QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 28, 2013 -> 09:55 AM) So we have a D-Rose situation in New England. Pats think he's ready, his "camp" does not. This guy.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Sep 28, 2013 -> 09:34 AM) Never thought I would consider benching Andre Johnson this early, but anyone who has him, are you playing him... banged up and all, against Seattle? I'm considering starting Kendall Wright (facing Jets defense) over him. He's driving me nuts this week too. Not only is he banged up and playing the Seahawks but I also have their d. Still, I think because he gets so many targets and I'm in a half ppr, I have to play him.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 27, 2013 -> 09:48 PM) Bell could be worth hanging onto, certainly more value than Glennon right now. He may start and get a lot of touches this week, depending on your rbs moving forward, could play on bye weeks etc. Sudfeld? Why was he on your roster after week 1? Who are your qbs that you need Glennon? Bell could possibly be a lot better than that, he's got a chance to be a good one.

I haven't seen The Sopranos or The Wire and never finished The Shield but the consenus anywhere you look seems to be that all those shows despite being fantastic all had a bad season or two mixed in, where BB has just been fantastic from start to finish here(obviously depending on the actual ending).

Haven't read the article yet but Glockner's great, I'm sure there was a bunch of research put into this.

The Bulls are winning the Championship this year(just for you J4L), so I'm going with that choice.

I never get sentimental about this stuff, I'll always love Paulie for what he did here but I hope he's retiring.

QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 27, 2013 -> 05:28 AM) If Sale had 20 wins on a crappy team like this, how many of us would be pointing towards wins to build his case? Not many of us.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Sep 27, 2013 -> 10:01 AM) Sickels has always leaned more heavily on statistical success in the minors than most of the 'pop scouts.' Hard to ignore Johnson/Semien though, given that they avoided embarrassing themselves at the ML level this year. We might have 2 top 100 guys next year, isn't it exciting? Lol Not arguing with you but based on stats alone, you'd think Johnson and Semien would be ranked even higher.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 26, 2013 -> 01:29 PM) I don't think I'd call Ventura laid back. He gets on guys quite a bit. I'd say his temperament is better described as calm. And Ozzie was all talk in that regard. All talk, no action.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 26, 2013 -> 11:39 AM) Breaking Bad is incredibly overrated by those caught up in the moment, but it's still pretty good. Definitely worth watching through it.

Keppinger certainly deserves an F. Axelrod I would say does not, he was a serviceable starter for about 2 months this year and for that I'd rate him a tad over failing.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Sep 26, 2013 -> 07:05 AM) Gomez was waaay out of line. I hope they throw the book at him. No excuse for that behavior. He should get into professional wrestling. Watching a homerun is waaay out of line? Sure, there's no reason for him to showboat but it's no big deal if the Braves didn't start jawing at him. Baseball "fights" are just stupid.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 05:05 PM) In general, there's probably a bit too much stock put into matchups. Don't overplay matchups. You play your best guys. Bring matchups into play when guys are closely ranked/expectations are relatively the same. All of this is relative to who else you have, but I don't see any way you have so much depth that you're sitting Lynch, a sure-fire top 10 RB, if not top 5. You can't over think those types of decisions and get too cute. Sure, Lynch and Moreno may not get much if their team is up big, but they could have been the ones to have 2 tds to get them to that point. You just don't know. I'd rather play my studs and hope for the best even if it's just 3 quarters. You can never expect/assume a blowout situation anyway. This is something I'm with you on 100 percent. Obviously there's some matchups you can't ignore but in general I believe people over think fantasy some times.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 04:41 PM) Chris Singleton There's another one for me. He was my favorite player on the Sox when I first got into baseball.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 02:54 PM) No real definition, I just didn't want the thread to be people arguing about what is a "star" and what is not. I wasn't arguing for the record, just putting my reason across really. Good calls on Graff and Wunsch by whoever brought those up. Loved both of those guys. And as Tex said, Graff made me love him even more after game 2 of the ALDS in 05.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 02:32 PM) Ray Durham, Willie Davis. I'd say Ray counts as a White Sox star though he wasn't an actual MLB star, same reason I didn't mention Aaron.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 02:31 PM) Oh and, Pablo Ozuna. His throwing a guy out from LF, the squirrel chase... he was a guy who clearly just loved playing, and had fun doing it. I'll second Pablo, loved watching that guy play when he was here. Where's the Ben Davis fan club?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 01:49 PM) that might actually be a great thread topic. Guess Wite's 2 favorite White Sox players?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 12:57 PM) Yes. It was heading for the gap and Vlad cut it off well, but he bobbled it a little as Timo was retreating to 1B and he didn't have enough time to get a hustle double. I'm sure there were other memories of him too, those are just the two that stick out in my head. He definitely had a decent amount of go ahead hits in late innings. As I've grown older, I don't really believe in "clutchness" in baseball like I did when I was younger but at the time I loved Timo because I believed he was a clutch hitter.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 11:17 AM) I genuinely do not believe anybody that says they liked Timo Perez. He had some epic moments (and that is not a word I use lightly), but he sucked. I loved Timo. You're a poopy head.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 24, 2013 -> 09:41 PM) Yes, and Aksana mine. Ya I saw your text this morning, not a fan of her to be honest.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 24, 2013 -> 05:35 PM) It's was pretty insane sitting in the middle of 15,000 people doing the YES! Not sure if they got a good wide shot of it on TV. Did you give AJ my number?

Ray Allen is going with "Jesus Shuttlesworth" which is awesome.
