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.

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?

Good job by Gavin. I expected much worse.

Holy balls, Flowers got a hit!

Adam's not hitting home runs, striking out, or walking as often. I don't like this.

Tyler Flowers must be ultra pissed right now. That pitch he struck out on wasn't much better than the one Andrus walked on.

At this pace, Feldman's going to throw a complete game shutout. 47 pitches through 4+.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 07:31 PM) Good number to trade him at! This is the first year since 2008 that Gavin's FIP is actually higher than his ERA. How weird.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 07:30 PM) I've missed the first 4 innings. Have the Sox had good at bats so far? They did when they got their 4 hits. Otherwise, not really. Konerko hit one hard to the Right-Center gap, but Gentry ran it down pretty easily (that guy has some incredible range).

Gavin's ERA now down to 4.30.

Gavin will be lucky to get through 5 innings this game.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 07:24 PM) Another umpire who has no clue on the zone. f***ing replace them with robots already. That last pitch was definitely a strike. Andrus also swung on the check-swing. Joe West's crew is absolute s***.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 06:51 PM) Dear Lord, no. Pryzbylla is awful.

Gordon got a hit!

QUOTE (Wedge @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 06:42 PM) Cubs try to offer Soriano to the dodgers to sweeten the pot. Lawl Unless they pick up at least half the money, that's lawl-worthy.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 06:21 PM) Jon Morosi @jonmorosi Brandon League warming up, per @shannondrayer. That would suggest no trade imminent. 5:18pm - 29 Jul 12 Shannon is a beat writer for SEA. Maybe if this doesn't happen soon, Seattle is waiting to see how Gavin does tonight before they pull the trigger on the blockbuster that brings Felix and League!! The more it drags on the better maybe. And clearly this is wishful thinking but who the heck knows. Seattle doesn't want Gavin Floyd.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 29, 2012 -> 04:23 PM) Who would you guys say is the most credible reporter out there regarding trade rumors? Nightengale?...Buster?...Rosenthal? Heyman, Rosenthal, and Olney are all good IMO.
