knock, knock: Who's there? Dave Bush had a quality start!

See You at Fan Fest for Brewerfan's 5 year Anniversary Scouting Report: http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/images/gameday/mugshots/mlb/150414.jpg Westbrook 6-3, 4.77 Westbrook has been more consistent over his last three starts, compiling a 2-0 record and 2.45 ERA in those outings. He was particularly strong against the White Sox on Sunday, allowing just two runs on six hits over eight innings. He was in command of his sinker throughout, especially when he needed to get out of jams. http://milwaukee.brewers.mlb.com/images/gameday/mugshots/mlb/433657.jpg For the second time this season, Bush followed up a Bush 4-6, 5.04 complete-game gem with a stinker, allowing at least one Cardinals run in each of his four innings pitched on Sunday at Miller Park. One of Bush's complete-game efforts came against the Reds, on April 22, but then he was tagged for seven runs in four innings at the Great American Ball Park on May 22. That fits into Bush's season-long struggles on the road -- he's 0-4 with a 7.14 ERA away from Miller Park.

Yup. Come, drink and be merry.

Show up and see what happens. I'm sure that if nothing else, you can just eat my wife's portion because I doubt that anyone will need her ticket.

I've got an extra ticket that I'll be bringing along if someone needs it. Ticket is for a gold package, minus beer (you'd have to fork out a few bucks for a beer cup). Package is minus the shirt. TIcket is how ever much you wanna gimmie.

I just tuned in a few minutes ago. Hart must have really sucked out there in RF if Jenkins in replacing him in the ninth with a four run lead.

Maybe it's that new member, David Copperfield? Honestly, I'm not sure what the deal may be. I did delete one post that was an accidental posting, but I inboxed the author about it.

Also, I think Jamie has done an absolutely great job as PR directer but comments like this: I may very well have deserved this to a point: "Don't post, and protect your fragile, flower like state by not even looking at the site." ... seems pretty darn disrespectful. Kettle, black, I know but I'm not the public relations.[/b] rluzinski Fair enough, Russ. HF and I have spoken and have an understanding. I respect his view point and I understand his feelings. I'm of the opinion that HF understands my point as well. I never meant any disrespect towards David, and he has told me he did not feel disrespected by my words (I was given permission to state that). As a matter of fact, I've learned a bit about him, and I respect his stand. I can see where some people might see my post as being over the line, but I don't think it was. I admit that I got the attention I was looking for, and that this issure has now probably gotten away from it's origional intent of David's view that we should be more considerate when posting. Oddly enough through all this dialogue, I've learned quite a bit. I now realize that if someone's feelings seem trivial to some people including myself, they are very close to home for others. I am now much more aware that if members (of which I am one) have a problem with someone's verbage or attitude that it should be properly addressed. I can not lie to anyone and say that I will be adding keywords to the filtered list, because I won't be. I can't say that nobody's feelings will be hurt, because it will happen (inadvertently and not intentionally I hope). I can't say that from time to time members will leave us, because they will. I can however, tell each and every member of Brewerfan.net that if you feel disrespected in any way, or if you feel personally attacked that you can contact me via inbox or my brewerfan email address and I will listen to you like a friend should, and I give everyone my word that I will try to fix the problem. I may not always be able to correct everything, but I'll try. I've also learned that we should all feel comfortable in contacting moderators to point out trolls, problems, or insults. If somehow a moderator has been the originator of someone's woes, they can address any staff member and the problem will be resolved. If a staff member has been a naughty boy, ya gotta go to Brian. Again, there was never any disrespect involved by any means. Like I said before, I appreciate David taking the time to post his thoughts and reason for his absence. I look forward to the day that we see posts by Huntsvillefan, and strangely enough, though I seemed to be the loudest, I think I learned the most. I tip my cap to the experience, I think it'll help me to help all of you better.

We were crushed. I pitched the first inning, they scored 14 runs. I pitched the second, they scored 6 more. I have no idea what I gave up in the third, but my ERA is around one million. I'm in an 0-6 slump right now (two games without a hit) and just below my index finger on my glove hand is bruised and swollen from catching a throw to force an out at second base. (I held onto the ball) I wish I could say we gave White House a run for their money in that game, but it was a slaughter. Midway through the game, they stopped taking extra bases which was admirable, they could have run up the score by another ten runs or more. edit: I should have beaned someone. Maybe we need to fire the manager?

If there are guys that have indeed played all 21 innings, or each inning of each game they attended, they will sit the second half of tonight's game if there are enough subs to go in for them ok? This should include the pitcher. We need to get another 2 guys farmiliar with the arc because Fever is leaving soon. We can have one guys start at pitcher and then have Fever come in from the bench, or vice versa. Since Josh does not have much time left, I'd say that he should probably play the whole game, cool? ICN won't make tonight's game. (vacation)

All players will get equal time. We all paid the same, we all want to play, we all should get equal time. I don't even think that you can go once through the order and then add guys. According to my sheet, our game is at 9. Where's the possible mix up?

nullbyte's thought goes along the same lines as what Jamie was thinking. No. I had suggested that S1-P1-S2-P2 and so on is bad. Once we hit the bottom third of the order in that lineup, we're in trouble. I think it should be mixed up more than that. Anyone else?? (opinions please)

