  1. How'd it taste after grilling, pitchleague? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
  2. Yeah, whoops... edited title to be, well, not wrong. Thanks cc.
  3. http://www2.jsonline.com/sports/brew/image/2001/may/jimmy501.jpg
  4. Link To be out for the season per ESPN's bottom line scroll. It'll be interesting to see how this handicaps the Sox & whether or not the Tigers can climb back in the mix.
  5. I think that, instead of starting the race by pushing off the wall of the pool, backstroke swimmers should have to dive into the pool backwards.
  6. What's Trenni's updated WARR (Wins Above Replacement Reporter)? I think we're very lucky to have a sideline reporter that actually doesn't waste most of the viewers' time with 'Hey! Look at THESE crazy fans!' crap. I think Trenni could very realistically get a shot at p-b-p sometime down the road. She really does her homework & is a consummate professional on-air.
  7. Arbitration clocks don't start but you have to A) have added them to the 40-man roster b) paid them major league minimum while they're here. I've looked a lot into this, and as far as I can tell, September callups absolutely start accruing MLB service days. I'm not 'calling you out', MSC, as I would genuinely love to finally see a definitive answer on September callups & service days... do you have proof to that claim? Every little bit of info I've ever found states that they start burning service time.
  8. This may be obvious, so I apologize if it is, but I know one of the most important things in training a dog to gun-hunt with you is to get it exposed to the sound of gunshots asap. Dogs have a strong instinct to fear a noise & vibration like that (think 4th of July), and basically just have to unlearn that fear. Again, I apologize if that was blatantly obvious. Not sure how familiar you are or aren't with dogs, Robert. What a cute little guy!
  9. CONGRATS brwrsfan! Way to go! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif I realize that it's not for everyone, and I'm perfectly fine with that. I know it's a tad late, but man... screw us, do what you know feels right! She is a feminist in nearly every sense, and I thought she would be quite offended if I had done that. (It turns out she thought I should have, only because she thought it may have been important to her dad, so swing and a miss on that one.) This just reinforces FtJ's excellent conclusion that 'All women are crazy' http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
  10. Third/Fourth/Fifth-ted. I love the Barrelman logo, and it would be such a sweet hat. I know I've seen one, but only one, and unfortunately I didn't go with my instinct to ask the dude I saw wearing it... instead convincing myself, 'Oh, if he's got one, I'll be able to find it' EDIT: Also, the Barrelman hat I saw was different from the one Gobias posted a pic of. My 'ideal' version of it would basically be the hat BC04 just posted above, but instead of the "M" on front, it would be Barrelman.
  11. my mother is gloating that I really wouldn't amount to nothing and that I should just apply at the factory where my dad works because that's where I was destined to go anyway. With all due respect, as she is your mother, that sucks... and I hope you, in a more diplomatic way than this, tell her to 'stick it'. If there's anyone that should be supporting you right now, it's your parents. Clearly, you know you have a better path. Don't let that drag you down. Sorry to hear about the roadblocks for you right now, but hopefully they're temporary. There's no need to apologize, nor is there concern that anyone would delete that post. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif A teaching job will eventually be there for you, and subbing will be a great experience-builder & resume addition. What's bugging me? Crappy, self-absorbed, cheap, disgusting, pointless, vapid, moronic, trashy, vomit-inducing, world-killing 'reality' television spew. Thankfully I have Neil Young to drown out the bile.
  12. Interesting point about the money... I was just thinking that. We've heard since the Sabathia deal how tight the budget supposedly is, so I guess we'll see if that plays a role or not. If we only see 3 or 4 callups, then I think it'd be safe to assume that money was a big factor.
  13. no, that's correct, razzzor. I checked that myself earlier tonight. I wish Carlos the best in his recovery, and as you said earlier, it's a fairly easy injury from which to return. Glad for Lee in that sense.
  14. Branyan had a good game again tonight, and his defense was solid. Counsell had the bad Ole! play at 3B Friday night, and in general I think the defensive gap is very much overstated.
  15. Would Stocker make sense to add if Gwynn was added? I really am unsure. Stocker certainly looked like a great PR option last season. I'm just assuming Gwynn is a no-brainer to get called up, so that could be wrong. I'll be happy to see DeFelice back up, and Nelson seems to be a lock. Iribarren will be a useful bench piece, and I love Crazy Joe Dillon! Probable: Gallardo Probable?
  16. Thanks for reading, and as a random aside, thanks to everyone keeping up with the blog Hey, thanks for the update J. I was 'Brew Favre' that asked on your blog about Luis. Really glad to hear that Luis is going to be fine. Caution is always the best approach when it comes to an arm (esp. a young one... and as promising as Pena's). Please tell Luis that we all wish him the best & a speedy recovery. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  17. Well you just described Guillermo Mota, who was retained, and is out of options. Guess it is rocket science.
  18. God, the Doorman sucks -- why does everyone like this guy?! Seriously, this is awesome. It's sweet to know that 'the guy that has those awesome seats' is not only a true-blue Brewers fan, but he's also a pretty cool guy.
  19. Normally I'm not a woulda, coulda, shoulda kind of guy, but I have a hard time getting past that one play. The player to blame is not Johnson, and not Fielder, but Gallardo. Not simply getting out of the way of that play, let alone trying to hop over it, was a poor decision by Yovani.
  20. As I will say for the final time, Counsell is a better defender than Branyan, and quite apparently, they are choosing to go with him because of his approach at the plate. Choosing to say he is 0-9 and using the tiniest sample available, and then saying Ned should not go with the hot hand...at best, is spinning in circles. What happened to your claim that his OBP is better? Counsell's last 28 days (41 PA): .189/.244/.216/.460 -- Muy caliente! You're the one cherry-picking, DoA. Cousell is a terrible option to have at the plate. The moderate edge he brings on defense doesn't even begin to address the embarrasingly huge gap in offense.
  21. Part of the discussion or insight from the article is that save conversion percentages are drastically overrated. Without looking at either article, I think the point was made that even an 85% success rate shouldn't be viewed as great.
  22. WHAT?! Man... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif Bernie Mac... sad, just sad. Funny, funny man. One of my favorites. "America, let me tell you something..."
  23. Puppies rule. That's so cute http://punditkitchen.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/political-pictures-b-baseball-america-china.jpg
