    The media loves the negativity, keeps us all fearful, which is what they like. I'm to the point now that I am tuning out anything covid related, politics related, and basically anything being reported by our media. Every once in a while I a do a clense, and it improves my mood, and just plain makes me feel happier. The doom and gloom really gets old. The recent events, plus what is coming down the pike makes this a pefect time to tune out for a couple of weeks.

    thanks guys...

    I have waht might be a stupid question. I haven't read this thread for fear of being let in on too much, so please excuse the ignorance that my question might display. In the SW series, when does the Mandalorian take place? Would it come after Return of the Jedi but before the Force Awakens? I plan to start watching soon, but want/need to know where it fits in. Thanks in advance.

    This exactly. I think it is fair to be down on the guy due to his lackluster 2020, but I find it hard to believe he is really that guy. Rebound season, possibly, but even so, I don't expect him to be a star for us. I doubt we could find a trade partner unless we were willing to eat up his salary, even then, what we get back probably wouldn't be more than a lottery ticket type guy or 2.

    Former Angels clubhouse attendant Brian Harkins has named Gerrit Cole, among others, as players he supplied ball-doctoring substances to prior to his firing last March. Harkins filed suit against the Angels and Major League Baseball last August, alleging that he was unfairly made a scapegoat as the league cracked down on pitchers' use of ball-doctoring substances. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss Harkins' case in November and a January 21 hearing has been scheduled to determine whether it will move forward. In addition to Cole, Harkins has also identified Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Corey Kluber, Felix Hernandez and Adam Wainwright, among others, as players he has supplied his substance -- which is a blend of rosin and pine tar -- to. While technically against the rules, pitchers using substances to get a better grip on the ball is generally viewed as common practice and accepted throughout the league. It seems unlikely that any of the aforementioned pitchers will face any kind of discipline.

    It's an opinion, just because you don't agree with it, doesn't make it wrong...
  7. TURBO
    I disagree, but that is also part of being in discussion.
  8. TURBO
    Sorry, I think this is mis-characterizing quite a bit. If the same people 'have the right' to post their disappointment over and over in every thread, people with opposing views equally have the right to point out why they disagree with that take. Agreed. It's just hard to tell someone who thinks the sky is falling that they are wrong, or bad fans because of how they think...

    Well, there is plenty of room for you on the Mets bandwagon, just like there was plenty of room on the Reds bandwagon last year, and the Phillies bandwagon the year before that. Really, is the snarkiness warranted here? Dude is a Brewers fan obviously, this comment is just a bit over the top.

    Some of you act like it is a crime to be disappointed in what is going on this off season... Being a fan means a lot of different things to different people. Some can paint it all like a rose and act like everything is fine, some take the opposite approach and react like the sky is falling. Thereare those in between, but you can't ridicule those who feel one way or the other. Some of the lecturing that takes place here is ridiculous...

    I'm surprised that Spectrum doesn't have a lot of those 70's/80's movies available to rent. Cable companies have a lot of movies available to rent, you just have to search for them. I have xFinity and just looked up The Jerk and Animal House and I can rent them for $3.99. The Kentucky Fried Movie is free through Pluto. They do, they also have a ton of FREE movies to rent as well...

    As shocking as this might be, no mention of the Brewers, but the Pirates are checking in... According to Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic, the Pirates will be present at Corey Kluber's workout on January 13. It's already been reported that the Red Sox, Nationals, Mets, and Diamondbacks will be there, and a number of other teams figure to send reps as well. Kluber is looking to prove his health after being limited to one inning of work last season with the Rangers because of a Grade 2 teres major muscle strain in his right shoulder. Pittsburgh is probably an unlikely fit for the 34-year-old former two-time AL Cy Young Award winner. RELATED: Pittsburgh Pirates SOURCE: Rob Biertempfel on Twitter Jan 7, 2021, 8:46 AM ET

    Do they have a decent farm? I'm assuming they would have given up their better players for Lindor, what's left?

    Can probably cross the Dodgers off the Hader trade list... Hader isn't going anywhere imo.
  17. TURBO
    Stubborn is the polite way of putting it...
  18. TURBO
    It's frustrating when every player that could help us is rumored to be on the Red Sox, Yankees, Blue Jays, Nationals, Mets, etc radar. We are never mentioned in the equation. It's hard damn work being a Brewers fan.
  19. TURBO
    Not that it is likely any longer, but I'd rather trade Hader for corner IF guys than Hiura. Trading hitting for hitting doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

    Garcia was such a non-factor last season. Just a blah player in the daily line-up. He has to be better than 2020, right? I sure hope so, but I have no confidence in the guy.

    I'd roll the dice on him if the price was right... Free agent right-hander Corey Kluber will throw for interested teams on January 13 in Florida, per MLB.com's Jon Morosi. There had been some conflicting reports about the exact date of the showcase, but it sounds like it's now finally set. Kluber threw just one inning in 2020 before suffering a Grade 2 strain of the teres major muscle in his right shoulder, though he is said to be healthy now and should be able to find several incentive-laden type of offers. The 34-year-old has been connected to the Red Sox multiple times in recent weeks. RELATED: Boston Red Sox SOURCE: Jon Morosi on Twitter Jan 4, 2021, 4:05 PM ET

    In that same train of thought, isn't another good way for a GM to get fired is to trade away a bunch of guys that become future stars in MLB after they are traded? I mean if you start trading away the farm, and a bunch of those guys that you trade end up stars for other teams, that isn't good either. There is such a thin line between success and failure in baseball. To quote Kenny Rogers: You've got to know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em...

    Corn on pizza? That just sounds weird. (Maybe I am a bad judge of weirdness though, as I think pineapple on pizza is disgusting. Sweet and pizza just don't mix in my world.)
  24. TURBO
    Can you be more clear and tell me why?
  25. TURBO
    I probably shouldn't have this reaction since I don't know you are your MIL personally, but I'm pissed at her for doing that. Just completly inconsiderate. I almost can't believe it. Geez, sorry you had to go through that. EDIT: Oh, and congrats on the new family member!
