  1. The replay shows it being far enough in the stands that Alou had no shot.
  2. Or he could just stop running out awful lineups. I could care less if Dusty were actually too dumb to understand how to ruin a lineup. Someone needs to convince him that Corey Patterson walks too much and Votto's a great contact hitter. I actually am excited to see if he says anything crazy about Yost batting Kendall 9th. I hope he gives us a nice one!
  3. I settled down when I realized that Bartman did nothing more than what I would have done. And that even him doing that had nothing to do with whether or not Alou could have reached it.
  4. I recall Mota shaking off a few signs. I'd imagine it will take a bit longer for Kendall to get in tune with the relievers, since he didn't catch them much in spring training. I absolutely love Ben Sheets. Also, spliter --> logan = laughter. Kendall was great today next to and behind the plate. I'm tempering my expectations, but if his 2007 does prove to be a fluke, holy cow.
  5. While I don't his "style" more than anyone else, I definitely dig 4 straight seasons with a .900 or greater OPS at 3B. He could slack his way to a .920 OPS for the Brewers and you wouldn't hear me complain. Oh yeah. He's shown nice improvement defensively over his career. I like guys that BB more, but Aramis is a bonafide star imo.
  6. Yea, the guys had the off day. Riske was warm, and he'll be fine. I tend to agree with Ennder that I'd rather have seen Suppan not go back out after 96 thrown; that park with the wind blowing out can be madness. I would like to note that I like seeing Yost go with a player as opposed to a perceived title like 'Closer.' I've wondered if Riske wouldn't be our best RP, and he's been reinforcing that if only through two games.
  7. Glad to bump this up! Found some great stuff at Red Hot Mama, a Reds blog. "RHM: Gameday has stopped responding; it's stuck on Griffey. CTS: Well, Griffey pissed Dusty off by walking. CTS: And then, in a surprising turn of events, that clog of the bases resulted in a run somehow when Phillips tripled. RHM: This is exactly what the game wrap should say. CTS: It gets better. CTS: Phillips is clogging up third. But somehow, he scores when Dunn grounds out to short. CTS: Now EdE's clogging up first. There are 2 outs and Javy's up. CTS: Ah, and Javy ended the inning. CTS: Strange. 2 runs scored without a single solo homerun. RHM: Amazing. RHM: Something just doesn't add up there." ... "Reds Lineup CF Corey Patterson SS Jeff Keppinger RF Ken Griffey Jr. 2B Brandon Phillips LF Adam Dunn 3B Edwin Encarnación 1B Joey Votto C Paul Bako P Bronson Arroyo I wanted to comment on the ludicrousness of this line-up, but then I saw the JTM commercial with Bronson Arroyo and Chris Welsh, and now I'm speechless. Wow." Not sure what commercial she's referencing, but just look at that lineup for a minute or two. There are no words... I just feel so badly for Reds fans.
  8. Mark Few (Gonzaga) I'd be shocked if he leaves 'Zaga for the Marquette job. Not really a knock on MU, but at this point Few would probably be first in line for the Arizona job (just my guess), along with just about anything else that opens up on the West Coast. From those original rumors, Majerus has to have a pretty decent shot, but as has been mentioned, MU will not be short of quality choices. A Big East coaching job at one of the more competitive programs in that conference doesn't come along all that often.
  9. I hope you realize that Portland is expected to be loaded with talent. Oh don't worry - I'm very aware of this. And replace "expected" with " ". This team is flat-out stacked as of right now! I'm blogging the blue Beavers for OregonLive.com (The Oregonian's online format) this season, and am in awe of the amount of talent that happens to be passing through Portland this year. I'm not sure what names you're looking for on Fresno's roster, but you may want to re-do your homework. The Giants may not have the best system in baseball, but their #4 (Nate Schierholtz), #9 (John Bowker) and #10 (Emmanuel Burriss) prospects are on the roster as linked. Throw in a few pitchers with big-league experience (Jesse Foppert, Pat Misch, Billy Sadler), and a former Brewers catching prospect (Eliezer Alfonzo) and you have a team that has a half dozen players worth watching, which is more than enough reason to go out and see a team. I guess it'd be more "do your homework", since I clearly know nothing about the Gigantes' AAA squad. I recognized Foppert, Messenger, Fortunato, Grybowski, Mateo, VICTOR SANTOS (!!WOO!@!OT!@!!), & E. Alfonzo... but no one else. ---- Pretty much why I posted this thread. So thanks for pitching in, cj. I'm sorry to so frequently leave things to asking you for help... you're just a very reliable & access-friendly source. Btw, the talent on the blue Beavers alone is reason enough to head out to PGE Park, imo!
