    Joe Girardi of the Marlins won the award in 2006 with the team finishing fourth in the NL East That was a huge mistake for manager of the year. Most managers could have improved a team drastically with the talent that he had come in that year. Many would have done it without burning out 2-3 young arms in the process.

    I don't know how anyone in Minn does it Looking at the attendance, very few in Minnesota do.

    Are you talking about Braun? If I had to guess, the main reason Braun doesn't get IBB's much is Fielder hitting behind him more than anything else. I agree a .340 OBP is low for an MVP candidate. I would like his OBP to be a little higher, but it isn't terrible like it was in the first half.

    Because of the shift I work, my wife and I basically sleep in shifts. I get home from work and fall asleep on the couch until 6-7 then I go to bed and wake her up. I don't know if I could sleep in the same room with my wife because she snores and I am a very light sleeper. The only problem I have with this is if I sleep on the couch wrong, it messes up my back for a week. I am not sure we would ever go so far as sleeping in seperate rooms, but I wouldn't bet against it.

    The Cards - After watching the Cards throw helmets, play like they didn't care for 16 innings and whine like little babies...Villy somehow woke up this "Sleeping Giant". Yeah that's been bothering me also. Did they just not care if they won earlier in the game? If that's the case LaRussa should be fired for not motivating his players.

    I don't remember exactly, but I am guessing it had something to do with a comment he made about how he should have won the MVP, not some other guy. I know, real specific.

    Baseball and sports in general is an odd case where most people side with the giant corporation(billionaire/owner) over the little guy(millionaire/player). I always find myself siding with the team as it is more likely to be around for the next 10 years as opposed to the players as they will likely be gone within 6. That doesn't make it any less strange.

    So Cuzzi sucked behind the plate. What a surprise.

    Not real big on The Great Dane's food, but the beer is good. Water City Grill in Oshkosh is very good.

    I will admit that there are a lot of things I find annoying about casual fans. However I think that baseball and the media do a poor job of helping casual fans become more knowledgeable. The Brewers have made a huge effort drawing more fans, but little effort helping those fans learn ballpark etiquette. I know some disagree that the Brewers should make that effort, but we will just have to disagree about that. The media constantly uses the Triple Crown stats. Most people are going to use what they are constantly spoon fed. I don't think switching to the slash stats would be that big of a change(BA/OBP/SLG) or at the very least including OBP and SLG(sorry to repeat brewjihad here). Then you have one of the biggest awards in baseball(Cy Young) that is given away largely based on a stat(wins) that is mostly out of control of the pitcher. I just feel that baseball is doing a poor job trying to help fans become more knowledgeable.

    Not until we start losing and end up back at the top of the draft. I have to say I am surprised the players union would step in since I didn't think minor league players were included in the player's union. I thought that was the reason minor league players are never in video games.

    I don't recall if this was my least favorite umpiring crew or the one with Eddings was. Yup, it is this one. Crew K.

    Phil Cuzzi behind the dish tonight. I would expect a frustrating night with the umpire. At least we get out of town before having Layne.
  14. logan82
    Sheets pitched poorly, but had good results. He was missing his spots all night. The home plate umpire was all over the place.

    Really? I usually have no problem with the station. It is 100.5 FM

    There is little doubt in my mind that our rotation without Sheets is much worse. I have little doubt Sheets will be worth whatever he is paid next year and the year after. My questions would be 1. How many games would the Brewers be expected to win without Sheets? 2. How many wins would Sheets add over whoever would be our 5th starter in each year of his contract? 3. At what point will Sheets start to lose velocity?(This is why not having his curve right all of last year bothers me) 4. Would we be able to trade Sheets after the first 2 years of the contract? 5. Would we be able to use the money from signing Sheets to add more wins with other players in the 3rd and 4th years of his contract? I assume he will get at least 4 years. If he signs a 3 year contract and we don't match I will be upset. If we are likley to get minimal gain with that money in the 3rd and 4th years over Sheets I don't see why we shouldn't sign him. I feel nervous giving 20%+ of our payroll to one player in his 30's. 6. How much will making the playoffs impact our future TV contract?

    I still say Braun has been stealing RBI opportnities from Fielder. Has the HP umpire been all over tonight? I see it is Wolf and I remember the name so he must be bad. The 1st strike to Braun was further inside than the 2nd ball on Gameday.

    I don't like many of their regular callers. Cowboy from Windsor annoys the crap out of me.

    If you are trying to say that Sheets is a better pitcher I would agree. He isn't as likley to be out of the starting rotation in 3-4 years like Suppan. Not that Suppan will be out of the starting rotation, but it will probably be argued he should be. I think it is similar because we are talking about a 30+ year old pitcher who is likley to get worse. The big question is when and how much. If it was a 3 year contract I have no problem. When we start getting into 4+ year at $19+ per in the 3rd and 4th years(20%+ of our annual payroll) I don't think it is worth it.

    I think the fact that if we were talking about the starting rotation right now we would probably be arguing whether Suppan, McClung or Villanueva should be our 5th starter should be some indication on how overpaid Suppan is. I know he went for the going rate for starting pitchers on the free agent market, but I think it is a good example of how little you get for your money in free agency. You are paying a ton of money and alot of years for a guy who is likely to be getting worse as the contract gets bigger. I think we should look at Suppan's contract and take it as a warning of what to expect with Sheets if we were to give him a big contract. We would probably be pretty happy for the first couple years, but after that I would expect him to get closer to league average with a huge contract. Suppan has single handedly killed the phrase "innings eater" for me. I used to think it was more than just a nice thing to say about a player when you didn't have anything better to say.

    And to be quite honest, it isn't their business to tell people how to be considerate of others. I think it is their business to protect a person's right to watch a game. Much the same as making people sit in their designated seats instead of buying Terrace Reserved and moving down into Diamond Box seats. That's just my opinion though. It could be debated that having such a policy would alienate some fans. I am sure it would, but not insituting some policy will also alienate fans. If people's parents or parental figures couldn't the message of respect for other people's property or somebody else's home (Miller Park, neighbor, whatever) or just general respect for others, than I don't think a few signs are going to get it across either. I disagree. Several posters have mentioned similar poicies that were in effect in other stadiums and said that there were fewer people getting up in the middle of innings. One particular post mention that a similar policy was in effect and then repealed resulting in more people getting up during innings.

    Baseball, unlike football, doesn't really require players playing together. The batting matchups are one on one and other than a few instances with pitchers working with catchers, cutoffs or double plays, really doesn't require much interaction between fielders.
  23. logan82
    Yes, it would and its called football.
  24. logan82
    Braun did it last year and he didn't even dash down to 1B like a dork. June 22, 2007

    I swear Gabe Gross has had more time on ESPN than all of the current Brewers combined.
