or 6th in the order. 2) I would expect Kotsay to be gone, maybe they hide on him on the DL. Lillibridge still is needed for backup IF and a pinch runner. 3) My guess is that this probably won't impact the Sox.. They have reverted back to a mediocre team, and will be 4 or 5 games back heading into September with 6 or 7 still remaining against Boston.

August 30, 201015 yr JimBowdenXMFOX DHernandez reporting that Manny will waive no-trade even if he's not compensated....Scott Boras reporting his client should keep mouth shut lol.

Probably has a huge ego to think he got all of those pitches. He must think he's superman or something
