Sox win! Another series win! 5 in a row! I thought we had no chance in hell to win this one. Hell of an effort!

Matt Thornton is just bad right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 09:44 PM) He can't throw the high fastball past hitters anymore like he used to. I don't think people realize just how old Thornton is. He was dominant when he was in his mid-30s. Who thought two years later and he'd start sucking like this?

Not this crap again.

I never thought Matt Thornton would age this quickly. His peripherals are way down from last year.

Oh balls. It's Thornton.

Nice inning for Myers. I'd like to not use Reed tonight. Myers had a super low pitch count. Let him go out there for another inning.

Nice range D2!

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 08:36 PM) I enjoy watching Rios bat this season. That stance is such an improvement and he hits the ball hard. His feet are much closer to each other now. Small adjustment, big results.

Nice outing for Humber so far. Have that bullpen up Robin, just in case.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 04:32 PM) Screen size has nothing to do with playing catchup. Resolution or pixel density might, but not size, that's merely a preference. Some people do not want those monster screens in small portables. I think 4" is a sweet spot, 4.2" is pushing the "jump the shark" area, and anything bigger actually did jump it, that's a tablet, not a pocket portable at that point, only a gimped tablet. Apple once thought that everybody preferred small screens. They were clearly wrong.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 04:42 PM) For a music player? I don't really care as much about the screen size. The majority of the time it'll be plugged into a speaker or in my pocket or strapped to my arm. It needs to have menus that allow me to navigate through hundreds or artists or albums quickly, and it needs to be able to take a beating. This isn't a phone. iPod touchs are horrible at taking beatings. Mine is scratched to hell (especially the back). When I got my iPod touch, I didn't use it just as music player. Music players these days (outside of the classic iPod and iPod Mini) are meant to do a lot more. They're basically smartphones without the phone functionality.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 01:13 PM) Women's handball is kinda awesome I watched the first 5 minutes of U.S. vs. Croatia for women's basketball. It was god awful. I've seen better play at middle school games (slight exaggeration, but you get the point).

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 12:43 PM) The Nationals should trade for Joe Mauer. Nice photoshop job on Mauer.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 04:12 PM) It makes me wonder if the Tigers are in more need of a starter than the Sox. When was the last time you saw a contender go get two starting pitchers at the trade deadline?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 01:20 PM) Or you could just admit that iPods are by far the best device on the market I'm never going back to 3.5 inch screens. Apple even thinks they're outdated, after all, the iPhone 5 is going to have a 4.08 inch screen. Playing catchup.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 11:38 AM) Because our minor league system blows. It blows a lot worse than before because most of our minor leaguers are now major leaguers.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 11:30 AM) After. Swisher was the consolation prize. The Marlins got absolutely nothing out of that trade. Maybin is the only real Major Leaguer today in that package. Gio and Sweeney are actually productive Major Leaguers.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:59 AM) dont forget robins gifts too lol Gordon's acting as Jake Peavy was pretty good. Jerry's Dos Equis commercial was also pretty good.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 11:27 AM) Cabrera, Miguel. I don't remember, but did we get Swisher before or after that Miggy trade?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 11:26 AM) Unless the M's don't want to receive too much fan backlash trading him in division and seeing him for so many series per year. I dunno. Their last trade with Texas didn't really work out.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 11:20 AM) As long as Texas is still looking for a starter, I think the best the Sox can do is place in the King Felix sweepstakes. I'm actually willing to part with whatever for Felix. Quintana, Reed, Jones, Viciedo...take whatever you want Jack Z.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 11:18 AM) Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal Sources say #WhiteSox’s Williams worked his tail off to get Greinke from #Brewers, trying to involve a third team. Just couldn’t find match. For the first time ever, our lack of prospects truly plagues Kenny Williams.

Oh god...women's basketball.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 10:53 AM) Yikes. Nice body. But she looks like she's 45. This.
