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.

Hey Jay Gruden, stop running Morris off-tackle. He's not fast enough for this Seattle defense.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 05:13 PM) It's not like I'm looking that hard for reasons to criticize him... he makes the case for me. You literally said you thought it was a good thing a call didn't go the Bears way. Think about that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 04:56 PM) 2 hitters. Someone to cover DH and someone to cover a corner OF slot. And even then, that leaves a whole lot of risky holes. If we assume Flowers starts next year, we need a corner OFer and a DH. Maybe a 3B. Here's some guys we can look at through free agency: DH/1B/3B Billy Butler (he has a team option at 12.5 MM) Mike Morse Adam Lind (team option) Adam LaRoche (mutual option) Hanley Ramirez Pablo Sandoval Chase Headley Nelson Cruz Victor Martinez OF Nelson Cruz Melky Cabrera Josh Willingham Colby Rasmus Michael Cuddyer Alex Rios Torii Hunter Nothing really sticks out at me as someone we must go after. I really don't want to spend the money on V-Mart, but he's clearly the best hitter in here. Cruz's year was very up and down and I feel like he's truly a .350 wOBA hitter. While good, it ain't that much better than Adam Dunn and you don't want to play him in the OF. He's going to get overpaid just like Martinez. I'm not sure how much money Hanley will get, but he wouldn't be a bad short-term signing for around $15 million a year. It'd be a gamble, but I'd rather give him that money than Martinez. I like the idea of Adam Lind since he's left-handed and should be pretty cheap, but I think Toronto will bring him back at $7.5 million. Sandoval is a decent option and he should be a decent hitter moving from SF to the Cell. He also plays 3B. I doubt SF will let him walk though. I feel like there's no sure bets in FA this year in terms of hitters, so we're gonna have to trade for someone.

We need a good middle of the order hitter, 2 good relievers, and a good right handed starter if we want to contend.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 03:26 PM) It just doesn't feel like an iPhone. It feels cheap. You might have been expecting too much.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 03:17 PM) The Falcons are an odd example considering they're 2-3. The Falcons don't play defense and their offense is nothing special outside of the Georgia Dome. If the game next week was in Chicago, I'd give a big edge to the Bears. But since it's in Atlanta, I actually don't like our chances.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 03:11 PM) I think these iphones are the least comfortable in the hand. I don't know if it is the aluminum backing or what, but they don't feel right. I think it's the fact that the corners are rounded. I held one and I thought it felt decent in the hand though.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 02:15 PM) I am pretty leery of Masterson after this past year. His stuff really dropped off Yeah. Masterson's usually had alternating good years throughout his career though. But the drop in velocity is very discouraging.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 01:41 PM) Because I'll only have to pay $46 for the Note 3 when I get my buyback credit. I think the Note 4 is like $300 on-contract. You'd be paying $50 for a newer device. That's worth it IMO.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 12:50 PM) LOL. I'm sorry, this is just laughable. I'm glad the refs didn't call it. You don't reward stupidity. That throw was a terrible decision, and completely unnecessary at that stage in the game. Even more laughable. At this point, you're just hating on Jay Cutler for the sake of doing it. There's people who defend Cutler to no end and then there's people like you who find every reason to bag on him.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 01:22 PM) It actually hasn't happened. Aaron Rodgers has never lost at home to the Bears. I'm not counting last year where he only played one series. He technically did play in that game he got hurt in last year.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 12:27 PM) Switching from an iPhone 4S to a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, any advice? The Sprint Buyback program is giving me $204 for my iPhone 4S FYI. Why not wait for the Note 4?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 10:53 AM) Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN 5h5 hours ago Chris Davis still has five more games to serve in his suspension, so an ALCS appearance could be unlikely. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles...0,5358121.story … I don't think they really need him. Steve Pearce is so much better.

QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 06:45 AM) Seems like a match up in MVP Baseball or something. Game 1 not until Friday. Time TBA That means the Royals get to pitch Shields in game 1. I'm guessing it'll be Shields vs. Tillman, Vargas vs. Chen, Duffy vs. Norris, Ventura vs. Gonzalez I always thought the O's don't have enough pitching to win a 7 game series. We'll see though.

For the second week in a row, the result of my game comes down to Monday Night Football. I have Morris and Hauschka. My opponent has Harvin and Lynch. I'm up 10.5.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 10:33 AM) They barely took a shot in the 2nd half. It was conservative. I thought Holmes was held on the 2nd pick of the game, first pick was just awful and the 2nd pick was still a ball that Jay sailed. Like I said in the preseason, I thought the team lacked discipline and they continue to play with a lack of discipline. Lots of foolish mistakes in the 2nd half (not to mention 1st half with Bennett's drop on that 3rd down that seemed to be the start of the meltdown and of course the punt TD). Just pathetic. I thought he got held when I saw it live, but it looked like he kind of got tangled with the LB on the replay. I thought it was a good no-call. The first interception though...that was blatant pass interference.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 10:45 AM) Didn't Marshall have his hands on the first int? And he would have caught it if there wasn't pass interference. The idea of throwing into triple coverage isn't smart, but that INT also shouldn't have happened because there should have been a penalty. For an officiating crew that gave out 25 penalties a game coming into the game, they sure decided to swallow their whistles for something so obvious.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 09:48 AM) Don't lynch me guys but the pitching,speed, and clutch factor kinda give KC a 05 Sox look and feel. Except the Royals don't hit a lot of home runs (post-season withstanding). They've needed production like this from Hosmer and Moustakas all year and they never really got it. Now they have it and their offense is actually decent. This is another example of a team getting hot at the right time.
