QUOTE (oldsox @ Sep 26, 2013 -> 10:22 PM) Why irrelevant? Because the Sox don't make the top 20 lists.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Sep 26, 2013 -> 10:30 PM) Thread revival. Kiley McDaniel's Top 50 2014 MLB Draft Prospects as of August 21st. Going to start my draft research/familiarization a few months earlier than usual. http://mlb.scout.com/2/1318151.html It would be great if Braxton Davidson has an awesome senior year and works his way to a top 3-5 pick. Athletic left-handed 1B who is considered the best pure hitter in the draft and was hitting upperdeck shots at the Metrodome when he was 16? Sign me up. Put Viciedo at 1B for few years while this kid develops, and then slide him right in to 1st base. I don't see any other good offensive lefties in our system for the future, especially none at 1B (sorry Andy Wilkins, you are my AAP, but let's be honest).

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Sep 26, 2013 -> 07:36 PM) Truly sad for me. I have been buying them and Madden since the beginning. Those two and The Show are the only games I really play each year. I can feel my video game days slipping away. The good news for me is that Gran Turismo 6 is coming out December 6th. And Watch Dogs comes out Nov. 15th. Until about a month ago, the typically only bought 2 sports games a year, MLB The Show and NHL, but just in the last month I have purchased GTA 5, NHL 14, Bully, RDR: Undead Nightmare, Max Payne 3, Watchdogs, and GTA: Stories from Liberty City. It's amazing what living on your own for the first time can do to ya. Severe boredom.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 26, 2013 -> 01:43 PM) I have about 5 missions left until I beat the story mode in GTA V. Yeah, I feel like I am getting close to. I just did the mission where you travel OUT of San Andreas, which feels like it's towards the end of the storyline.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 26, 2013 -> 10:56 PM) Prison break jumped the shark real early for me. Sopranos is still numba one for me. #2 is Seinfeld. Yeah, the last season or two was really farfetched, when they started getting in to that "company" s***. But I've never seen The Wire, The Sopranos, Lost, or a lot of those TV shows that everyone loved. Prison Break was the first show I ever watched week-to-week, and S3 of Breaking Bad was the next show I ever watched week-to-week. Didn't have cable until I was maybe in high school (2005), and have never had DVR or any sort or premium packages.

Breaking Bad is easily the greatest show I've ever seen. Prison Break would be 2nd for me.

Ah, I totally forgot to add Scotty Pods to my list.

Yeah, I was very disappointed by The Bling Ring. Great soundtrack, and Emma Watson was looking sexy, but awful story.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 06:23 PM) that's not how it works...we would need the Cubs and Twins not to get swept. Lol, yes, of course, I was thinking backwards. Yikes.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 10:27 PM) No way it was mutual. No chance Kessel wanted to drop the gloves with Scott. Probably another case of Danica Patrick Syndrome. She would run her mouth and get in the face of guys because she knew they wouldnt do anything back. Kessel was running his mouth thinking Scott wouldnt go after him. Well turns out he did. I think if Clarkson didnt come off the bench, Kessel would have been suspended for a handful of regular season games. But I think it being a major Canadian team, the league didnt want to handcuff them too much to start the season. If I didnt need more reasons to dislike the Leaves. I'm not sure anyone has and should never have that mentality with John Scott. John Scott would probably fight his grandmother if she looked at him wrong. I doubt Kessel was surprised that Scott wanted to drop the gloves.

Check out this trade..... Ryan Matthews for DeSean Jackson. Thoughts?

Tonight should be an easy loss, and then our magic # is down to 1, which means we can pretty much root for the Sox to win out the rest of the year, because there is no way the Cubs sweep the Cardinals and the Twins sweep the Indians.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 05:44 PM) Tonight's League is supposed to heavily feature Rafi and Dirty Randy, so I'm even more excited than normal. Good, because I thought last week's episode with Cutler was really bad. Was Ruxin even in the episode at all?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 04:20 PM) That's still just speculation and assumptions. I wanted a cold hard confession without any doubt, and for them to be able to close all these unsolved cases.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 03:36 PM) 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. I assume it meant a league star.

Joe Crede, Brandon McCarthy, Herbert Perry

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 25, 2013 -> 01:55 PM) Leaving the bench is automatic. That makes sense. I'm not disagreeing, I'm saying that Kessel should have received a worse punishment than the 10 games that Clarkson got, which I think is highly excessive of a rule.

I was hoping Dexter would end with him and Saxson in a room together at the police station, which did happen, but I was hoping that scene would include Batista and Quinn and Saxson would say something like "That b**** deserved to die" or something, and Dexter would flip out and start stabbing the s*** out of Saxson and kill him right in front of Batista and Quinn, and then that would somehow lead to Dexter either confessing that he was the Bay Harbor Butcher, and the show would either end with Dexter getting capital punishment, or him killing himself, or him escaping. But either way, I wanted Batista and Quinn to find out who Dexter really was.

Yet one of the Leafs' players got suspended longer than Kessel did, simply because he left the bench to fight. I guess entering the ice to fight is much worse than using your stick as a weapon with intent to injure on a defenseless player. Makes sense.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 24, 2013 -> 07:25 PM) 3 preseason games. Sounds about right. I assume you are being sarcastic, because that suspension is a joke. Wow, suspend a veteran from playing meaningless preseason games? I'M SURE HE IS ALL HEARTBROKEN ABOUT IT. f***ing stupid. Give him 5 regular season games.

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 It's been over 100 days since Giambi's last walk off HR against us? EDIT: No, it hasn't it's been 56 days. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/30/j..._n_3676346.html

Phil Kessel is suspended for 3 games.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 24, 2013 -> 01:05 PM) Couldn't you just on demand it? Or watch it online, like I did.

I don't know if anyone saw Conan last night, but the entire episode was Breaking Bad themed. He had the entire cast on the show, he did all Breaking Bad skits, he had the mexican band who did the Ballad of Heisenberg perform that song on TV, he had Vince Gilligan there, it was wonderful. Here are a couple funny skits.....

Vince Gilligan said on his "tease" for next week that the title is also an anagram for "Finale".
