QUOTE (oneofthemikes @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 10:19 AM) Someone the other day mentioned Carlos Gonzalez. I feel like it's too much to hope for, but it'd be nice. I hope if that's the case they keep Viciedo for CarGo's obligitory 100-game DL stint.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Sep 30, 2014 -> 09:24 AM) SP Sale SP Quintana SP Noesi SP Danks SP Carroll*Agents RP Petricka RP Webb RP Putnam RP Guerra RP Bassitt RP Surkamp RP Veal* *Positions to upgrade in FA or via trade If the White Sox want to contend in 2015, they will need to make substantial upgrades to the bullpen, especially how they combat lefthanded hitters in late-game situations. Seemingly all of the major league free agent signings Hahn has made thus far have been borderline disasters, but his non-roster signings have been pretty surprising. Let's hope there's a plan to acquire some better options than Surkamp, Veal, etc... just having a loogy in the bullpen for the sake of having a loogy in the bullpen doesn't make much sense when someone like Putnam can get better results against lefties than a AAA bust like Surkamp or an aging vet like Downs.

QUOTE (daggins @ Sep 29, 2014 -> 10:15 PM) It was a stipulation of the contract. Compensation goes up to 26.5 mil if he gets super two status. His contract is so ludicrously under market that I am not even close to upset about this. Pay the man. He's earned it.

reading the tea leaves, it sounds like he really pissed off someone in the front office...

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 02:51 PM) Probably still mad about 05 KILLER BEEEEEEEES!!!

Meanwhile, Bud Selig has announced that MLB will suspend Chris Sale for the remainder of the season for intentionally hitting Victor Martinez with a pitch.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 03:06 PM) Beli leading an event that requires running is actually quite surprising to me. Now I could see him squeezing himself in front of Miggy and behind Sale at a buffet line. Cabrera would be at the bar pounding all the Crown Royal.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 03:04 PM) The least surprising thing about benches clearing was either Belisario leading the bullpen pack or Belisario getting in between Sale and Cabrera talking. Cabrera 0-4 with 4 Ks.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 02:00 PM) Is Sale narcissitic that he thinks VMART who has owned him over his career is stealing signs? What was more telling is that VMart shrugged it all off standing at 1B and did little if nothing to engage Sale verbally after the HBP.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 01:34 PM) I Love this White Sox bullpen.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 01:06 PM) Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 4m We now know who Sale tipped his hat to earlier in the game. He thought pitches were being stolen/tipped apparently Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 3m Martinez stared at Sale all the way down the line. He said something to Sale. Sale answered and he pointed with his glove to CF ....I have no idea what is goin on right now This is exactly what was going on. Watch the video on mlb.com. You can clearly read Sale yelling "Gonna look out there, huh?" Pointing to the same place he was pointing to the previous inning. Then, Cooper and Scherzer got into it walking off the field.

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?
