    Straw I just find it confusing why you are acting so entitled on this. No one called you out or anything, yet your tone in things like Oh yeah, I forgot the instances where telling someone to "suck it" is a ´good´ thing. My mistake. Is just so darn arrogant. Not sure why this topic bugs you so much, but like I said earlier in this thread to Patrick, I will never tell a fan which players to like/dislike.

    The bride's father offered to go with me to a Brewer's game if I am ever back in Milwaukee when the team is at home, so I'll have to be sure to make the trip! Glad to hear you had such a great time. If you haven't been to Miller Park, it's quite the gem. Although from everything I hear so is Citizens Bank Park.

    If you pass to an attacking player further up the pitch, the player receiving the pass cannot be closer to the goal line than the last defender The ball also trumps the last defender in any situation, so I would amend Diskono's explanation in this manner: If you pass to an attacking player further up the pitch, the player receiving the pass cannot be closer to the goal line than the last defender or the ball at the time the ball is played (passed, crossed, headed, etc.) EDIT: Oops, sorry yoshii8, I missed that you explained the ball/offsides thing. TooLiveBrew, I agree it was pretty obvious that Spain outplayed us by a lot, the US defenders and Tim Howard did a great job of packing it in, and taking advantage of counter attacks. Howard was nothing short of brilliant. I was overjoyed to see him play so well. Is he still with Everton in the E.P.L.? Our defenders were great, as well. It's funny how successful teams in almost any sport can be that play sound D & are opportunistic (aka lucky http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif) on O

    Are you citing anything beyond the Parra altercation? I'm not sure I can think of "a number of things" And you're projecting maliciousness on this when it just as easily could have been playful. Just because you don't like it doesn't automatically make it 'bad' Kobe Bryant (iirc) got in trouble for a throat-slashing gesture... I can't think of a pro athlete I would describe as less of a hothead than Bryant. (ok, one... Craig Counsell!)

    ---If you would please find the treads from last year when everyone was raving over Butler please Why should he have to do that? All X did was report a fact (I assume it's a fact that Butler was ranked where he said)

    Just saw the instant classic replay... great win for sure, but I'm not even convinced the US was even the better team on the field today. I don't want to detract any more than that from an epic win, however. Nice!

    I really don't think one action is worth questioning Prince over. I'm sure this type of stuff happened a lot more than anyone will ever know prior to every game being televised... aka the Golden Years

    Were the Brewers rumored to sign Pena at any previous juncture? I swear I remember the Brewers being linked to a D.R. or Caribbean prospect whose most common comp. was Jermaine Dye.

    A physical striker like that can be a huge advantage. I haven't gotten a chance to see these guys play, but the good Reverend speaks for me --

    However, he's no Hanley. Just want to make sure you mean this in terms of offense, not overall. If Escobar is able to develop into an above-avg. SS (which I think he can/will), imo his value is higher than Ramirez's due to the gigantic gap between their glovework.

    That I occasionally go out on a limb with a negative prediction is based on the reality of what I'm watching. Sure there are ups and downs in seasons, but this team just doesn't have the starting pitching that either the Cardinals or the Cubs have. Would anyone here not rather have a top 3 of Carpenter, Wainwright and Piniero or Zambrano, Lilly and Dempster over Gallardo, Suppan and Looper? It's a no-brainer. Joel Pineiro? I can't take that seriously. And whose offense is the no-brainer? Right now the division race is very tight, and I think it's been obvious since the beginning of the season that the Brewers would need to be buyers in terms of pitching. Thing is, the Brewers can find a Lilly/Dempster arm, while neither the Cubs nor Cards are likely to find a player like Fielder or Braun to close the gap offensively. Hardy will heat up, Hart looks back on his game, and so far the replacements for Rickie Weeks have stepped up admirably. Would you and others stop twisting my words? My initial post said "this looks like a team that will be selling in July". I didn't advocate selling now. This is from the exact same post in which you said the above: --"I started this thread for one reason. So that whenever what appears to me to be inevitable happens, that fans take it in stride."-- Sometimes I don't even know how to react to what you post. Do you really enjoy making overtly negative posts with supposed out clauses so you can never be wrong? Or do you actually believe you're doing everyone this huge favor in preparing our feeble brains for disaster?

