Man, you guys sure have to put a lot of effort into watching tv. You may be getting it cheaper, but geez, all that switching and tech savvy stuff just isn't for me. Thanks for the ideas though. It seems like it might be a good idea to try TDS for me if Spectrum won't come down in price when I tell them I'm leaving...

I don't think Pham (.229/.340 15 HRs - 49 RBIs - 475 ABs) offers any more than Taylor (.247/.321 - 12 HRs- 43 RBIs - 243 ABs). Pham made somewhere near $9M last year and would be looking at about the same or more this year. IMO money better spent towards a real upgrade in RF. Not for the kind of money he will demand, that is for sure. I don't think Pham is enough of an upgrade over what we have now to spend that kind of dough. I'd start out with Taylor before I pour another 10 million into our outfield, especially for a guy like Pham.

Pedro Severino Signs with Brewers 1 year 1.9 million
TURBO replied to IntentionalHBP's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
This is actually a little comical. I'd rather have Pina than Severino, but that ship has sailed... Probably time to move on to other life changing events in the Brewers world. -
Dude...

All the stuff going on and this board is dead. Kind of like we all know we aren't involved, so why bother posting... It really does suck knowing we aren't making a splash anytime soon in the FA market.

November 29-30 - Two days of player move craziness?
TURBO replied to Ron Robinsons Beard's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I'd hate it during the lockout, but I agree... It's time to level the playing field, even though I know there is almost a 0% chance of that happening...........................ever! -
Would like to have had him back, but this doesn't bother me too much. He just wasn't much of a factor for us down the stretch, but no one else was either offensively I guess. Best of luck to him.
-
Watch the news.....or better yet, don't. You'll be happier that way.
-
That may be true, but has nothing to do at all with his playing career.
-
I hope Bonds never gets in... NEVER!
-
All so true, just so true. Sounds like my district. I am retiring after this school year, 33 years in the profession and I'm ready to be done. It can't come soon enough. I enjoyed it immensely the first 24-25 years, not so much the past 8 or so... The teaching profession is an entire different animal from when I started, and there is no wonder at all why there is currently a shortage of teachers coming out of college. It's going to be a long long time before people want to start teaching again.

Two movies with 8 in the title? Next up, Super 8? Hateful 8? lol I'm watching my movie library alphabetically. Hateful 8 and Super 8 won't be on the docket for quite some time, but I will get to them eventually. Weeding out some movies for space reasons... I have 700+ dvds, so it will take a long time. Next up was "9" which was interesting, but not a keeper. Watched "10" today. Hadn't seen that one in a long time. Bo was something, but again, nothing I'll need to see again. Now to figure out what to do with all these dvds that I'm sure will be adding up over the next few months...
-
That is a concern for sure. I mentioned a long time ago that having Stearns here for one lame duck season, knowing full well he will be gone after this coming season, is just a bad idea. It can lead to a major conflict of interests when it comes to trades, etc. Offer up a HUGE extension, see if he bites. If he doesn't, we know he plans to leave.
-
I just assumed he wouldn't, so this is a nice little surprise!
-
sure thing...and honestly, a nice little note is just as good as a gift card.
-
KT is also a great idea!
-
Highlighted sentence is completely untrue. I haven't seen any teachers complain about their salary. Teachers don't do it for the money, if that was their number one concern, they wouldn't be in that profession to begin with. One thing that still rings true, same as the day I started teaching, some people have an ax to grind with teachers. I'm sure there are a number of reasons that this is the case (and all justifiable in the minds that have that ax sharpened up and ready to go), but it never really changes. It is probably 5x worse now than 30 years ago though. This I know is true, if you haven't ever worked in the profession of teaching, you can't possibly even begin to understand anything about it. You can look in from the outside, and think you get it, but you just don't. It would be like me looking into a corporate job and thinking I know what I'm talking about when I make generally ridiculous statements about that job. I'm done commenting now.
-
All true, but we do in fact, NEED some big bats in the offense as well as the guys you outlined above. An entire roster of those guys can't get it done, at some point, a "needle mover" just has to be acquired.
-
We already have 15-17 million tied up in Cain who will probably play 80 games this season, so I understand what you are saying...
-
There are a LOT of people that do in fact think that teachers get a paid 3 month summer vacation. That's a fact. Hide from what? Hide that we get paid for 9 months of work? Why would anyone hide from that? Makes no sense. That is/was a choice you make. Giving the gift is a showing of appreciation, if you don't appreciate your kids teachers, by all means, give them nothing. It isn't a requirement.
-
true, my bad, I ignored that. There truly are people who think teachers get paid summer vacation though, a lot of people...
-
Teachers have NEVER gotten 3 months of summer vacation paid. Summer vacation in not contracted. Teachers do not get summer vacation paid, period. That is a fallacy.
-
I wouldn't trade Woodruff if it didn't include a bat that inserts directly into the line-up for 2022. That bat, PLUS some others to replenish. I'm against trading any of our big 3 for the upcoming season though. I'd be willing to trade Houser or Lauer, but not Ashby or Small, for a BIG bat.
-
THAT is AWESOME!
-
Yeah, teachers don't deserve anything extra for dealing with the failures of parenthood on a daily basis...lol Gifts for teachers are never required or expected, but it's always nice to know that what you do for people's kids is appreciated. Even a nice note is just as good as a physical gift.
