QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 12, 2014 -> 01:24 AM) We're frustrated cause he stunk in Chicago. Who is to blame is the question. He sucked if all you remembered was him screwing up. But you probably forgot he hit .270/.335/.405 with the Sox the last 5 years. But De Aza is what he is. He's a 4th OFer on a good team and a starter on a bad team (which we have been for the past 2 years). If you take a look back at De Aza's first stint with us, he hit even better than he's hitting now in Baltimore and that was over 54 games, not 20.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Oct 11, 2014 -> 08:55 PM) This promise was made years ago and all I've seen is pushback on the date. Don't get me wrong, I love what they're doing, but at the moment, and for the foreseeable future, these are cars for rich people, by rich people...so forgive my lack of excitement until it actually happens. And make no mistake, the 30k model will NOT be this model, nor anything close to it. I'd buy one if the infrastructure was there. I'd have to live paycheck by paycheck to keep up with the payments though. Maybe when I get a few more raises.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 11, 2014 -> 10:32 AM) I'm going to have to, but stlll too obsessed with NHL to dive into that right now. I heard the server issues are unbearable, the game is more or less unplayable right now because of it. I think I'll wait. I'm still playing a ton of FIFA. I haven't even started playing Destiny yet.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 11, 2014 -> 07:35 PM) KC just looks like a team of destiny. I feel like what we're saying about KC is what other fans said about us when we made our run in 2005. Moustakas is pretty much Joe Crede at this point.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 11, 2014 -> 10:13 PM) A lot "on here?" Blame the White Sox front office and coaches. He was a headcase in Chicago with all those mental mistakes on the basepaths and miscues in the outfield. The Sox pretty much were forced to dump him for little to nothing in return. Even Hawk and Stoney got on him on TV he was so bad. If he's a great ballplayer, it doesn't look good that the Sox were not able to bring it out of him. People on here absolutely s*** on De Aza whenever they got the opportunity, you included.

I got a free Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 with my ATT Gigapower. I used it for 5 minutes and decided I didn't want it. Touchwiz is just awful. I can't imagine how Samsung can take the stock Android UI and just crap all over it.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 02:27 PM) How would the deputy get it then if he merely was in the guy's apartment checking it out? Guy leaves body fluids in apartment, deputy gets exposed somehow. It's not even proven that the deputy has ebola.

QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 12:08 PM) Game 1 looking wet in Baltimore. Would be interesting if they had to play 5 days in row. Both teams have 5 guys they can start. But not having Shields for game 4 could hurt the Royals more than the O's.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 12:10 PM) Hardy back with the O's at 3 years 40 million. O's also trying to reach an extension with Nelson Cruz. I have to wonder how long Hardy's has until his defense deteriorates. He hasn't exactly been a great hitter the past three years. $13 million a year to a 3 WAR shortstop is a no-brainer in this market, but you have to wonder how long Hardy can sustain that production.

QUOTE (MEANS @ Oct 9, 2014 -> 11:48 AM) Yeah I haven't laughed that hard in a while, especially when Stan just passed out and fell over. I love how each episode is connected this season. I also read that Matt and Trey tried the whole Gluten free thing and still are gluten free as well as the people who's names on the credits have GF by their name. Well of course, who would want their dick to fly off?

Last night's SP was hilarious. They actually got Lorde to guest-star on the show (at least a lot of people think they did).

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Oct 8, 2014 -> 11:19 AM) I'm not sure how useful multi-windows is on small screens, beyond a few use cases. My monitor at home is 27" and it's quite useful to have multiple windows open side by side by side, but on sub 17" monitors, I tend to just full screen everything because of the limited space. I think this issue compounds itself on even smaller tablet sized screens which are already limited for productivity apps which tend to require a lot of space, especially when considering the virtual keyboard...and I highly doubt people are connecting 6" phones to a external keyboard in most cases. The only real use for something like this that I can see actually wanting to use is one window being music controls/spotify (for people who use it), and the other being maps for driving around. A lot of people like texting/messaging while watching videos. That's the main use for it on mobile.

Anyone get NBA 2K15?

QUOTE (Jake @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 08:22 PM) They're making the next Nexus that big to get developers a reference device for that screen size That could be one reason. But if they released a 5 inch phone again, the multi-window feature wouldn't be all that useful.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 03:32 PM) You know who I like and think is underrated, Alex Smith. He'd have been the type of guy that would have been a nice fit in Trestman's offense. I'm not writing off Jay yet but Bears obviously need to hit on the talent devlopment part. That is somewhere we have sucked and have started to see some offensive talent development and now need to see it on the defensive side. I really like Fuller and our young DT's. They all look like players. I want a QB who can actually throw down-field and be good at it. Smith rarely throws the ball farther than 15 yards (before the catch is made that is).

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 01:15 PM) I like Morse. I just think the Sox are not going to plug up the LF spot with a guy who can't field and hits right-handed. Now if the Sox could satisfy the left-handed need in LF and then bring in Morse to DH I would be more inclined the buy into it. Yeah, I wouldn't want him in the OF either. I like him as a DH candidate.

Please don't tell me Ethier is playing center field.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/10/07/an...ns-for-android/ Google's thinking about implementing multi-window in Android (not the Samsung or LG implementation, which limits what apps you can use). If this is the case, then upping the size of the next Nexus to 5.9 inches makes sense.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 11:39 AM) "if he were left-handed maybe..." His splits were nearly identical last year. He hit for more power off lefties, but had a batting average 50 points higher off righties. That's been the case throughout his entire career. Morse, if healthy, wouldn't be a bad budget add. You can stick him 5th or 6th and expect decent production.

QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 11:14 AM) Morse would be a reclaim special. He had an off year this year. He can play some 1B and DH. Unfortunately, his OF days are behind him. Not really. He hit .279/.336/.475 in a very pitcher-friendly park. I'd be fine with him as a DH.

I'd rather take a shot with someone who wasn't really bad this year.

I lost by less than a point. Had Nick Foles not fumbled when nobody touched him on his awkward head-first slide (who the hell does that?), I would have won. God damn you Nick Foles.

I'm not sure why Bumgarner went to third on the throw, he didn't have a good chance at getting the runner. Way bigger risk than reward there.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 04:13 PM) He was pretty steadily between 92-93 on his fastball, and he went from 93 to just over 90 this year. Any injury talk? I didn't realize there was that kind of drop off. With his weird throwing motion, I wouldn't doubt that he's hurt. He's thrown a lot of innings in the past 5 years.
