I don't think Manuel can make anything clear to anyone.

Example:

What Jerry thinks:



"We don't need a home run here. Just get on base."

What he actually says:



"Urbinedum eep gerzoid. Stabim ropish gundun."

I know. What are the odds that someone's grandmother would die at this point in the baseball season.

Best wishes, Tony! You are in my prayers!

Yeah, but then isn't it time for the switch-hitting Aaron Miles to get his first start?

In the midst of all the offensive darkness, jon looks sharp tonight, thank god because we are gonna need him...

Crede's a big boy. He should know what to do. JM shouldn't need to straight out tell him he doesn't need to hit a home run.

That being said, JM's job is to get into a conversation with Crede about his approach. That doesn't happen, and I bet if someone asked JM why it doesn't happen, he'd say, "Well, Joe's a major league hitter," or something to that effect.

Six outs, six pop ups is disgusting. It ain't all Rogers. It's a weak team approach ... thank God Everett knew he didn't need to hit a home run.

EDIT: And credit to Konerko too.

[MetalliSox]

Let's throw some leather, why don't we? Rack em up!

[oheeoh...magglio]

Rack 'em up baby, boy hunter was flying down the line, great hustle!

[ode to veeck]

"You bums better give me more than 30 sec breaks between innings and hit more than popups tonight, cause I'm gonna mow these Twinks down!!"

[Jurr]

Yeah, that stuff happens all the time. My grandmother died 11 times in undergrad.

Defense is hanging in good. All we need is a little offense and this game belongs to the Sox.

Our defense has been outstanding lately.
