QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Oct 4, 2014 -> 10:50 AM) Brace yourself for a KC - STL World Series Don Denkinger should throw out the first pitch. I'm enjoying the Royals play. Speed kills, and their bullpen is what you need.

Going down with the ship on those sac bunts, huh?

Serious gas from Finnegan. Maybe he shoulda been in there in the 6th.

QUOTE (LDF @ Sep 30, 2014 -> 10:26 PM) I was never a fan of shields. so in all honesty I really can't gage on not wanting him on the sox. is it age? salary? yrs? To me, he's a right handed Buehrle. Lots of innings, which is great. He makes his starts. But going into his age 33 season, who knows how long that can last. I don't see a fit with the Sox if he's looking to break the bank.

I wouldn't give him 4 years at his age. I'd rather have Bassitt hold a spot until Rodon is ready. Sox need to think bullpen a lot more than starting pitching.

Sal Perez...dude.

Hopefully Angels-Orioles ALCS. Tigers-A's and Giants-Cardinals would suck balls.

Sale didn't handle himself very well last week. He's a good guy, but he messed up. It happens.

Greg Walker "stepped down" as Braves hitting coach.

Who are you rooting for to make the World Series, in order of preference? American League 1. Royals 2. Angels 3. Orioles 4. A's 5. Tigers National League 1. Pirates 2. Nationals 3. Dodgers 4. Giants 5. Cardinals Hopefully the A's, Giants, Cardinals, and Tigers will be gone before the ALCS and NLCS...especially the Tigers and Cardinals.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 28, 2014 -> 02:41 PM) Incredible catch to give Zimmermann a no no Saw that live. That was clutch.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Sep 28, 2014 -> 08:57 AM) Make it happen. ANARCHY! Looking like a goose egg on Game 163's.

I stunk, but here are the answers (unless something changes in the next two innings): Record and runs scored after 100 games? 48-52, 428 runs Who will represent the Sox at the All Star Game? Alexei, Abreu, Sale Paul Konerko total plate appearances 224 More starts at 2B this season--Gordon Beckham or Marcus Semien? Beckham 100, Semien 25 More starts at 3B this season--Conor Gillaspie or Matt Davidson? Gillaspie 120, Davidson 0 Date of Matt Davidson's first game with the Sox? To be determined How many total homers will the Sox hit? Last year was 148. 155 Jose Abreu's traditional numbers AVG-HR-RBIs in how many games played? .317-36-107 in 145 games Number of Felipe Paulino starts 4 Chris Sale's win total 12 Will John Danks be on the White Sox in August--yes or no? Yes Will Adam Dunn be on the White Sox in September--yes or no? No Will Adrian Nieto stay on the 25-man all year (DL counts)--yes or no? Yes

Three 163's possible... Royals win/Tigers lose Mariners win/A's lose Pirates win/Cardinals lose

Robin Ventura played his last game for the Sox 16 years ago today, and hit a homer off the Royals Tim Belcher. 45 days later the Sox traded Mike Cameron for Paul Konerko.

QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Sep 26, 2014 -> 11:49 PM) Is there a tie-breaker game? I thought if it ended in a tie Detroit wins the division because of the head-to-head record vs. KC? They'll play a 163 if there is a tie. The season series just decides where they play it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 25, 2014 -> 11:06 AM) One of my favorite personal PK favorites was the game against the Cubs where were down early something like 7 or 8 runs really early. The Cub fans just owned the park at that point. Then the Sox scored like 13 runs and won the game, and just destroyed every single Cub fan in the building and around the city. Ditto

Konerko's salute to the fans. http://m.mlb.com/video/v36552901/a-persona...om-paul-konerko

Rangers just won. Diamondbacks pretty much have the 1st pick locked up.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 10:03 PM) So with the loss tonight and subsequent wins by the Cubs and Philly, do we move up to the 9th pick in front of Philly? What's the tiebreaker, inter league record? Last year's record is the tie breaker. Sox magic number for a protected pick is 2 over the Marlins and 1 over the Padres. Sox will pick 9th, 10th, or 11th.

Royals lost KC 86-72 (4 at Sox) Oak 86-72 (4 at Tex) Sea 83-75 (1 at Tor, 3 vs LAA) Cle 83-76 (off, 3 vs TB) Tigers AL Central Magic Number is 3. They play four in Minnesota. Royals should probably celebrate when they clinch the WC, but they'll be playing hard to host the A's. Royals hold the tie-breaker over the A's.

A's lost. Mariners lost. Tigers clinched at least a wildcard. 5-4 Indians over Royals, top 6

Buehrle wins. His first win next season will be his 200th.
