It doesnt feel that way. It is that way.

Friday night. No work tomorrow. The beer will be flowing. Let's get a White Sox winner to make it all that much sweeter.

HOME COOKIN'

Just got tickets, so I'll be there to see the fuse lighting first-hand!

 

Also, this is Manny's first home game, right?

well sweeping the twins next week is pretty much mandatory for any hopes coming true. that could shave off 3 games and then we might be able to shave off the other 3 in the remaining 19. long shot for sure, but we shall see.

Under

The last 2 1/2 games in the standings probably shaved off at least 5,000 in attendance for every game in this series.

 

Unfortunately, we don't even have the Twins' games on the weekend to maximize attendance with the first home games for Manny Ramirez, so I'm afraid you're going to hear at least 30-40% Twins' fans during the weeknight games.

 

I think it's safe to assume at this point that the ROI in Ramirez's contract isn't going to come close to $3.8 million.

 

 

If the Royals take 2/3, they tie us for the first time in the season head-to-head in many years (unless they managed to do it in 2007, haha). But I would think it goes all the way back to the 80's or maybe once or twice in the late 90's when they last won or tied a season series against us.

I do not care about a pennat race or anything they should win these three games by at least five runs as they do not even face a AAA caliber pitcher......I know Chen is having a good year....their offense sucks too

Or maybe last year?

Let's win

I'm actually interested to see/hear if there will be any boos from some of the sox faithful.

Wow. Tickets to tonight's game are going for FIVE DOLLARS on that stub site. So much for that Manny attendance bounce.

 

I think casual fans have given up.

No boos.

Manny is old news now and the team is close to being yesterday's news as well.

If we don't sweep KC, as Minnie did with no problem, the yawns will continue.

There will be plenty of boos for the team if we lose tonight, though. Minnie kicked the living s*** out of KC. If we play around with the Royals and lose, we will hear boos.

But not for Manny. He's already been with the team for a week or so. He's old news.

I was hoping for the CELL to be packed.

I almost completely agree, Greg. If tickets are going for 5 bucks on stubhub, not many people are interested in seeing Manny just to see Manny. And I would expect boos if they lay an egg against KC.

 

I do think, however, there will be a mix of boos and cheers for Manny his first time up.

Wow.. Pretty happy I'll get to see him tonight. (missed his debut) Haven't seen him hit since college.

 

Hope he breaks out with some hits tonight, I like the kid.

Rather see Viciedo start against a LHP

The defense has been bad enough lately. 18 Errors in the last 13 games.

Hope he breaks out with some hits tonight, I like the kid.

 

Morel has played very well at all levels. .320 at AAA and he's a plus defender.
