White Sox Acquire Manny Ramirez

Featured Replies

Got this from a certain radio announcer, from WGN who comes in my business. He said the real reason Manny got traded from the Red Sox, is because he took a dump in the middle of a hotel room, where the Red Sox where staying on the road. Apparently, he asked the maid for more towels and when she didn't leave any, he took a dump in the room. The hotel manager called Theo and the rest is history. I guess it was a 5 star hotel also!!

Whats wrong with that? If the b**** left towels, there would have been no problem.

Whoever has the time and the power should get on Manny's wikipedia page as there is no word about the White Sox there ;)

 

Somebody reversed the changes I made.

could the Sox trade prospects for cash later as a "follow up" trade.

#mlb #whitesox #dodgers. It is now official. Manny is a White Sox!

The best Manny story was when he ran over the trick-or-treaters or he beat the crap out of the thermostat....oh my these are classics.

 

Manny impacts every hitter in the lineup. This is the difference between he and Quentin and/or Rios. If he bats third, Beckham and Pierre get better pitches to hit as you do not want to walk them to potentially get to Manny. Manny is a hitter pure and simple. Similar in ways to Konerko is this year and Quentin was in 2008 except pitchers know this and it affects them more than a guy having a career year.

 

Manny is as clutch as they get and hte White Sox need this. Manny gets the big hits late as well as putting a game out of reach early.

 

Stats be damned if Manny wants to play in the bandbox for the month of September the Sox are much better off for it.

 

That was Albert Belle.

SI_JonHeyman:

Dammit. Back to the men's room to clean up this mess.

#mlb #whitesox #Dodgers The Dodgers rejected the White Sox's offer and simply let Ramirez go on a waiver claim

 

 

Apparently Kenny wanted to give them Jon Gilmore in return for $1.5M. Not surprised the Dodgers said no.

Is he going to wear #66?? That would be kind of funny!! Good luck Manny & welcome to the Sox!!

Sox roster move?

When Manny was on the DL he apparently made mention of visiting the gulf coast and took a trip to visit the Deepwater Horizon....I'm just sayin'....

No Manny tonight, flight gets in too late.

Yeah, I wonder what number he'll wear. Hopefully not #24 and screw over Viciedo. I assume he will rock #99, but maybe he will go with 66 to be clever.

What? How is that possible? There must be a ton of flights going in to Cleveland today.

And I would have thought he would have flown into Cleveland last night or this morning since it was a foregone conclusion.

Nightengale said he waited for the deal to be finalized before heading out.

Is this official?

Where did it say he won't be here in time?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 30, 2010 -> 01:32 PM)

so was the thermostat

And if you're paying him $4M to play for a month why not pay $1K to fly him here in a private jet?

#mlb #whitesox #dodgers Manny's White Sox debut is scheduled for Tuesday against Cleveland.

#mlb #whitesox #dodgers Manny waited for deal to be finalized before leaving for Cleveland. Flight lands tonite, but too late for game.

 

Happy?
