Well that sucked.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 15, 2012 -> 02:57 PM) What do you mean, "subsidized phone"? Because a couple months ago I took my brother old HTC Aria phone and put my sim card in it, and was immediately billed for a data plan. AT&T said as soon as the sim card is put in a new phone, the information is sent to AT&T and if it's a phone that requires a plan, then a plan is automatically added to the account. I had even turned off internet on the phone as soon as I turned it on so that way no data would be used, and I also didn't sign in to any Google account, and they still billed me. That is total crap. T-Mobile's never done that to me. You simply disable the APN settings. If the phone can't get on a data network, then they can't charge you for anything. Doing so otherwise is horrible practice. Phones cost around 500-600 factory unlocked. That's just how it goes since wireless providers need to give customers an incentive to sign a horrible 2 year contract with them. So to make everything look more appeasing, they "subsidize" the phone's cost to a 100-200 dollar range so people can afford the phone and their outrageous rates.

A.J. is alive again!

6 pitch inning, lol.

8 pitch inning...sigh.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 15, 2012 -> 02:41 PM) That may have been the saddest walk I have ever seen back to the dugout. Feeling bad for Morel. We need another 3B fast. Put Brent out of his misery and send him down for a AAA visit. Now that I think about it, maybe we should have kept Dayan at 3B.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 15, 2012 -> 02:41 PM) At least Crain is back We need to go up by like 5-6 for me to feel safe with this bullpen. Nobody is trustworthy unless his name is Reed.

Peavy looks like he's on-par for a 6 inning start.

Jake got one fat man, but not the other.

Scherzer will be lucky if he goes 5 today.

QUOTE (Jake @ May 15, 2012 -> 02:23 PM) That fastball was center cut, can't believe he made such poor contact Alexei still thinks it's April.

Paulie knows how to work a count.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 15, 2012 -> 06:57 AM) Ramos torn ACL aside, that's one of the worst trades ever. Matt Capps was always one of the worst closers in baseball, why you would want to add him to your bullpen for a top prospect is mind-blowing. The worst trade they made was Hardy for Hoey and some other no-name bullpen guy. Then you have Garza and Bartlett for Delmon Young. Then that Ramos for Capps deal.

Adam Dunn is a new man.

Austin Jackson and Andy Dirks are hitting out of their minds.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 15, 2012 -> 02:05 PM) I personally use more than 200mb, and that's while spending 99% of my time on WiFi. I easily use a few hundred megs a day on WiFi alone, and on cellular I use another 600-800 per month. I really never download anything on 3G unless I have to. I would like to have more (I'd say 300-400 is a good number), but I don't see a real need for it. I hear Straight Talk is giving 2 GB a month with unlimited minutes for $45 a month (no contract and I think I get to keep my phone number), I might go there after I milk some money out of my phone upgrades. Hehehe.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ May 15, 2012 -> 01:51 PM) You are only required to get a data plan if you get a subsidized phone...otherwise you don't have to tell them what kind of phone it is...just stick your already activated sim in it. Yup, don't let the wireless companies tell you what you have to get. I have 200 MB and it's more than enough. If you don't have a data plan at all, don't worry. You can have the phone never jump on a data network by giving it an incorrect or no APN settings.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 15, 2012 -> 01:59 PM) Nope. it's A-D-A! A-D-A! That makes slightly more sense.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 15, 2012 -> 01:58 PM) da....DA ...am I doing it right? Who made that up? It make absolutely no sense. Way worse than Hot Fire...or Cold Ice.

Patience A.J., patience

Anybody want to do play by play? None of the live scoreboards update at work for some weird reason.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 9, 2012 -> 06:05 PM) I would f***ing love an Android phone, but I'm not allowed to get one. $440 gets you a Galaxy Nexus, unlocked (from Google too). If you have the money, you ARE allowed to get one (assuming you have a GSM carrier).

QUOTE (Jake @ May 15, 2012 -> 11:28 AM) http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playe...ieldingadvanced You'd think if De Aza was THAT bad, his UZR would be suffering from those misplays. De Aza's not bad at all. He has his misplays (like last night), but he has very good range for a CFer. Putting him in a corner would be a waste of his speed.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 15, 2012 -> 09:47 AM) His stats show regression despite playing with the best distributor in the NBA. His game says he really can't score with anyone between him and the basket, and his shooting is horrendous. Blake Griffin is not even close to an NBA superstar. I don't see any real regression at all, in fact, his offensive game actually improved from an efficiency standpoint. He shot better this year (5% better in fact) and was more efficient on the offensive end. All of this makes sense since he had Chris Paul. Unless you were expecting him to be a top 5 MVP contender, I don't see how he regressed this year at all.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ May 15, 2012 -> 10:04 AM) Maybe home opener. Yeah, that's what I meant.