    "A nice play by a very good centerfielder, McLouth -- a GG award winner last year -- runs down the shot off of A-Rod's bat" That's a quote from NYY pbp announcer Michael Kay. Nate McLouth just made an average play in CF, and didn't even get a great jump (nor was the ball hit particularly well). This is the problem I have to deferring to most media types & former ballplayers. They often times are just wrong. 'Because I said so!' is just a bad reason to believe anyone.

    I think there is no question Hall is a 'big league baseball player'. I just think he got a fat contract & isn't living up to it, so fans are more disappointed in him than someone like Kendall (just an example... hope that can of worms stays closed here). Gamel isn't rotting on the bench Hall's been struggling so much lately that it feels like any time he's playing, Gamel is rotting on the bench. I've really started to feel bad for Hall. Watching his body language esp. last night... he just looks like he wants to let our a primal scream. He's already tried changing up his swing, so maybe his recent frustrations will lead to more willingness to work on a complete overhaul. Hang in there, Bill. The Brewers need you.

    Glad that smart people who follow the Bucks like this move. I've really completely lost any passion I had for the NBA & the Bucks. And I was a huge Bucks fan growing up (beginning with the pre-Big Dog era/timeframe)
  15. TooLiveBrew
    I don't get it. What point is there for a team like the Bucks to trade for this kind of return? Is there any kind of plan at this point?

    Paul Molitor is living proof of why walks are overrated. A superfreak talent, good enough to make it into the HoF, is reason to dismiss simple logic? Walks are not overrated. They are walks. A batter reaches base safely. What am I missing here? Is Shaquille O'Neal's career proof that free throws are overrated?
  17. TooLiveBrew
    I know it's been mentioned in the past that newspapers/publications are often the ones stressing that reporters blog, blog, blog! Even so, I think it's lazy to just slap together a post without making sure it's worthwhile. Reminds me of how BF.net stresses not just making a post of "I agree!" or some other one-line response... bring some content. And that's a fansite -- you'd definitely hope sports journalists would actually be motivated to be informative & bring something new/unique to the table.

    How many AB are we talking for those splits? I don't think anyone doesn't wish the best for Katin, but I think that pointing out his redundancy due to the handedness of the OF starters, and questioning how his lack of plate discipline would translate against even better pitching, is completely fair.

    The watermelon wheat tends to go quickly. It's relatively popular, and I'd have to guess they don't brew much of it. As fruit wheats go, it's pretty good.
  20. TooLiveBrew
    Dare someone question the integrity of Jim Bowden?! Interesting point on Perez, endaround. If the Brewers are willing to check out broken-down Pedro Martinez's throwing session (even if they got shafted by him), why not take a look at Perez?
  21. TooLiveBrew
    Hardy would still bring back nice talent. Scouts & GMs don't tend to make as much of slumps as fans do when players have demonstrated success like Hardy. Not to mention the well-documented back luck J.J. ran into for much of this season, hitting the ball hard & just not finding the outfield grass. That said, I don't want to see Hardy traded during this season.
  22. TooLiveBrew
    McGehee's BABIP has been insane so far this season. Not sure that I'd pick him over Prince against LHP at this point, but they're probably somewhat close there (in terms of talent).
  23. TooLiveBrew
    Reality is the Brewers have the worst starting pitching in the division. Reality is the Cubs offense which has underachieved all year is starting to wake up. Reality is the Cardinals are the most balanced team in the division Reality is that the Brewers' offense is far more talented at this point than the Cubs or Cards. Reality is that adding one legit arm like Bedard gives the Brewers enough pitching talent to be in the hunt for the division & WC to the end. Not trying to be negative? Huh?
  24. TooLiveBrew
    Well, good point -- I guess I can understand when it's the primary, in-division rival. With the Yankees, it just doesn't make sense to me.
  25. TooLiveBrew
    I think that as long as Bedard's able to return to health, we'll see him in Milwaukee before the ASB. At least, I would prefer him to DD & I don't think the asking prices will be too different.
