Ken Williams is pushing all of his chips on getting Manny Ramirez, a major league source said. According to the source, Williams thinks the addition of Manny would be a boost to the entire team.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Does Manny allow them to win 124% of their remaining 55 games so they'd be able to compete with the Twins?

According to my calculations that would be winning 68.2 games of the remaining 55.

I've got a life vest on, and I'm slowly lowering the lifeboat, but I've not quite abandoned ship just yet.

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

The White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers may be closing in on a deal to send Dodgers outfielder Manny Ramirez to the South Side in exchange for minor league prospects.

The deal appeared to be close Wednesday when reports surfaced that Ramirez was claimed by the Sox on waivers. The right-handed slugger must approve any potential deal because he has a no-trade clause in his contract. But Ramirez may have approved a move, having said he wants to return to the American League next season when he becomes a free agent.

The Dodgers appeared to be trying to negotiate a trade instead of allowing Ramirez to be claimed outright without compensation, with the Sox having only to pay his remaining salary.

Sources confirmed the Dodgers were reviewing scouting reports on some of the Sox minor league players in anticipation of a deal.

Kenny Got Edwin Jackson just before the trade deadline and he's done a good job. It seemed like the relief corp. was the least of his concerns back then. He was unable to go get the bat (Dunn) he was looking for and Manny would fit that need (IF he's healthy enough) for the stretch. Unfortunately, the bullpen is in shambles and unless the guys he brings up from the minor leagues contribute more than one might reasonably expect, I'm not sure Manny can make much of a difference. But he probably puts some fans in empty seats and Kenny gets credit for trying....why not?

The SCORE's Matt "The Dancing Fool" Rodewald, who is doing updates this afternoon with "Boers & Bernstein", says that even though Manny Ramirez's contract expires after this season, the money is spread out and that Manny's owed $15 million for next year. Although FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal tweeted earlier today that the Sox would put in a claim towards Manny, Rosenthal wrote a column in which he wasn't so sure it's worth it either. Keep in mind Manny is 38 years old, has been on the DL 3 times with leg injuries this year and can no longer play the outfield. He can still hit, but would Manny's shtick be tolerated with Ozzie here in Chicago or with the Drew Carey-looking Joe Maddon down in Tampa? I'm not so sure he's worth the aggravation.

Bully Hendry would have signed Harper for 2.5 Billion over 30 years

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

You guys really want to send prospects from a stressed farm system to rent this guy for 6 weeks?

Considering I don't trust Kenny's "prospects", why the hell not. This team is going to wind up being the fucking Pirates if someone doesn't stop Kenny's meglomaniacal ways.

they have been good at developing productive players the last several years...Alexei, Crede, Juan Uribe, even back to Magglio and Carlos Lee...and pitchers Jenks, Floyd, Danks, Buerhle, etc...

I still question the Rowand for Thome trade after u won a World Series...other than Thome and Juan Pierre, most have been busts, especially the rent-a-players (griffey, etc.)

Manny would probably help us, but we better not mortgage the farm to do it
