I swear if we lose this game, I am only watching Manny at-bats and no other Sox games for the rest of the year

FRODO!!!!!!

cst_sox Linebrink yells, "Men of Scotland, I am William Wallace.'' Meanwhile, Lilli just stares at him and says, "sword is shiny like Precious.''

EJax better have another shutdown performance tommorrow cause I'm assuming Sale & Jenks will be unavailable

Earn that f***ing paycheck Scottie!!! WOOOOOO!!!

At least Cowley has kept me entertained this season: cst_sox I'll start writing my final game story now - "It was a dark and stormy night, as Scott Linebrink fought like a warrior poet to no avail ...

Scott Linebrink in the hizzouse!!!

LOL, at least he took some pitches and made him throw strikes

Wow AJ! What patience

Please don't swing at the first pitch AJ

That was ugly Brent. Now who the f*** pitches the bottom of the 10th???

I love watching Alexei play D. 1 more guys.

Wow.

Uggggh, Bobby. f***

Here we go again...

I just think that if you play with a 25-man roster for 5 months, you shouldnt just change to a 40-man roster come September. It should stay the same all season for competition sake. The extra players can swing the division, either by a competitor's roster or a spoiler team having the extra players to steal a win.

This might be a separate conversation for another day, but does anyone else think that expansion of the roster in September is a bad idea? I get how its good for bad teams that are out of the race, it makes it easier to get your rookies playing time and see what they are all about. When there are two teams battling for a playoff spot, and for 5 months they have to use a 25-man roster the entire team. You have to manage that roster each and every game to make sure your pitching arms don't wear out, your hitters stay fresh, etc. All of a sudden, as the race goes down to the wire, you are allowed to call up 15 more guys if you so please. I know most of those guys aren't that good, but having all those fresh bodies on the bench can definitely make a difference, especially in an extra inning game, and we all know one game can make the whole difference in a season.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 30, 2010 -> 04:25 PM) cst_sox Sox will pay Manny until 2013 - KW - "If we're all wearing rings from [2010], there won't be much complaining.'' Isn't it just the $4 million he is still owed deferred through 2013? It's not like they are paying him $4 million every year until 2013.

Last year the Bears went 7-9 with 2 of their 3 starting LBs playing 1.5 games combined and their starting QB absolutely giving away at least two games if not more. I get that the schedule is tougher, but if they could do that last year, then I think its definitely possible that they could do better this season. I'm not confident that they will make the playoffs, but I don't think this season is automatically gonna be a trainwreck.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 30, 2010 -> 02:36 PM) You get what you pay for. The real disaster is Soldier Field. This isn't the actual stadium, but the walk from Soldier Field to downtown/CTA, along the Field Museum, down below in the tunnels, is the worst f***ing walk ever. Every year I forget how bad it is until I go back for a game. There had to be some way to make that all more convenient.
