So is it now safe to say that at this point it is going to be Manny or nothing? Is he the only one on the radar? I think we've missed the boat on Luke Scott and Adam LaRoche. Who else is there? Lyle Overbay? No thanks. I'd rather stick with Teahen.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 16, 2010 -> 07:36 AM) Meh. They are the 5th best team in the AL and I don't see them passing up the top 4 anytime this season. If they do make it, I'll be rooting for the yanks in TWO (lol) again like last year. I hate the twins more than I hate the yanks... and I REALLY hate the yanks.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 16, 2010 -> 12:31 AM) No no no, that would disrupt the precious chemistry we have. THATS why we won't get one Anyone that uses clubhouse chemistry as the reason that we shouldn't pick up a potential big bat next year needs to be kicked in the sack.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 06:50 PM) Screw Morneau, Mauer, Liriano, and the horses they rode in on! I'm telling you we need a good ole fashioned bench clearing brawl with these f***ers. EDIT: HA!!! Juan Nieves agrees with me. He wants a brawl too! On the Score this morning he said we have no fear and he wants Thornton to go out and smoke Mauer once and see what happens.

Man I wonder how Putz and Jones feel going back in the dugout

I'm so sick of hearing Stone talk about f***ing bids when the Sox are getting their asses kicked.

This is demoralizing

Is Stone going to do the whole game by himself today?

COME ON DAMMIT IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE HAD A WALK OFF!!!

Maybe we should stop f***ing around and make Thornton the closer.

Sigh...

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 14, 2010 -> 08:07 PM) Two straight at 98, on 110 and 111. Beautiful game out of Edwin. Let's get him a damn win. Wow... Are there still people on soxtalk that think the Jackson trade was a bad idea?

Wow. This is going to be interesting...

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 04:02 PM) To take that even a step further, I don't even see it as retaliation I see it as setting a tone. It was no accident that the Twins hit our batters 4 times....just as it was no accident when Torii Hunter blasted the s*** out of Jaime Burke at homeplate a couple of seasons ago. Gardenhire does these things to make sure his team is the alpha male in the relationship....it's high time Ozzie quits sititng back complimenting the Twins and instead takes a page out of Gardy's book and has his guys do some tone-setting of their own. Start a brawl! Hit a couple batters! Annihilate a fielder on a slide! Do something to remind the Twins that they're in your park and you're in charge. Yes, I was very disappointed by that Twins series Now THIS is what I'm talking about! Make their pitchers - and every other pitcher - think twice before throwing at one of our guys. Where's the spirit of this ball club when we play the twins? I had a good view of the Sox dugout last night, and they looked as they were just sitting there. It didn't look like they were chatting or cheering or anything. The only thing I saw was Paulie kick something while grabbing his bats after the game was over. And this was after everyone had left. I know this sounds stupid... hell I'll probably read this later and wonder WTF I was thinking, but I want a brawl. I really do. Show each other and fans that you care about winning and don't give a f*** about the twins. Maybe that will inject some spirit into the club. I'm sorry, but that game last night was just awful. If not a brawl, then at least get in somebody's face and let them know that you're alive.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 02:51 PM) He's been hit by 3 pitches in 2 days and has been struggling a lot with the bats lately. But we shouldn't retaliate

After last night it's hard to get excited. Section 526 was FULL of twins fans. That was hands down the worst game that I have ever been to. But with that being said, I want a serious ass whuppin tonight. And if one of our batters get hit, I wanna hit 2 of theirs. This s*** has to stop. Let's beat Detroit's ass, then go up to Minny with a chip on our shoulder. This "respect" for the twins and Gardenhire is starting to get out of hand. If a bench clearing brawl is what it'll take to ignite this team, then so be it. I'm tired of the White Sox getting punked out.

I can't understand how he became so brutal at the plate like that all of a sudden. I mean I know the PED thing (which I don't think there's a link), is there, but he was raking in the beginning of the season. What happened? The other day he swung at a pitch that hit the ground a foot before the plate. Why?

Giants got Jose Guillen

Well the Giants just got Jose Guillen. The pickins' are getting slim...

I wonder if it would help if Manny came out and just said that he is only interested in playing for the White Sox, and any other team that tries to claim him is just wasting their time because he won't be happy playing for them? Probably not, but I would think twice about claiming a guy if he said that. I'd be afraid that I would get stuck with the contract of a malcontent.

I hope he doesn't listen to Ozzie again this offseason. Please get us another bat or 2.

Just saw Paulie kick some s*** around in the dugout. That's the first time I've ever seen him show any emotion.

I saw Jenks walking gingerly down the clubhouse stairs. Well, guess it's time foe Linebrink to stretch those neck muscles twisting around watching balls fly outta here.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 12, 2010 -> 08:50 PM) Sounds like a lot of Twins fans in the house tonight. I'm here in sect 526 and there are a LOT of those f***ers here tonight.

Good Lord Carlos...
