    The Brewers get a 1st round comp pick, right?

    I predict his power number will take a significant drop in Sea (I know, he had a great year last year so expect a natural decline, anyway) since it seems like while players can hit for a higher average there, their power numbers take a dive. Especially now that power numbers across the league are diminishing. But at the rate the M's signed him for, it doesn't look like too bad of a deal.

    So, essentially then, Mark A is the biggest problem the Brewers have. He cares more about his own money than he cares about the Brewers winning a World Series Again I say his lifestyle and the lifestyle of his family wouldn't change one iota if he has $50 million or $200 million. I hope he sells the team to someone who cares mostly about Championships The biggest problem the Brewers have is they're the Brewers. No matter how much money an owner has, he's not going to take a loss on this team, or any team. It's just terrible business, and these guys are business savvy.. they have to be, it's how most of them made their wealth. They're not going to suddenly change their strategies just to buy another free agent (that doesn't guarantee them anything). As far as buying championships, I'm sure Redskins fans have loved the way Daniel Snyder has tried to buy championships through numerous Free Agent signings. It's just not as easy as you make it out to be.

    Rich people are rich (except NBA players) because they generally don't get involved in red-cost ventures. That's why teams have budgets. It's really easy for you to sit here as a fan and say "WELL I DONT CARE IF MARK A LOSES MONEY I WANT A CHAMPIONSHIP", but clearly, he is not going to choose to operate that way. He got rich by not operating that way, and there's nothing suggest that he's going to change the way he manages his money. Just so long as we all understand it is a choice he is making. It is not as if he cannot afford to sign more players, he's choosing not to. Personally I care a lot more about the Brewers winning than I do whether Mark A ends up worth $100 million or $1 billion! It's not that simple, though; his budget is set at a certain amount. He's operated his entire life with a budget and not breaking it means that he's been able to live the life he's set out to. People that save a lot of money, make a lot of money, etc, tend (not always, obviously) to have very strict budgets for themselves. For them, "afford" means not breaking their budget, even though they might be able to comfortably afford things out of their budget. They have a status quo, and they don't stray from that. So while you say he has a choice - he does, and maybe he can "afford" to buy better players, but in the realm of his business world, he cannot afford them without risking loss. We don't have to like it, but it makes sense for him.

    Where is Hanley going to play? OF?

    Read Jason Kendall's book Could you elaborate so I don't have to read the book? I've got enough things I'm already assigned to read.

    For what it's worth, RR was asked about this is the post-game press conference and said that he asked Weeks if he wanted to play today and he said he didn't. To be fair, no one really wanted to play in the last month+, but RRR at least had to put a team on the field.

    I can't get excited for the playoffs knowing my favorite team completely blew their chances. Sorry. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8c/Debbie_Downer.PNG

    Logan is going to need another number.

    Love K-Rod celebrating the big save once the team has been eliminated.
  11. yfinn6
    Mark A really sounds upset at the players. He's made emphasis on that.
  12. yfinn6
    Mark A is NOT happy. Blames the players...
  13. yfinn6
    So the Phillies fire their assistant GM; I guess the losing is all his fault and not Ruben Amaro Jr's?

    No more pressure on them = victories.

    PrinceFielderx1 has been awfully quiet. I'd say he must feel pretty stupid, but the majority of his posts were stupid, so he's probably incapable of embarrassment.

    Time to lock this thread?

    Tried getting greedy when Watson's throw was bobbled at 1st, Gomez broke for 3rd but got in a rundown instead and was tagged out. Instead of 2 on, nobody out, there was then 1 on with one out. Just a typical Gomez play.
  19. yfinn6
    I am seriously so done with Gomez. You just cannot make that kind of mistake there. Unbelievable.. well, not really, it IS the Brewers we're talking about. There is no such thing as fundamentals with this team.
  20. yfinn6
    I just turned the Brewer game on, I see the offense is really showing up once again. More of the same, I take it?
  21. yfinn6
    Gomez being Gomez.
  22. yfinn6
    Anyone still feel like cheering up?
  23. yfinn6
    Are you serious? Remember that Reds lineup yesterday vs. the Cubs? No Bruce, Frazier, BP, Morasco et al. They sat all the regulars to rest 'em up for TONIGHT. Look at today's vs the Cardinals CFBilly Hamilton (S) 1BBrayan Pena (S) 3BTodd Frazier ® CDevin Mesoraco ® 2BB. Phillips ® RFJay Bruce (L) LFRyan Ludwick ® SSZack Cozart ® That's the best they could possibly field. That's for the Pirates and Brewers benefit. That's integrity. It would be advantageous for them to lose out for a better draft position, but they're better than that. That anyone can't understand that amazes me. You're too warped into the Cardinals' mindset.. the Reds don't give two craps about winning games at this point, and the whole "we're playing spoilers" is all bullcrap. They've thrown in the towel much like every other team, including the damn Brewers. Teams give up at the end of the year. It is what it is. It does not 'behoove' them to play their best or win every game. Draft slots still matter.
  24. yfinn6
    They need more than that.
  25. yfinn6
    I'm so done with this team.
