Paulie picks Youk and Dunn up! 1-0.

De Aza really needed a few days off. Looking good so far.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 06:20 PM) lol. Oh my goodness. What are you talking about? He can dunk? Wow. So can Carlos Boozer. Luc Longley could come out of retirement and you'll try to turn it into a potential positive. Butler did a decent job on Melo in one of the Bulls' early games against the Knicks. Thibs actually played him down the stretch against Anthony.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 04:32 PM) The Bulls have apparently signed Nate Robinson. Wow, seriously? We have our starting PG then! Honestly though, I think Robinson's an upgrade over Watson. C.J. shot like s*** in his first year. He started out last year shooting well, then fell off a cliff when he got extended playing time.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 04:46 PM) I wish I could figure out how to do this. Mine was going to be: Its a deal: Sox get Bryce, Nats get Jake* *from State Farm What are you wearing, Jake from State Farm?

How old is that pic? The phone Kenny's holding is old as hell.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 03:43 PM) DeAZA CF Youkilis 3B Dunn DH Konerko 1B Rios RF Pierzynski C Viciedo LF Ramirez SS Beckham 2B Quintana P BOOM! Oh yeah!

Funny how he did not note contributions from Reed, Jones, and Quintana, who have combined for nearly 3 WAR.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 03:29 PM) So you are saying you like a slow, stuttering, unoptimized UI experience over a smooth one? That makes almost no sense to me. I can pick up any Android phone and notice it...where as you cannot notice it on iOS or WM7/8. Android wasn't optimized, and it was compiled improperly which didn't help, something Google is now going out of their way to fix because even they know it wasn't a very smooth experience. I don't think you read what I wrote correctly. Android 4.0, whenever I used it on a phone that wasn't two years old, never had a slow UI. This was on the Nexus S (nearly 2 years old) and Galaxy Nexus. The reason you saw a bunch of hiccups was because people decided to overload their phones with crappy launchers that bloated memory as well as widgets that also bloated memory. Yes, part of it is Android's fault for not being optimized for a touch screen, but part of it also had to do with poor development and people not knowing how to use their phones properly. Of course, memory management for the iOS Springboard is never really an issue. After all, how the hell do you screw up a 5x4 grid? Once you start loading your jailbroken iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with real-time widgets that Android has, the same issues will end up persisting. I know because that's happened to me before. Please stop acting like I'm somehow lying to you about my experiences on Android to sugar coat them. What's the point of that for me? Just curious though, how was Android not compiled properly...?

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 03:25 PM) He could be claimed in August, not sure if the 10/5 rights apply to waiver claims. Then the Cubs would at least save some cash. Or they could work out a deal with him where they offer to qualifying offer and he rejects it so they could get a pick out of him. It's the least he could do since he's f***ing them over at the deadline They'll get way more for him if they offer him arbitration and let him walk. They'll get a decent compensation pick for him.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 03:00 PM) Just like your phone ran perfectly smoothly, too...before project butter and without Cyanogen. One handed texting isn't easy on an iPhone, which is far better designed for it than a Nexus...yet for some reason, it's easy for you on a 4.65" screen. Nobody is saying you "can't" use these huge devices with one hand...they're saying you can't do so easily...and you can't. I can type with one hand on a qwerty keyboard, too. But it wasn't designed for that, either. I never noticed any true lag on higher-end Android phones that aren't bogged down by horrible UIs (like Sense or Touchwiz). 4.1 is smoother than previous iterations, but I honestly don't care for it (the smoothness) nor do I notice it enough to care for it. Just like how I didn't care for the smooth UI on the iPhone 4 when I used it for a week a month back. The Galaxy Nexus also isn't a huge device. It's big next to an iPhone (what isn't?), but the device itself feels moderate for something with a 4.65 inch screen. My fully extended thumb can also reach from one end of the device to another and then a whole finger nail's length when I hold it. Maybe I have a long thumb, but I honestly can't see how typing on this with one hand would be hard. There have been times where my thumb wouldn't be able to reach something all the way on the top right corner, but it's not often that I have to do something like that.

I'm not feeling too great about our prospects in this series after seeing the Twins beat the crap out of the Indians. That offense is hitting very well right now.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:27 PM) Good thing I forced you to read/reply to it.... Oh wait...... I didn't...... You should post these in the fantasy section. Nobody actually reads those forums.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:15 PM) there is something disturbing about a bunch of dudes describing the 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 inchers in their pockets.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 08:57 AM) Apples design philosophy on phones is one handed operation, not necessarily that people prefer small screens. There does come a point where a phone is too big for 1 handed operation regardless of what Fandroid users claim. They are merely the mirror equilivant of Apple fanboys that claim Apple has no room for improvement because they're perfect, when they're obviously not. For example, how long have we heard from Android users how smooth their phone experience was...when it really wasnt? To the tune of Google actually launching and highlighting "project butter" in their latest version? If it was already smooth and buttery...such an initiative wouldnt have been necessary, and surely not necessary to highlight as a big deal. It's because it wasn't smooth, and Google knew it regardless of Fandroid claims. And I'm not talking about the tinkerers that run Cyanogen, because that actually WAS fast/smooth as it should have been. I've long held the opinion that the iPhone should've been bumped up to the 4-4.2" range...but not bigger. I actually don't want to have to adjust my hand position in order to reach certain areas of the screen because it's so large. Some people have seriously small hands... My hands aren't big (I'd call them average), but I can text on my Galaxy Nexus just fine with one hand. In fact, I did it yesterday while riding on my bike.

I would love Masterson on the Sox.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 10:06 AM) Buster Olney ‏@Buster_ESPN Since back in June, Reds have quietly evaluated Juan Pierre as possible target. Won't cost much, great clubhouse guy, good # against RHP. lol Dusty will get his man again.

Son of a b****. Good defense screwed us out of a tie game.

Nice job by Santiago to hold them.

Looks like we may need more than 3 runs to win this one.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 08:33 PM) Cleveland has sure feel off a cliff. They came off a great series vs. Detroit. Then their pitching started sucking, badly.

PK needs to get on base. Then Rios can do what he did to Nathan in the second game of the year.

We've definitely been Feldman'd.

Dunn used to play QB in college, yet he absolutely spiked that ball he threw home into the ground. Funny how that works out huh?
