Welker to the Broncos with Thomas and Decker? Holy s***. 1. That is an awesome receiving corps. 2. That is the whitest receiving corps I've ever seen with Welker, Stokley, and Decker (you can throw in Dressen and Tamme too). They should go get Brian Hartline and Kevin Walter too.

The S4 is being announced tomorrow. Unfortunately, from the leaks so far, the device looks awfully similar to the S3... I guess Samsung is going with the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" strategy now. My hope is that Samsung doesn't start becoming the Apple of the Android world, where they get extremely complacent and release incremental hardware updates. With how fast the Android market evolves, they'll eventually get overtaken with that kind of strategy.

QUOTE (CarlosMartinez @ Mar 13, 2013 -> 12:18 PM) They've made some nice additions from last years game. Something about 12 just felt boring and didn't keep me playing but so far 13 has taken me away from NBA 2k and NHL 13. Pitcher repertoires are much more accurate, 4 seam fastball isn't everyones #1 pitch. The new post season mode is extremely addictive while waiting for the full rosters to come out. The change in atmosphere is very noticable compared to a regular season or exhibition game. The hit variety is pretty impressive from bloopers falling just beyond the infield but before the outfielders, to line shots down the line bouncing around in the corner. Even routine infield ground outs seem to vary each time. I've yet to see a ball hit that didn't match up with where the pitch was at on my hitter. I've had jam shots pulled just over the left side of the infield and also balls hit off the end of the bat falling down the line for bloop singles. There's nice little additions in every MLB The Show game, which is why I get it every year. The game itself is great already, but the little additions just keep making it better.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 12, 2013 -> 09:55 AM) Eh, MLB the Show has dedicated followers on OS Sports that crank out amazing rosters for previous versions. 2013 full minors rosters for MLB 12 the Show will be ready Opening Day Really, with the Marlins new park in last year's game, there's no reason to upgrade vs downloading those rosters above. It's just up to the user to not be stupid. I don't know if you actually read that thread or not, but I don't see anything about OSFM 13 being for MLB 12. It's usually only for that year's game unless somebody decides to port it to MLB 12 (or edit whatever last year's OSFM was).

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 12, 2013 -> 04:37 PM) @nfldraftscout Per team, #Colts have signed LB Erik Walden, formally of #Packers. Thank god. Walden gave Cutler and the Bears o-line a real hard time.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Mar 12, 2013 -> 03:23 PM) Going from the 5th worst rated TE (out of 62) to the 5th highest rated in Bennett. He isn't spectacular at anything, but he scored above average in everything (receiving, run block, pass block, etc) Good red zone weapon too. He's now the second best receiver on the team.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Mar 12, 2013 -> 11:43 AM) Boras would be fine. Hed get the best deals first. He just uses the baseball system to his advantage. If if he was NFL, hed use their system to panic teams into offering money quick. Its the same game. Speaking of Boras, is Kyle Lohse even going to pitch this year?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 12, 2013 -> 03:02 PM) @nfldraftscout Can confirm: Chicago #Bears will be signing TE Martellus Bennett tonight. Oh hey, a TE that doesn't completely suck.

USA not moving on to the second round would have been an embarrassment.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Mar 8, 2013 -> 09:07 PM) You must be one of great patience to be silence among this cesspool of baseball stupidity. When did this Ramirez stuff get started? I'm going to assume it's because he didn't belt 72 HRs. It's the epitome of b****ing just to b****.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Mar 8, 2013 -> 08:41 PM) Why pay Ramirez $26M over the next 3 years when they aren't going to the postseason? Why pay anyone $26M over the next 3 years when they aren't going to the postseason? See, with that kind of pessimistic attitude, you might as well just end life as we know it right now.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Mar 8, 2013 -> 07:20 PM) I can read fangraphs too. Thanks though. No, see what it is as in how many WAR he had in 2012. I'm not saying you don't know what it is.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Mar 8, 2013 -> 09:19 AM) I don't care about his WAR. Put Sanchez at SS, and you would get a similar defense-enhanced WAR. Big deal. You should at least see what it is before you call his contract the worst on the team.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Mar 8, 2013 -> 05:04 PM) His minor league track record. Right, because a decent minor league track record is somehow more important than a decent major league track record (like Alexei's). We're talking about guys who play in Major League Baseball here right?

