QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) Yes, when I go overboard and say the Sox will get swept, they do well, etc. When I feel we will win, losses mount. I probably should stop it. Jinx = opposite outcome happens Reverse = opposite So, a reverse Jinx would be two opposites, so in fact, it would not be a jinx or reverse outcome at all......

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 03:43 PM) so when will the results of who was selected by who come out? I guess in about 2 business days if they are still on the team, or traded. I'm not the claiming of a player is always public. I wish it was, but I guess it's very possible that we may get Manny and Downs or Frasor on the same day.

Rosenthal has some interesting comments..... Ken_Rosenthal Another possibility on Manny: He wants $$$ to waive no-trade, neither team will give it to him and Dodgers are saying "If u won't go, u won't play." That is only speculation. More inclined to believe trade is in works.

Manny is not in the lineup for the 3rd consecutive game..... I am pretty sure they are just trying to keep him for injury at this point.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 02:32 PM) I think KW probably would have at least claimed Fuentes considering the shambles the bullpen is in if he didn't possibly have over $4 million possibly tied up with Manny. I am still thinking he grabbed one of the 4 Blue Jays relievers that were claimed.

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 02:52 PM) Just heard on the Score that he needs Tommy John surgery after the MRI showed a torn UCL. This sucks. we now only have Sale as a lhp out of the pen.

From Peter Gammons' twitter..... pgammo One club's defensive metrics has Alexei Ramirez "far and away" the best defensive SS in AL this season.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 10:14 AM) I'll take Jackson but I really think that pitchers can thrive with weaker stuff in the NL. I don't know why I just do. That's pretty obvious considering that NL teams substitute a great hitter (DH) for a non-hitter (pitcher), and usually build team around less power and more speed.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 12:58 PM) Fuentes is not that good. Kind of a crappy pickup by the Twins. Can't wait to see him come in and get rocked. I would hardly say he is a crappy pick-up. He is not as good as he used to be, but I can't think of any team that couldn't use Brian Fuentes.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 01:37 PM) I'll have to get over my reverse jinx stuff. Whenever I am bitterly negative we win. Wouldn't a reverse jinx mean that what you say comes true?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 09:10 AM) Danks be good I get it.

QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 11:42 PM) in case you missed it, fuentes was traded to them evil twins this morning I think that's why he said it. We had a chance to win the claim over MIN, and we didn't do it.

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/08/down...ff-waivers.html It is not known who claimed any of those 4, but I would have to think Kenny claimed at least 1. I would really like to get Frasor or Downs if we could.

Still no Lucas Harrell? Figured maybe we'd see him in his blowout.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 08:51 PM) damn another injury you have to be kidding me ?

According to Buster Olney, Aroldis Chapman was clocked at 105 MPH tonight in AAA. I'm going to have to doubt that.....

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 08:24 PM) I don't usually boo my TV. Your TV has sound that comes from it, yes? Did you hear the fans boo Swisher?

Did anyone boo Swisher tonight? Would any of you boo him?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 08:47 PM) Somehow Cervelli has 10 errors in limited play at catcher. Considering the Yankees have the best record in the majors, it's looking like Boston will be only 4.5 game behind both the Rays and Yankees. They have absolutely no clue what to do with Burnett (7 ERA and no wins in August) and if Pettite can't come back, things will get very very interesting in the final 2-3 weeks. Nothing would dissapoint me more than to see the Red Sox climb back up and make the playoffs (outside of the Sox making it, obviously).

I take it a fan grabbed a ball that could have been a potential triple?

QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 07:02 PM) OMG I can't believe Hawk and Stone.....ROFL ??

Fuentes to Twins. s*** s*** s*** s*** s*** s*** s*** s*** s*** s*** s*** s*** s***

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 05:23 PM) I thought it was a scheduled day off. And besides, most people show up to the ballpark, even if they're given a day off. As Kalapse just said, it's his 2nd day on the bench now. So either he is in the process of being traded, or they are just keeping him out to avoid injury.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 04:40 PM) No one from 40man roster could be a PTBNL, anyone from 40man roster would need to clear waivers themselves, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Hmm, I don't know, I thought the way "around" that rule was to have a player used as a PTBNL, since he wouldn't actually be traded until the offseason anyway, where players can be traded freely (since there is no waiver wire in the offeason).