666 said:I never got the impression that huntsvillefan's intentions were a protest. Huntsville's own words: I have withdrawn from this site in protest I understand why HF is leaving, I wish it weren't happening, but I'm not going to beg anyone to stick around. I think that HF and the moderators all learned a bit from this. I said: No offense intended, but you wanted opinions, and I gave mine. I'd prefer you stay a member of the site, but like I said; if this place is that terrible, don't even read what we say. To which you replied: I think too often people believe that you have to agree on everything or you're an "enemy". I don't think life is that black and white. I agree. I don't know why people can't just understand different people view things differently. I realize that I see things differently than others. Did you think I was being mean and calling HF an "enemy"? I wasn't. I said: That way, you don't have to start another thread like this. you said: I'm not sure what you mean. You'd prefer if he didn't start a thread like this or it would be better for him if he hadn't started a thread like this? Who is it better for, you/brewerfan or him? I'd prefer that if people are so put off by something that they want to leave they first contact a staff member and try to hammer out problems. My life is not so busy that I can't help address a member's concerns. If I were not willing toexamine things and try my best to help, I wouldn't be a very good PR Director would I? When a member -any member- of the site feels that an insult was made or callous behavior reared its ugly head I'd hope that they address a moderator. If a moderator has been the offender, I'd hope that the offended member speak with a staff member. No member should ever feel the need to leave the site due to a misunderstanding or disagreement, but if someone does feel the need to go, then they are obviously free to do so.

I don't want you to go, I wish you'd stay, but like I said before; if ya gotta go, ya gotta go. I do see the difference you are talking about. I said earlier in the day that calling someone a mental case should be reworded to something more practical. I still think that you should reconsider your decision, but we can't go eliminating all phrases or words that aren't cared for. I mentioned earlier that I believe "pissed" should be a gonner, but it's not. I understand that. In the case of someone using the term "mental case" I apologize on behalf of the site. I see your point, I hope you see mine. I'd like to continue trying to understand your thoughts and I'd invite you to check your inbox so we can (you and I) see more eye to eye.

If we as a shole were to coddle to everyone's personal issues, this site would be shut down and never used again. This is a message board and that infers different opinions. Sometimes, peoples feelings get a bit bruised (if they allow it to happen) and that's unavoidable. If you can't accept the fact that each and every term or statement that may somehow be offensive is going to be left alone then I guess it's time for you to leave. Honestly, suggesting that a player has some sort of mental hangup is quite common is baseball and therefore, a common term to a baseball site. If a guy gets rattled because of an error in the 3rd inning and blows a play in the 5th because he's timid, he'll be analized as needing to address a mental aspect of his defensive ability. Players have heard it from their own coaches. Parents have heard it of their athlete sons or daughters. It's been a part of sports and will continue to be a part of sports. Simple. If you are serious with your statement, then that's fine. Leave. I won't stop you. I would ask however you answer this before you go: In your statement, you made it clear that you will no longer post supporting your point of view. This suggests to me though, that you will continue to read brewerfan.net. If you're going to ban posting, why not totally eliminate any chance of us hurting your feelings and avoid us all together? I'm suggesting that if you're going to make a protest, then do it right. Leave. Don't post, and protect your fragile, flower like state by not even looking at the site. No offense intended, but you wanted opinions, and I gave mine. I'd prefer you stay a member of the site, but like I said; if this place is that terrible, don't even read what we say. That way, you don't have to start another thread like this. Drama.

I missed a cool gardening show in "Create TV" for that last half hour of the game. **sigh** meh. bummer.

Let's do last weeks and then let each guy suggest where he hits next week, or come up with a lineup as a team some other way.

Kolb. Sweet. I'm gonna go take a nap.

I'd think it a safe bet that if it's not raining, I'll get a bunch of blue balloons and make our location with them.

Perhaps it's just me, but this game seems to be draaaaaaging onnnn and onnnn... getting sleeeeepy....

Mental Case. Hmmm... I guess that's a rather tough one. I don't really think that it's the best way to word things. I'd have to guess that mentally challenged is worse, and I'd also guess that saying a player has "mental issues to overcome" is accepted in most circles. (ie Rick Ankiel and wild pitches) I don't at all care for the word "pissed" being on the site, but it's here, and not going to make the filtered list. I can live with it. It's unfortunate that you've chosen to stop posting, I don't like to see someone so offended that they no longer want to participate. I can't judge for you if a phrase like "mental case" is out of line or not. You are the only one who can decide what's right or wrong for you, and if you decide that you no longer want to post, moderators can't change that. Hopefully, we will see you back here sometime in the future. If you are reading over threads and are concerned about an issue, please feel free to contact me via my brewerfan email, or my inbox. jamie@brewerfan.net

We Brewer fans in the library officially are ready to kick Geoff's butt right now. You don't want a group of Librarians mad at you. They can hit you with nickel a day fines, revoke your borrowing of book privliges, etc. Two or more Librarians is a gang my friend.

I have a bad, bad feeling about this.

What a great inning. Meh.

crap.
