Happy 3rd pick day..................G. Holland's numbers as closer for Royals this year have been stellar.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 26, 2013 -> 03:55 PM) Awesome. Very cool of Girardi. I hope Yankees/Rays game is a blowout and MO gets to play CF in front on home fans late in the game. Mo deserves it.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 26, 2013 -> 03:56 PM) https://twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/38333...4059904/photo/1 A win avoids 100 losses. A loss clinches the 3rd pick in the draft. Make it 100 losses and the 3rd pick Santa.

According to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, Robinson Cano has asked the Yankees for a $300 million contract .It's another strong indication that the impending free agent second baseman is headed to the open market. Cano won't come close to $300 million in the end, but the final sum to sign him might creep near $200 million. The 30-year-old Roc Nation client is batting .315/.384/.519 with 27 home runs and 106 RBI in 157 games this season. Per Rotoworld Good luck with that Cano.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 24, 2013 -> 02:46 PM) What a joke. Stolen from http://illiniboard.com/2013/09/24/penn-sta...nctions-lifted/ The NCAA is consistently inconsistent.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 11:08 PM) Does Chet Lemon count? Chet Lemon, Eric Soderholm, Joe Crede, Bobby Jenks and of course RON (hit in on the roof, please) KITTLE Chet was a all star.

Jerry Hairston Sr....................pinch hitting specialist.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 09:12 PM) I would love to see Tank leave his tank treads on another teams field next year. Sox have a bunch of retreads, I would like to see somewhere else in 2014.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 08:56 PM) When the Sox lose 3 out of 4 this weekend, they can finish 63-99 wearing the 83 uniforms. They went 99-63 in '83. Sad

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 08:47 PM) A reliever who walks a lot is a bad idea. He is not the future agree.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 08:30 PM) 2-17 in a season series. That's incredible. Coaching staff house cleaning should happen on those 19 games alone. De Aza K rate is beyond s***ty for a leadoff man.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 08:21 PM) Last time Axelrod ever takes the field in a Sox uniform! If we are lucky.

Axelrod opponents best friend.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 08:43 AM) He's being offered Drew for those WRs. No to Drew.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFan05 @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 09:22 AM) Will Floyd be re-signed? Completely forgot about him. Hell no!

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 24, 2013 -> 11:34 PM) Ok I have a fantasy trade question. I'm in a 12 team league, I'm stacked at WR with Calvin Johnson, Julio Jones, and Victor Cruz. I can play all 3 at once because of the Flex position and I have DeAndre Hopkins as my 4th WR. But I'm very weak at RB. I have Arian Foster and Rashard Mendenhall as my 2 running backs. Chris Ivory and Micheal Bush are now my only 2 backups. So I basically have nothing at the RB. So naturally someone who's heavy at RB and weak at WR approached me and gave me 3 trade possibilities. 1. Victor Cruz for Maurice Jones-Drew 2. Julio Jones for Maurice Jones-Drew 3. DeAndre Hopkins for Ben Tate. He also has Fred Jackson, CJ Spiller, Ryan Matthews and Ahmad Bradshaw for RB's. Think any of those 3 trades might be a good idea? Or asking for another RB instead? Help please! I'm 3-0 right now whereas he's 0-3 so he probably is pretty desperate. Trade Drew as fast as you can take the WR you like best from 1 and 2.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Sep 24, 2013 -> 09:18 PM) Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 38s Jason Giambi is the oldest person ever to hit a walk-off home run at 42 years, 258 days. The previous oldest? Hank Aaron at 42 and 157. Expand Sox love to be part of history just the wrong side.

2013 season in one inning Sox lose 5-4. Some Indian fan has to have a voodoo doll with a Sox jersey.

2 HR's in ninth been a long time. Meaningless wins 101.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 24, 2013 -> 04:11 PM) Ventura weighs in. South Side Sox ‏@SouthSideSox 2m "It affected his throwing, but swinging a bat? That was pure, 100-percent Keppinger. Literally, it's the most he can do." Wow................. Is 90 plus losses and playing like crap in September 2 years in a row the most RV can do?

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 24, 2013 -> 03:26 PM) Just to be exact, the Sox Magic Numbers are: Cubs - 4 Twins - 3 Mariners-1 3-3 for the Sox, with the Cubs going 1-4 gets the Sox the 3rd pick. No need to play .500 ball now.

Jeff Keppinger is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery Thursday on his right shoulder. The 33-year-old infielder wound up batting just .253 with a .283 on-base percentage and .317 slugging percentage in 451 plate appearances this season. Keppinger is under contract with the White Sox through 2015. It's not clear whether he'll be ready for the start of 2014. Per Rotoworld

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 24, 2013 -> 12:04 PM) As a chemist, yeah I would agree that is most definitely what the title means. Breaking Bad tested Chemist approved

Punk's promo last night was very good.
