    That's a pretty well-done article, I have to admit. "I feel surprisingly comfortable," Braun said. "I think I'm already better in left field than I was at third base." That's good to hear, though it can be filed under the 'what did you expect him to say?' category. "That's why Melvin turned down a Weeks-for-Chad Cordero trade offer from Washington while the Brewers were still looking for a closer." Wow - it's no wonder the Cordero talks didn't go anywhere.

    I think 20 HR is a perfect reference point for what to expect from Cameron this season.

    "Tony Gwynn Jr. and Gabe Kapler could be the backups." That's one way for Rosenthal to prove he has no idea what's going on in Milwaukee. I heard from a pretty decent source the Brewers have been asking for some pretty decent talent back for any of their players. Good. That's how we should want it to be. The notion that Gross is pinched for a roster spot is a flat-out joke. He's our clear-cut 4th OF, and a darn good one.

    "The Journal-Sentinel article led to the following great comments from people posting on Brewerfan.net, a fan message board: Hawing wrote: Imagine if the increase in energy translated into more inside-the-park home runs. Nader Raider Tim wrote: So when do the Brewers announce that they are introducing the Boca Brat into the Brat Race? SoCal Brew Crew Fan wrote: I love Prince, but he's been a veggie for how long? Two weeks? That's like me drinking too much on Saturday night and having a front page article on Monday that "SoCal Brew Crew Fan permanently gives up alcohol." I can't buy it yet." Neither can I, SoCal. Neither can I. Woooooooo1ot1!!

    Holy crap is that scary. Best wishes to Mark & his family. And yes, this makes targeting Brian Roberts seem even more relevant than before.

    Hearing about this from Ned shocks me... in a good way. I smell Ted Simmons's influence...

    Facts didn't do anything for you? I'm not sitting here claiming it's the safest breed - just refuting the wild claims you made. Pit bulls often attack for no reason & it was a pit bull... about 90% of the time over the last 15 years There's no room for that if you want to have an objective discussion imho. EDIT: it'd be a 911 call the second I see it...just like I would a drunk driver. Except by that logic you'd call 911 when any breed was wandering off its leash... the equatable version here would be only calling 911 if the drunk driver was white/black/latino/whichever race you deem the most 'likely' to crash & cause harm.

    Every time my wife and I see a story on a dog attack, we raise our finger in the air and wait for the inevitable reveal that it was a pit bull. It's about 90% of the time over the last 15 years. I would not allow my 5 year-old within a mile of one. Right, just because the media reports on dog attacks like it does missing children: Pit bulls = cute little white girls You can't honestly be under the impression that 90% of dog attacks are by pit bulls. EDIT: To give my claims some teeth - "According to the Clifton study, pit bulls, Rottweilers, Presa Canarios and their mixes are responsible for 74% of attacks that were included in the study" (-- Clifton, "Dog attack deaths and maimings, U.S. & Canada, September 1982 to November 13, 2006") "The risk of attack from german shepherds, bull terriers, blue/red heelers, dobermans and rottweilers was four to five times higher than for other common breeds." (-- Thomson, et al., "The public health impact of dog attacks in a major Australian city" (Adelaide) January 1990 to July 1993) Also from the Thompson study... frequencies of dog attack, by breed: 25.3% - German Shepherd 13.6% - Bull terrier 13.6% - Blue/red heeler 11.7% - Doberman 9.1% - Rottweiler The notion that pit bulls are the one breed to avoid/that attacks at an alarming rate is, quite simply, a complete and utter farce.

    You can get rid of that "almost", since we know he was throwing down in the mid-& low 80s range, too.

    My wife while not a vegetarian is huge into all natural foods and I just cant get myself excited by a life full of flax seed, fruits, vegetables, and no good potato chips (Blue Cheese/Hot Wing Doritos) Try the company Garden of Eatin' - their blue corn tortilla chips are a-maaaaay-zing. Especially if you're into chips & salsas.

    Pit bulls often attack for no reason Unless being mistreated & abused in their pasts is a "reason." You're making a gross generalization about any random sampling of pit bulls, when in fact the ones that attack are those who were used to fight and/or abused in some other way(s). Any dog can attack for "no reason." It's just that people have the perception that pit bulls inherently do so more. It's nothing inherent, just that there are still a lot of these dogs being used to fight. Couple that with tons of poor breeding and crossbreeding, and you just have a larger sample of 'tainted' dogs than with many other breeds. There's nothing that makes a pit bull necessarily do this just because it's a pit bull - aside from incredibly poor breeding & management by humans. When's the last time any breed of dog attacked (a child, perhaps) and there was a good explanation? It's not like there's ever a neat & tidy reason when it's another breed. You appear to be differentiating by breed as though certain breeds have mean streaks in them. Dogs may, but breeds certainly tend not to. Pits are the extreme, though, as they were originally bred for fighting (as were bulldogs) - but the irresponsible breeding/crossbreeding & horrid treatment of fighting dogs is to blame, not the breed itself.

    wow, go for it, those won't last long at all.
  14. TooLiveBrew
    Thanks fellas! Obviously my memory was off here. *gasp!* It's my first official "misrememberance"!

    Long hair isn't the same as dreads. You're determining content of character based on one specific hairstyle? Al Harris has dreads. So does Lenny Kravitz.

    I'm kind of on the fence as to whether Cappy is the all-star Cappy or the bad Cappy. Probably because he's neither - he sits comfortably in-between the two as a solid #3/4 type SP... just mho.
  17. TooLiveBrew
    I am not positive but am pretty sure he is not a type A Free Agent, because in order for a player to be a type A or Type B free agent the team (in this case the Giants) has to offer said Free Agent Arbitration. We didn't offer arbitration to either Cordero or Linebrink, though, did we? My source for his FA status was mlbtraderumors.com. Dierkes (sp?) is usually solid.

    You guys with your selective memories! Conveniently forgetting all the great things Sheffield did for the Brewers & the city of Milwaukee...

    But Sheets can start 'early' on normal rest and they can flip over the rotation due to the off-day on April 1, right?
  21. TooLiveBrew
    we'll call it dual reasoning.
  22. TooLiveBrew
    The funny thing to me is that I'm wondering if having this much SP was done for insurance against a possible Sheets injury, as opposed to stockpiling a 'surplus.' Sure, one is expendable, but we're being reminded that there's room for Villy in Nashville. Our healthy pitching staff is an ace, a strong #2, and 5 #3-5 starters. I think that can get lost in the shuffle. Heck, 6 #3-5 types if you count Parra. I love the policy on acquiring as much pitching as possible. The Brewers have had some really bad luck (& poor mgmt.) with young pitchers in recent years - the 2008 draft is critical to re-stocking the system. If Luismar can help in the bullpen, that'd be a nice first step.
  23. TooLiveBrew
    Well, there's that incredibly simple thing I was omitting. Sheesh - that's what I get for only checking the "April" page of the schedule! *slinks away in shame*
  24. TooLiveBrew
    Wouldn't it be interesting if a 'Fans Union' were to form? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
  25. TooLiveBrew
    It's actually four days rest and he will pitch Saturday the 6th. Just trust me on this, we don't have to have a fifth starter until 04/19, assuming four days rest before every start. No offense intended, but I trust the schedule on the Brewers' official site more than I do anyone that says, "Just trust me..." http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif Still don't know where that off-day is coming from. Is the Crew's website not up-to-date?
