QUOTE (EMONEY @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 07:47 PM) Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. The two worst things in sports are cheaters and quitters. Manny's been verified as both. I can't believe KW is bringing that garbage to the South Side. Since I live in Colorado and can't do it myself, I'm paying for one of my friends to go to a game just to boo Manny for me Greg thinks your disgusting.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 06:31 PM) He's not on the 40-man anyways. right.

In talking with Morel, he basically said they told him he isn't being called up. He has Teahen, Vizquel, Lillibridge, and Viciedo all who are ahead of him, plus he is currently playing with a torn labrum. I would be shocked if they wouldn't just let him go home and start the healing process.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 07:16 PM) The delay in this is appalling. If we wanted Manny, he shoulda been here for the big NY series and definitely hould be there when we play Cleveland, another of the teams we sleepwalk against normally. Time is of the essence to wake up this slumbering team with Mr. Moody. Ok, so blame Ned Colletti.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 04:08 PM) Minny plays Detroit next. Detroit really has been playing pretty good ball lately. We play Cleveland. Its time to WAKE up vs the bottom feeders. There are 32 games left. Hopefully Seattle can hang on and help us out. We can't keep pissing away these opportunities. My hope is to go into that Minny series trailing 2.5 games which is still very possible! So yes I STILL want Manny! Oh yeah, I still want him to. This offense should be much improved if not at least inspired when Manny gets here.

Would have been really nice to have Manny in a game like today....

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 03:55 PM) well according to joe torre manny is supposed to start monday night against the phillies so looks like we wont be getting him till the last minute if we even do Not like Torre would have any so-say in that anyway, but I bet it's going to be for the fans and Manny to get one last "Hurrah"

Morel turning the power on this month with 5 dingers, and 17 Xbh this month. Most HR in any previous month was 2, and most Xbh was 12. I'm certainly impressed especially considering his injury he is playing through.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 03:38 PM) What he do? Beating on his chest after he caught the pop-up. Doucher.

QUOTE (Sockin @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 03:33 PM) Manny just PH with the bases loaded in the 6th, took 1 pitch, it was called a strike, and got ejected for arguing. The pitch wasn't even that bad. Manny doesn't want to be a Dodger anymore. lol.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 12:42 PM) Rangers? MLBTR says its the Red Sox who claimed him.

Cool beans Ball State. All we have on TBS right now is a black screen.....

QUOTE (BearingPro @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 12:52 PM) Forget Manny...we need a pitcher Ugh....this is such a tired argument.... Manny doesn't prevent us from getting anyone. It's not Manny OR a pitcher, Kenny will get both if he can.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 12:34 PM) BNightengale #mlb #dodgers Since the Dodgers aren't playing Manny, it's clear they will dealing him. Manny is telling friends he can't wait to join Sox Damn, you beat me to it. Great if he is excited to join us, hopefully that keeps him motivated for the next couple months.

Napoli has been claimed by an unknown team, likely to be an AL team.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 12:18 AM) Threets or Peavy could go to the 60 day DL. Well, well, well, you just have ALL the answers don't you!

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 11:08 PM) If they get him, it'll be Sept 1 and they won't have to decide that. Well, someone will have to removed from the 40-man roster, but yeah, it doesn't have to be one of those two necessarily.

Well, no thanks to Danks, Pena, or Torres in this game. Damnit. Seriously, this bullpen really could have used Thronton, Putz, or Threets tonight.....

Paging Greg, Greg, please report to the gamethread, Andruw Jones wants a word with you..... 3/3. 1B, 2B, HR. 2 BB.

It's funny, in my head I went "There ya go Alexei and Rios! Only 4 more runs!" and then I thought "Oh wait, they still have Rivera in the bullpen..."

tl;dr

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 09:03 PM) Carlos Torres has no business on a major league roster. How bad is our farm system? Fixed your post.

Have yourself a game Andruw! I think I am the only one still watching, but when I finally get a game on TV here at school, I am going to watch it all the way!
