QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 09:18 PM) The hardest hit ball in that AB was the one off the knob of the bat. Johnson's not easy to hit against.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 09:17 PM) The only thing that Ventura could have been thinking is that he was more worried about Machado on deck than McLouth. However, thanks to shack's alarming stat, it seems like he was caught sleeping. If what you said is the case, that stupid walk to Reynolds may have lost us this game. The pitch he walked on was a strike to Alexei the inning before too.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 09:06 PM) I hate you for posting that. That could go down as Ventura's worst move of the year. This organization's lack of care for splits and stats is so damning.

Baltimore is just one of those teams we have issues beating.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 09:01 PM) That PK at bat last inning was a killer Could have blown the game wide open. It totally screwed our rally instead. Oh well.

QUOTE (Butter Parque @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 09:00 PM) If Thornton came in, you'd all b**** and complain about that Not if he's facing a lefty. Myers had also thrown to 5 batters. I was surprised he was kept in.

I can't believe how we'e letting waiver wire pickups kick our ass today. Ford and McLouth have contributed to for all of their runs.

lol this would be considered a game finished for Myers too.

I was going to post how it was interesting Thornton wasn't brought in. Well...yeah.

Wow...

That's been a strike all game for the O's.

Go f*** yourself Lew Ford.

Leave Myers in for Ford.

We need at least one more run with Thornton and Reed.

I hate how slow this ump's strike call is. He's taking his sweet ass time on every pitch. His strike zone also sucks.

f***in' A Paulie.

Way to go Adam!

Stupid channel just froze here in Champaign. Ugh.

What's with Sox players shaking hands at the plate after a home run?

Dweezy.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 10:53 PM) They will, just to prolong it. More often than not, appealing these decisions results in even higher damages...I think this was a terrible decision by Samsung from the get go. They should have just settled with Apple and/or did a cross licensing agreement and paid a small royalty if it came to that. I know this was discussed between Apple and Samsung for years before any of the lawsuits occurred. Apple buys over 3 billion dollars worth of Samsung components every quarter (yes, BILLION)...that's around 12 billion a year in revenue from ONE customer. Since this mess started, Apple...their BIGGEST customer has been looking elsewhere for components. A win or a loss results in a loss for Samsung in this case...which is why I say it was an ill advised choice from the start. They'd have been better off paying Apple a minor royalty instead of not only potentially losing the case (which ended up happening), but losing Apples business. Samsung will be lucky if Apple is still a customer of theirs at all in a year or two, considering how much business they've been giving to LG, Sharp, and other Samsung competitors in place of buying from Samsung in the past year. Even if Samsung somehow wins the appeal, which they probably won't, they're looking at losing upwards of 14 billion dollars worth of revenue a year. This was simply stupid. Apple was asking for $30-$40 per device for those royalties back in 2010. Samsung might have paid more in this had they agreed to those royalties. Samsung is also one of the leading manufacturers in components. Unless Apple wants to go to Intel (not possible at the moment), they won't find a better partner.