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Mar 7, 2013 -> 07:33 PM) Gillispie >>>>>>> than Alexi offensively. Gillaspie's had a total of 48 ML PAs and he's been awful in them. What makes you think he'll be better than Alexei?

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Mar 7, 2013 -> 07:34 PM) Absolutely, he has turned into a terrible offensive player, and he is entering the decline phase of his career. He is easily the worst contract on the team. Alexei Ramirez is a worse contract than Adam Dunn? Even in the worst season of his career last year, Alexei had a higher WAR than Adam Dunn. Alexei had nearly a 5 win season in 2011. He doesn't need to be a great hitter to be valuable, because he plays the second most demanding position on the field and plays it really well. He sucked ass last year at the plate, but that's not a guarantee to happen again. Almost all projection systems have him putting up .270/.310/.380, which is perfectly acceptable from a very good fielding SS.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Mar 7, 2013 -> 02:42 PM) This. Sale's good years, if he's healthy, are $20M pitcher years. 1 of those makes this contract a steal, 2 and it's a mugging, 3 it's... well, you get the idea. He gave the Sox a $20 million season last year. Even if he does get hurt, if he gives you 2 more of those seasons in the first 5 years, he's already giving you your bang for your buck.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 7, 2013 -> 01:33 PM) If it's just locking up his arb years, and maybe a year of free agency, then it doesn't sound like it would be bad deal right now. It's not like this will be a 7-8 year deal. Lol it is a 7 year deal. Very very nice deal. If the Sox think Sale will hold up (this is the best medical staff in baseball we're talking about here), then I have some faith that Sale won't be Tommy John material.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Mar 7, 2013 -> 10:13 AM) Obviously he's not at 110%. He clearly never will be. Otherwise, he'd be 10% more of what he was at full strength.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Mar 6, 2013 -> 11:44 AM) I heard somewhere that they were trying to get 4 or 5 years for $30m. That's a bargain for Sale, even if he isn't completely healthy.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 11:17 PM) That would be huge. I'd be sad for Grandy, I like him. Granderson is a real good guy from what I've heard.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 01:28 PM) lol David Lee. I wonder what Boozer's looks like.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 02:33 PM) I just picked up The Show for Vita, Ill report back after I get some time to play it. Im trying to get Tomb Raider from gamefly. It sounds like Far Cry 3 but with a female lead and I was a big fan of FC3. The frame rates this year are definitely better. But the baseball still looks like a softball in the fielding cameras.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 02:12 PM) My Samsung laptop won't recognize my iPhone anymore. Won't charge it, sync, nothing. Doesn't even show up as a removable device. Tried re-installing iTunes, restarting the computer, the phone, etc. Nothing works. I plugged it into an old desktop to see if it was the phone or cable and it worked fine. Any advice? Samsung deployed some malware on the laptop to have it purposefully malfunction when an Apple product is plugged in.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Mar 5, 2013 -> 01:22 PM) Google has updated Google Chrome (V25) and Google Maps (V1.1) for iOS. Jailbreaks, be warned, the new version of Chrome has a bug in it that for some reason it REQUIRES you to have anonymous usage data turned on, or it will crash after loading it. If you have this happening to you, uninstall, reinstall and enable anonymous usage data, and it will begin working. Google is aware of the bug and said it will be fixed in the next version of Chrome they release on iOS...but when that will be, who knows. This happened to me. I had Chrome Download Manager installed and it kept crashing even after I reinstalled. After disabling it, everything works again.
