QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 05:44 PM) Michael Sweetney was a pretty efficient scorer down low too. Yeah, for one season. http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/sweetmi01.html Hibbert is a good center. He's not all that efficient, though (.539 TS% in his best year). I wouldn't put him in the same tier as Horford, Noah, or Monroe. Those guys are far more efficient.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 12:41 PM) It said he was a player selection. The guys in the AL must like this dude, or want to see him drop bombs in the HR Derby. I don't know if I want Dunn participating in the HR derby. It'll make that event a hell of a lot more enjoyable, but at what risk?

I'm surprised Dunn made it since he's hitting .215.

All pitchers? Hmmm... Honestly though, why was Peavy not on the team to begin with? He's top 5 in WHIP and ERA I believe (if not top 6). I don't think I'll vote, I'd rather let Jake rest the entire time.

LMAO David Wright isn't starting for the NL at 3B? Is this some sort of a sick joke?

He'll be on the final vote ballot again and he'll probably win. He's been the second best C in the AL this year (next to Mauer), but he's definitely been the best power hitting catcher in baseball.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 12:30 PM) It looks like he's at the beginning of his annual 6 week role. Its a good time to pick him up. Don't forget to dump him when the time is right. I should have learned that the first time around. I caught like maybe 3 good starts, then he started giving me a ton of negative value starts...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 12:12 PM) OPS by first baseman in the AL: 1. Paul Konerko .969 2. Prince Fielder .856 3. Chris Davis .802 4. Albert Pujols .789 5. Mark Teixeira .772. Really, I don't even need to bother with other stats. My word he's blowing the rest of the league out of the water. I still can't believe people voted so much for Fatass Fielder.

Gavin Floyd is now on one of my fantasy teams. I hope that doesn't screw anything up.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 11:21 AM) If Asik leaves for nothing I'm gonna be PISSED. We could have traded him last year for O.J. Mayo or Courtney Lee. O.J. Mayo is a a URFA now. I wonder how much money he'll sign for.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 11:31 AM) That's awesome. And expected.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 07:23 AM) better than our starting PF.... I wish we can combine him and Boozer.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 11:30 PM) Went and saw Ted tonight and enjoyed it. It's basically Family Guy if it was on HBO with a talking teddy bear. Just went to see it, it is exactly what fathom said.

I would have felt bad for Jake today had he not given up 3 bombs... and those 2 extra base hits to Dwayne Wise... 11 Ks are nice, but it doesn't really matter when you give up 3 home runs.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 05:07 PM) Thome traded to Orioles Looks like the unloading has begun in Philadelphia.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 03:54 PM) And if we keep Asik but let Gibson go, that would be a big mistake. I hope we trade Asik after this year and extend Taj If Omer is going to get a big offer sheet, I don't see why the Bulls should match. They can live without him.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 05:19 PM) I will lose so much respect for Hill and Allen if they ring chase in Miami. Why does Allen need another ring again?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 30, 2012 -> 09:49 AM) Everything I've read suggests the bulls fully intend to extend Gibson? This is a good thing. Taj is a very good player.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 06:19 PM) A little while ago, Apple was granted a preliminary injunction on sales of the Galaxy Nexus in the United States. As soon as Apple posts a 93 million dollar bond, sales of the Galaxy Nexus will be banned in the United States, due to patent infringement on design. Meanwhile, the same judge cleared Apple of infringement against Samsung. In the past two day, Apple has been granted US sales bans on the Galaxy Tab 2 and now the Galaxy Nexus. While preliminary...these are MAJOR blows to Samsung. The issue with most of Samsung's counter claims against Apple is they are all based on FRAND licensed patents, which are very hard to argue in court due to their standards essential nature. Articles: http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/12/06...mmer_trial.html http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/12/06...smartphone.html I just returned my GN (faulty radio on an international version) and ordered one from the Play Store today. I don't have time to read those articles right now, but I'll be really pissed if I don't get my device on-time.

3.5 up on the Indians and more importantly, 5 up on Detroit. This has turned out to be a very good roadtrip so far. Split the next two and I'll be satisfied. A sweep would be amazing.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 09:35 PM) How did Septimo look? Pretty good, but I honestly think hitters don't really try in blowouts.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 07:53 PM) Not really. No. I actually say that in jest...as I know you are a Nexus user. It's not the 300,000 people using Nexus phones that they need to worry about...it's the 350 million people NOT using their Nexus phone...some of which are still using Android v2.3...or even 1.2. I really wish Google would crack down on these carriers...it's self inflicted fragmentation. Now, to be honest, there is nothing they or anyone else can do about some degree of fragmentation...some users will refuse to upgrade, or simply do not care...but they are the ones you dont have to worry about as a business. But I do think there is a lot they can do about cracking down on more timely non-hacked upgrades to support their users. I don't think anyone does search, e-mail or web browsing better than Google. That said, I don't think anyone does phones or tablets better than Apple. I'm also happy Microsoft is throwing their hat into these arenas. Competition rules. For us. I have to say, on a personal note...I see wayyyyy too much modern "brand alignment"/fanboism these days...and it bothers me. It's ok to like Google products, or Apple products...but it's insane to NOT think someone else has stuff that's better than what you use. I'd easily love to pick and choose what features I want from say, a Nexus and an iPhone, and combine them onto one awesome device. But this brand loyalty insanity as of late really bothers me, and it reeks of technological ignorance. Also of note that goes with what I just said in my previous paragraph, Android 4.1 no longer supports Flash...but I'm sure Android users will suddenly be ok with this despite it being a talking point of theirs for years now. Considering the OS isn't even officially out yet, that was fast. My comment was more or less towards how fast the Android community is at getting stuff done. Google did mention they were going to give OEM manufacturers a development kit for every major release a few months ahead of time, but I don't think that's going to solve things. The difference of Google ditching flash (or it could be said that Adobe ditched mobile) now and Apple ditching flash four years ago is huge. Flash dominated the web 4 years ago, but HTML5 sites are more and more prevalent. I would not have been able to watch video highlights on mlb.com with my iPod 4 years ago, but I can do it now without issue on Chrome for Android since mlb.com now supports HTML5.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 09:30 PM) An inefficient point guard? Bleh... lol a PG with a .551 TS% (last year that is) is inefficient? Just so you know, that was Derrick Rose's TS% his MVP year...

If Teague can be anything like his brother, I'll be more than content.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 08:12 PM) Jeremy, the good Lamb, not Doron. Oh s***, I saw wrong. NVM.