  10. Tom Crean is such a sellout. He had it made at MU and had great facilities besides the BC but still had a good life here i just dont understand. Sean Miller from Xaiver is another name being thrown around I mean this in the least 'prick' way possible - that's so unfair. Tom Crean did a great job at MU, and earned his way to one of the most big-time college hoops jobs in the country. Marquette made a great hire & was lucky to have him - we should be proud as Wisconsinites for him, imo. Well done Tom! And, geez! - could the Big Ten get any deeper in terms of coaches?! Wow. Btw, I love that there'll still be a Crean-Ryan competition/rivalry, if only to us fans.
  11. I'll second this one, even though it's more often about things that aren't baseball. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  12. Thanks for the tip, splitter. I'm getting the feeling that I don't need to worry about covering what young 'prospects' might be coming to Portland for the opening series this weekend... it looks like San Fran. really doesn't have any. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif
  13. If anyone can point me to some of the top players on the Fresno Grizzlies (San Fran.'s AAA club; plays in the PCL), I'd appreciate it a TON. The roster page for their official website just displays a blank page (hilarious coincidence, imo, considering the current lack of talent at the MLB level). Thanks in advance! Oh - I wouldn't need much more than to get some names, but if anyone feels like providing any more additional help/info, I'd gladly accept! EDIT: Subject clarity
  14. Also returning is me. http://www.nctcsf.org/images/Show_Posters/whoop.jpg Teehee, kidding. Glad you can contribute to it again. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  15. and they don't pay competitively. Can you back this up? I'm not agitating, just curious.
  16. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif
  17. The "Issues & Events" forum has a thread stickied that addresses the OP's question, to a degree. I'll mention Ducksnorts.com (SD Padres focus) & Knucklecurve.com (general MLB), both by Geoff Young. The guy does his research, and writes very well. Oh, and I know I already pimped this one, but I still can't get enough of it: The Disabled List Informer This last one is easily my favorite MLB blog. The guy's very active, responsive, & knowledgeable. Do not miss the DL Informer!
  18. Maybe one's adopted.[/kidding] http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/embarassed.gif Thanks, cj.

  20. You do know that both the guy on base, and Prince scored that inning. And if one walk is wild, the team would go through a lot of pitchers in each game I'm not even going to get into a Yost debate here or now.
  21. I want to shoot Ned Yost in the face. Takes the bat out of Prince's hands, doesn't get his wild RP out of the game, nor does he bring in his LOOGY. Honestly? What's the point of having faith in this moron? I spent all offseason telling myself to give him the benefit of the doubt and that I need to relax. Ned Yost is a MORON. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gifhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gifhttp://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/mad.gif
  22. According to ESPN, we have Mark Cameron, Tony Gwynn Sr. and Ryan Hunter. WHY IZ EVERY1Z HATEZ ON ESPN?!11/?
  23. Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes baseball season is HERE! I am so excited! (Starts running around the room, screaming with his arms in the air) I can't wait! (Passes out) Hahaha! HAPPY OPENING DAY EVERYBODY! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif That was just the one quote I happened to copy... obviously I share all the excitement & enthusiasm of everyone else! Woogie, what can I say? You make baseball time as much fun as Rubber Ducky makes bath-time. Probably even moreso. Am I the only one that sometimes sort of 'forgets' that Sheets is one of our SPs? I think his propensity to miss time has just made me adjusted to a rotation without him. It's like an Opening Day present every year - when I first read Woogie's IGT, I literally said, 'Oh, that's right - Sheets!' http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif Oh, and to properly convey my joy for this season beginning... http://bp2.blogger.com/_zGCwQf9mmXs/Rg_SzLj5JWI/AAAAAAAAALA/Gd18-9pSpF8/s320/gollum_rotk_3.jpg
  24. cj, I apoligize if you've addressed this elsewhere, but is Tim any relation to Gordon?
  25. Whoops - well, ... "Hey west-coast Brewers fans, just a heads-up..." http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
