hopefully one run stands up today. f*** the Tigers.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 01:44 PM) Scott Downs had a positive WAR? ...enough said.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 23, 2014 -> 04:48 AM) Better make that Carl Crawford/Andre Ethier. Why am I so thoroughly convinced if KW was still the GM that Carl coming over with a huge contract subsidy from the Dodgers would be the biggest move of the offseason? Considering the Sox need a lefthanded bat and a decent outfielder, that move would make total sense (from KennyGM's perspective). I'd imagine its more like another Eaton type the Sox target... though.

call John Hart and fleece the Braves into trading Luis Avilan to be a primary leftie in the bullpen. Walks bit him in the ass this season, which I am sure is an easy fix for the vastly superior Sox coaching staff. Robin'll fix 'em

I am level 24, only because I had enough "strange coins" to buy legendary armor of Friday when the vendor appeared. All the guys in my clan are level 27 or higher. Only reason they want me in the clan is because I rock at PvP... ha. Destiny is an awesome game. The reviews baffle me. Its as if the reviewers played the story mode and stopped playing. The game doesn't really "start" until you get to level 20.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 16, 2014 -> 11:55 PM) Oh man, the trade in price on Watchdogs PLUMMITED over the past week. It was listed at $36 a week ago on Gamestop. Now it's like $17 or $18. Yikes. Guess I'll hold on to this or try to sell it to a friend for like $25. Not surprising. A) there's a whole lot of copies of watch_dogs out there since it sold so well. B) Its a mediocre game that lots of players have moved on from... Me personally, I will play the DLC with T-Bone since he was one of the more interesting characters in the game before I "move on".

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 18, 2014 -> 08:22 AM) My favorite is the soccer ball. You would think that old men would want MORE dick preservatives, not LESS.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 16, 2014 -> 11:29 AM) Ha I heard that and it bothered me as well. Something really stupid to be bothered by but oh well. Did they mean the top lefthanded pitchers that were available for trade?

QUOTE (TRU @ Sep 15, 2014 -> 07:58 AM) I heard you, people in the same fireteam can communicate through chat. I just didn't have a mic on so I couldn't respond. Make sure your audio settings are set to "Mixed" or hybrid or whatever they call it. Otherwise it is REALLY hard to hear commentary from the fireteam.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Sep 13, 2014 -> 10:31 PM) PS4 Destiny is great, but really is so much better when playing with friends. PSN: Grimtal if anyone wants to squad up.

I know this is completely random, but I was watching Major League on Netflix tonight and I noticed something in the opening "historical" sequence... When the sequence is cutting through old newspaper headlines mocking the Indians, there is a picture of Buddy Bell falling over trying to catch a popup.

So what is everyone's favorite "under the radar" game this year so far? I know the next gen systems have very minimal selections of games... but let's all pick one.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 03:12 PM) Add me on PSN for Destiny if you want: rowdyruss22 Favorite gun thus far are the Cydonia's. PS3 or PS4?

Ron Washington resigns as manager of the Rangers for "personal reasons" not related to team performance. I wonder if this has to do with his cocaine issues stemming back a few years.... I hope he comes out of it 100%. He seems like a really likable person

Greg is probably referring specifically to PK's numbers against Jimmy Gobble. Konerko was like 7/10 with 6 HR and a 2B.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 3, 2014 -> 12:26 PM) Caulfield is the king of making polls where you "choose one" and one of the options has multiple players. This is the Soxtalk equivalent to Hawk's "He's the best 2-strike, in the bottom half of an inning, bases empty, with an infield shift, inside fastball - hitter I've ever seen, Stone Pony..."

Padres just DFA'd Troy Patton. Once a top prospect, he did pitch decently in his 7.2 IP this season. Maybe a loogy waiver claim? I wonder if he'll make it through the NL to the ChiSox thou.

at least the Sox now have 2 lefties in the bullpen (to walk the ONE guy they were brought in to face)

can someone queue up the bad slide gif?

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Aug 31, 2014 -> 09:21 AM) Wilkins, Sierra and Snodgress in the clubhouse, per Merkin Sierra would be in the clubhouse regardless. Fake DL stints likely mean the player stays with the team.

I doubt Adam Dunn cares that you don't "appreciate" him.

QUOTE (Señor Ding-Dong @ Aug 28, 2014 -> 01:51 PM) Punch their ticket to where? Charlotte? Both Rienzo and Carroll have had stretches of good performance in the past. It'd be nice to not have to rely on them in the rotation, but I'm sure they'll spend next season shuffling between Charlotte and Chicago in a bullpen and spot start role. Nonsense. They are both terrible. I find it hard to believe the Sox have any plans for them other than to make sure better pitchers take both spots on next year's roster.

If he pitches well, this probably punches the ticket for Rienzo and Carroll next season. That'd be something, to get that righthanded power arm balance for the rotation without the Sox diving into the deep end of the free agent market. If you'd like to congratulate him, do so here: https://twitter.com/C_Bass419

Sweet. So we'd have 33% of the lineup with no batting gloves. Now we need some pitchers that throw palmballs.
