    I remember thinking in the first quarter that Jennings was going to be cold all night. Whoops. The 3rd quarter was absolutely insane. It makes that 3rd quarter against the Pistons look pedestrian by comparison. When Redd comes back, look out for the Bucks.

    It brings me great comfort knowing so many other people despise Joe Buck and Tim McCarver too. But it also brings me great confusion as to why Fox seemingly has earmuffs on about the criticism the duo receives and the potential turn off they are to fans who would otherwise be watching.

    "It beat me up inside. For them to give up on me this year, it kinda hurt. I definitely feel like I was being punished." Right, you were being punished for not performing, JJ. What's not to understand?

    The stupid, smug smirk Ken Rosenthal always has on his face makes it hard for me to believe anything he says.

    By saying the Brewers should make a trade, Braun is saying the current guys aren't good enough and the Brewers need to get better. Comments like that don't sound like they are coming from a cohesive team that has each others back. Burns and McClung are professionals and don't need to be told they aren't doing their job by one of their peers because it isn't Braun's job to make personnel decisions.

    I did the same thing! Maybe that guy who was trying to sell his iTie and got shot down rubbed out Billy.

    Altidore looked gassed in the second half. I can't imagine what kind of game shape his is in seeing as he hasn't played for his club since like 2008. The US is still rather thin on the bench, something hopefully the Gold Cup can help out in getting some new guys playing time. I would feel better about finishing second if the US didn't have a 2-0 lead for a half. The stellar marking displayed against Spain and in the first half disappeared and led to Brazil taking over. All in all, it feels good to finally get this far in a competitive competition, but sucks to lose this way.

    I believe it was Odalis Perez, then with the Dodgers, who claimed a ghost tickled his feet while staying at the Pfister.

    I think the Bradley straight red was harsh, but still within the parameters that constitute a red card offense. He came in late, studs up, straight into the opponents ankle. Certainly a card was warranted and the color usually will be yellow, but just not today. I don't think it's that big of loss because Bradley commits a lot of needless fouls and picks up dumb cards consistently. And this way Feilhaber can start and contribute to the offense and let Ricardo Clark be the holding midfielder, whereas Bradley and Clark essentially have the same skill set. Overall, this is a great win for the Yanks. After a lackluster first two games that had everyone wondering if the US had taken a step back from the 06 World Cup, the Americans come out with some fight in them and produce two quality wins against two quality opponents. Now if we can just develop some depth to our roster, we will hopefully be able to make a nice run in the World Cup next year. Oh, and Jay freaking DeMerit, way to represent Green Bay and Wisconsin!

    Adu has the same disadvantage most American soccer players in Europe have: being American. American players have a scarlet letter on their chests when trying to make it in Europe because Europeans would rather give playing time to someone who comes from a country that actually likes soccer. As for the wunderkind, he comes off as cocky, which isn't surprising because I'm sure all he's heard from everyone is how good he is and will be. His stated goal is to be in the hall of fame and be considered the greatest baseball player who ever lived. Apparently winning a World Series isn't very important to him.

    I saw Narveson pitch a week ago in Nashville and he was pretty dominate. He pitched 4 innings in relief, didn't walk a batter and didn't give up many hits either. Parra needs a place get his head on straight and Nashville is the place to do it.

    This is a must win game. But seriously, avoiding a sweep would be swell.

    Wouldn't that play be the infield fly rule?

    The best line Uecker had during his time in the TV booth was when he said "Major League 3, that was played in airplanes the day it came out."

    That's kind of what I was getting at. Ideally, you'd be able to go to a Cubs game without any problems persay, but it's going to happen anyway. The best way to avoid this kind of interaction is just not going. I'm sure most people would say that they have a right to go to every game with a perfect atmosphere and I agree, but it won't happen against the Cubs.That seems more like an assumed reality to give fans a license to act like jerks and justify infringing on other fans, who also paid for a ticket, the right to watch a baseball game. Instead of accepting the preconceived notions established by previous Cubs/Brewers games and allowing them to fester into the 'visible altercations' and swearing contests the latest series have produced, treat your fellow fan with some respect and don't respond to the Cub fan who just belittled you or your team. Be a part of the solution instead being a part of the problem.

    Mitch Williams tonight on MLB Network said he wasn't surprised Ryan Braun gets plunked after he hits home runs. I am assuming he made that remark in regards to Braun taking his time coming out of the box and hanging his tongue out coming to first base. That lead to Joe Magraine commenting on how the Brewers were three outs away from untucking their jerseys. I couldn't really tell if he was mentioning it because he thought it was disrespectful or just as a thing the Brewers do when they win. Overall, the idea that untucking jerseys after a win is disrespectful is completely ridiculous. But if other teams don't like it so much, then they should just beat the Brewers and they won't have to be subjected to such a unsportsmanlike display.

    What I wish Macha would have done last night is bring in Jorge Julio and have him plunk the first batter he faced. That way, the Brewers get their payback, Julio gets ejected, and no valuable pitcher is wasted. Plus, if Julio got suspended it would have been an added bonus.

    I'm surprised opposing batters still bring a bat with them up to the plate, especially with the bases loaded. It's not like they need to use it.

    I'm pretty sure he is the band director at Waukesha North. Someone who went there told me that.

    Woo, go Kiel! The little city that does big things. Represent.

    I made this my senior year of high school in my video production class with three other guys. I am not the voice over, but I do everything else in the video.

    I completely agree, but as a 9 year old, it didn't help me understand multiplication any better.

    I was one of those gifted students growing up and I can remember in the 3rd grade, spending most of the class work time being asked to help out the 'slower' students in the class. I wasn't really a fan of this because all the material came easy to me and I didn't have the patience to explain it to someone who didn't get it at the same speed. My mom thought this did more to hold me back than help the slower kids move forward, and I tend to agree. As for teachers and adults not being able to make children feel 'put on the spot' or 'singled out' for being inferior to others, I had a teacher in 8th grade who on a couple of quizzes, which were corrected by other students, polled the class to find out the worst answer someone put down. There were things like Cap'n Crunch was the general for the Southern army in the Civil War and answers like that. It was really funny. In regards to grades, my science teacher sophomore year of high school taught me that it isn't the letter grade you receive but what you learn that matters. My mom had a hard time accepting this idea because she thought I should be a straight A student, but I fully embraced it. Students today are too fixated on the letter grade that they disregard actually learning something from a class, the real reason they are in school. Why people skip class is something I may never understand. They are paying money to go to school, or maybe their parents are, but someone is still financing their education, which does not come cheap these days.

    The U.S. is also asking fans going to the game and just in general to wear red tomorrow to show support, so wear red tomorrow. I like the U.S.'s chances in this game. The cold weather factor has gotten into the heads of Mexico so much that they showed up to Columbus two days earlier than they normally would have. Plus their confidence has to be low after losing to a weak Sweden team a couple weeks ago.

    I feel very flattered. Thank you.
