    I am dumb
  2. TooLiveBrew
    Wasn't this the same face of the franchise that spurned the Braves to sign with the Mets? Still, I agree that this is an odd move, and would like to see the Brewers inquire on him.

    Bedard is absolutely not the kind of player for whom I'd want to give up on Manny.
  4. TooLiveBrew
    I have to agree on Alvarez, Rasmus, Votto & the Cincy pitchers, but I'm surprised there hasn't been a mention of Jay Bruce yet. That dude scares me. The Reds in general have a really nice young core that they've gotten together. This is why it's critical we do everything in our powers to keep Dusty Baker as their manager. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

    I agree with the observation on Parra that he has just had kind of a Murphy's Law season. It seems like when guys reach on him on errors or lucky seeing-eye singles, that's when he really serves up the meatballs. Of course, Ennder provided good data to suggest this isn't the case. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif I hope Manny can get things ironed out. He's certainly showed (including the first inning last night) why the Brewers & so many others feel so confident in him.

    "I felt good," Jeffress said. "I got enough sleep last night and I just came out firing." Uhh... maybe I'm making too much of what could just be a conversational thing to say, but... is getting enough sleep really a problem Jeremy has? Seems like keeping your body & mind fresh with a good amount of rest should go without saying as a professional athlete.

    Boy, I kinda feel bad saying this, but for the Cap. Times, that's an A+ Brewers/MLB Draft article. Well done, Dennis Punzel. And of course the first & only comment is just a blabbering rant about how Melvin is a crybaby because he wants the draft process improved. Lots of brilliant & constructive insights in that comment, of course.

    On the Marlins' FS-Marlins broadcast just now, the announcers commented that they asked Kendall about how he got the black eye. They related that he (after a joking response of "bar fight") told them it was from a bat -- a long swing that got him while he was catching. Is it really, really strange to anyone else that he'd fib about this? Imo it was kind of a cute/harmless story. EDIT: I'd also appreciate it if someone could share a link on the Kendall-niece story

    He used a perfectly acceptable and accurate tense. He used present tense, which is allowed for things that have occurred in the past and continue to the present. The only events he described were in the past. He described them as inevitably continuing in any & all future events. That is incorrect, and as Casey pointed out, juvenile. And maybe you think I'm wasting everyone's time by discussing this... honestly doesn't change how I feel about it. I think a huge problem in fans' perceptions of baseball is the unchecked power those paid to inform them of the games have. I hate when an announcer says, '[Player X] is a .294 hitter' just because that happens to be player X's current batting average. While in any single occurance the significance is admittedly small, the cumulative effect imho leads to a large exchange of erroneous information. And yes, I am a huge nerd, both as a baseball fan & a grammar 'fan'

    Ah.. um, yeah. So, an alphabetical list, you say? It says ranked by average ratings! And I read it too fast out of laziness! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/embarassed.gifhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/embarassed.gif
  11. TooLiveBrew
    To be fair, I believe what Tom said was more descriptive than predictive, and it is 100% correct Totally agree, but when your job is writing, discussing things in the right tense is (imho) exceedingly important.
  12. TooLiveBrew
    The fact that a Sutton/Grace broadcast is number one leaves me speechless. To me, I just learned that the D-Backs have some diehard fans.

    dlk9s with the post of the millennium! Millennium Falcon that is! *boos himself scornfully* b) When something goes wrong with Burns on the mound, I can pull out the old "I was saying 'boo-urns'" line, and it will make sense This thread is awesome. Who knew it could get better than a spite-filled DFA of Jorge Julio! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  14. TooLiveBrew
    Congrats Mike! Hope this move can be a win-win for both parties.

    I accidentally tuned in last night after Conan's show was over. Hit 'last' on the remote. Was in a very akward part of an interview with Anne Hathaway where she was playing a guitar & singing kinda poorly. The audience sounded comatose. I think I would have rather seen Carson Daly get Conan's timeslot. I'm only half-kidding.
  16. TooLiveBrew
    I didn't think he looked particularly nervous... just my two cents on that. I really enjoyed the show, but I really enjoy Conan's show(s). No surprise there. The Universal Studios skit was great, and I agree with CrewDood -- loved the detail of running through Wrigley & getting chased... and getting away http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  17. TooLiveBrew
    Uuuuuughhhhh Yes, Tom. You've pegged it. Every single time he pitches, runs will be surrendered. Good call.
  18. TooLiveBrew
    I agree with MJLive. I just think the media is over blowing this so they have something to talk about until the finals. DID YOU SEE HE WORE A YANKEES HAT SOMETIMES HE IS GOING TO PLAY FOR THE KNICKS!
  19. TooLiveBrew
    Mick?
  20. TooLiveBrew
    And it would be one thing if Julio displayed any command whatsoever tonight. He just hasn't given the Brewers a compelling reason to keep him around aside from the fact that he is capable of touching the mid-90s with his fb.
  21. TooLiveBrew
    Continued good luck, Cappy! The team could use your help, however much you may be able to give.
  22. TooLiveBrew
    Personally, I see Hardy as a substantial upgrade over Lowrie both offensively and defensively. Ok, then we definitely agree on Hardy--Lowrie. Appreciate your thoughtful posts & insights so far, 804.
  23. TooLiveBrew
    Wouldn't fit Melvin's style at all. Hardly sells low, if ever. I'm sure that most teams scout numerous players during the course of a season, and sometimes it just happens to get reported.
  24. TooLiveBrew
    Awesome question UeckerAddict.
  25. TooLiveBrew
    I noticed that too, Invader, and have noticed Julio appearing to grumble on many other mound visits. I mean, the guy can't really feel justifiably wronged when he's pitching so poorly... can he? Heck, even if I overstated a bit, I used the phrase "many other mound visits" for a guy that's thrown less than 20 innings on the season.
