TURBO

If I were allowed to go back in time, and see one of the two live, without even having to think about it, it would be Elvis, without a single doubt in my mind! Thank you very much...

Can you please stop posting your opinions as fact? It is annoying. Carry on.

Exactly... Make Davis wait a game or two before he gets action. Parra shouldn't be sitting until he cools off, if that means starting some kind of rotation between Davis and Gomez sitting every other day, so be it. Gomez can probably still use some rest since he has become so damn brittle. Reward the guy for his hitting, and continue to play him, hopefully jacking up his trade value in the process. I hope it isn't because CC didn't want to hurt Davis's feelings...

Actually it makes a lot of sense. Lefty on the mound it is more likely to keep him confident and keep his swing nice. A day off might just keep him going. The way he is hitting right now, I don't care that we are facing a lefty. It is just as likely a day off will take him out of his groove as it is to "keep him going."

Sitting Parra in the middle of his torrid hitting is just......well.......it's just dumb.

I just can't watch this any longer...It has gotten to the point of not even turning on a Lohse start. I haven't been smart enough to use that approach yet, but I think I will do so the next time he starts...This is just horrible.

Went to auto Sunday again today to see Ponce make his first appearance in a T-Rats uniform. Kid looked GREAT! I snapped off a few photos of him, Blake Allemand, Khris Davis (In Appleton for re-hab)and a few others, left during the 3rd inning for Wal-Mart to get 8x10s made and made it back for the top of the 5th inning. I wasn't sure if Davis would sign like Scooter did after his last re-hab game, but got a photo made just in case... Some notes this week: Brandon Diaz is a super nice kid. Always smiling and happy to sign. He got a HR robbed today on a spectacular catch. The Snappers CF or LF, I can't remember which, actually pulled it back from over the fence. I told him he got robbed, and he and I made some smart comments, just a great kid, easy to root for guys like that when their egos take a back seat during times with the fans. He stayed after most had left to sign for kids, I like seeing that, more on that later... Cody Ponce, also a super nice kid! His first time doing the auto Sundays and he was really accommodating, very polite, and seemed like he was pretty happy to be there signing for the fans. I had 2 different 8x10s for him, and wasn't sure I was going to ask him to do both, but when I saw his demeanor with people in front of me, I gave it a try. He was more than happy to sign both, and even dated them for me. Seemed impressed that I already had photos from a couple hours before...lol Again, it is really easy to pull for guys like that!!! Kodi Medeiros, Devin Williams, and Josh Uhen stayed long past the other players to make sure that everyone still there got their items signed. A pretty classy move, especially when everyone else had left. I can tell a lot about players character from little things like that, hopefully, as they move up the ladder, they keep that humble attitude with their fans. There are a few players who leave as soon as they are allowed to, but for the most part, the players stick around until their lines are empty. I saw lots of posing for pics today too... Boys like the sigs, girls want the photos. lol Khris Davis did not come out and sign with the other players like Scooter did a few weeks ago. I kind of didn't think he would, as he didn't put off a vibe when he played here in 2010 that he enjoyed doing the Sunday auto sessions. There were a lot of disappointed kids, AND grown-ups... I stuck around for a while to see if Matt Erickson would make an appearance, but he didn't, so I headed for the parking lot... Not many people were around by this time, and I noticed a handful of people (no more than 10-12) hanging around the players entrance/exit near the parking lot. I figured they were waiting for Davis to come out, so I hung around a few minutes, and sure enough, Khris Davis came out all alone and signed for everyone and took a lot of photos with fans as well. It was pretty neat, he talked with the fans, even smiled a few times. I got my photo signed, he asked me how I got that photo so fast, so I explained that Wal-Mart was right down the road. (he knew it was from today based on the Sunday pinstriped unis they wore) I'm chalking the day up in the success column

Saw Ponce pitch today, at times he looked un-hittable, and was a joy to watch...Big kid too, and super nice, had a quick chance to talk to him during auto Sunday, very respectful and fan friendly. So easy to root for guys like him and Kodi Medeiros when they turn out to be good people as well as super star athletes. Kodi Medeiros is not longer the scheduled starter for Monday, Zach Hirsch is getting the nod...I haven't seen him pitch yet, so I'll have to wander over to the stadium again tomorrow night. Williams is starting Tuesday, he is a guy I love to watch pitch. The times I have seen him, he seems to pitch older than he actually is.

Thanks everyone!

Why is that? Time to let the sour grapes go, he did his time, we all need to move on...

So take the amtrak, get off and take the L right to Wrigley?

...and if so, how close is Wrigley to the train station... Thanks in advance!

Which is why I don't understand why we have a team there...Seems like a horrible idea to put young guys in that situation. I hope we are gone from CS after that 2 year lease is up, just seems stupid.

The change of scenery sure did Gallardo some good...I don't think we can be sure that would have happened had he stayed in Milwaukee though.

well worth the number one draft pick we had to give up to get him...

With K-Rod, and I have no stats or actual proof to back this up, but it seems that anytime he is used in a non save situation, you are playing with fire... Some of these guys, closers, just don't pitch as well out of their routine... Getting on him in this situation is kind of pointless, he finished the game, didn't blow it, and still remains probably the most consistent guy in our bullpen all season long.

I think the time that Scooter spent away from the big club has done him some good with the stick for sure!!!

Wow, this is fun! Scooter getting in on the action as well... Hopefully Lohse can go 5 and get a win to pad his stats...

So are the St Louis Cardinals...

The Timber Rattlers did one this year too,,, Brewers have now done 3 (counting the marathon hank bobble) Hank SGA bobbles. That makes 4, not counting all the Bobbles of the month this season, and the one from last year. (So glad I didn't buy into the bobble of the month nonsense) UUUUGGGGHHHHH! So sick of that little mutt...

hey look, another stupid baserunning mistake... Man, that was ridiculous...

Two Broke Girls is probably one of the worst shows ever, yet I still DVR it and watch every episode. I can not explain why, I just do... Love the Olag (spelling?) character, and it's nice to see Garrett Morris still kicking... I took advice posted earlier, bought Broad City Season One on DVD for $8.99 and binged it a couple weeks ago. I found it to be ok, but not must see. There are surely some very funny moments and lines, but if I hadn't seen this season, I would be just fine. Workaholics is a lot better, not even in the same ballpark in my opinion... Not sure if anyone has mentioned it before, but I really enjoy the crap out of "The League."

I can not agree any more than I do with this post... Not to mention, they play that commercial, what, 20 times per game? ugh!

I can buy this theory, anything to make that darn mutt go away is ok by me...
