    1.29.10 article on the controversy surrounding the selection of Coulibaly to ref the African Cup of Nations final

    Me too. I think GAME is onto something -- the Conan fans would never really watch Jay to begin with, and then the way NBC botched the whole thing must've turned plenty of others off, too. Flood Pants could well be right, too.

    His big league stats this year are Dave Bush-esque -- and it's mid-June. And he's a rookie, and he pitches in the AL East. And his stuff blows Bush's out of the water. TheCrew07 did a pretty nice job breaking down Davis's performance so far, and even though you cite mid-June as an acceptable sample size, the reality is he's only made 13 starts this season, and 19 in his MLB career. He was Baseball America's #17 overall prospect heading into '08, & #32 heading into '09. This is precisely the kind of pitcher Melvin should be looking to get for Fielder. Since when is it atypical for guys drafted out of H.S. to play 6 MiLB seasons? 1. I didn't mean to suggest (post #132 in this thread) that the Brewers would get Price for Prince. I'm saying if I'm the GM, I start there knowing I'd likely end up with someone still very good but just not named David Price. You actually said, "You trade a Prince Fielder, you start at Price or Niemann PLUS as the return". I see that you meant in terms of negotiations, but if you start negotiations for Prince asking for David Price+, you get hung up on pronto.

    I would really like to see Melvin explore that, too

    I don't even want to say much about the horrid officiating today. Let's not forget he also screwed over Findley on the "handball" yellow card. The 0-0 tie for England is a great result for the US. Just need to take care of business now against Algeria on Wednesday.

    I think the Orioles' pitchers' success under Mazzone speaks for itself on that one. You always look like a genius when you've got 3 future HoFers in your starting rotation.

    Clearly Peterson was affecting Soup from a distance prior to his arrival, as well.
  8. TooLiveBrew
    Yeah, I know what you're referencing there, sheethead. He often seems to veer his route back & away from a sinking ball right at the end (sort of fades his route back toward the wall a bit). Instead of "scared of the ball", though, I take it that he's afraid the ball will get past him & roll to the wall.
  9. TooLiveBrew
    You would be up for GMOTY honors imo if you get Price for (1+ season of salary control remaining) Fielder. You absolutely do not get him, let alone more.
  10. TooLiveBrew
    He gets terrible jumps on balls in general, and often takes poor routes. For an example, take the ball in the LC gap in yesterday's game -- he was late on it, and it was a catchable ball for a better fielder. Then to ice the cake, he dives after the ball is already past him... ugh. He just has horrible instincts on defense, and especially (it seems) in the outfield.

    Too many of these games have been played in midfield. Well, that's really the guts of soccer, though. There have been WC games this year where a team will muster 2 shots on goal and the other team will have 0 on goal. As has been pointed out, it's early. Far too early to determine the WC is just boring. I agree with yoshii, the games have been very entertaining for me. When each team is able to get off 20+ shots in a game, that just isn't enough competent defense imo.
  12. TooLiveBrew
    That's a good point, didn't consider it like that

    People who then turn around and profit off that rescue should have to. She didn't profit off of being rescued, she profited off of undertaking the voyage
  14. TooLiveBrew
    So should appropriately-aged (whatever arbitrary number that is) sailors be forced to repay rescue fees? I think it's ridiculous that people are suggesting she should have to do that. That's precisely the kind of operation seafaring rescue forces are assembled to execute. And they're probably funded through taxes. It would be like clamoring that any sailor that has to be rescued in Lake Michigan, or the Atlantic/Pacific off the U.S. coasts should have to pay for the service. How dare they sail & get out to explore the world!

    Uruguay has been impressive thus far. They were definitely under my own radar, not that that's saying much. As for Spain... just wow.
  16. TooLiveBrew
    Do any of the cable companies stream their free on-demand stuff online? I guess you'd have to provide some kind of username & password to access this if it existed, so I doubt it. They really should do that.

    Braun is just awful out there. I was one that felt optimistic he'd improve. If anything, he's gotten worse (probably just hasn't improved or regressed, though)
  18. TooLiveBrew
    Iirc Montana is 85 or 90 as well. Which is good, because, well... it's Montana, and it takes forever to cross
  19. TooLiveBrew
    I wish we could adopt a nationwide speed limit of 75 on interstate highways, and actually enforce the letter of the law. That would get my vote.
  20. TooLiveBrew
    I'd rather see them go on the open market and find the best available man for the job. There has to be someone out there... doesn't there? I used to believe this, and I guess I still do. I just don't believe Doug Melvin will identify him. -It appears Lucroy is up to stay, and it's good to see that he's starting to get a lot more starts. I'd make sure that he & Kottaras split time the rest of the season. This is actually about the only thing I have confidence in with Macha. He's handled the catching situation pretty well all season, aside from being a bit gun-shy to play Lucroy at first. Ken Macha, not comfortable playing a prospect? Gasp!
  21. TooLiveBrew
    Yes, maybe I can understand that logic (and I know you're being sarcastic) but Gomez has proven in his 4,000 bunt attempts this year that he has no idea how to actually lay down a bunt. He simply needs to stop trying. That's the mind-boggling thing about the "logic" Macha was employing.
  22. TooLiveBrew
    Cammy was the King of this domain for his Brewers tenure. 31 of his 49 homers were with the bases empty, many with the game in hand either way. He was even worse than Grissom, who hit 27 solo shots out of his 44 Brewers home runs. Clearly, both players had a negative protection presence (-PP), hindering their teammates' abilities to reach base
  23. TooLiveBrew
    No, no one panicked. If anything, the club waited too long. His stuff isn't good enough to consistently get AA hitters out, let alone MLB hitters. I'm not sure if you have a personal tie to Jeff or not, geddy, but I'm glad the club made the decision it did. In the hierarchy of Brewers starting pitchers, Suppan was at best 6th or 7th. There was no reason to keep him on the roster because he was less bad two or three years ago, and have him block guys you need to see pitch (like Parra, Cappy, Bush, Davis)
  24. TooLiveBrew
    Where is the scoring this year? I'd attribute it to every game that we've seen so far being each team's first game in the tourney
  25. TooLiveBrew
    For those that missed it, Fifa allowed Drogba to play with a cast, & he came on as a sub in the 65th minute today in the draw v. Portugal Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has a "strong" problem with his sciatic nerve, and might not be able to return to play in the World Cup. He was subbed out at halftime in the opening match v. Paraguay
